@styleluxe4less Hey I read your blog thanks for taking the time to do that and congrats on becoming a suggested user if you ask me poshmark should pay you on payroll
styleluxe4less
@mrsprez Haha! Thanks, Cassie. Hopefully, it will lead to at least a few new followers for you. ;)

@styleluxe4less I have actually just made my 1st sale and I'm super excited. I plan to do a little something special for my customer. On the boxes tho? If I take my printed off label to the post office then they will give me free box to send it out in?
styleluxe4less
@mrsprez CONGRATS! Yes, the post office should be able to help you. Depending on the post office, you MAY have to buy a box, but I don't think you will have to. Don't go in there and use a Flat Rate box. That won't work. For my blog, I did a video on Shipping and how to get the boxes. Not sure if Jessica put it up today, but if not it will go up tomorrow. Definitely follow those instructions so you're prepared for your next sale. Good job, Cassie!
mrsprez
@styleluxe4less Thanks Robin I will definitely be checking your blog and I really truly appreciate you help
styleluxe4less
@mrsprez Also, that listing where I first met you has a ton of info! I think there are over 100 comments now. :)
styleluxe4less
@mrsprez Just wanted to let you know we just posted a blog about Shipping. It's a video, so it should be very helpful for you on the easiest way to ship, the boxes to use, how to get them delivered to your house for free, and more! :)
mrsprez
Awesome @styleluxe4less Thanks again

@devinsjules Hi Marianna! You can go to my closet and click the website in my profile and it will take you straight there! There's an entire series on Poshmark. Right now, it will start with a video post called "How do I ship?".

Read the post on your trade experience and I must let you know that I've had similar experiences with that particular seller @styleluxe4less In fact, I went through three rounds of her attempting to "make things right", each of which led to something else being wrong ... suffice to say I no longer do business with her. Fool me once, et al :)
mswhite56
@styleluxe4less I got shafted on one of my first trades by pinkblonde7777. I sent her belt--she never sent my shoes. Valuable lesson. Now I don't trade except with prior good customers! I don't really recommend it, myself.
styleluxe4less
@mswhite56 Did you read the post, Karie? It's pretty interesting.
mswhite56
@styleluxe4less I did read quite a bit--I need to set some time aside to read the blog, and watch the videos. Shipping makes more sense to me now! Did I tell you I traded with someone and they burned me? Lesson learned; the hard way! Thanks for ALL your help--don't know where you find the time!🎃

Really appreciate you sharing your blog with us 😊 and after reading it I will not be trading. I know how neat and clean my items are but will never know how the other party cares for theirs. Even items I bought that look pretty on the photos I gotten cover in dust😝! So TRADE request for me please!

I left out the "No" out of No trades!!! Lol

@reny1 Thanks for sharing that, Yeny.

Thanks for sharing Robin! Btw I've done over a dozen trades & mostly have been great all around- I've never had someone not send the item, cant say the same for purchases where I spent $ & have received fake or not as shown/described merchandise.

I don't understand how this works... When I give my credit card number to buy what I like, who actual gets the money? Also if I want to sale how do I get my money?
styleluxe4less
@ashleyrene1986 Hi Ashley! I'll tag you in another listing in my closet that has the answers to your questions and a lot more! It's really easy to understand how Poshmark works. :)
styleluxe4less
@randileigh1000 Hi Randi! She would have to share pictures with Poshmark of the damaged item(s) and they would make a decision what she could return to you. They would not allow for her to return her other items and get all of her money back if there were not any issues with the other items. And, you definitely will get money for everything you charged her for. If you threw a few rings in for free, that is something you should share with Poshmark to get those items returned as well. Hope this helps!

Good morning im also new at this just look at the amount of items in my closet lol but im getting there can you on everything lol from buying to selling to anything that will help with my experience here be an awsome one thanx also how does the whole paypal thing work thanx sweetie
bellamar
Sorry left the help me part out lol
styleluxe4less
@bellamar Hi Marbella! I will tag you in another listing that you can read all of the comments and have ALL of the info you need (and more - LOL). But quickly, DON'T use PayPal, it's against Poshmark's policy, they have their own payment system. And, DO follow a ton more people. It will increase your followers, because most will follow you back, and then more eyes will be on your closet. More info on all of this is in that listing. And, you can read the blog series we did on my fashion blog at www.bitly.com/PoshmarkSeries (case sensitive)

Thanx ur sooo nice ;)

@Qtfourlife @barber_melissa @ballistica @poca9898 @ladylaw @jpc1219 @mishel24 @lolameister @abbyabbyabby Hi Ladies! Since you're new to Poshmark, I thought I'd share this listing/blog link about trading on this site. You'll see that many buyers will ask to "trade" items from our closet for items in their closet. The expectation then is that you agree to ship items on your own dime. The thing is, Poshmark doesn't condone this as it's risky since it's on the honor code. Of course the decision is up to you. Happy reading!
jpc1219
Thank you for taking the time to welcome all of us "newbies" to PM! Also for the information in your blog. Very helpful! I am looking forward to getting my closet up and going soon and I appreciate you allowing me to "lean" on you as needed! Lol PS: nice to meet you!
jpc1219
Dear Robin, you seem to be the "go to" person for any all things PM. I have a question. Is there any way to search for a particular designer name, like "Bebe" or "Vera Wang"? My daughter is in search of a particular brand and since I am really new to this, I have no idea. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank very much for all you do for us "newbies!"

