Welcome new poshers! A couple of starter tips, but please ask away!
When listing the items in your closet, make sure they are clean and ironed. Take good pics in well lit areas. Pay attention to what's in the background of the pics so potential buyers know what item is for sale in the listing. Make sure you describe your item as well as possible and take several photos with different views. Once posted, "Like" your listing. That starts the popularity of your item in the feed. Then, be sure to share your closet items several times a day and to the parties.
rozsingh
Next tip: how to gain followers...there are several initial actions you can take to increase your followers. Under the Feed button, you can search for people, every hour Suggested Users change, so be sure to Follow them. You can also join Following Games like the one in my closet. There are many others you can search for. Then you can also follow people by those following others. Many poshers will follow you back when you follow them. The other effective method I've found has been to join a share group, like the one @justfabulous32 @vanessa_03 and I now host. Closets that follow all posh rules are eligible to participate and your items are shared to the followers of those participating in the share group that night. BTW if someone shares an item of yours, it's courteous to share back. 💕

@dhaq Hi, I've helped a couple of other newbies recently, so I decided to start a listing to begin answering questions that way rather than just answering what I wanted to know when I started LOL. @cevansstrong @fredos What do you ladies think? What questions do you have or should be posted here so that others can benefit?
rozsingh
@ces0716 here's the resource listing I literally just started. Please feel free to ask any question, any at all 😊
rozsingh
@fredos you ABSOLUTELY want to share every item to the parties! Well, every item that qualifies. So if it's a Coach party, you can only share Coach brand items, but the parties in the evenings are for every posh allowed items, so share everything posh allowed from your closet there, plus if you can, share to your followers at least 3 times a day. That gets your items in front of different followers, fills their feed and gets you more likes on your items.
vanessa_03
To add to that if you are sharing someone else's closet you should ONLY share to your followers NOT parties. The reason for this is an item can only be shared to a party once so if you share it to the party and the person doesn't know and shares her closet to the party it's a waste of shares, they don't show up anywhere. @rozsingh @fredos
rozsingh
@vanessa_03 interesting factoid! I did not know that. Excellent!! Thank you, ButteR😘
rozsingh
@cevansstrong hi Cat, so let me unravel that undocumented mystery. So here's what I've learned. Poshers seek out those hosting parties. In advance of the parties (far in advance as you can), reach to the host, let them know you have a closet that complies with all posh rules and you'd like them to take a look for a possible host pick and then share the heck out of their closet listings. Another option is rather than asking directly, just share their listings like crazy. That will still get their attention. Just know, they are being inundated by tons of other poshers like yourself so their response may be slow. In addition, you may not know if they selected your item until the night of the party. You have to share your items in to the party and wait to see if any of your items were selected. If one is, then whoopee! You bask in the honor and glory. Many people will congratulate you. Be on the ready to respond to them and share back! That's all there is to it.
rozsingh
@cevansstrong don't forget to advertise your HP on your listing!

@cevansstrong Hi Cat, Here are the types of things you can do at parties...1. Always share your closet to the party (the night time party allows all categories), daytime parties only allow certain designers or categories. 2. Shop the party. There are different tabs at the top, so you can check out different showrooms. 3. Check out the host picks. Here's another way to see what's hot. You can have your "party themed" congratulatory message for those who have items selected as host picks. You can either leave them that message in their new HP item or share that HP item or both. Sharing those items is also a good way to get your closet items exposure since those poshers will visit your closet and typically select an item to share to their followers too! 4. If in your browsing you see poshers you aren't following yet, you can follow them. Clearly, they are active poshers. The party at night runs from 10pm ET til midnight. Those activities should keep you pretty busy if you choose to do them all LOL. Have fun and "see" you at the party tonight 🎉💃🎉💃🎉

@lauraruiz1116 Congratulations on your sale! Be sure to print and use the shipping label provided to you. You can use either a box you have already or one provided by USPS. I try to use their free priority mail boxes since they are included in what posh negotiated with the postal service. The suggestion is to use tissue paper to wrap the item nicely and include a little thank you note as well. After all, we are "posh" ladies. With that said, the USPS allows customers to order boxes online so in the future, you can order boxes and have a ready stock of them at home already ready for your next sale. I've got different sizes and even a couple different envelope siEs, since you just never know which item is next to catch someone's interest. I also keep bubble wrap or other box stuffing around so the item (if fragile in any way won't get bumped around or damaged in transit). Since posh keeps closet statistics on a variety of things, one being shipping speed, I'd make haste to your post office to get your box. Take your item, tape, tissue paper, note, and any box stuffing you need so you can wrap it right there and drop it off in one trip. Well done on your first sale and that's your first step on your way to becoming a suggested user! 😃💕

@spkikasp hi Erika, Welcome to Posh! I'm glad to help! Yes, as long as the item hasn't sold, you can edit the listing or delete it. In fact, I had a couple of belts I had listed but lost a little weight and they fit again, so I deleted the listings. But, once an item has sold, you can no longer edit or delete it. I've not been on posh a very long time, however, I've seen items finally sell in closets a year later, so you may want to be patient. Perhaps your buyer hasn't found you yet. I bought some beautiful designer items that had been in closets a year and I've only been on posh since July. So, I'd say either patience, drop your price for rapid sale and share, share, share or delete and donate 😃 . Happy poshing!💃

A question I've not been asked yet is...how do you get queued up to host a party? I've not yet had the honor bestowed upon me but believe I'm in the process. Here's the blog that has the information to answer your question and aid you in getting your closet positioned for readiness: http://bit.ly/1Aewckm
rozsingh
@spkikasp Hi Erika, I just checked your shoes. I believe the USPS has a priority mail box that's slightly larger than a shoe box and will fit both your shoes and the original shoe box. Your shoes are certainly less weight than the 5 lbs that the USPS and posh have negotiated for the $4.99 shipping rate. In anticipation of the sale of your shoes, I'd recommend being prepared. Measure the dimensions of the shoe box and look at the USPS website. There you can order free priority mail supplies...the right sized box you need and it's free. Yes, I said FREE! So, go ahead and order whatever size boxes you need for your items so you have them on hand. On the same site, you can even arrange a package pick up if your box won't fit in your mailbox and you don't have time or are not conveniently close to a post office drop off location. They will come to you. The USPS makes it very easy for customers, especially ones who are thinking ahead like you are and wanting to be prepared.

