I'm totally new. Less than 24 hours. Lol. I've bought a few things. I've seen some reviews where people never got their items. Does that happen often? Just nervous! Lol
lilacrose
@stacyhorn1 Poshmark is a really safe app for buyers and sellers. Sometimes people have abandoned closets, so you may buy something but the seller may not send it. If this happens they don't get paid and you'll get a refund after 10 days!
cortnicol
Why are some prices so high for a cheap item??
lilacrose
@stacyhorn1 don't get nervous, just stay on Poshmark and you're covered! offline transactions (PayPal) are not supported by PM
lvprincess
No idea what to do. I'm lost!
stacyhorn1
Thank you!!!! @lilacrose
lilacrose
@cortnicol we use that tactic to reserve an item! We change the price add a zero or two so no one else buys then when buyer is ready we change price back!
stacyhorn1
@lilacrose you have saved my nerves for the day. Thank you for your advice and help.
knikole94
What is the lmk ? I've seen that a few places? I've only been on here a few days too.
lilacrose
@knikole94 lmk= let me know
knikole94
Oh! That makes sense. Thank you! :)
lilacrose
@lvprincess it's a little confusing at first! Browse around and see if you get the hang of it! Selling is easy, just take pics of your item, describe as accurately as you can, pointing out any flaws if any, and list! Your feed will be items shared by people you're following. You can also search for specific items you may be interested in! Let me know if you have any specific questions!
lilacrose
@courtni_chapin hi! A listing is an item for sale. You can make one through the app by hitting the "sell" tab. It will prompt you to take pics of any items you want to sell! These listings will appear in your closet! Good luck!
angelalorainne
Can you specifically look for certain brands or a style like "preppy" or a keyword like "purple"?
alyxzandra
I've seen some listing that say reserved like a listing says sold. How do ou o that?
lilacrose
@angelalorainne yes ma'am! Go to your feed then at the top you will see a magnifying glass icon. Hit that and type in anything you are looking for key words like purple or Marc Jacobs. You can also use filter to specify sizes!
ap1211
i want to post some items for sale but i do not see the 'sell' button anywhere...
lilacrose
@alyxzandra you just edit your listing and write reserved in the description or title! Most people also change the price by adding a zero or two so no one else will buy!
lilacrose
@ap1211 it's the camera icon
lilacrose
@ap1211 look at my 2nd pic, it is on the bottom of the screen, the camera icon. It will prompt you to take pics!
simplyxtrendy
@lilacrose this is totally helpful! Good job 😊👍
hopieee
I have had a couple items up for a day or two and no one has even liked them I don't understand why no one even likes them
lilacrose
@stacyhorn1 pls feel free to ask me any other questions that may come up! Happy to help!!! Happy poshmarking!!!
ajjc214
How do you bundle?
lilacrose
@hopieee you have to share your items to parties and to your followers to expose your listing otherwise no one sees it!
hopieee
I okay thanks
lilacrose
@ajjc214 you can bundle several ways! Some people list the items or use an app like pic collage to show which items in the closet the buyer is purchasing. You can create a new listing for this or just edit an existing one! Then you change price to whatever amount you agreed to and voila! It's ready for buyer to purchase!
t2c
How do I get people to follow me?
lilacrose
@t2c the easiest way is to follow people and the usually follow back!!!
t2c
Ok also how do I upload an item that I already have listed into a party
lvprincess
I don't hav many people folowing me so I don't know who will see my products?!
lilacrose
@lvprincess follow people! They'll usually follow back! So when you share your items, they will be the ones to see your listings!
carrie71
@lilacrose this is great feed for newcomers. Wished I could of found you when I started a month ago lol But you are right, the more you browse and share and join parties and follow the more your items get out there too. Would be great to have feedback on PM etiquette. Seems a lot of variety of sells techniques people use. Thanks for all the help :)
sydneyshotwell
How do I get more people to view my closet?
lilacrose
@sydneyshotwell you have to expose your listings at parties and you need more followers! They are the ones who see them when you share them! Get more followers by following others! They'll follow back most of the time!
annsc
😉☺😊
haleyanne11
How do I get more followers? I want people to be able to see what I'm selling!
lilacrose
@haleyanne11 best way is to follow as many people as you can! They usually follow back! Also share for people, some share back! Of they have lots of followers, then all their followers will see your listing too!
haleyanne11
Thank you!!
lilacrose
@haleyanne11 my pleasure! Feel free to ask anymore questions if you have any!
haleyanne11
I definitely will! Thanks so much for the shares ❤❤
annsc
@alyxzandra if the buyer didn't put "reserved" on the listing themselves, and it says it in a yellow bar where it usually says sold, it means that someone is in the process of paying for the item. ☺😉
lilacrose
@t2c you don't need to re-upload it, you just have to share it! If you go to the listing itself, you'll see the share option
alyxzandra
Thanks @annsc that makes sense!
annsc
@alyxzandra you're welcome!... @lilacrose is a friend of mine and taught me everything I know! Hehehe. A great posher!
alyssa_hudson
What are these party things? It's saying that I'm invited to all of these different types of "parties"? I'm confused haha @lilacrose
lilacrose
@alyssa_hudson they are posh parties! They happen at 9am (usually brand specific) and 12 noon (item specific likes shoes, bags, denim etc) and 7pm is the themed party where you can share any brand and any item that suits the theme! You can also shop at the parties bcz many other users will be sharing items!
bensonhurst
Joined a few days ago; how do you make the signs with the messages? Is there an app? Haven't bought anything yet bc I am so overwhelmed by so much stuff coming on my feed; is there a way to streamline it?
lilacrose
@bensonhurst I used versagram!
lilacrose
@bensonhurst your feed shows the listings shared by the people you are following, you can unfollow them and only follow the sellers you want to see in your feed
bensonhurst
@lilacrose; thank you! (Wow, and I just learned how to reply:)
shelbj
@lilacrose how do you go about selling through PayPal?... How do you choose the shipping if you go through PayPal?
lilacrose
@shelbj It's actually against Poshmark policy to do transactions through Poshmark. Many buyers and sellers have been getting scammed this way, so I don't recommend it
shelbj
@lilacrose oh well I just hate how the shopping costs so much on PM
lilacrose
@shelbj I know! Sadly that's the cost of a safe transaction! Well worth it for an item you really like! Also if you spend more than $25 shipping is $5!
shelbj
@lilacrose true! Thanks for answering my question
montanagirlie
Thank you for this feed! I'm super new too! Why does it sometimes say prices are marked Down to a higher price? Or I saw someone's who in the feed said marked down to $40 but when I clicked on it it said $110?
diamond08
When you ship something how long does it take for the person to receive them?
beznerln
Brand new just joined today. Is it difficult to get followers for your closet? I'm a little lost. Well at least I got a closet started:)
lilacrose
@montanagirlie sometimes the seller does that to reserve an item for a buyer. When I reserve I add a zero or two. Then when buyer is ready I change it back to agreed price
lilacrose
@diamond08 typically takes 3-5 business days! Priority mail is awesome and you can track your package!
lizzbc
Lilacrose is definitely the right person for questions! 😊 She's always willingly to help others! @lilacrose Thanks again for introducing me to PM and for all your help! 😊 You're the best! 💗 ya!
asyndx0
How can I make my closet more visible to others!? I have great stuff! :)
lilacrose
@asyndx0 you need to expose your listings at posh parties and you need more followers! They are the ones who see your stuff when you share them! You get more followers by following people! They usually follow back!
asyndx0
Thank you!!
asyndx0
Also, how can you share to parties?
lilacrose
@asyndx0 if you go to your listing, there's a share option, you can share to 9am if it fits the brand, the noob party if it fits the category (denim, shoes, bags) and the 7pm is a theme but its not brand specific or category specific so you can share all your items!
t2c
Will you share a few of my items so hopefully I can get some followers? lol I keep following others and putting my items in parties but it's just not helping
lilacrose
@t2c takes a while to expose them! I didn't sell anything till after 3 weeks of signing up, so be patient! Your first sale will come soon!
lilacrose
@t2c also, share for others, they usually share back! Hope that helps!!!
t2c
@lilacrose thanks so much for the encouragement lol I hope something starts to happen lol
lilacrose
@t2c yes something will happen!!! I used to go on following sprees where I'd follow like 1000 people in a night! Hahahha you just never know who will follow back, check out your closet and be interested! Also you can search for items similar to yours and see the people who have liked those items and follow them, maybe if they're still looking, tag them and say, " I saw you liked something like this" etc etc
ellissia
I have so many questions I am more for more plus size clothes. Is there anyway to filter by size? Thanks in advance for your help!
lilacrose
@ellissia yes you def can!!! If you go to your feed, on the top left corner you'll see a magnifying glass icon, when you search listings for dresses for example, on the right you will see the filter icon. Search by size!
designerdiva1
What does "bundle" mean and how do we do it?
designerdiva1
How do I share my listings in a Party too??
lilacrose
@designerdiva1 hi! Bundle is more than 1 item in someone's closet! You bundle
Them together in one listing to save buyer on shipping, they only pay it once! I usually use an app pic stitch to make a collage of all the things the buyer wants and change price to whatever we agree upon. Then I change the prices on the other individual listings by adding a Zero or two so no one else buys them
lilacrose
@designerdiva1 you share them (if they fit category or brand) by hitting the share icon at the bottom of the picture of your listing! Hope that helps!
hopieee
I really want to make my first sale but no one wants to buy my stuff I shared to party's and people have been sharing my listings but still no one that stays interested what am I doing wrong??
designerdiva1
Thank you! Next question who is policing the listings? I have only been on here a few days and I see so many sellers blatantly selling via Paypal and selling knockoffs. I work hard for my money and collection of authentic goodies and this makes me so mad. It's like all of Ebay's banned sellers are on here...