styleluxe4less
@gail71144 @jcp1434 I'll answer your questions tomorrow. @sonyascloset I'll tag you in another listing. Basically, if you read through the comments, you will understand everything you need to know (& more)!
styleluxe4less
@sonyascloset One thing is that you can't sell replicas on Poshmark. Not sure if you knew that or not. :(
styleluxe4less
@gail71144 Hi Gail! I’m a little confused by the question, but I think you are saying you were forced to pay shipping a second time. (If someone told you that you had to buy something else, well that is not the case. They could have easily created a new listing that was just for your second shipping that had a $0 price, and you just “buy” it in order to get the second label. This only happens when people have a lot of heavy items that they package together. I have NEVER had to charge a person for the second shipping label, and I once sold 12 items to one person (some were accessories, but still). Now you are a seller and you don’t want this to happen to any of your customers, so if someone requests a lot of items or 3 pairs of shoes, etc., then when you are negotiating the bundle price, you will want to go ahead and tell them that it will require 2 shipping labels. Then, you can work out who will pay for what. Let me know if you still have questions and good luck with your first big sale, Gail! :)
styleluxe4less
@jpc1219 Hi Pegi! You are very welcome. ;) As for your question regarding searching, ABSOLUTELY there is a way to search by designer. You simply click Feed, then click the magnifying glass at the top left and enter the designer in the dearch box. TIP: Once you find one listing that has the designer designated under the Designer area in blue after the size (and not just in the title), you can click the designer name in blue and it will take you to ALL of the other listings on Poshmark by that designer! If you haven’t already, check out that other listing in my closet that is a Helpful Guide for New Users. You can find all the info you need there. (This question was even answered there already.)
jpc1219
Thank you very much Robin! I will try that. I also finally got around to posting items today! I'm very excited to get started. Thank you again for all your help and wisdom! 😃👍

@styleandpepper I used to trade but them I traded with @hearthaliee and she never sent her side of the trade! She said she did but I never received it and she's been re asking what's ur address, I'm going to send it but u need I first and things like that! I lost $40 worth of Abercrombie shorts! I now DO NOT trade at all

@styleandpepper sorry I Didn't mean to tag you! Wrong person

@styleluxe4less I forgot to tag you! Please read the last comment I posted on this page! I accidentally taged someone else but just ignore that
styleluxe4less
@sierraagarwal Sorry to hear that! But, that's why Poshmark doesn't recommend it. BTW - you don't have to tag me in my own listings. Only when you are not in the person's closet, do you have to tag them. :)

@styleluxe4less : I have watched your videos and have read your blogs!! Let me say I have learned SO much from you! I just wish I were skinny enough to buy items from your closet! :-)
I like to research everything & wanted to do "due diligence" before I start selling so I can be fully prepared. I look through every person's closet before I will follow them, and only if I get a good feeling from their listings will I even consider making a purchase from someone.
Not everyone will read (or have read...) the "Terms of Service" and all the legal stuff, but maybe they'll watch a short video instead. There are so many PM users who are frustrated with things like, "Why no Paypal?", "Why no Trades?", "To Bundle or Not to Bundle?", or "Why Not Publicly Bash Scammers?", to name a few.
I know you have videos & blogs to cover these topics and more! Is there any way that you could work it out with Poshmark for them to send every new user a "welcome pack" with an introductory video from you on the "Does and Don'ts of Buying & Selling on Poshmark"?
It's just an idea, but I thought I'd ask to see what you think. Like others have said, you really should be a PM employee! I thank you for your knowledge of Poshmark & for your "fashion passion" for finding gorgeous items to sell!
:-)

@christysp8 Robin has several excellent posts and/or links to articles on her blog to help understand the dangers of trading. The main concern (to me) is that people usually zero out the purchase in order to avoid the 20% fee to Posh but still get a shipping label. However of there is an issue, you're only covered for the purchase amount - in that case, $0.

@styleluxe4less Hi 👋Robin! I came across your closet and all your helpful hints back when I joined 11/2012 . Thank you for posting them . I see you have a new baby . Congrats 🎉. I went to Poshfest n I had a blast . Many blessings for u and your family 😘🙏
theposhvault
Good morning! I was wondering if you know if Posh is considering adding an option for "More Like This"- example: I was searching for a Coach horse and carriage charm and the search pulled up all kinds of things not even near what I was looking for so I scrolled for nearly 2 hours in vain. I did finally find one that was sold and If that option was available, it would certainly save so much frustration of a lengthy search through things I'm not interested in. Another example is my search for a Christmas sweater and I finally gave up after having to scroll through so many children and toddler items. I would certainly appreciate any advice you can give.

Was offered to trade, unfortunately not interested in trading. Whats the best way and how should I respond? Thanks!
stacymichele
Sorry this is off topic but your Q&A post reached max comments!! Quick question...how does posh determine which discounted items get free shipping? I feel like when I first started last month, almost every time I had lowered a price, the girls who liked my post would get cheaper shipping for one hour. However, this past month I've lowered items up to 45%, and although my likers get notified of the price decrease, they do not get offered discounted shipping. Is there any rhyme or reason to this or is it just random? Thanks!
madisondillon17
I have a question
madisondillon17
I bought 3 things from 3 different people over the past week. Now posh,ark won't let me buy or make a offer on anything, I also tried contacting poshmark support and the never responded to my emails.