@jennybeck Hi Jenny, Welcome to posh! Here's a resource listing that will help you with some questions you will start having here on posh. Be sure to Like ❤️ it so you can refer back to it when questions occur to you. posh is a big place and I know I've had a tough time navigating back to closets unless I put them into my Likes, now I'm going to switch to the Share Group Conversation listing to answer your specific questions for that group. Again, welcome to posh and I hope you start to love it as much as I do! 💃💗💕
rozsingh
@jennybeck changed my mind and decided to answer your share questions here since other newcomers could benefit.
Sharing is an important element to getting your listings noticed. Sharing is also the preferred way that other poshers wish to be thanked when they share listings from your closet. Here's how it works. You gain followers. When you share your listings, those listings get posted to the Newsfeed of your followers. So the more followers you have, the more people can potentially see your listings. By sharing listings of others to your followers, they in turn will thank you for sharing their listings by sharing back to their followers. When that happens, it generates interest and you gain more followers. It was recommended to me that I share my own listings at least 3 times a day plus to any parties.
Now, you can also share your closet to Facebook, Twitter, you can text listings or email them in SMS or do any of that for others. If you find a listing that a family member or friend may be interested in, you could share it to them.
There are groups of poshers that have formed share groups. They are organized at set times of the day or evening and anyone who's closet follows all posh rules can participate. I am a member of a group that shares every evening of the week. New members sign up on the new member listing in each of the 3 closets that host our share group...@justfabulous32 hosts Sunday, Monday and Friday evenings, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings are hosted out of @vanessa_03 closet and I host Saturday evenings from my closet. When you share during the share group, you share listings from the closets that have signed up in the share group for that night and that the share group host has notified you as approved to share from. Then you share THEIR listings. Their listings will share to your followers and while that's happening, they will be sharing your listings to their followers, so your listings will go to he News feeds of hundreds of thousands of poshers. It's a very powerful mechanism for marketing your closet. I would recommend it. Most of the poshers in our share group have attained Suggested User status and have or are about to host parties as a result of this share group activity.

@jennybeck no, no. It's not like an email message. Go to the bottom of the app where it says Feed. When you look at listings closely there, you'll see people share there own and you'll also see where listings are shared by others. So when you Share, your own listings or those you share of others will go to the Feed. Go ahead...try it, hit refresh on your Feed and scroll to see your listing 😊 then go do your whole closet! Go, Jenny Go! 👯👯
rozsingh
@jennybeck When a party is going on, be sure to share the all listings that qualify of yours to that. At night, all closet listings should be shared to the party!
rozsingh
@jennybeck no problem haha! From your iPad or phone, you should be able to see the Feed at the bottom strip across the bottom of the app, to the left of where you create the sell listing. That's where you can see what all has been shared by those you're following. It's constantly on the move. Only during parties will you have a choice to share to your followers or to the party for each listing. I do know that functionality is limited on a Pc or laptop or online by comparison to the iPad and phone apps, perhaps that's why you're not seeing the proper Feed menu

@jennybeck Hi, I can't check the Feed. There are poshers constantly sharing listings. I have 28,000 I'm following in my feed and have no ability to check wither your items were shared. What I will say is that I'm positive your items were shared to the Feed of those that are following you. But it's important you share often. That's why you need to share at least 3 times a day.

@rozsingh I have a question about people selling items that are against Poshmark rules--should I report them? I don't want to be perceived as a jerk or tattle tale. Recently I've gone to other people's closets to share their stuff as a thanks for sharing my stuff and I see A LOT of clothing for men, boys, little girls, infants, etc., to the point that I can't find something within Poshmark rules to share.
rozsingh
@twinkle1076 once you become a Suggested User, you can lose that status if you share from a closet that doesn't follow posh rules. If you see a closet that doesn't follow rules, you have options...report the listings, block the closet or just not share anything from that closet.

Hi, I have a quick question, I was reading some of the Q&A's and just want to clarify if I am understanding the answer. When I share to my followers, their listing goes to the feed, and that feed are all of my followers? Thanks, I am still new at this and learn something new everyday!💕😊

@jenniann5246 Hi And welcome to posh! Yes, that's correct. When you share a listing, unless it's during a party, it is shared to your followers into the Feed area.

What a great listing to help new poshers! It can definitely be confusing at first. @rozsingh just wanted to add to your advice about using the free USPS boxes, most of them say Flat Rate. Those boxes are NOT compatible with the posh shipping label. Your package might get sent back. Make sure to get a PRIORITY mail box or envelop and make sure it doesn't say Flat Rate anywhere on the box. 😊💜🌻💝
rozsingh
@ericascloset87 Thank you for your compliment and the additional clarification! I've gotten lucky with the small flat rate boxes. My local PO workers often tell me I'm overpaying in postage (Poshmark postage) when using that little flat rate box because the item weight is way lighter than what's allowed in that box and they keep trying to save me $ rather than trying to get me to change boxes LOL They are just nice people and trying to save me a buck but you're right. If they wanted to be jerkies, they could make me change boxes to just say Priority Mail.