designerdiva1
Hi Again, when I hit "Share" it says it's only going to my followers?
lilacrose
@designerdiva1 parties only occur at 9, noon and 7 PM, you'll see the option during those times
lilacrose
@designerdiva1 the Poshmark community tries its best to police the listings but its growing at such a rapid rate it's hard for them to monitor every single closet. You can report an item or report a closet though. And yes, stick to PM as all the transactions are secure!
lilacrose
@hopieee it's takes time! Whenever you share only the 70+ followers you have can see them! So you need to follow LOTs of people so they follow you back! Also keep sharing at the parties too, be patient! Took me 3 weeks before my first sale!
dshelestak
I've seen the cute little notes...how do you get a note to list? I mean, how do you write the note and post a pic of it as if it's a listing? And, if you use pic collage app to post several bundled items, how do you get that pic up?
dshelestak
How do you share items to a party?
lilacrose
@dshelestak I use the notes app on my iphone or versagram it's also a free app! To upload to listing, just choose edit and then change photo!
lilacrose
@dshelestak to share to a party you hit the share button at the bottom of pics on your listing. The parties happen at 9, noon and 7pm!
dshelestak
But when you hit share, you have choices like followers, FaceBook, Twitter, etc. If I hit share to followers, won't it only show it to my followers--not to all in the party? And, Can you only share to a party once the party is happening?
lilacrose
@dshelestak yup you can only share to a party while its happening! There's one now, if it fits the criteria it will be shared!
dlp002
What is the difference between me sharing my own closet and other people sharing from my closet?
lilacrose
@dlp002 when others share, all Their followers are exposed to your listing! When you share at parties, people who are in the app during a party get to see it, otherwise only your followers get to see it
dlp002
Ok that makes sense but when I look through the feed I see other people's things , people that I'm not following and they're not following me either..
tammyk289
How do trades work?
lilacrose
@tammyk289 trades are actually not supported by Poshmark. But this is how many do it, they agree on the items for trade set the price at zero so each person only pays shipping. However, many users have gotten scammed this way. They'll send their item but the other person won't. In my opinion research the users closet to make sure they have done successful trades and sales in the past. Again though, if the trade goes wrong, Poshmark will not support you as a buyer or seller. So trade at your own risk pretty much!
_tierrap
How do I get followers? I just recently joined I though I had the hang of everything but I still can't get followers. No followers no sales
lilacrose
@_tierrap hi! If you scroll up, I've answered this question a few times, if you read thread you'll get some useful tips. Bottom line is, if you follow people, most people will follow back!
kbelle
Some users have a short description of their closet. How do you do that? Thanks!
lilacrose
@kbelle it's very cool! You can use an app like pic stitch or pic collage to feature some of the stuff you have in your closet and share that to parties! Just use the pic you created and make it one if your listings!
ponchygirl
Do you know what. NWT means?
lilacrose
@ponchygirl NWT= New with tags
BNWT = brand new with tags
BNWOT= brand new with out tags
BNIB = brand new in box
BNWOB = brand new without box
EUC = excellent used condition
You'll see these abbreviations a lot. Hope this helps!
tannyboo
Super helpful!!! Thanks.
tannyboo
Why are some seller against PayPal?
lilacrose
@tannyboo PayPal is against Poshmark policy. If you keep your transactions on Poshmark, all your transactions are protected. Many people have had bad transactions through PayPal where the seller doesn't send the item and Poshmark cannot help you because you took the transaction offline. Through Poshmark, the seller doesn't get paid till the buyer receives the item and makes sure it comes as described!
tannyboo
Thank you ever so much for your help.
lilacrose
@tannyboo my pleasure!
mikatnt
How can I get my listings seen? I'm new, n I've had my first listing up since yesterday..Any suggestions?
lilacrose
@mikatnt hi there! That's one of my most asked question! If you read the thread I've answered it a few times. The bottom line: share your closet to parties and to your followers, that's the only time it will be exposed! Don't have followers? Follow people and most of the time they'll follow you back! Scroll up and read my other answers for other tips! Hope this helps! Happy poshmarking!
dollyw
@lilacrose thx for offering to help I was wondering how and where do u find the " reserved" signed and how do u apply it
lilacrose
@dollyw the yellow reserved sign actually pops up when someone is buying the item, so it gives the time to complete the transaction without someone else trying to buy from under them. When the seller wants to reserve for a few hours or even days for someone, we usually just write in the description/title and change to price to something crazy high so no one else can buy till the buyer is ready. Then we change it back to price that was agreed upon. You do this just by editing the listing. The option to edit is on the top right of every listing! Hope that helps!
dollyw
@lilacrose thx a mill very helpful Nd lovely closet
tammyk289
@lilacrose thanks so much for this thread. I've learned a lot! I am new so this helps so much! I will stick to the Poshmark rules and stay protected. I am more of a non-risk taker lol!
tammyk289
@lilacrose one more quick question. Are the "bundle" offers I see Poshmark legit? Is that allowed?
lilacrose
@tammyk289 yup bundles are definitely allowed!!! 😁😊happy poshing! Will be here for any new questions that may come up!
lilacrose
@velvetowl you can forward the email to a trusted person to print out label for you, others I know forward to their work email and print at work lol
creimuel
Thanks, new as well. Just started following everyone! Hope that will bring some followers.
lilacrose
@creimuel follow as many people as you can! People same size as you, style as you etc etc! Used to follow 1000 people at a time! Just to get more followers!
dollface83
How do I know the things I'm buying are authentic or genuine?
lilacrose
@dollface83 ask lots of questions, request lots of pictures. There are many connoisseurs of high end designers on Poshmark who could help you too! Also look at their closets, are they reputable for selling high end merchandise, read threads and feedback. Also once you receive the item you have 72 hours to get it authenticated before releasing funds to the buyer. If its not authentic Poshmark will give you a refund, and a label to ship it back to the seller!
dollface83
Thank u!
lilacrose
@dollface83 anytime! Ask if you have anymore questions that may come up and happy poshing!
lilacrose
@christalb in the app go to the little camera icon that says "sell" it will prompt you to take photos, describe the item and then list it! Voila! Let me know if you have any other questions! Happy poshing! ☺
lilacrose
@christalb I see. You could always email support@poshmark.com to see if they have opened the app to droid users also
tammyt112
@lilacrose is there a phone number to reach Poshmark or just an email? I'm so upset I recently traded with another person and I had $14 in my redeemable account, instead of charging that account poshmark charged my bank account which had no funds in it, which lead me to get an overdraft fee of $35! I sent two emails today and hoping to hear back ASAP. Wish I could call and speak to someone but no number to be found. Aren't they not suppose to charge your bank if you have funds in poshmark? Thanks
lilacrose
@tammyt112 you r right. You can also try to contact them via the PM Fb or twitter. They've had accounting issues before so this sounds like that. Hope it gets resolved!
wassermanalison
Lilac... Another thing you should mention (and this is such a great service to new poshers) is to be honest in your listing and try to respond as promptly as possible when people ask questions and be courteous. Some people on here (as in the real world) are just not as polite as should be. We're all here to have fun, shop for great deals and maybe make a little moolah! 😉Good woman for doing this!!!!👏💃
lilacrose
@wassermanalison YUP! Preach it sister! Haha thanks Alison!
wassermanalison
Haha! Sad but true, right? 😘
tammyk289
@lilacrose Sorry if I am asking a question that has already been covered...but why don't the items that are sold or bundled go away?
lilacrose
@tammyk289 most sellers keep them in their closets as proof that they are a trustworthy seller and that you have conducted many transactions without problems! Also it serves as a good way to showcase the sellers style and collection of items!
tammyk289
@lilacrose That makes perfect sense! Thanks for the explanation. :)
lilacrose
@tammyk289 my pleasure!!! Keep em coming if you have anymore! 😁
rolandajohnson
how do I find a seller just by their name? I'm looking for Becky_352
rolandajohnson
I think I figured it out~ @becky_352
ponchygirl
@lilacrose THANKS it really help to translate all the abbreviations, the only one my grand babies thought me is OMG and LOL :)
lilacrose
@ponchygirl lol!!! You're so funny! It's my pleasure!
lilacrose
@rolandajohnson yup, you can tag them or you can do a search for user through your feed! Glad you figured it out! 😁
drnva
Hi! How can I post a note on here? I love the lil notes people post and would really like to do one. Ty for your help! :)
lilacrose
@hippiechick62 my pleasure! Let me know if you have any questions of your own! 😊
chamita36
If I buy two items from a different seller at the same time, will the shipping price be the same or will the price be different?
neatrepeat
Great advice! I started Friday and I'm so addicted! I never realized how much stuff I own that I don't wear or use! I have over 100 things listed already and made three sales :)
shelbj
@lilacrose When your sell an item through poshmark, when do you get paid?
lilacrose
@shelbj once someone buys an item for you your money goes to into your POshmArk account under my balance and it will be "pending". Then once buyer receives the package, checks it out, makes sure its as described, they accept it through the app and then your funds become "redeemable". You can then spend it on Poshmark, request a check or do direct deposit!
shelbj
@lilacrose Ok, thanks so much!!
lilacrose
@ramirezaf3 not a problem! You tag someone by putting @ in front of their name like this: @lilacrose or @ramirezaf3 then it should turn blue and if you click on it, it will take you to their closet. Hope it helps!
kparedes
@symphany527 here a bit of guidelines to help you better understand poshmark.👆👆

