How to make money on Poshmark

Poshmark is an easy to use application. These are all the steps you need to take to start making money on Poshmark.

clothing supply

Before you start selling on Poshmark, you’ll need to collect some inventory. Some sellers choose to niche lower down, so their stores become recognizable for specific items, like cool vintage finds or new clothes. Others sell whatever they think people will like.

In addition to searching your closet for items, you can keep an eye out for things that you think will sell well. The more experience you have, the easier it will be! Look through consignment stores, thrift stores, Facebook Marketplace, yard sales, estate sales, and even eBay or Amazon to find clothes.

When checking out clothing, look for the labels of popular brands that are in style. Paying attention to trends will be very useful for you! If the sticker price is already high, consider passing it on. The reselling work may not be worth it.

Also, make sure that the clothes are in good condition. Pay attention and look for stains, tears, holes, broken zippers, discoloration, and more.

In addition to clothing, do not forget to carefully read the section on jewelry, shoes, bags and accessories. These items sell well on Poshmark and can be bundled together when potential buyers visit your store.

take photos of clothes

Once your inventory is ready (and washed), it’s time to take photos of your merchandise. Having high-quality photos is the key to selling your items.

Your phone’s camera is all you need to take photos. Some people also download existing images from a brand’s website if they can find them.

You are allowed to post multiple photos, so use that to your advantage. Take photos of clothing from different angles, including front, back, close-up, body/mannequin, hanging, and also include a picture of the tag for authenticity.

Make your best photo the main photo as it will show up in search and listed in your closet.

Make a list of items in your closet

After taking your photos, you can list the items for sale in your Poshmark closet. In addition to images, there are many other fields you need to fill out when placing your ad. While not all of them are required, the more information you enter, the better.

In your ad title, include keywords that potential buyers might search for, such as “blue strapless dress” or “J-Crew top.” Then provide a more detailed description of the item, including condition and size.

Also, fill in the clothing category, size, brand, color, and style. If the item is new with tags, please mark it as such. These are all things shoppers can filter through when searching for clothing, so you want to make sure your items are as discoverable as possible.

Finally, you can set your price. Poshmark charges a flat rate commission of $3.95 for sales under $20. For items over $20, they charge a 20% commission.

Sending your sales

Once you have a buyer, Poshmark will notify you that it’s time to ship an item. Fortunately, it’s easy to ship items, and Poshmark makes it easy by providing you with a prepaid shipping label that you can print. Once printed, you can place the label on any envelope, plastic envelope, or cardboard box that contains your item.

You can then drop off your package at any Post Office or PO Box (if it fits), and the package will be shipped via USPS Priority Mail. Mark the package as shipped in the app to notify your buyer that their item is in path.

Average shipping time is 1-3 days, so your buyer should receive it soon. Once they do, they mark the item as received and are then encouraged to rate it as a seller.

Poshmark is unique in that it is set up similar to a social platform. You can follow other Poshmark users; the more followers you have, the more popular your wardrobe will be. It also means you’ll reach more people every time you share an item from your closet.

Shares are when you share items from your closet with your followers. When you make a new list, it will automatically be shared with your followers. But you can go back and re-share old listings so they appear on the home page for other people once again.

Also, be sure to follow new users on Poshmark. Lots of people are likely to follow you, and it’s a good way to get people to check out your profile and closet. Remember, think of Poshmark like you would other social media platforms!