@marsala @rozsingh is there someone on here to watch out for?? I saw something mentioned by @marsala abt a man?? Thnks
luxyluv
I have a question for you... I know of a user that is selling fakes as 100% auth and actually debating abt low ball offers, but her pics are on a drop ship website for like $2.99 (ex. She's selling chanel earrings from this site where they are 2.99 and charging like 3-400 for them, and when ppl have askd for addtl pics, she says they are at her warehouse-that's just 1 example if many in her page) I have reported the listings to posh but they are still up. Any advise?? I just feel bad for all of the likes she has on it and that people are showing interest in buying thinking they are real!! Don't really know who else to ask abt this... Thanks!!
rozsingh
@luxyluv @marsala yes, it's ok for men to shop on posh. It's not ok for them to harass or stalk women. Block their closet & report them if that happens. Let us know & we'll spread the word like wildfire! 💥⚡️
rozsingh
@luxyluv when fakes are being sold and you're sure, report the listing & report the user. Do not let them know you're doing so. Let Poshmark handle the rest. The other option is to remark the item is fake, quickly report the laying, then block their closet. But the risk is if they know you did that, they can try and retaliate. You can additionally write an email to report the closet.
luxyluv
Thanks for the helpful info!! And as far as the man goes (lol) I thot maybe one of u knew of one that to be aware of. Thanks again :)
rozsingh
@luxyluv yes, perhaps @marsala remembers his tag but I don't at this point. I'd suspect posh took care of him long ago already. With 24 hours we had all his Followers informed and a ton of other poshers on alert. Like I said...wildfire!

Ok so for shipping can I just walk in their with my items and the lable and they'll give me a box to ship in? I have 5 things to ship tomorrow and I only have boxes for two of them so will they give me three there? (Sorry I'm kind of clueless I've never even been in a post office before lol)
rozsingh
@mandiii_marieee Hi, Congrats on the sales! Your PO has the Priority boxes available in their lobby area. If you're unsure about which ones to get, ask for assistance. The Priority boxes are FREE. Be sure to bring your Posh labels with you as well as tape to tape the boxes shut. The PO may or may not tape them with their tape, so just be prepared. Once you have the boxes and turn over your packages, be sure to grab a few boxes for future shipments. You can also order more online at USPS.com and they will deliver them to your door. Heck you can even schedule a pick u at your house! 💌🎁

Hi im new to poshmark and my first transaction was a trade sent my item out the person received it and I never received my after going through that I was told never to trade. My question is this person scammed over 10 people on her page how do you get her to stop?
rozsingh
@122406 I would write on her listings that she doesn't follow thru on her trades. But make sure you have the text cut and saved to paste quickly from listing to listing because if she's online at the time, she will block you. You can also let others know who are looking at doing transactions with her to avoid her and tell some suggested users so they can spread the word. I don't trade because I don't know people well enough to trust them. I'm sorry you got burned. That stinks.

Dumb question...I see everyone post tiny little pictures of things next to everything posted. How do they do that?

Like the smiley face you posted after your post or hearts etc
rozsingh
@scunningham2 Ah, got it! If you're on a laptop or PC, you'd have to use an emoticon keyboard but I've not used one personally. Since you've started your closet, if you have an iPhone or iPad, upgrade to the new iOS (operating system) and the emoticon keyboard is the smilie button between the number button and microphone button on the lower left of your Apple keyboard. Alternatively, you can use an emoticon app from your phone's AppStore if you aren't using Apple. Hope that helps.

I'm kinda new, I'm a buyer, and I have been burned ( no pun intended), by people sending me items smelling of smoke, I get sooo angry, cause I forgot to ask, are they smokers , but you would think people would have common sense?, is there a rule against this, and any tips getting smoke smell out of a leather purse,,and watch.
rozsingh
@cdj69 Hi, welcome to posh and I can't stand smoke either! I'm a frequent migraine sufferer so any smells can be a trigger for me. Unfortunately, there's no rule that I know of that states the items have to be kept in a smoke-free environment unfortunately. The best thing to remove odor is ozone but you may have difficulty finding any at a reasonable cost since ozone machines are expensive and those with them want to charge $$$$$! Way more than I suspect you paid for the handbag. So here's what I'd do and had to do with a chinchilla hat I bought. I stuck it in the sunshine. Wait for an abundantly sun filled day (no precipitation in sight!) and put your items outside. Between the sun and fresh are, it will reduce the scent. You'll have to do this repeatedly given the types of objects since you can't wash them. You're gonna think I'm crazy but use a very generous portion of baking soda inside and outside your handbag. Dump it in and on the outside and let it sit overnight. Repeat If you've ever had a smelly frig., a cup of baking soda will eliminate the odor overnight. That too will help. That's all I can think of without harming either the watch or bag.
rozsingh
@ksay The handbags and any other items listed on posh must comply with posh rules. No fake, inspired or replica designer items are allowed. Perhaps your bags were identified as not legitimate designer items and those visiting your closet reported the listings and posh removed those listings. If they are not true, from the designer store items, you aren't to sell them on posh. If they are legitimate, send an email to posh with the store receipt and I'm sure they will let you keep each listing with that proof of purchase.