@kparedes thanks for the pointers! :)
kparedes
@symphany527 anytime!!!

@char73 awesome! Just ask if you have any other questions!!!
lilacrose
@tdenise48 awesome! So glad you're having a great experience on PM! It's so fun and addictive!
briannamarie
Is there a way for the money from pitches from my closet to go directly to my bank account ?
briannamarie
Purchases
shelbj
@lilacrose when you sell through PayPal is there an option for you to choose the shipping costs
lilacrose
@shelbj PayPal transactions are against Poshmark policy. They are not supported by Poshmark and they are not safe for both seller and buyer. I recommend keeping the transactions on PM.
grneyes8
PayPal is "safe" but frowned upon because you can get a lower price.
lilacrose
@grneyes8 Poshmark guarantees satisfaction, the seller doesn't get paid till the buyer receives the item and verifies that it is exactly as described. Poshmark protects both the buyer/seller that way. People who have used PayPal transactions have good and bad experiences. Really depends on if the seller/buyer is a trustworthy, honest person. Many will tell you that they have Not had a good experience when someone asks to take the transaction offline. PayPal per se is safe, but it is not supported by Poshmark.
grneyes8
PayPal guarantees as well. I've had a couple of times a few years ago that I didn't receive items I ordered off of eBay and PayPal got my money back for me.
And, I'm sorry, I'm not trying to be argumentative. I just believe if there's an option for a lower price it should be up to the buyer and seller.
lilacrose
@grneyes8 it can be but not on Poshmark. If people want to use PayPal they should use ebay. And the more you read threads on here you will find out how people are being scammed both seller and buyer with PayPal. When people use PayPal on Poshmark it really is unfair to the creators and Poshmark team. It's already a free and easy to use app. Your listings are exposed to so many users and I believe it's unfair to those who worked hard to get this app developed, started, and working for people to use it for exposure but not give their dues. Like using a store for their boutique and not giving their rent. Does that make sense? If people want to use PayPal they should use ebay. I think that's fair.
lilacrose
@briannamarie yes, once your funds become redeemable you can request a check or direct deposit your money to your bank account!
grneyes8
You're absolutely right, they do deserve credit, it's an awesome site. I have gotten some nice things from here! I just think they can get their name out just as much with advertising and not having costs so high.
It seems there are a lot of people on here with a lot of money...I don't happen to be one of them so I'm looking for a good deal!
Again, I don't want to be argumentative, it was just me stating my opinion. Sometimes I go overboard when I should zip it! Sorry, I really didn't mean to offend you.
lilacrose
@grneyes8 oh no definitely not offended! I appreciate your comments! Of course, these are my opinions, I'm just very enthusiastic about PM and loyal! Haha it's a great app and I've had so much success as a seller and so many great finds as a buyer!
grneyes8
Ok, good :-)
gjacks12
How do you follow someone? Is there a button you have to click on?
lilacrose
@gjacks12 hi! If you go to a person's closet, you will see a blue "follow" button at the top right corner! Just press that and you'll be following that person!
jdedomen
Hi I have been on for a week and already sold my first item. I am hooked! How do I respond directly to someone's question? I don't see a "reply" button I ensure they are seeing it in their "news". Tx!
lilacrose
@jdedomen how awesome!!! You can reply by tagging the person who asks the question! You just put an @ in front of their username like this @lilacrose or @jdedomen 😊 good Luck and happy poshing!
lilacrose
@jdedomen the news feed you see is only your own feed so if you reply without tagging there's no way for that person to get a notification!
angelalorainne
I don't understand how you send stuff out!
lilacrose
@angelalorainne hi! Once an item is purchased you will receive an email from Poshmark with a shipping label. You then package the item in an envelope or box (you can get some free from post office or any you find at home!) tape the label onto the package and drop it off at the mailbox!
monetc2
What are the rules for trades?
kparedes
@perstal read this post and comments here, it'll help you understand and ask away if u have any questions!
lilacrose
@monetc2 Poshmark doesn't actually support trades. So if you trade, it's at your own risk. Most people agree on the item(s) for trade then set price at zero so each will only pay for shipping. It's risky because you're essentially trusting that the other person will send their item. I don't recommend it. However, many on PM trade successfully. Just know who you're trading with and know what your risking if and when you decide to trade! Hope that helps!
lilacrose
@uponanorchid I know I wish I had something like to help me when I first started!!! But glad it is helpful
riley101
What is a Posh Party??
lilacrose
@riley101 a posh parties are "parties" in the app where users can share items from their closets and all those on the app at that time will be exposed to your listings! At 9-11am PST it's usually brand specific (today was roxy, billabong etc), at noon till 2pm it's item specific right now it's baubles or jewelry! Then at 7-9pm it's usually theme specific. You can usually share all brands and all kinds of items! Hope that helps!
riley101
Thank you for explaining @lilacrose. I understand much better now. Thanks!
lilacrose
@riley101 my pleasure! I'm here if you have any new questions!
lilacrose
@mccvic I use an app like pic collage and use pics of all the items in the bundle!
lilacrose
@mccvic my pleasure! Ask if you have any other questions!
lilacrose
@mccvic Lol! You're so funny! Once you save the collage picture onto your camera roll, you could create a new listing for the bundle or edit an existing one. When uploading the cover picture for the listing, you choose the file folder to access saved pics and choose the pic of the collage!
lilacrose
@mccvic there should be an option to save to camera roll in the app
lilacrose
@mccvic buy button for which app?
lilacrose
@mccvic lol! No not at all!!! Haha glad you figured it out!!! 😁
zulu97
@savana0426 Hey! This is good for newbies to poshmark!
rak0412
@lilacrose what if I can't get my printer to print? How do you get a label? We can't just get someone's address can we? Thanks in advance. I searched the FAQ on poshmark but couldn't find an answer to this
lilacrose
@rak0412 hi there! The easiest fix to this is to forward the email to someone who does have a printer and can print the label for you! The reason why you can't just ask someone's address is bcz the label provided has tracking so Poshmark and the buyer can track their package! If you do it the other way, you would have to pay for shipping and priority mail! It's just so much simpler the way Poshmark made it!
rak0412
Very helpful! Thank you
lilacrose
@rak0412 you're most welcome! I'm here for any other questions you might have!

@nicey21 if you see the "NWT" sign on a listing it means new with tags... There are other abbreviations like BNWOT brand new without tags or BNIB brand new in box etc. most sellers will tell you if it's new, like new (only used a few times) or previously loved.

@lilacrose Good afternoon, I first want to thank you for taking time out to answer questions. 😁😁😘😘😜🙏🙏🙏 So i only have a few and I'll make them quick and straight to the point. First, how are poshers invited to host parties, and what are the qualifications? Second, why is it that I've noticed some people with blogs are actually given followers? For some reason that doesn't seem ethical to the other ladies to work hard to obtain them? Third, what makes some recommended users? Thanks so much in advance 💃💃💃👯👯😁😁😘😘

I need to sell my stuff to get money to pay for tuition; said but true. How do I get more people to see my stuff? I don't really have time to be on here all the time; I have to study
itsannibelle
How do I get paid once someone purchases one of my listings?
lilacrose
@itsannibelle after someone has purchased an item, your funds will be "pending" so you package and mail the order, then once the buyer receives it and "accepts" the purchase through the app your funds will go from "pending" to "redeemable". Once they're redeemable you can spend it on Poshmark as credit or request a check or direct deposit into your bank account. Hope that helps!
lilacrose
@adriannalazarte hi there! To get more people to see your stuff, you need to a) get more followers and b) share your items to parties and when you can! When you share them to parties people at the parties get exposed to your listings, and when you share to your followers only your 70 followers get to see them, so you need more followers! It's only time consuming at first when you follow lots of people so they follow you back. Then you just share your listings periodically throughout the day! You'll get some sales soon!
themodernflip
@lilacrose None for me 😔😔😭😭😭😱😱
lilacrose
@mrsontherise hi there! To ask to be a host or if you have any party theme suggestions just email hello@poshmark.com or support@poshmark.com a lot of the people with blogs who have tons of followers are likely part of the Poshmark team! 😊But others also become suggested users. To become a suggested user what the team is usually looking for is a closet with a good variety of items all within the guidelines of posh, so you are pretty much setting an example for new poshers essentially! Good cover photos, trendy pieces, good track record of happy buyers etc
mariafinds_
I have a question 😀 can we use like flat rate boxes? @lilacrose or like flat rate envelopes? Or does it have to be just priority mail
lilacrose
@mariebaby15 yes you can! Any box that says priority mail on it. If it also says flat rate or regional rate just black it out using a sharpie!
mariafinds_
Okay thanks you sooo much! @lilacrose
lilacrose
@mariebaby15 my pleasure! Ask if you have any more questions! 😊

Hi@lilacrose I really appreciate your answering all of these questions, and I have read through all of them. However I still don't understand one thing -- how can I post
something I have written on my "Notes" onto my closet? I see all if these written postings on other people's closets, and while I can write something, how can I save it and post it onto my closet? Thanks so much!
jdedomen
@lilacrose hello! I wrote an ad to share as to wanting to push for bundle sales in my closet in notes on my phone, but I can't figure out how to save it as a picture to post. How do you do that? Tx so much! I am two weeks in- had one sale- and now things are so slow....
lilacrose
@jdedomen we usually take screen shots (a photo of your screen) of our notes, you do this by pressing your home button at the same time as your on/off button on your iPhone/iPad. Then you'll see your idevice flash. Then go to your camera roll, you'll see a picture of your note! Hope that helps!
lilacrose
@elkie1115 hi! Read my answer right above! Do a screen shot of your notes! Or use a free app like versagram!
jdedomen
@lilacrose hmm my iPhone powers off when I do that with no pic. I will keep trying- thanks!
lilacrose
@jdedomen you have to do it kinda fast-like snapping a photo ! Keep trying, you'll see! Good luck!
thenewera
@lilacrose first let me start by thanking you for your time.. You are awesom... Am a new posher so I will have many questions... I previously asked some of the host the questions am going to ask you but never got a response... That's why you are awesom... My first Q.. I understand how the buyer is protected but how about the seller I previously read a comment in how a seller sold an item and fully describe it with nothing to hide but once the buyer receive it she totally describe it as a bad item she got her money back and the seller never received her item... How are sellers protected against those buyers... Thanks
themodernflip
Good morning, please forgive me for not responding to you in a timely manner. I had no idea that's what they were looking for. I am totally looking forward to expanding my closet and becoming more known around the posh family. Why don't hosts respond to compliments or simple questions but, answer to questions about purchasing they're items? Also, when you're a part of the posh family why do they give you followers instead of letting you work for them like other posters? For some reason I find that a little disturbing. You are AWESOME!!!! Like seriously!! Thank you love.. @lilacrose

I want everything in your closet!!!

@tinalalinaa lol! Thanks!!! ☺
stephypea
I'm just wondering, I'm having a hard time finding the "Free" shipping boxes at the post office. They all have "flat rate" on them. Where can I find/get these free packaging things other than the website?
lilacrose
@stephypea you can use them still! Just black out with a sharpie where it says "flat rate" 😊 I order mine through the USPS app. They are regional rate but I just black it out!
stephypea
Lol omg. So first of all, I want to just show my appreciation for your dedication the people who ask you questions. Second, you are so smart. Lol!! Why didn't I think of that in the first place. :p genius. Thank you !
lilacrose
@stephypea aww thanks! 😊Great closet! Shared some cute stuff!
stephypea
Same to you! Thank you, you are so kind.
justfabulous32
@lilacrose hello what happens if s buyer does not sign off that they received the product,..and tracking confirms that they have.I hate to bother you after seeing all these messages,.. I did try to find the answer to poshmock didn't see it list it. Thank you Liz
lilacrose
@justfabulous32 hi there! Because the packages are tracked if the buyer does not accept the package, once it shows up as delivered, Poshmark will release your funds after 72 hours. Gives the buyer time to check out the item, make sure it's as described etc some new users don't know they have to accept it! So you could try messaging them asking if package arrived and order is to their liking!
lilacrose
@thenewera hi there! As long as you describe your items accurately, take good photos, disclose any imperfections, if a buyer files a complaint, they will see your listing, read your thread and most likely rule in your favor and release your funds! This is another reason why once a listing is sold you can't delete it!
justfabulous32
@lilacrose Thank you so much,. That is great I read a few stories where the buyer refused to sign off on the item,..just needed to how to handle it if this was to happen to me. Thanks again 😉
lilacrose
@justfabulous32 if there's an issue with the order Poshmark will let you know via email and that they'll look into the details of the transaction, but no news is usually good news sometimes you just have to be patient
justfabulous32
@lilacrose that is good to know, I agree the buyers should have time to inspect there product, Thank you Liz😊

