So, I have officially been on Poshmark over a year now. It was really, really slow going, but I am finally starting to feel like I am getting a bit of traction.

I will say though that I don’t have a particularly curated closet. I pretty much throw anything and everything up on PM, whether or not it’s super trendy. I have even started using the Home category, and have listed some baby blankets and plush.

It is my goal to list at least 5 items per day. I cross list from eBay, so this really doesn’t take very long. I am still working to reach my goal of selling an average of one item per day, but I’ve gotten so much closer!

In July I listed 143 new items on PM, and sold a grand total of 4.
In August I listed 144 new items, and sold 15.
In September I listed 147 new items, and sold 27.

Pretty darn close to my goal! May this month I will reach it.

How is Poshmark going for you?

I remember posting about joining Poshmark once upon a time … I just looked and it was all the way back in June! I am still listing and selling there, but it can be so slow. I just took a look at my stats, and since I started selling in June I have sold 92 things. Which isn’t nothing … but when you think about it, and how many days I have been active on PM … it really isn’t a lot.

Listing on PM takes almost no time because I cross-post from eBay. I usually need to square my photos (I use Pixlr, it works great) and from there it is just cut and paste. Lickety split.

Fun fact: almost 1/3 of the sales I have made on PM have been costumes. I bought a LOT after Halloween last year and immediately cross-posted them all, which has paid off.

I became a Posh Ambassador a few months back. I actually had all of the requirements in place to earn that status several months before with the exception of having actually made a PM purchase myself.

(Actually, randomly, I did make a PM purchase shortly after joining and the package was lost by the USPS! I never got it. I waited a couple weeks hoping to receive the package, but no dice. When I let PM know I had never received the package (as verified by the tracking) my money was promptly refunded.)

Fast forward several months I made a second purchase which did actually arrive, I left a love note, and voila! Posh Ambassador. I’m not sure if it actually affects my sales at all, but it definitely affects my number of followers. I get many, many more followers now than I did previously.

Since the beginning of the year I have been keeping track of my number of listings and followers, mostly as a curiosity to see how it progresses.

I try to be active on PM every day. Most days I create three new listings.

I share to parties as appropriate. I share my own listings and follow and share the listings of others. I try to do this every day, but I also try to only do this in chunks of time that I wouldn’t be doing anything else. (For example, my five minute walk from my car in to work, my breaks at work, riding in the car when my husband is driving.) I try not to let PM sharing invade my real life or online working hours because if I let it, it could TAKE OVER!

I would really like to get to the point where I could consistently have one PM sale every day. That doesn’t seem like too much to ask, does it? I would be happy to take any advice from those who also sell on PM. What have you done to help increase your own sales? Please share!

I have been thinking about listing clothes on Poshmark for quite awhile.  In fact, when I went to set up an account recently I was surprised to discover that I already had one, that I set up way back in December, 2016.

A few days ago on a whim I decided to list a couple items.  Now, I honestly have no idea how it all works.  I know I have heard that sharing is important.  Is the sharing just – random?  Does it matter what I share, or just that I do it?  Should I just follow absolutely everyone?  (Are the 300+ people who have started following me for no known reason just hoping for a follow back?)

Can people always make offers?  I only had a handful of items listed, and this evening I got an offer on one of them.  It was a bit low, but I decided I should take it, just to get my feet wet.  So, yay!  First Poshmark sale, check.

I got the e-mail with the shipping label.  I know it will go Priority, and when I was reading through all of the Poshmark FAQs a few days back it seemed they recommend using the free USPS boxes.  The item I sold is a small skirt.  It seems silly to put it in a box.  Are polymailers still okay?  It seems maybe I remember sellers buying cutsie polymailers for their Poshmark sales?

If you are already on Poshmark and have any tips or tricks I would love to hear them.  And/or if you follow any Poshmark sellers on Youtube please share that too.  I think someone here recommended The Empty Hanger awhile back, and I have watched a few of her videos, but other than that this is all brand new to me!

Thanks, friends!