@jennybeck Hi, sorry, I've not been as responsive as I normally am. This week I've been up to my eyeballs in work and haven't been keeping up very well on posh. I'm glad you've had a chance to practice your sharing skills 😊. Tomorrow morning I'll send out instructions on how our sharer group works. For now, you can sign up on the listing that s got the red curtain. That's for new members. I'll come check your closet to make sure there are no rule breaking items in there. Once you've got the all clear, then you can sign up onto the Saturday night sign up sheet or any other evening if there are other evenings that suit you better. I'm thrilled that you'd like to come try our share group. It's a fun group of ladies. You'll get a chance to meet a lot of poshers this way, gain followers, your listings will gain exposure to hundreds of thousands of followers and many of these women have become party hosts and suggested users largely because of being in a share group. Okay, be looking for my message tomorrow morning some time. Have a great night! ☺️💐💕

Bras NWT are definitely allowed but if the tags have been cut off, they are NOT allowed. The same holds true for bathing suits....tops or bottoms. No tags, not allowed. For barrettes, hair ands etc. yes they are also allowed but hair extensions are NOT. If you have odd fashion items that aren't explicitly identified on the Poshmark Rules, you can always seek guidance from them by sending them an email through the Poshmark Support Center. They can give you definitive answers for any unusual fashion items and can provide that "official" word. I hope that helps. If you have any other questions in the future, don't hesitate ask. If you'd like to gather more followers and have your listings reach more poshers that just your current follower list, let me know. There are share groups formed on posh that are effective at growing followers and exposing your listings to hundreds of thousands of poshers simultaneously. If that's of interest, LMK. In the mean time, have a nice night and happy poshing! 💃👠💕

Thank You Roz for getting back to me and for all your help, I will be back to check out the share group. I am still trying to find my way around, and I would like to work on my closet a little more, but I will be back to try out the share group. Thank you for your kindness :)

@rozsingh Hello I am new to Posh, and I am loving it so far but I need some mentoring so I'm so happy that I found your website! I want to follow all of the Posh rules, but I am not sure how to know if a closet follows the posh rules unless they state it in their closet. I have added followers and shared items that may not follow the rules because I didn't know. Can you please give me some suggestions on what I should do? Also, you have so much helpful advice I wish I would have found it on day 1! I just need to to read through your posts more carefully. I want to join groups that follow posh rules as the best way to build my closet. Any thoughts would be really appreciated! Laura 😄💕💕💕

@msu0712 Hi Laura, I actually created this listing since I, like you, wished I had read something like this on day 1. It would have saved me from bumbling around LOL. My understanding is that as a Suggested User, Poshmark doesn't want SUs to share listings from closets that don't follow posh rules. I've got a list of types of prohibited items in my listings related to the share group I belong to. The 2nd page of any one of those listings has a list of the prohibited items. Sometimes you'll start sharing in a closet and you find after having shared some listings you see something not allowed. When that's happened to me, just stop and leave that closet. I believe that's the best you can do. As for the signage that people put that say they follow all posh rules...where that may generally keep you safe, I've experienced where I've seen that message, but still have seen bad items lurking. I just try to keep my eyes peeled. As for addressing your other question about joining groups to advance your closet, I mentioned I belong to a share group. There are share groups in posh where a group of poshers band together and share each other's listings to their followers. That increases followers, likes and I've noticed that my sales have gone up due to the increased exposure. Some share groups require the closets that participate to be posh rule abiding, while others do not, so you may need to inquire and ask directly. Some have more rigid participation rules than others, but there are choices out there. I personally like flexibility. Sometimes life gets in the way and if I need to start a little early or a little late I want the flexibility to be able to do that. Anyway, I hope I answered your questions. Happy poshing! 💃💕🎉

rozsingh
@jennybeck Hi, sorry for my delayed response. To rearrange your listings either use the edit button or share them to your followers. In doing so, the most recent listing edited or shared becomes the upper left listing in your closet. That's how you can reorder. 😊
lauras_boutique
@rozsingh thanks so much for responding! It was very helpful!😀 I have a few more questions. 1. Should I not share any items from a closet if i find it has some items that don't meet posh rules, even if i'm not sharing those items? 2. when i post a new item do i share/like it or do my followers see it automatically? 3. how do i move an item to the top and can i do something to make it stay there, for example if i have a meet the owner spot? 4. do i respond when someone likes an item do people think that is rude? finally i would like to join your group but i dont know if i need more items? sorry to have so many questions but i appreciate your help very much! 😀💕💕💕🌺
rozsingh
@msu0712 hi, before I became a suggested user, I would share items out of closets that met posh rules but avoided the rule breaking items. Now that I'm an SU, I'm not taking any chances that Poshmark mgmt would revoke that privilege so if I see the closet has non-compliant items, I won't share. Period. 2. When you create a new item for sale, when you list it, the system automatically shares it with your followers in their Feed. Like ❤️ all your listings. That starts the popularity of your item. I usually remove my Like once the count goes above 14. 3. See response to another posher above this reply. 4. This is a personal preference. I used to thank each person for every single Like ❤️, and I'd share an item from their closet. Now, only if they have a question about the item or a compliment, do I respond. I'm not even able to keep up on returning shares for those that are visiting my closet so I'm cutting back since I just can't do it all. Finally, you're closet is looking really good. You've been busy LOL. Our share group hosts post sign up sheets in their closets and also have new member listings for new members to sign up their first to have their closet inspected to make sure it complies with posh rules. If you're interested, @vanessa_03 hosts Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday from her closet, @justfabulous32 hosts Sunday, Monday and Friday and I host Saturday night. Hope to see you there! Ciao Bella! 💃💕🌟

I wish there was a way to make people stop asking to "trade"... It's so annoying 😭 I wish autocorrect would take over when someone types trade and changes it to "your closet sucks, go home".. Haha! Arg 😤
rozsingh
@hopethornton Hi, since I added no trades to each listing, it's cut down tremendously on the number of posher's asking about that. Look at how I did it and try that. I hope that helps a little.