elkie1115
Hi @lilacrose You have answered so many questions, and I really am so appreciative. However, two more for you:
1. When editing a listing, is there any way to delete the cover shot? Sometimes I realize that I should have used a different/better cover shot and want to substitute the one I have for another.
And
2. Is there any way to move around my listings? I would like to change the order of them around.
THANK YOU SO VERY VERY MUCH!
lilacrose
@elkie1115 hi there!!! 1. To change cover photo: hit edit on listing, then click on the cover photo. You'll see the little camera icon. Either snap a new photo or hit the file folder and select a different photo from camera roll! 2. To rearrange your listings: when you share an item, if you've noticed, the one you share will appear at the top of your closet. So to arrange, share the ones you want to appear last in your closet first and then the ones at the top will be the ones you share last. Hope that makes sense!
natezgirl83
@amandacarte, this could help if u have any ?'s about how this all works :)
arenee9
Not sure if this has been asked yet. When a big purchase has been made from your closet, what the best way to go about shipping the items when you know the package will be over 2lbs? I know PM offers the label for packages over 2lbs, but as the buyer to keep more of the profit...how should it be done? Ship in flat rate box? I've seen we're the seller created to listings and had the buyer pay for shipping twice. What would be the least expensive route to take as the buyer to profit more $$?
lilacrose
@arenee9 that's a really good question! Ever since the shipping changed from 3 to 2 lbs it definitely has been a Challenge for sellers. What I usually do is when I have heavy items for sale like boots or shoes and I know I have to upgrade label, I unfortunately don't discount the bundle or item as much, that way I can keep as much profit as I can. Sadly Poshmark doesn't have the flat rate box option, so that wouldn't work. The 2 transactions would work but then paying $6.99 more for the buyer than once is still more than upgrading the shipping. You should just add $2-3 to your bundle price to help cover the extra shipping fee. I think that's the best way!
arenee9
That helped...thanks once again!!!
lilacrose
@arenee9 yeah no prob! Truthfully I've had that same issue and its tough! Cz you wanna give a good deal but still make a profit! So yes, I think as long as you know your bottom line for what you need/want to make off the transaction and then add a few bucks to make up for upgrading the shipping. If I think of or find any other miracle solution I'll let you know! Haha
arenee9
I know this is a silly question: With purchasing a heavier weight label, the new label printed...will it be used in addition with the 2lb label or will be used instead of the 2lb label? First time having to purchase one...
lilacrose
@arenee9 it will be used in place of the other one that was originally sent! 😊 And pls keep em coming if you have any more ?s!
arenee9
Would it be fine to ship items in a box other than the priority mail boxes or is that what has to be used?
lilacrose
@arenee9 any boxes you have lying around the house work just fine too!
honibfly
Hi Hun how do uu block ppl?? Lol
lilacrose
@honibfly lol! Good question! And yes you definitely should know the answer in case you need to, which is unfortunate but sometimes necessary on here... So when you go to the closet of the person who is harassing you or unpleasant etc, at the top right corner of their closet you will see an arrow. Hit that, you will get the option to share their closet, report or block them. Hope that helps!
honibfly
Thanku Hun for the info and fast response
honibfly
I have another question now I can go to my nearest post office and get a box any size big or small for free, and uu were saying uu get urz through ups are they free there as well, and how do uu order them and what's the fee for order them???
lilacrose
@honibfly I use the USPS app, under the "get supplies" button. It's free to order and get them shipped! You can only order flat or regional rate, just use a sharpie or black marker to cross our where is says "flat rate" (or regional rate) on the box and you're good to go! All free!!!
honibfly
Wow I will try it, thanku
elkie1115
Hi @lilacrose Thx so much for all your previous help. I have another question. I had made up a bundle for someone and printed out my label. I went to the post office just to make sure that it was under the 2 lb limit, and it wasn't! It was too heavy!!! What should I do? I had already packed up the merchandise and affixed the label, but didnt mail it yet! How do I go about mailing the bundle? I would like to send it out ASAP! Thanks so much in advance for your help.
lilacrose
@elkie1115 go to "my sales" then go to the sale of this bundle. Then hit, "need new shipping label", then it will give you option for heavier weight, then you can add $1.99/lb. then Poshmark will email you a new label. Use that one instead of the one you already placed on box! Hope that helps!
elkie1115
Thanks! @lilacrose You are a real doll and a lifesaver!!! 👍
lilacrose
@nanabananaaa all the packages are tracked by Poshmark so the buyer can't say it hasn't arrived bcz they'll have tracked it to see where it is.
lilacrose
@nanabananaaa my pleasure! Let me know if you have any new questions!!! 😊
din1993
Hello how r u? I have a question about shipping and stuff so can u help me how do i do that and what kind of boxes i can use and more thank u very much😘
adavis1040
Hi, I'm new and started just to shop & get familiar as I prepare taxes for a living and am unable to post any items to sell until after the end of tax season. How can I post something to let fellow shoppers & closet owners know this?
Thank you for your help!
lilacrose
@adavis1040 hi there! You can make a listing using versagram a free app or write in your notes app! Just a brief message to let your followers now!
adavis1040
Thanks :-)
lilacrose
@din1993 you can get free boxes from post office or USPS.com or from USPS app. Use the priority mail ones. If it says regional rate or flat rate just black it out using a sharpie! If you don't have time to go there or since it takes a while to order free boxes, you can use any boxes you have at home!
lilacrose
@valeriekas1 hi there! You're not doing anything wrong! Sometimes it just takes time!!! What others do is share other people stuff, especially when they have more followers than you, most will share back! This will expose your listings to all their followers! Also list more things. Most people want to get a good deal from 1 closet and bundle to save and also to save on shipping! Also, follow more people! LOTS more people!!! I don't know if u have read this thread but I've previously mentioned that I've gone on following sprees where I've followed thousands in a night! Tedious at first but pays off when they follow back! Also engage the people who "like" your stuff! You don't need to be too aggressive and ask every single person if they're interested, but just say thanks and let them know you're there if they have any questions! Hope these tips help! Let me know if you have any other questions!
elkie1115
Hi @lilacrose I appreciate all your help, and I've have some success with Poshmark. Yesterday I thought of something that puzzles me----if Poshmark charges $4.99 for something that sells for $25 and up, but $6.99 for something that sells for less than $25, doesn't it make sense when I am pricing an item in the 25ish range, for me to price it @ $25 rather than, for instance, $23? I will make more money, but the purchaser will pay the same total amount! ($30)
lilacrose
@elkie1115 lol! Yup so that's why if someone tries to haggle a $30 item to $23 you just tell them them $25 since they'll pay the same amount but you will net more!
jdedomen
@lilacrose if I sell someone tow pairs of boots at a bundled price is it still ok for me to have them pay separate shipping on each pair? I already have to pay extra shipping as it is due to weight on the pair
lilacrose
@jdedomen yeah if the buyer is ok with that! It's really up to you and the buyer! Whatever works best! 😊
thenewera
How come when I share my items to a party I can't see them or when I share them to the feed....
lilacrose
@thenewera there are just too many people sharing items at the same time, millions of other users! So it's hard for our phones and Internet connections to catch up!
thenewera
Thank you... I like you, you are quick.
absolutleigh
I have another posher interested in a trade. How do I go about doing this??
lilacrose
@absolutleigh Poshmark does not support trades so if you trade it would be at your own risk! Although many trade successfully, there are just as many who have had a bad experience or worse been scammed! What happens is you both bundle the item or items in a listing set the price to zero or $1 and then only pay shipping. This is great if it works, but some poshers receive items which are not as described, dirty, wrong size etc and Poshmark can't refund you anything bcz you paid only shipping! Others will send their part of the trade but won't receive anything from the other party... Or I've heard receive just an empty box! So be cautious, know the value of your stuff, is it worth the risk of possibly losing? Also who are you trading with? Have you had transactions with this person before? Have they had other successful sales/trades before? Just do your research and remember Poshmark can't help you if something goes wrong! Hope that helps
absolutleigh
Thank you thank you thank you!
vansandtapers
Hi I'm a new user , come check out my closet and get it up and running please ! 😄
tokyoatl
OMG, I can't believe you are doing this!! So super nice! Thank you so much for helping us. I'm a month old here so I know what to do mostly however I have a few questions. 1. How did you get chosen " suggested seller"? 2. Why posh party has RSVP? What's the difference if you click before party or join without? 3. Could you please like or share my "dear poshmark, create favorite seller icon" post so PM will realize we need it bad. Ive send a request a while ago but ofcourse one voice doesnt mean anything. I don't want to like each seller's item so I can remember the seller. Sorry, long msg. Thank you! We 💞PM.
lilacrose
@tokyoatl hi! If you haven't already, read this thread, I've answered the one about being chosen as a suggested user! It pretty much boils down to: is your closet following all the PM guidelines? No men's clothing, replicas, or promoting use of PayPal. Are you an active user on PM? Do you have fun/cool/unique cover shots? If you think you got what it takes, doesn't hurt to write hello@poshmark.com with your suggestions/feedback/ideas etc!
lilacrose
@tokyoatl and about the RSVP thing, I think it serves just as a reminder. But truthfully I don't know! Haha
thenewera
May I ask you how long have you been poshing..
thenewera
Do you happen to know if we get some kind of form to do taxes from money earned as a seller here at posh. Am wondering..Ty
lilacrose
@thenewera I've been poshing since oct/nov of last year. There is no form! I did ask Poshmark about taxes, they told me just to consult an accountant!
thenewera
Thank you
thenewera
Are you part of the posh mark staff...
lilacrose
@thenewera lol no I'm not! Just a Poshmark fanatic! Haha 😄😆
jessenia305

@jessenia305 you definitely need to contact support about that transaction! I'm sorry to hear that it hasn't gone as planned, I hope it's resolved soon!
ashleigh_choo
Thank you for sharing! I appreciate it 😃
cgmunoz
Hey there! I just sold my first item! $5 pair of sandals. ;) SO naturally it brought up questions. If item weighs more than 2 lbs who pays extra shipping charges? And how much extra does that person pay per lb? 2nd question is what's the easiest way to determine weight on packages?? For example do you guesstimate weight? Do you go into post office and get it weighed then go back again to drop off? Do poshers own shipping scales?
lilacrose
@cgmunoz when you think a bundle is heavier than 2lbs, you go to "my sales" and then go to the sale which you suspect needs a label upgrade. Then you will see on the bottom, "need heavier label" and it will prompt you. The seller (so YOU in this case) would pay an extra $1.99/lb. it will come out of your earnings. You can guesstimate, that's what I do since I schedule pick ups using the USPS app. But most go to the post office where there packages are weighed.
cgmunoz
Sorry I'm long winded! Thank you!
lilacrose
@joyfularies I think that people use the emoji app for that. It's free and then enter that info on their profile where it says "city". Let me just remind you though that Poshmark policy does not allow PayPal so they've closes down some closets in the past for advertising use of PayPal.
lilacrose
@joyfularies through the app! They enter their cc info or the can use earnings from sales!
lilacrose
@joyfularies if you read a few comments up, there's a few useful tips about it. Also, trading is not supported by Poshmark either so let me reiterate again that you do this at your own risk!
sarbecca
How do you sell something from your closet?
lilacrose
@sarbecca there's a little camera icon, if you press that it will prompt you to take pictures of your items for sale. After you describe it, hit list!
lilacrose
@justval02 hi! If you go to your closet or the icon where it has your name, go to notifications and then turn off party notifications!
lilacrose
@justval02 yeah since it's quintessential to the app, they'll always show up on your feed! Just part of the platform! Do use them as a guide to see what you can list/share to the parties! Definitely key on being a successful seller on Poshmark!
sarbecca
How do you get paid for your stuff?
lorri44
Why would someone want to follow me? Or why would I follow them?
lilacrose
@lorri44 when you follow someone, every time you share your listings, they get to see it in their feed. So same goes for when they follow you. The more people you have following you the more people are exposed to your closet, which usually means more sales!!!! I follow people because they usually follow back! I also follow people who's closet style and sizes are similar to mine! They have a higher chance of liking your stuff and buying from you!
lilacrose
@sarbecca once you sell an item, you get a shipping label in your email. You package and mail the item. It's tracked by POshmark, then once it arrives and the buyer accepts it thru the app your funds go from pending to redeemable. You are free to spend it on Poshmark or request a check/direct deposit!
iixxtwistaxxii
Help a new posher out and help share some of my items I have a cute closet just need to get it out there! Please and thank you :)

@iixxtwistaxxii share & people usually share back, it's the most effective way to expose your closet as well as sharing to parties! Good luck!

