Self promotion is a no no

Not for sale

Like and save for later

Self promotion is a big no no on other people's listings! It's like walking into a store and screaming "hey everyone come to my store right now!" You wouldn't do that would you? If you want to be seen, share to posh parties, socialize with other ladies, and make your listing beautiful! Next time you're about to write "follow me everyone...great prices" on someone else's listing think about it first! The second picture is an example of just one of my listings that has been completely spammed.

alexflowerz Thank you for posting this!!!! It's so annoying and then when you tell them to please stop, they act all upset and offended.

vccruzer I hate when people do that. It's so rude. PayPal transactions and trades bother me too but that's another story. It bothers me to break rules A LOT

pdub341 Love! My latest is someone who said they demanded i sent an item via overnight shipping hahaha

princess_jessy Hello, I'm New On Here & I Was Wondering How I Can Get Followers On Here?

Feb 06Reply

almoyes @mstyle89 here it is (see above)

Feb 06Reply

almoyes @princess_jessy After commenting here, why did you post to "follow you" on one of my new listings? Please read this listing (above ^) If you aren't respectful of others, then it will be a tad difficult to attract new followers to your closet. See PoshMark Support Center under the "logout" option. In the support center section, read the sections titled "Helpful Posh Tips" and "Community Guidelines"

Feb 06Reply

almoyes @princess_jessy Just interact with others in a respectful manner and you should do fine. It takes time to build a following. I gained 2000 followers in 8 months. It is not easy. Read the sections that I mentioned above. Aside from how to interact, read the tips to improve your listings, join parties, and share listings of others. Just don't ask them to share back. Good luck and have fun!

samantha_raven Wow. People really do that ? I thought that was kinda of like... A rule of thumb. Ridiculous you had to post this :( 👎

jneria I'm getting really burned-out on stuff like this 😕

katiegolightlyx i am also getting annoyed by people who mark things with a designer name just so that they can place them into a party.. that's spamming too!

katenychay Where do you get your items?

Feb 06Reply

hannah @katenychay from my closet and my business

Feb 06Reply

katenychay Oh cool, do you have a store somewhere?

Feb 06Reply

hannah @katenychay thanks! I'm in the process of making my website right now but I already have product so I'm listing it on here as well:)

Feb 06Reply

katenychay That's awesome! It seems like a lot of people use poshmark as a sort of store front. I wish I had more things to sell but right now I'm only selling from my closet.

ehugurl99 @hannaho . Thank you for posting this!! I found it rude, egocentric,intrusive for those people who just comes in to your closet and advertise their own!! I have several people that do this into my closet and I was completely blown away!!! How can people just do that!!!

hal3yros3 @deerecoder when you block someone can they NOT see your listings? Or is it that they can't comment?

valerieannk01 @i had a girl out an inappropriate sentence on mine. Is there a way to remove it?? It's very embarrassing.

Feb 07Reply

valerieannk01 @nikki0818 I had the same girl say that on my page. How do you block?

Feb 07Reply

valerieannk01 @nikki0818 thanks do much. I saw it deleted the comment also. :)

Feb 07Reply

marieminx @hal3yros3 I have a feeling that the people who are being rude, possibly oblivious, are not going to be the active people who share your listings or purchase your items; this, maybe it's not as big of a loss. Being an extreme optimist, I'd hope people just have no idea of etiquette, no malice :)

Feb 07Reply

abbeyroad I totally agree that it's annoying to see that kind of stuff all over a random post trying to sell a dress or something....but I'm new as well and don't really understand how to obtain followers. I would never do something like that, so my closet is just hanging out unnoticed. Any recommendations?

Feb 07Reply

hannah @abbeyroad Welcome to poshmark! you can gain followers by making your listings look beautiful, sharing them to the appropriate parties, and socializing with the other ladies :)

mamab369 I'm new to pm as well ... I've been pretty successful with buying from others closets ... Have gotten some incredible stuff ! I have started setting things aside to set up my own closet but gotta admit I'm a bit nervous:) hopefully ill do ok... More than anything it's sooo much fun and I have chatted with some really nice poshers... I would love for the fun to continue from my closet, but people like the ones mentioned in your comments can seem like they could suck the fun right out of it... I'm glad you posted .... I know what to watch out for now :)

Feb 13Reply

hannah @siennethreads ahh thanks lady!! It's super exciting!!

justinas_closet Thank you!!! I had to tell someone to stop recently. She kept posting in all my items to check out some stuff in her closet. Makes me wish we could delete those comments only.