@rozsingh - I'm making a sign for my closet. Just to clarify - trading counts as an outside transaction - which is against PM rules, correct?
🐨💕
rozsingh
@_koala__closet_ Hi Dee, Trading IS allowed on posh but is done at the risk of the trader. Unless you know who you're reading with, you're at risk of just plain losing your item. I've only done a couple of trades and those were to lower the cost of an item I was purchasing. I then sent the item, so the risk was all on the person I was buying from and they trusted me enough that I was actually going to send the item. I won't item trade outright. Period. There are too many scammers looking to steal and I'm not going to be that kind of victim! Trading is a personal choice and NOT prohibited by Poshmark.
_koala__closet_
@rozsingh - Thank you for the clarification. Very helpful. I am working from your rules list for sharing parties.
Then I'm making a my closet preferences (no trades, etc.) 🐨💕

@ragzandrichez the answer to your trading question, I believe is answered below in my resource listing for new poshers.

@findingmychi Did you read my resource listing? I didn't find Poshmark's FAQs overly enlightening either. That's why I started this...to help others after I bumbled along when I first started.
kzack7125
Hi, I do not have a closet on here but have been a buyer for almost a year now. I have followers ( which surprised me as I have no closet to follow) so after reading so much about how important sharing seems to be to those that do have closets I have just started sharing things. After sharing multiples from individual closets it occurred to me that may not be "following Posh rules". I don't want to share multiple items from someone's closet if they are only supposed to have 1 ( or some other designated number) item posted in the party. I've read that items are only to be posted once and see above that if someone shares an item that the seller or someone else has already shared that it would be a "wasted share". I guess I don't really care if my shares are wasted it's more that I don't want to be non compliant causing problems for someone. So my question is, if I am being unclear...is it ok to share others closets to parties I f appropriate to the party theme? Are there limits on the number of items that you can share from any 1 individual closet or the number of items I as an individual should be sharing to a given party? Thanks, and btw if I'm not supposed to and it reflects back to the closet owner in some neg. way, your closet was one I shared multiple things from, sorry!
rozsingh
@kzack7125 Hi Kim, I saw that you were sharing my items but assumed you were sharing them to your followers since that's what most poshers do. They choose to share to their followers. I don't believe there is any posher in their right mind that would reject anyone from sharing their items to their followers. It increases exposure to a broader audience and increases the likelihood of a sale. I have seen it that Suggested Users won't return shares to those closets that don't comply with posh rules (meaning the closet is selling items on the prohibited list). I have a summary of those items under the share group listings, second photo. Since you have no items for sale, that's not a problem although since I saw you sharing I did try to reciprocate but couldn't because you had no items for me to share back to my followers. I do very much appreciate you browsing my closet, liking so many of my items and also taking the time to share items to tonight's party. You took your personal time to share my listings and I do very much appreciate that. Anytime you feel the urge to share someone's closet to a party, feel free to come my direction 😉 LOL I am joking. But in all seriousness, you're kind and considerate to do that for people and I personally thank you for doing that for me! 🌹💕😘
kzack7125
Thanks for your very prompt reply. I just figure since I'm spending so much time shopping on here & sharing seems to be so important to everyone with a closet that it's not really any work for me to share the things I see that I appreciate. I just want to clarify because it wasn't specifically addressed... There are no limits on the number of items that should be shared (to a party) from any given closet correct? I understand that if a particular item has already been shared it wouldn't appear twice and that's ok , I can waste a few shares,lol. Thanks again. I love Posh. My husband, not so much, I think. I am an a horrible insomniac and spend those wee hrs of the morning shopping. A lot more entertaining then late night cable. It prob doesn't do much in the way of helping me sleep quite honestly, it's easy to wile away the hours here. Someday I'll have to find the time to go through my own things and have a closet of my own but for today life's a bit too busy already. Thanks for your kindness and taking the time to respond. You have a beautiful closet. I'm trying to restrain myself from purchasing for a little while however and closets like your make that much more difficult! Take care!
rozsingh
@kzack7125 I fully understand and appreciate! It's because of posh that I don't think I'll ever shop in a department store for myself ever again. Thank you for the compliment on my closet. That makes me blush. I'm thrilled you like it so much. I must say though that I'm aiming to be as good a temptress as I possibly can be ;) Happy poshing to you and it was nice having the opportunity meeting you (virtually). :)
hazeldreams
Thank you so much for fall owing me and sharing items from my closet. I think the only area where I need more unstained is how parties work. Also I loose track of who is who so easily on here lol. I try to share love to everyone :)
rozsingh
@hazeldreams which aspect of parties would you like to understand more about? How to share to them? How to get noticed for a host pick? How to become a co-host? How sharing works into parties. There are different aspects of parties that I could provide details on.
hazeldreams
@rozsingh one of my coats was picked for a host pick which I was extremely greatful for and made sure to the the cohost but I couldn't figure out how to attend the party and share other host pics and congradulations other people. I do enjoy v sharing closets I'm very addicted to posh already lol.
rozsingh
@hazeldreams ah, got it. From your iPad, go to the bottom and pick Shop. From there, select Party. Pick the party you'd like to attend if there isn't one going on at the time. At the top, there are different Showrooms from Host Picks, to NWT, to Designers. Once you pick one, it will ask you if you want to enter. Once your there, you can go through all the listings, open each one and comment to congratulate each person if you wish or you can just share from that level. No, it doesn't take long to become addicted to posh! LOL. I've become a huge fan 😊. Hope that helps.
hazeldreams
@rozsingh ah I see, thank you so much for helping me out. So hopefully if I know a party is going on I can find it in that list if I search for the theme. Go it :) thanks again and I look forward to the share party on Monday night.