@lilacrose help! I sold and shipped an item to a posher with an empty closet and they haven't confirmed my shipment and I know it got there by now. I think 3 weeks into posh and I have been scammed! How do I talk to someone at posh about this?
lilacrose
@jdedomen hi! Sometimes new poshers don't know to accept an order to release your funds! You should first off track the order to make sure it was delivered. Then you can write to the buyer and kindly ask, if the order was to their liking and expectation to accept the order. If no reply, Poshmark will release your funds after 72 hours of the package being delivered 😊 happens to me a lot too!
lilacrose
@trendytouch share and people (usually) share back! The best way to get your closet out there! Good luck!

I need help... Can you please check out my closet and advice me on what am doing wrong.. I had only one sale.. Can you tell me if my cover shots are ok or do i need to replace them.. I asked a posher advice and she said my cover shots have to much fluff and she might be right .. Can you please let me know...Ty
lilacrose
@thenewera you have a great closet! You're not doing anything wrong! You just need to list more and get more followers and share you items as often as you can! I promise, you'll make more sales soon!
thenewera
Thank you you have been of do much help you always reply thank u... What did you think of my cover shots should I loose the borders...
lilacrose
@thenewera it's up to you! You can see if you get more traffic in your closet without them! I find that people who model their clothing, use a mannequin, or lay out or style their clothing (like what you did), do well! Personally I like to focus on the item I'm selling. Take a good picture in natural light, makes for a really good shot! Hope that helps!
thenewera
Thanks a whole lot..
ashleym1134
What's the average time it takes to sell and item?
lilacrose
@ashleym1134 hmmm tough question! It really depends! Depends on what kind of items you have, are they highly sought after, are they popular brands, are they priced right, do you have a lot of items people can bundle in your closet, how many followers do you have, how often do you share your listings... Most people sell within the first 2-3 weeks of signing up if you are active on the app!
ashleym1134
Thanks a bunch!! And how does the whole shipping thing work??
lilacrose
@ashleym1134 hi, if you scroll up and read this thread I've answered that question already! Let me know if you have any other questions!

@lilacrose hey I've bought from u before and I recently made my first sale and requested direct deposit. They said it would come in on the 9th and my $ hasn't. Do you know if it takes way long? I emailed Poshmark and they haven't responded yet
lilacrose
@ckustura hi, sometimes it can take up to 5 business days depending on your bank. Usually doesn't take that long but sometimes it won't show up in my bank account for a while after I request it. Def bring it up to Poshmark support. I hope you get your earnings!

Hi there again! Have you guys ever experienced strange "follow" issues? It sometimes shows not following the person I know I've followed before!! Is it smart to stick with one device when I follow people? I've been clicking follow from my iPhone/iPad and my PC. There are many times that I start following people then I get follow back immediately but sometime I get zero response. I feel like maybe I'm UN-following them without knowing. Any advice!?
jdedomen
@lilacrose hello. When I follow people it isn't saving my follow no matter how many times I hit the follow button. How do I report this to posh?

@skoepfle I think the best thing to do is reason with potential buyers, obviously you don't want to turn them away, but at the same time you still want to make SOME profit! It's def hard to balance that fine line! I think you should just explain, your prices are as low as you'll go! Some people write on each listing: "price firm" etc, or you could create a banner like an ad listing (like this one) explaining, that your prices are low and reflect your last price because you want to give a good deal and so unfortunately you cannot further discount on bundles etc. you might be able to lure buyers by offering a free gift or by giving $2 items and below free for bundles of $15 and above... Something like that! Any kind of incentive! Obviously there's only one thing we love more than shopping and its shopping a sale!!! Hope that helps!
skoepfle
@lilacrose that does make sense! Thank you. I have been throwing in additional items like $2 stuff for people. I think what's hard is they pay for a bundle then the shipping is more expensive and it just gets a little complicated. Thank you for the advice. Do you love your skirt? I bet it is adorable on you and the Peter Pan top...that was no bueno for me lol
lilacrose
@skoepfle love the stuff I got from you! Need to lose some lbs to fit the skirt though!!! Ugh the last 10-12lbs from after having my son are thee worst and most stubborn! And the post baby pouch!!! UGH! 😱😖😩😫😤 😡 lol the top is perfect! Planning to wear it soon! I'll tag you in the picture i post when I wear it! I like to show my Poshmark finds!!!

wtsang
Hii! I'm about to make a sale and read that PM will show that there is a pending amount on my account and i wont receive it until i ship the item and then the buyer will note that they got it but wouldnt that give the buyer all the power? How do i make sure i get paid after i ship the item? couldnt the buyer get the item and simply say they didnt and get a refund? thanks!!
lilacrose
@wtsang all orders are tracked, so Poshmark can track your shipment! Once it arrives to buyer, they will remind buyer to "accept" your package and your funds will be released
wtsang
Oh perfect!! Thank you!!!! That helped ease my anxiety by a lot!

@taraneff Happy Shopping (and maybe selling, too)!!!
trendystep
What does it mean when you go to someone's closet and it says at the top that they have like 200 listing but nothing is shown? Has their account been suspended or something?
lilacrose
@trendystep most likely. They can close your closet if you use PayPal or sell replicas etc

panaprincesa
Hi. Thanks for this. It is helpful. I'd like your opinion. I feel that my prices are pretty fair, but I could be wrong. I've had a couple of people ask me to take $20 off a listing which I think is a bit outrageous. Do you think it's better to have price is firm within the listing or set my prices a little higher so people can negotiate down to something I'm comfortable with.
skoepfle
I have two questions for you my dear :) 1. How can I avoid wasting time figuring out shipping on a bundle when someone isn't a serious buyer? I have seen others that says serious inquires or they have posts...what do you advise? 2. How can I in the nicest way say that the price of the items are what they are regardless of a bundle? My items are already cheap and I don't get how or why people ask for a deeper discount 😭thank you in advance for your advice

Can you recommend a polite way to respond to a ridiculous lowball offer?
lilacrose
@moonbunnytoo *sigh* I know it can be extremely insulting when others do that, it's tempting to be like, "OMG are freaking serious?!" Buuuut, they are still potential buyers! So I usually say, I'm sorry but that's too low, thanks for looking. They'll either counter offer with something reasonable if they are TRULY serious about buying or move right along if not... You could always add to the description "price firm unless bundled" or something else to make it known there's not too much wiggle room for negotiation! Good luck!
moonbunnytoo
You mean i shouldn't counter with "why don't I pay YOU to take this expensive item for me?" Thanks for the advice :)
lilacrose
@moonbunnytoo LOL! If however some peoe are rude and offensive, just block them :) (go to their closet, top right corner theres an arrow, you can share, block or report user); you honestly don't want people like that shopping from you anyways!

I have another etiquette question for you dear wise one! How do you recommend responding to "what's the lowest??" I already told the potential buyer no to her pp request, and now she's bugging me with what's the lowest on posh?
lilacrose
@moonbunnytoo lol! One of those buyers... Wellllll, you can politely tell her that what you have listed is your current lowest and should you reduce it in the future you will tag her... Or you can say something like the price is firm but may be negotiable if bundled. Try that!!!
moonbunnytoo
Thanks again :) of course when i try to be reasonable, I never hear from them again *sigh* so it goes

ok, so i had posted a kate spade handbag a few days ago. when i search "kate spade bags" and am not logged in as anyone (ie, it would make sense if my own items were hidden from me), it doesnt appear in the search results. why not?
also, i keep getting invited to parties, but how do I get my items to appear in that party?
thanks in advance for the tips!
lilacrose
@sammdean hi there! Welcome to PM! Did you try typing some of your descriptions when you search for the bag? Like coral Kate spade? That might help it show up. Sometimes because there are sooooooo many Kate spade bags, your one may not show up. Also to share to parties, you go to the item you want to share. At the bottom of the picture you will see a "share" button. Share your items during the parties. The 9am is usually brand specific so you can only share them if they fit the brand, 12 noon is item specific (bags, shoes, dresses) and the 7pm is based on a theme but has no restrictions. Hope it helps!!!
debanddj
Hi....Why do people leave on a listing after it has sold?
lilacrose
@debanddj hi! Once a listing is sold, it cannot be taken off of your closet. If it is in item sold in a bundle, you could delete it if it wasn't the actual listing that the buyer bought. Most leave it in their closet however to show that they are good and trustworthy sellers.
debanddj
Oh ok thanks for the info. I assumed you could just edit it and delete.
eila
Great info! Sales are so slow right now, any advice? :) Thanks!!!
lilacrose
@eila I know, it's been slow for everyone!!! I've tried everything myself and still not as busy... I think it's a summer slump and it will pick up before summer ends! This means you can start listing fall stuff! Hope that helps! If you figure out a way let me know too!!!

@sinn_derella if you read this thread you might get a better idea!
sinn_derella
I just read this but do you have to add your card so that you can pay for stuff ? Is shipping free free for anything or are there hidden fees? What's up with the 20% that they keep ?
sinn_derella
@lilacrose
lilacrose
@sinn_derella you only need to add your credit/debit info if you're buying something. If your selling you don't need to add that info. Shipping is 6.99 for orders under $25 and 4.99 for orders over $25. The 20% they keep are fees to keep the app running! It's like the fees on eBay/PayPal. Seems steep but honestly, it's worth it because using this app is so easy!
sinn_derella
So on things more than 25? I have to pay 4.99?
sinn_derella

@sinn_derella yes 😊

@monroe_marilyn hi! Yes your credits will be automatically applied when you make a purchase. And poshmark doesn't allow using PayPal on the app, so be careful! Let me know if you have any other questions!
monroe_marilyn
So what can i use to pay? I dont have anything else
lilacrose
@monroe_marilyn when you hit "buy now" on an item you want, it will either use credits you have in your account from sales you made or it will prompt you to enter your credit or debit card info! It's just like buying something from a website

baileybuybacks
Hello! What is the best way to handle a return? The item does not fit and they would like to return or exchange for another item. Also how do you delete your items you have in your like file. Thanks
lilacrose
@baileybuybacks hi there! Unfortunately every sale is a final sale. So unless the item was not as described in the listing (different size, defective, wrong color), arrived damaged etc the buyer cannot return the item. Most just re-posh the item, meaning they resell it in their closets to try to recuperate the cost. To delete an item from you likes, just go to the item and "unlike" it 😊 hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions
baileybuybacks
Thank you soooooooo much for taking the time to answer my questions.