Feb 15Reply

hannah @kkbella hey! Welcome to poshmark!! That's not bad at all! That is exactly what you should be doing to gain followers! Just make sure that you are sharing items to parties that actually go with the theme:) this listing is about the people who ruin others listings by writing self promoting comments on them!

Feb 15Reply

hannah @kkbella anytime!:)

marieclark I sold a Boston Proper for 15$ and the girl's harassment is getting out of control. She said there is a little green spot On the front which would go away wishing in ! It's even in the picture iAm trying to make things right For her even late last night I posted a almost brand new black jacket and offer to send it for free. She just won't stop! Finally i wrote Poshmark and told them to refund her. Dang. Some ladies are out of hands ... To be Continue

tracy58 U go girly!!! Can't believe there is a comment afterwards about followers!!!!

Feb 17Reply

busylizzie I'm one week new here as well and will change my screen to no PP or trades. I didn't read the rules (darn ADHD!) so am happy to have seen this feed! My problem is that I KNOW my designer items are authentic but I see people selling replicas and then they may have one or two that they say are authentic so I don't trust buying from them because they sell replicas! I HATE replicas. Blah! Just save up and buy the real thing!

jbear @hannaho 🙌🙌🙏👏 PREACH!!!! Ladies new to posh: If you want followers than help share listings of stuff that you love but already have or maybe can't afford at the time. Self promotion done the wrong way can be cheesy and tacky. ONLY if someone posts that they are looking for something that has already been sold can you refer them to your closet politely and that is under slim circumstances. All of the ladies I've talked to on here so far are extremely kind and generous, but do not expect to try and take advantage to get their stuff at little cost. Everyone must be fair when negotiating prices. A way I found followers was by searching for clothes and shoes in my size and than following that person and sharing some of their listings - I LOVE SHARING btw - usually they will help share mine, and if not oh well. Use the same common curtesy & respect you would in public. And ps: don't get mad if someone won't sell you an item for half the price they are listing it for, sellers have to make $$$ too!!! Xoxoxoxo

Feb 18Reply

poshchronicles @hannaho I agree with you! Very rude I think for those that try to advertise through someone else's listing! I decided to block those culprits. In regards to PP, yes, I just found out that's a no no and took that off my profile completely! It was very nice of a sweet girl to let me know of that policy! 😉🎀

Feb 18Reply

jbear @hannaho ah! I'm super nosey and just read all the comments lol but congrats on your success with PM! And good luck with your store! i can see how certain stuff is annoying but i havent been harrassd with the followers thing yet lol - take it as a compliment that you are doing so well! maybe you should charge for marketing lessons 😉 I did see a few newbies w questions ab how to get followers hope you don't mind but I wrote a comment above on tips for them to promote since they are new @jessalcain @abbeyroad @heatherv78 @kayla304 - good luck everyone!

styledbyjadie @brittanymarilyn ⬆ just some advice

Feb 20Reply

beccboot I have a random "poshequitte" question and I noticed you have been a big help to some others...During a Posh Party is it OK to use an "ad" to invite people to your closet as long as you have items that match the party? For example, a Coach party and sharing a listing that says come check out my closet for a Coach sale? Or a Bauble party posting a listing telling people all jewelry is 10% off that day? I get annoyed when I see random listings that don't match the party or "ads" when the closet doesn't have anything that matches the theme...but I do often click on them to check out new closets. Thanks for your help!

uly16 I agree with the post. Ppl NEED to start being themselves. Ppl tell us to be ourselves but they won't even be themselves. Even ppl on tv tell us to be ourselves but they won't be themselves. I don't like it one bit. Sorry if it doesn't sound right.....

golyndsey Hi Hannah! I have a quick question... How do individuals become a "Suggested User"? Is this something people pay for? Just trying to learn more about Poshmark! Thanks in advance - love your closet's deliciousness!!! ;)

Feb 27Reply

kenzibray OMG 💗this!!! I'm so tired of parties being spammed by oh look at my discounts, and I have all these Brands in my closet. When I go to look through a posh party I want to see the brands, theme that is SUPPOSED to be there. Not people who try to bend the rules just to get their stuff in there

Feb 27Reply

rdesigns85 @polkadotdrawer please read so you are aware of it. What you said wasn't to the extent of "follow me" but still annoying. Hope we can put it behind us and just so you know I didn't block you and you were the one spamming.