maliayoung
I have a question .... I have been posting sales all week lowering my prices and everything still nobody wants to purchase I have a lot of likes and shares but still nobody is biting..... What am I doing wrong?? I wash everything right before I take the pictures I try to have good lighting but my house has like hardly any lighting at all....I share my closet all day long like crazy HELP!!!!
rozsingh
@maliayoung I can't tell you what to do but I could make suggestions or tell you what I did. If you know you have a lighting issue, buy a lamp to light your items for photographing or more economically, take them outside & photograph them during morning or evening light, which is best for photography. Midday light is harsh.
Next, to increase your followers, join a share group. That gets your items exposed to hundreds of thousands of people once you have good photos.
I also bought a mannequin to display my clothes since some items look better on a body than hanger. You can find some fairly cheaply that only have a front that hang.
It sounds counter-intuitive, but share items from other people's closets to your followers. Many will return the shares. That's posh etiquette to say thank you.
Now with all that, you're competing with over a million others also selling their stuff. What makes your items stand out over others? That's the question we are all competing to answer. I hope this helps.
maliayoung
Thank you my issue is I don't have a lot. Of money to get all that especially a manikin I've tried looking for some that were cheap enough for my budget but idk I haven't found anything yet
rozsingh
@maliayoung You can always model the items and take selfies. Be creative. There are mannequins for $15 but you have to look for them. Or you could have a friend model the items while you snap the shots.
maliayoung
Good idea thank you so much😘 just curious where would I be able to find a manikin for that cheap??
rozsingh
@maliayoung I've seen them here & ebay but not always that inexpensive. With Black Friday sales coming on posh, find one, put a like on it now and when the sales days hit next weekend, jump on the discounts and discounted shipping too! 😊
maliayoung
Oooo wonderful idea thank you😊
fernand741
Thank you so much this was very helpful!
dejaknowles
thanks slot! I do have a question :
How does a bundle sale work,?
rozsingh
@dejaknowles ah, good one! Glad to get a new question! The awesome bundle sale!!! That's when someone wants to buy more than 1 item in your closet. Usually you give them a discount % when that occurs. The % amount is up to you. Here's what I do when someone wants a bundle...I create a brand new listing with all the items pictured and described. Make sure you still describe them well and if you can't because there are so many items, refer back to the original listings. Mark the original listings "Not for Sale" and tell your buyer their bundle is ready for purchase. Retain the original listings of the items after the item sells. You never know when you may have to refer back to them for some reason, especially if your buyer blows off the bundle purchase, which can happen. At least if that does happen, you can easily recover by marking your originals back "for sale" and delete the bundle listing very quickly. So there you have it. The bundle sale. Gotta love it when it happens! It's flattering! 👠💃💕
dorissmith
Hi. How do I post different things ? Example my closet is a work in progress. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
rozsingh
@dorissmith Hi Doris, Different people prefer different apps. I use a variety of apps depending upon the circumstance. I have an iPad and iPhone I use for editing, let me start with that so my apps are for that operating system...I use SquareSize to make my photos square if the image is too large for the posh opening. I use InstaCollage or YourMoments for laying text over a photo or wallpaper background like I did for this listing. I have other apps I've downloaded but I use them infrequently compared to these I just mentioned. Im sure if you went to a closet that uses special framing or something fancy you like, just ask them what they use and I'm sure they'll tell you. It's no trade secret. I just prefer, in general, to keep it simple. I hope that helps. 😊
dorissmith
Thank you for your information.

@adriennesweatt Hi, This resource listing should help you a bit. By typing the at sign before the user name, that tags the person and that puts a message into their News so they can read it. You can share your closet and email your friends and family from posh. In the upper right corner of your app (from your closet, you'll see a box with an arrow pointing up). If you click that it says Share My Closet. When you click that not brings up a menu that you can email friends as one option. That's where you can announce to your friends & family all the goodies listed in your Poshmark closet 😊
tamara74
I may have missed if someone asked this already but, when you create a listing for someone, how do you do that? Thanks!
rozsingh
@tamara74 Hi Tamara, You can do what I have done when creating a bundle by creating a top photo with an item or items and then typing who the bundle or item is for. You can see a couple of recent examples in the bottom of my closet (where I have my sold items). You can use any of the editing apps mentioned in other comments in this listing to put the text on the photo for the listing.
tamara74
AH HA! Thank You! I appreciate your time to explain this process.
rozsingh
@tamara74 my pleasure! If you have questions that haven't been asked, be sure to post them here so others can benefit or if you know of other newcomers to posh, be sure to tag them here so they too can keep from bumbling along like I did LOL.
asoutherngirl
Thank you for your willingness to help those of us who are getting started. I sold on ebay for years and just happened upon posh a couple of months ago. I LOVE it so far! I'm still learning but am so excited with the prospect that I could actually make some money doing this. (I'm at home due to health issues) My question to you is: where do you purchase your merchandise? I see many poshers who have new name brand items and I'm wondering do you purchase online? Directly from the specific company? Or just shop clearance and resell? Thanks for your help! ♡♡♡♡
rozsingh
@asoutherngirl hi Alice, each person has different sources for their items. That's the one piece of information people hold close. To be frank, this is a great community to a point, but make no mistake, people are in business and every closet is competing for those buying. I, too, asked this question of seasoned successful poshers and received a similar answer understandably. That day my nativity wrt posh nirvana changed LOL 🌟