I'm so glad I found this feedback for questions. Poshmark has not responded so hopefully you can help if you have time. I do not own a scale so I'm back and fourth to the post office. 1. If I upgrade my shipping to 6 pounds and the PO tells me it's only 3 pounds. Can I go back into the system to cancel the upgrade of 6 pounds and make it 3 pounds? So now I can mail the box with the 3pound shipping label . I don't know if they will refund or not. 2. You just upgraded to a 5 pound shipping label but now you need a 6 pound label. Do you buy one pound or can you cancel the 5pound and purchase a 6 pound. Does this all make since ......... Sorry I'm just trying to figure upgrading shipping labels.
miss_monroe
@lilacrose " hey doll just wondering how do u ship big shoe boxes ? Do u just doubled the box " please help 🙈

Hello sorry if this has already been asked, but I got tired of scrolling lol and couldn't find it.. I am new to poshmark and I need to sell some things and want to list them, but I can't find the "sell" button anywhere.. idk if it's my internet or computer or what..the rest of the site works fine.. :( I went to the "guide to poshmark" and read how to list an item, but its just not there... at bottom of my closet.. nothing.ya know? is this fixable or do you know?
lilacrose
@bribee21 hi! You can only sell with the iPhone or iPad app. Using your pc, you can log on to your closet but you can't sell or buy
crystal_webb
@lilacrose hi I'm kinda new I've been on here for about 2 weeks yesterday I had two people congratulate me on my host pick for street party but I have no idea what that means?
bribee21
@lilacrose well i've bought something on here before though.. on this laptop..just it won't let me sell
lilacrose
@bribee21 yeah you can only sell if you have app 😔 sorry
lilacrose
@crystal_webb how awesome! Having an item be chosen as a "host pick" is kinda of a big deal! So every day at 7pm there's a posh party through the app where you can share your closet, it's hosted by different poshers and they get to pick their picks to share to the party which are in their own show room. this means their picks get maximum exposure to all users who are at the party that night and even after the party is over!
crystal_webb

Hi there! So I dropped off my item at the post office..but I used a priority mail large flat rate box because they didn't have boxes that say priority mail only.. and according to poshmark FAQ, you may not use boxes that are flat rate or express.. So what's going to happen? Is the shipping going to be affected? Thanks! Im getting paranoid here cause it's my first time shipping an item with poshnark. Thanks again!
lilacrose
@shoeloverxo hi!!! Chances are it will get to your buyer! I've only heard of a few cases where the box will come back to you! Next time you can just wrap the box in packaging paper or cover (I use duct tape or stickers or black out with sharpie pen) the area that says "flat rate" or "regional rate". You can also order the correct boxes on the USPS website! Hope that helps!
shoeloverxo
Oh okay! Thank you! What a huge relief for me. Lol. Okay I'll do that next time cause I already picked up a bunch of boxes saying flat rate on them. :) Thanks again, have a great evening. :)
shoeloverxo
Hi again! So I checked USPS tracking n entered the number then it gave me this.. Delivery status information is not available for your item via this web site. A return receipt after mailing may be available through your local Post Office. I had it shipped around 2 pm.. Should it already have been at least shipped out from the post office? Or is this just normal? Sorry I have too many questions. Lol. Thank you!

@shoeloverxo check it again tomorrow, may not show up right away!

lilacrose @bribee21 Hello! i'm having the same problem about not being able to find a sell button on the items i'm selling.. I understand posh is only made for iphones and ipads but will a sell button appear if i log on through an ipad or will it not show up at all how it is on a computer???
lilacrose
@marlem14 it will show up differently on your iPad. Having it on your PC is meant for only managing your account if you lose your iPhone/iPad
marlem14
@lilacrose thank you! i sold an item at a lower price so i wasn't sure how to tell my buyer that the buy now button wasnt showing up.
marlem14
@lilacrose still no sell button and I'm using an iPad :(
marlem14
@lilacrose sorry meant a buy now button
lilacrose
@marlem14 are you trying to buy or sell? Also are you in the actual app? You won't see a "buy now" button in your own closet. But try look in someone else's closet, if you are in the app, you should see it. If not then try contacting Poshmark support. Hope that helps
marlem14
@lilacrose I'm selling an item and I did not realize it until my buyer wanted to purchase the item. I am using the app that's why I'm so confused :/
lilacrose
@marlem14 are you trying to change the price of an item so your buyer can purchase it?
marlem14
@lilacrose no, it's purchasing the item. The buy now button isn't in the listing. Check out my closet and you'll see none of my items have a buy now button :(
lilacrose
@marlem14 I just checked and the "buy now" button is there. Are you sure your buyer has the app?
marlem14
@lilacrose really? I can't see it if I'm looking at my own closet. Maybe that's the problem that my buyer doesn't have the app.

What a savior you are! 😘 Question: is there any way to NOT share a listing to your feed when you update it? For example, I have my closet organized by section - so when a posher buys something, it goes to the top of my closet and I end up updating/editing every listing until it's in the right section. Or, when I add new items, I have to edit the listings so that they are moved to the right section - I don't like his PM shares this to the feed everytime I edit... I feel like I'm spamming my customers! But at the same time, I want my closet organized so it's easy to browse through! Thoughts? Thanks!! 😘 @lilacrose

is it rude, wrong to share your own listing? Ive only shared other sellers listings but when I looked up what happens when I share someone else's listing, poshmark FAQ keeps talking about your own listing. Im confused. Also, when I share other seller's listings, what exactly is happening? I know my followers get it but how? Is there a message like so and so is sharing a listing and here it is? I joined 3 parties and my button said on so I assumed my items that matched the party title were present but Ive never seen a single listing of my own at a party. Do I need to do something or is that on button that is just on by itself doing it? thank you!

? Re: following, from the advice I was given if you are followed by someone who does not follow Posh rules, aka-- trades, pp, carries bb clothes, lotions, potions, etc -- you know the rules -- well then you shouldn't follow them!! So I haven't on most! I have shared an item or two !! But what is the best advice -😳😳@keg90
lilacrose
@keg90 there's really no hard rule for this bcz not everyone who doesn't follow the rules to a T is a bad person! I think you just have to use your discretion and be cautious of people who might potentially try to scam you! Lol for me, I just follow great closets!
keg90
Well, yeah- if course not -- but hard to say at times, perhaps something PM could should monitor a bit better ?? Well thanks for crying to clear it up & sharing items 😊😊 do so appreciate that

melissabieber16
Just quick question how exactly do you trade ? Like who pays for the shipping or nobody pays for shipping? I just don't really get the shipping part ... Lmaooo
lilacrose
@jdel @melissabieber16 hi there! Trading is not supported by Poshmark so I don't recommend it. Different people trade in different ways but the common way is creating a listing for trade (specifying the items) and setting it at zero. Both you and other person pay the $6.99 shipping fee. A lot of people have been duped before bcz they will send their items but will get an empty box. Not saying not to do it or to do it, I'm just warning you to be very careful if you choose to. Again, though, if there are any issues with this, Poshmark cannot do anything to help you.
jdel
Thank you!!!
laurenaa
Hi! I'm really worried that the seller I'm buying from will make a bundle for me, but someone may buy the bundle before me. I've read that the seller can change the price to 1000 so no one will buy the items, but what if the seller changes it back when i want to purchase and coincidently someone buys it before me? How can I be sure that I will be the one to purchase and not someone else? Can the seller cancel the other buyer's purchase?
lilacrose
@laurenaa yes the buyer can cancel sale if someone else buys. Most people are good and will only sell to the person it was reserved for
rach8908
I keep getting items on my feed from people I'm not following, how can I avoid that?

@rach8908 they might be shared items by sellers you are following, and I don't think that can be avoided! Also, you may see items from suggested users that you automatically follow when you sign up for Poshmark. Hope that helps!

Hi :) I'm new and I'm starting to get worried cuz I've seen endless treads of people that don't want to be on this app anymore die to drama or bad sellers... I see a ton of people trading tho they seem to be happier with their "purchases" even party hosts seem to want to trade... Apparently posh refund policy makes it tough for buyers to return items :/ I think I'll stick with selling hopefully. Really need the extra cash for my mom.

Hi there! I was wondering if there is a way to search/filter items by how recently they were listed..? Thanks!
lilacrose
@feather_lady great question! I, sadly, am not 100% sure! I do know though, that when you do a search the items that show up first are ones that have recently been shared or updated or listed! So it kinda answers your question but kinda doesn't! Haha not sure if that helps!

rebecca82
Is there a way to sort your feed so "sold" items don't show, or something like newest listings first or by date posted?
lilacrose
@rebecca82 hi there!!! To put your sold items at the bottom of your closet, just share everything but the sold item. It gets pushed to the bottom. Was that your question?
rebecca82
no from the point of view of a buyer. I type in my search key words and feel like I scrolling though a bunch of already sold things. It is kind of frustrating but I don't see a way to sort listings other then through the keyword box
lilacrose
@rebecca82 oic! When you do a search for an item, hit the filter. Then you can use filter to show only unsold items. Also they appear as they are updated, newly listed or shared
rebecca82
oh thanks! I think you saved my life lol
lilacrose
@rebecca82 LOL! It's confusing at first but you'll get the hang of it!!! Happy poshing!

@hattiegriffiths the seller has 10 days to respond or send your order. Otherwise after that you can cancel your order. Sometimes users abandon their closets 😔
hattiegriffiths
Oh gotcha, thank you so much @lilacrose
lilacrose
@hattiegriffiths I hope she responds!!!

Could you tell me how traded work?

How long does it take poshmark to reply because i didn't like the item sent to me and i wanted to return it and so i sent a report i wanted to know when they will respond back to me

Thank you for this post...im new to poshmark...this was helpful★
lyndsienicole
when i buy something do i have to pay for shipping or do i just spend the inital price the closet put
?
lilacrose
@lyndsienicole shipping is not included in listed price, you pay for it when you check out. Hope that helps
lyndsienicole
@lilacrose it did thanks so much
cykyrath
Hi what is NWT?
lilacrose
@cykyrath it means "new with tags"
cykyrath
Ok! Thank you very much! 😊

How come some sellers have items listed but don't comment when an inquiry is made? It's frustrating when you see cute items and would like to purchase but the seller is MIA.
makstep14
How do I get people to buy my items? I share my items all the time in the posh parties.
cykyrath
why do people ask to pay over pay pal instead? does it save me money? Is paypal better for the seller? In what ways? Thank you!

How do I get selected as a host pick?
lilacrose
@rletwin hi there! Sometimes it helps if you share the hosts items to get them to notice items in your closet! I know that others tag the hosts in a listing that they think fits the theme of the party
lilacrose
@lovelyclothes you will get an alert through the Poshmark app and you will also get an email
katz2
@lilacrose Thanks for all this great info! I wish I had seen it when I started. If you don't mind, I will share this. On another note, when I ship I usually take my box to the post office (small town). They always give me a receipt for it with the tracking number, so I have a record of the shipment. They also have been nice when I used a flat rate box...marked out...& they would not accept it. They found another priority mail box for me and repackaged it with my label. Love the gals at my post office.