@rozsingh Darling I have a question. Awhile back I purchased a Coach wristlet type handbag. It was listed as authentic. When I received I realized there was no leather tag stitched inside. Does it mean it is a fake? Or do some smaller bags like wristlet and wallets not have those inside? Please help. I don't want to post it for sale if its fake and would like to let the seller know how I feel. Its an absolute gorgeous item and I never even used it. Thank you darling! Im so happy you have this post. I was wondering where I was going to ask this and didn't want to write it under any of your item listing.
rozsingh
@bellalize The only wristlet I have bought and immediately sold the same day it arrived was the silver glitter one which wasn't leather as the main material. I never even took it out of the plastic manufacturer's plastic, so it was absolutely untouched. The person that's bought and sold leather wristlet's is Butter @vanessa_03. She can answer your question above. For the mini skinny wallets I've just bought, I don't believe there's a leather tag in them from Coach. Butter can you answer this question?
bellalize
@rozsingh Thank you darling so very much. @vanessa_03 If you could help id be very grateful. The bag isnt leather its regular material but there is no tag inside with the serial numbers as in other Coach bags. If you need me to send you a pic I can. I just really need to post items and make money for my girls Christmas. Was hoping to post it but dont want to if its not authentic
rozsingh
@bellalize Hi Yolanda, not all Coach bags have serial #s. I've owned several (authentic - bought them myself) that don't have them but the bags will always have the imprint stamped inside. Wallets, no.
vanessa_03
@bellalize 90% of Coach wristlets and wallets don't have the tag with the serial number only pocketbooks have it. Now they're starting to not even put serial numbers on that leather tag they're actually hiding them on small little plastic tags inside of the bag.
islaisle
Hi was wondering if you could answer a question. I am quite new to poshmark and have made first sale. as i picked up my box for shipping my i learned from the postmaster my prepaid shipping was not going to be enough to cover the shipping costs even though my oackave it's under five pounds is this a normal occurence i did not have my shipping label with me when i was at postoffice so i couldn't get a better explanation seems like my earnings would be eaten uo in shipping costs if the postmaster is correct
islaisle
Oh my goodness...sorry for the typos.
rozsingh
@islaisle You may have picked up the incorrect box from the USPS. You need to be careful which Priority Mail box you select. Do NOT use the Flat Rate Boxes that are marked that way. I would suggest taking all your packaging materials with you and your item to the post office. Take the label inside and have the postal clerk tell you which boxes are the ones to use. If the item is less than 5 lbs, use the regular Priority Mail boxes, but the post office can point them out to you. Use the correct box and the postage will be enough with what Poshmark has negotiated with the USPS for commercial shipping. :)
rozsingh
@islaisle BTW Congratulations on your first sale!
islaisle
Thank you for answering and for the congrats. I was so excited and then totally discouraged at the postoffice. I just happened to be out when I learned of my sale so thought I would get a headstart by getting the box. I think I have the correct box but will verify tomorrow I was wondering if there was a negotiated shipping rate so I appreciate your thorough answer.

kdritto
@rozsingh hi, just wondering what to do when u purchase something and then the seller never responds. No shipping and no response to the comments. Is there any course of action other than canceling the order? Thanks!!
rozsingh
@kdritto Hi Kristina, I have had that happen to me as well. In one case, the seller's closet was abandoned and didn't close it after she left posh for good. I learned to communicate with sellers first. In the other case, the woman communicated well prior to the sale & never shipped the item. After 10 days, I cancelled the order and didn't look back. Some people are just jerks and don't know how to give customer service! Suggest you cancel your order and move forward. You can ask why they never shipped so others are alerted but don't leave disparaging comments since this could reflect poorly upon you and could affect you if you aim to host a party or want to be a Suggested User. 😊
cmc514
Hi, Thank you for supplying a post which allows users to get more information! I have read this one, the new members sign up sheet, and the other sharing group posts in your closet. I have tried to read through ALL the comments but there are SO many and I'm just getting confused now 😜. Could you please clarify (or let me know if I have it correct) regarding how I can become more involved, like with a share group. I never heard of that until now. I should post under new members, be screened for following all rules (which I always try to do!) and if approved, meet at a certain time to share closets? Or join a share discussion at 7pm one of the 6 nights per week?
For the last month and a half I have become very active on posh, listing new items daily, following people, and sharing like crazy. I share so many other peoples listings every night, so if I can become part of a group and do this, I thought even better! I have a month off from grad school, so I wanted to become as active as possible and build a great network while I have more time each day. I'd love to hear your feedback. Thank you in advance!

@rozsingh Hi Roz, I am not new, as you already know, but I do have a question for you. Is there any way to get more than 4 photos on a listing? You only get 4 places to add photos, but I have noticed that some people have more than 4 photos listed and I don't know how they do it. Thanks so much for any help you can give me and happy holidays😘😘. The "other" Roz
rozsingh
@angiecharles Here's the resource listing I just mentioned. Hopefully there's a nugget here that you didn't know. Read through the comments as you have time. :)
rozsingh
@laskinr Hi Roz, There are apps available that you can use to combine pics together so that you can show more than just 4. Another option is to refer to a 2nd listing to show additional photos and you just mark it "Not for Sale" and just say additional photos in the the description. The apps I use most frequently are: I use SquareSize to make sure my photos fit the listing and are square if I've edited them to make them narrow (this app can add a background to make the photo square etc.), I primarily use InstaCollage. That app allows you to include one, two up to 16 photos in 1 photo's area. You can add text etc., frame etc. If you read above comments where I list other apps but other than the basic editing in Photos app and these two, I'm typically all set. :) Happy holidays!