Thnx for looking out for us newbies
elisabeth_m
yeah I am new to this too. I bought and item that was updated five months ago but still for sale. I HOPE the seller will send it. A bit nervous! Hope she responds to my comments. I don;t understand why you can't contact seller directly???
saraheball89
Question!! If I purchase a designer bag from here but pay on paypal, and I find out the bag is fake, will my purchase be covered? I know posh will cover your purchase if it is fake, but will PayPal?
deanna_anders
@lilacrose I've been "poshing" since November & I'm now 1000000% addicted!! This place is dangerous! Lol. I had a quick question about "Host Picks"? What exactly are they & how does your item become one? Thanks :)

poshamy81
Hi, I swear I read this feed for an hour and didn't even make a dent so if this is redundant, apologies, but I haven't seen this question yet. Is there a way to organize your closet in a particular order and keep it that way or will it always rearrange the most recently shared item to the top, so if I'm sharing a clutch say, to the clutches and wallets party, but I want it to stay in a particular place in my closet do I need to strategically share my entire closet every time, part of it to my followers and part of it to the pertinent party in order to maintain order in my closet? That's what I've been doing so far but I only have like 10 things, I can't believe this is the best way for people with 100s of things in their closets and people seem to have their closets organized! Thanks for the feed! Your party was great, hope you enjoyed co-hosting!
poshamy81
Oooh, also, what's the deal with the "suggested user" thing...and don't you think PM should make it a little more official if they are naming people suggested users than those people just adding it to their location line in their profile? I'm very confused by that process...how did they find out they were one and what's the point if being one if it can't be verified as being from PM? Oh the comment letters I could write on how some things could be made simpler! And oh to be able to filter within parties, heaven! 🙏 Anyway :) Just asking! Oh, and I had a suggestion for safer "trades" that would still but PM supported...if both traders just priced their items down to $1 and bought the item or bundle of items in each other's closets then the purchases would each be protected under PM and still essentially a trade. Just a thought if you wanted to feel a little safer but trade pricier items!
momario
Why is Paypal considered a risk on PM?
juliema1974
Ok, dumb question I'm sure, but where does everyone find their new clothes for their closets? I can't imagine why I wouldn't just return a new item to the store if it didn't work for me! Are the majority of sellers wholesalers and shops? I saw that used items are ok to put up but are new items preferred?
jaimiekeiko
Sorry if this has already been asked, but... how do you organize your listed items on Poshmark? I can't figure it out. I'd like to organize everything by category. Thanks in advance for your help. :)
nina23c
I had someone that wanted to buy an item in my closet and they got an "unable to purchase" message. I emailed the support team and never heard back :/ Any suggestions?
mattelover
Could you just hit the buy now button without contacting the seller at all? Say if the seller isn't responding, and I buy the item.. How will the item get to me?

@stepontepsjoy hope this help:)

Sorry if this is a repeated queston, but im recently new to poshmark and looks like lots of fun, I also have lots of stuff I could sell. Unfortunately I do not have a printer, I have wifi connection with a iphone and an ipad to use to get on Poshmark. Is there any other way to sell items without having to print out a shipping label, or another possble way to do so? Thanks and I hope I hear back from you soon.

I have a question hun. I made a sale and before submitting my order it asked for my date of birth and i entered it correctly but it said to make the year the first thing but there was no way to do that. I had to cancel my fellow poshers order.. i was wondering what I could do?

Hi! Just got my first buyer, but I'm slightly worried about my package weighing more than 2 lbs. Hypothetically, if I ship it as is but it ends up being more than 2 lbs, what happens? Does it get sent back to me or does Poshmark fee my earnings/credit for the extra weight? If so, how much?

What do I do if Poshmark doesn't reply to my email?

Hi, I joined Poshmark pretty recently and I have made a few successfull sales with wonderful buyers. But today one of my highest priced items ($260 NWT) was purchased by a buyer that never commented at all and had just made her account. I'm shipping the item out on Monday but I feel unsettled because of that. And because some time ago my friend sold an authentic high priced item in NWT perfect condition but it was the buyer claimed it wasn't as described and won the case. The buyer sent back an empty box and was never heard from again. Is there something I can do to prevent problems and disputes? (I have taken many pictures of the item, tags, and I have a copy of the retail receipt as well)
rawrie
@lilacrose In addition to my question above, is it possible to add signature confirmation at the post office after I have printed out the label provided by Poshmark?
jdbeans
Do your sold listings automatically go to the bottom of your closet? or how can we move it there? Thanks!

@lilacrose I see closets that are organized with sections like jeans, shirts, skirts, etc... how do you organize your closet?

csaetern
@lilacrose hi! New to Posh and I just made a sale.. Buyer canceled her order so she could send through pp so will the shipping label still work?
lilacrose
@csaetern no it won't. You have to be very careful with transactions off of Poshmark. Many have gotten scammed that way
csaetern
@lilacrose aw :/ so even though she's paid me already and I've already printed the label that was e-mailed to me the label isn't going to work? Will the package be sent back? :/
lilacrose
@csaetern yes the label must be paid for, so if you cancelled it then it will be sent back

I'm sorry to bug you but you seem to know a lot about this app and I'm trying to delete a listing cause its no longer available..

@lilacrose what is the best way to send people more pictures? I also saw a listing where the seller said she would take a picture and tag someone.. How do I do that?

I recently sold an item the woman claims to have never got it but I tracked it and it says it was delivered on the 17th of this month. My balance for the item is still pending. What do I do?
aprater22
I made an offer and the seller accepted.....but the price listed is still the same. How do I just pay the agreed on price?
leethebee
My question is how do I list an item if I have multiple sizes to sell?
howefancy
I have purchased one item so far and the seller has asked me to "Accept" my order so she can be paid but I can't find where to do this. I looked in the "FAQs" and it said to go to my account then purchases then accept but there is no option to accept. The only 3 options are all problem related. :/
closetenvy2
When I share an item from my own closet, does it send it to the feed?
closetenvy2
@lisaq1975 It usually shows up in your News section within a few hours after the item is delivered. It will say something like, "Looks like you received your order! Please accept this item now. You click on that and it gives you the option.
howefancy
Apparently it only gives you a certain number of days to accept...the seller said she received her funds, so now I know. :) It was my first time buying so I didn't know I had to do that.

How do we know if one of our items was a host pick? Someone commented on one of my listings congratulating me but when I looked at the parties I shared to I didn't see any of my listings @lilacrose

Hi! Is it possible to rearrange the items in your closet? I recently sold a couple of items and they are floating in my closet but I want them at the bottom or I want to group the same types together so it's easier for a person to view. Is that possible?

@jamiebn you share every item but the sold ones and then they go to the bottom of your closet

@lilacrose So, what happens when you sell something and ship it, & the buyer says there is a problem with the item? Do you get your item back? What happens if they do not return the item? OR what happens if the buyer says they didnt get their item when it clearly says delivered? Is it really safe to sell on here?

@lilacrose hey un nice meeting u! I have a question! So what happens in the situation of.. Ok sellers is asking certain amount then i ask for better price, she says can't go any lower. Then few hrs later she agrees with someone to lower.... I come back and day that i would like to purchase at that price bc sell has not being met (w/other buyer) so she wont reply... I offer a lil more and she replies to other buyer and days she can purchase....😳... Here comes my concern... Someone else comes up ask if she can buy.. No response by seller... Then later on i check and that someone else purchased... Can seller cancel? Or what would happen? I know out of luck for that item.. Is clear it wont b for me...😩

Not sure if someone has already asked this, but I'm finding out that you can only sell using the app? This is a huge pain in the butt for me as all my photos are on my computer and I don't want to use my phone bc well it's small and annoying and my laptop is much easier. Is there a way around this?

dogsluv
what is feed and how does it work?
averyhp
Does it generally take a long time for items to sell?
lilacrose
@averyhp truly depends! Depends on how active you are on app (how often you share to followers, to parties), depends on the kinds of listings you have (brands, sizes etc)
babydolljewels
Thank you so much for taking the time to answer so many questions. You helped me a great deal. I had a client who ordered jewelry from me which was 925 Sterling Silver. I'm certain because of who I purchase from. After the Poshmark time limit expired, she said they weren't 925 and wanted her money back. I said I would return her money as soon as I got the jewelry back. She wouldn't return it but still wanted her money. She wouldn't stop lying on my posts. You explained how I could block her. She said I should just return her money and she should keep the jewelry. I have now blocked her, because of you. Thank you again so much. I have been selling for years and she is the first one I ever had problems with. I truly appreciate your help and your advice.

ashleyema
@lilacrose I'm fairly new to Poshmark, signed up in Feb, but have only really sorted out my closet and began really using the app this week. I have a couple of concerns or questions you may be able to help me with.
How does Poshmark share you items on fb automatically when the sharing feature is 'on'? I'm not seeing it in my fb thread...however when I select my item and manually share it to fb it appears on my thread...
Also, I have had a couple of friends say I am sending them screenshots when i'm not...is this a feature that the app has? I really don't want to be bombarding my friends with sms and such, I would like to only post on Poshmark or manually to my fb...how is it sending them sms screenshots? At what point is it doing this? and how? can I disable it?
Hope you can help me, bc I feel like i'm not 100% on where it is posting things and how...
Thanks! :)

glcarlson
@lilacrose quick question does Poshmark have any policy that if I sell an item to another posher and they re-sale again do they need to disclose they purchased it from a posher?
lilacrose
@glcarlson no there isn't anything on PM policy about that but most poshers will let you know if it's a reposh
glcarlson
@lilacrose thanks, I just notice that another posher was re-selling a purse I sold her and she was claiming to the buyer that she had owned it for 25 yrs. and paid far more when it was new then she was selling it to the buyer for. I thought that was deceitful since it was a bag I owned since the 80s. Shame on her.
lilacrose
@glcarlson how awful. Something like that has happened to me too. I sold it for an awesome deal and she was selling for 4x as much! Made me feel awful. You could always alert Poshmark of users like that because I think it's dishonest and hurts everyone!
amg12
@heyleebeth another thing how do I trade with someone?
amg12
Ok but do I change the price of the item? @heyleebeth
amg12
I was confused on how that works lol I get it now thank you! :) @heyleebeth
lilacrose
@amg12 Poshmark does not support trades. Read this thread and find out more information

@heyleebeth hi, Poshmark doesn't support trades so please don't promote it to new users who might not have a good experience trading of who might be victims to fraud or scam

What is a top 10% seller? I'm new to Poshmark.
medakee
I just received a msg from someone wanting to purchase one of my items. When she hit purchase, the reserved sign for this went on my item. Her CC wouldn't go through, so now I cannot do anything to this item so she can buy it or anyone else can purchase. What do I do. I cannot even edit it. Due to her hitting purchase and not following through.
lilacrose
@medakee It will reserve an item for about 30 mins. After someone hits the buy now button. That gives time for your buyer to enter credit card info. If the sale falls through, it should be available for sale again after that 30 min window
medakee
@lilacrose Thank you so much for this information🍂🍃🍁🌺
jesil1223
I had to file an "inquiry" thing against a fellow posher - the item was not as described. How long does it take for Poshmarks decision?
lilacrose
@jesil1223 usually about 48 hours
jesil1223
It's been over a week, maybe I'll send an email to check in 😊
lilacrose
@jesil1223 yeah it really depends on the situation. It can take longer... Did you mail the item back already? You should definitely check in with Poshmark support

I sent zen email - I haven't sent anything, they haven't advised their decision yet

@lilacrose Should I buy something on poshmark even if I can not contact the seller?
mia_pazza_vita
@lilacrose Hi there, I am curious why some of the prices seem so high. I have been buying consignment and secondhand for many years and the prices here seem high for used things. It seems that you can get an item for less by using eBay and in some cases going to Nordstrom.com. Just an observation I guess...
bellaruby_
Someone purchased one of my items, so now that I had money on poshmark I also wanted to make a purchase from another seller but my money is not showing in my credits instead it is showing as redeemable. Why is that? And what could I do?

Thank you so much for posting this! I have a question.. I received a message from a potential buyer and I couldn't answer her question right then and there because i was busy so i had to answer it later but now i cant find my messages. Help!

Hi there, um how do you buy something when it's set to 0$ for a trade? Please answer ASAP as I'm trying to buy something now. I am new to Poshmark :)
lilacrose
@elisabeth_9901 you can't set it to 0 anymore, it has to at least be $3. So you would have to pay $3 plus shipping. Just the new format of the app
elisabeth_9901
Thanks for responding. :) very helpful

Hi so I recently just joined like a few hours ago. I'm trying to share the item that I am selling to a poshparty, but it does not show up when I click share. Do I have to wait 24 hours before I can share it to a poshparty?
ryannie
Hi! There's a person who wants to buy an item from me. How do I declare that item as sold? And is that how I get my stamp to print out from PM?
ellaidland
I'm new to poshmark and when I try to buy something it says billing zip is invalid. But when I check it it's not wrong. I have also tried a different shipping address will you help me?

thanks for the advice! Need more followers? Follow me and I will follow back! :)

@lilacrose How do you give 'free shipping' to buyers? For instance a potential buyer told me she could do $115 for an item including shipping. Is this basically equivalent to her asking me to reduce my price to $110?

@lilacrose how do I edit my main post. I see all these cool posting with words, sells, an announcements. How do I make those?
cupcakee1
I purchased a item for $3 the following day the seller sends me a message that its not $3 why would it be listed for that price ? I also see this a lot where the price is crossed out and next to it is the same amount what does that mean?
weekend_beatnik
@jenfernyc In case you have any questions! :)
weekend_beatnik
@2sxy4ufashion I just noticed your question and I have some advice (if I'm not stepping on any toes here!). There are a lot of great photo apps you can use to create words, frames, etc in your main post (you make them in a different app, save to your photos and then add to your listing). I'll list some apps below that seem to be popular, but I'm sure there are a ton more!
A Beautiful Mess
Picfx
PicLab
Diptic
Vanillapen
I have found PoshMark's filters to be pretty awesome though! It's easy to get too carried away on the apps. Happy poshing!!
weekend_beatnik
@2sxy4ufashion Yuck, that all ran together. Let me try again with commas! A Beautiful Mess, Picfx, PickLab, Diptic, Vanillapen. Much better! ;)

I'm new to Posh, this thread has been super helpful! Thank you!! ❤️😘🙏

@autumnxreneee This should be a good start! Welcome to PoshMark!

@lilacrose hey doll! Once you request a check how long does it take to come in?
2sxy4ufashion
@lilacrose Thank you so much for your feed back I checked out all those apps but it seems they are great for color but not really word editing. I cant tell by the decription an I dont want to buy it untill I know its what im looking for. Is there one in particular that you perfer for word editing?

@lilacrose how do i trade?
acm1810
I may have missed it, but how do I organize my closet? I googled that phrase and you came up. Thank you for all your time and help!
cheerfuldancer
I would ❤️💚💜 to be able to order the items in my closet. Is there any way to do this without sharing? Thanks so much for this thread! 💋💋💋
sammie9
When someone likes my item does that mean do they want to buy it and how do you know if someone wants to buy my item?
lunarphase
Thank you for this! :)

What is this $2.99 Shipping for an hour and how could I offer this to a buyer?
johannajoones
I'm new to postmark. Can you tell me how I can thank someone for sharing my listings? I see it in my news feed, but am not sure how to actually respond and say thanks. :)
mvsabado
Is there any way to change the price after the buyer bought it?
lilacrose
@mvsabado well you can cancel the transaction. If the buyer agrees to buy it at a different price.
sweetz009
Hi @ lilacrose I was wondering do you know how to change the shipping rate for an item that a buyer bought from me? Instead of 4.99 I wanted it to be 2.99 I can't figure this out?
sweetz009
@lilacrose How do you give 'free shipping' to buyers? For instance a potential buyer told me she could do $65 for an item including shipping. Is this basically equivalent to her asking me to reduce my price ?

How do I see my followers?

How do u change the price of shipping to $ 2.99 ?? And is there a specific time when the shipping is $ 2.99
nawalberhan
I sold on sold one of my shoes about a month ago and I haven't gotten my money yet. I emailed poshmark and they said to click the balance button and I think redeem ur money but nothing happened when I pressed "balance" so what should I do?
prinaynay
Can I print out the shipping label on regular paper? And if so, How do I stick it on the box? Do I just tape it on there with tape?
ohsoautumnx
I have a few questions for when I DO make my first sale. 1. What type of box/envelope am I supposed to use? does it matter, or am I supposed to buy some boxes from the post office? 2. When I make a sale, I just print off the shipping label on regular paper, tape it on, then go drop it off at the post office and that's it?
gorgeous490
@lilacrose how do you trade on posh?
drmm10
Hello, I just posted a couple items from my phone and I'm trying to list a third, but when I select Sell, it prompts me to download the app. I've already done this or else I wouldn't have been able to post the first two items. What do I have to select in order for the camera to come back up?
drmm10
Also I took the pictures in color and didn't apply a filter but when they listed, the pix appeared in black and white. Help;)
nidrojmn
@lilacrose if I don't have a printer to print out shipping labels is there anything else I can do? or do I need a printer for that??
ecochiclove
Thanks for creating this!! I have 2 questions....how do u reorder your listings? I saw some who created a listing that said everything is sold beyong this point and thought that was cool. Would also be nice to group things together like all shorts, tanks, shoes etc... And then how are people making the clothes, hearts, and other cute icons on posh?? The way u do it on fb, like <3 for a heart doesn't work. Thanks so much!!!
ecochiclove
Just thought of one more...one of my pics is uploading sideways for some reason. Is there a way to rotate on posh?
ecochiclove
Omg sorry, more questions lol do u have any idea how to upload photos from drop box to posh on an ipad? On my phone it's an option but on my ipad it will only let me upload from my ipad camera roll and I can't even move the pics from db to the camera roll....ugh so annoying lol I I hope that's all my ?s....sorry and thank u!!!
sarahbearr
Honestly I feel that they don't want you using Pay to thePal cuz they lose out on money when you as Pay to the Pal dose not take a % of your money witch means people can bring there price . If you get scammed big deal sue them for more then the item was be smart and take down information . I've never heard any one say they got scammed but what ever. Pay to the Pal is a much better alternative to a regular credit card you sign up for it online to banks needed
sarahbearr
No banks **
lilacrose
@sarahbearr using any other form of payment on Poshmark is strictly not allowed and you will risk getting your closet closed. If you wish to use other forms of payment then you may not want to use Poshmark.
sarahbearr
Well wasn't trying to cause any arguments all I'm sayin is I'd rather not have to prove a 5 dollar item at 10 just to get my money's worth cuz posh takes so much of it . It makes me and many others not even want to use the stupid sight we are getting ripped off and so is every one else .. And what ever let me get kicked off I've already found better sights that don't take my earnings .. So if I ever start using pal on here I hope I do get kicked off
rhiannonx091
Hi guys- Today is my first day on Poshmark. I had an item listed to 55 but negotiated it to 45. I changed my listing to no longer for sale and added $0s to the price. How do I make sure my buyer gets the $45 price? Thanks !
thaonguyen1972
Omg
My first time on Posh
How can i reply custom message
Reply to that person only
ecochiclove
@thaonguyen1972 tag that person by adding the "@" symbol in front of their user name like I just did here to you. Other people will still be able to see your reply but it will pop up in their notifications that you replied to them.
ecochiclove
@drmm10 trying closing the app or restarting your phone, sometimes it just gets overloaded. And then for the black and white pic, maybe you accidentally brushed the black/white edit but didn't mean too? You could always try deleting it and just re uploading it again. Hope that works!

Question if you look at my closet one of my post says reserved and I'm trying to delete it how do I delete it ???
paige_xo
@lilacrose this is awesome and so helpful!!! I just have one question! If someone counteroffers you with a lower price and you accept how do you go about changing the price to the new agreed price? Do you just go in and edit the post to the new price?
cupcake4893
I bought a pair of shoes but they don't fit me, I want to return and get a refund will I get a full refund? and is a refund guaranteed? Do I need to pay for the shipping of the return?
christaluciana
@lilacrose Hi there! Do you know if there's a way to 'mass follow' people that follow you? I have a ton of new followers - do I have to click through to every single closet in order to follow them back? It's taking forever!! :) Thanks!
anderhan
^^^^ What I would like to know. It is going to take forever if now. LOL
lexiaragon
i bought an item and it was delivered but how do i "accept" the item?
macximara
@lilacrose .. Hi today it has been 7 days since I placed an order and the seller has not ship it. I am over it. I just want to cancel this order. However I do not see this option when I click on the item.. all I see is "send the seller a reminder".
emswizzle4
I made my listing but whenever I search "homecoming dress" it doesn't come up in the lists/pictures/search
lilacrose
@emswizzle4 share your item, to your followers and to parties. It will show up

I am going on vacation and would like to put my closet in storage for a week. How do I do that? Or indicate that I am gone?
ennmedina12
Okay, so I sold an item and am about to send it, but it says the balance is still pending... Why?

Hello. How can I contact a seller if it's not through one of her item pages?

@lilacrose great info Abbey. Thanks for this. It's great for newbies. 😊
bri_amato
I sent out an item someone purchased from me, but they didn't accept it yet. If they don't accept it after 3 days do they automatically get charged? Or what happens because I'm nervous I won't get paid after the item has already been shipped
ddel5462
How long does a person have to ship an item?
theburkegirls
SHIPPING ??? ~ If I purchase two separate items from the same seller but do not bundle will I be charged two separate shipping fees ?!?! Thanks.
lilacrose
@theburkegirls yes
bridgettb76
Wanting to delete an item in my closet. (Only have 1 and not selling them anymore?) I am sure it says what to do somewhere on this thread but this thread is HUGE!! Any tips??
mengertron
^ That. I was away from poshmark for quite awhile due to serious illness and actually just gave away many of my listings. Is there a way to delete a listing from my computer? I can only find a way to manage my profile. Thanks a ton for this thread!
4isuclones
How do I change the shipping rate? I want to reduced the shipping rate- thanks
naomii776
Im not sure if this was asked already but, some people have their closets separated like pants, dresses, shirts ect or like "beyond this point is sold" and all of the listings are sold after that... how do you do that?