If not where should she go to put it in? She said she didn't see a place for it on sign up. Th as nd so much.
daisymae061874
Ok. Very cool. I am new and I am a stickler to rules in general in life. I don't own any replicas or knockoffs I don't believe in that as I believe that takes away from the real designers as they work so hard to make their beautiful items. I am super friendly and great people person. I love fashion I know the latest trends well I think I do but I'm still learning of course and I want to get in on the parties and be a part of the Posh community I'm certainly not a brown noser, never was, and never will be. Lol. I pretty much have all this down to a T but would love to be more involved with the right girls on here and be a positive helpful part of the community!!!

@hazeldreams Hi Brianna, here's the trick,...she has to sign up using the app either on her phone or iPad. If she used a computer. I made the same mistake with a friend of mine from work. She used her computer where there's no place to enter the code. She contacted Poshmark the very next day and they wouldn't honor it and told her it can only be done through the app. If your friend hasn't loaded her closet, I'd suggest she delete her closet and start a closet through the app. So far, I've given out my code to 10 people and none have been successful. Perhaps you and your friend will have better luck! LOL.

Hey, just to let ya know that I'm already following you. I tried to find my name on ur list of followers but I didn't see it. On my end it says I'm following you.😊
rozsingh
@texaswag Posh only lets you see the last 1000 Followers. I was on Find People a few days ago and gained over 1000 followers, so you would have slipped below the most recent 1000 follower threshold. 😊 I am following you as well.
renaeg
@rozsingh hi I'm new to posh have barely purchased 4 items on here but I am wanting to sell and am curious about the shipping label posh provides for example if a heavy bag were to be sold and gets the $3 label from posh does the seller have to cover the aditional weight fee to the post office or does the posh label cover the total weight of the package being sent?
rozsingh
@renaeg Hi, welcome to posh! The label will cover up to a 5 lb package which is a good sized handbag plus box and any packing material. I doubt your package would be over that amount. But in the case that it goes over the 5lb limit, the additional cost is borne by the seller. You can buy extra postage thru Poshmark at a substantially discounted rate I believe. I've sold large handbags and have not even gotten close to the 5 lb limit. So I think you'll be ok. I wish you many sales 👍💕
renaeg
@rozsingh thank u so much that helped me so much b cuz I didn't know the weight limit was 5 lbs 😀
mwooding
@rozsingh this is amazingly helpful! Thank you! I have a couple questions whenever you have time. First, do you think the number of listings in a closet has bearing on a sale? (Will potential buyers pass me up because I haven't listed / sold enough things?). Second... Can you add me to your share group? 😁 last... Does my closet / do my photos look decent? Should I make any changes to improve my chances at sales? I really appreciate you putting all this together. I was just googling tricks for selling on posh the other day and came up extremely empty. Haha.
pammysthreads
@rozsingh your a wonderful sharer... THANKS! Have you found a day or time is best to put items on sale? Sales have never worked for me... Thank you!
rozsingh
@pammysthreads Hi, I NEVER run sales. I will work with individuals on price for those items not firm price (which are already at the bottom) but won't run sales. That probably doesn't answer your question but that's my approach. 😊 I wish you many sales in 2015!
pammysthreads
@rozsingh Thanks for answering that... I have stopped doing sales too! Happy 2015❤️🎉🎉
katielady1982
@rozsingh Roz, I have a quick question for you. My aunt (god love her) gave me a tiny little pink plaid clutch, it kinda looks like Burberry, but isn't claiming to be. (No brand, no tag) is this okay to list? Or is that not kosher? I was thinking about making it a free with purchase item, but I figured I would ask you as you seem to know the rules better than most. I don't want to violate poshmark rules or get kicked out of our fabulous share group. TIA. ♡
rozsingh
@katielady1982 Hi, You can list the clutch just don't say it's Burberry. It's illegal for knockoffs to be sold but if it's just a plaid patterned clutch then you're good. burberry doesn't have the lock on plaid. FYI Also, the listing I had describing to visitors to not lowball etc was removed by posh today. It was considered to not meet Poshmark listing rules as a women's fashion listing. So if you ever consider creating such a thing, don't. I wish you and your family a safe, healthy and happy New Year! 😘
katielady1982
Thank you. I have had my anti low baller listing up for a month or more now. I seriously wish posh would limit how much of a discount someone can ask for. Then we wouldn't need to make these listings. Very much appreciate your advice as always ♡
katielady1982
And i wish you and yours a happy, safe, healthy, and prosperous new year ♡
whiterabbit805
@rozsingh hi, I'm fairly new to Poshmark. I've been asked a couple of times about trading. So far I haven't been interested, but if I see something in the future, how do I trade? THANKS!!😘
rozsingh
@whiterabbit805 Hi, Lavina Welcome to Posh! As a general rule, I don't trade unless I can use one of my items to reduce the price of something I'm buying. First and foremost, you want to be able to trust whom your trading with. There are scammers out there that are just itching to basically steal from you so beware! And not just one or two, there are plenty. There are also plenty of trustworthy poshers too but how do you tell the difference? That's why I won't do it unless like I stated above, it's to reduce the price of something I'm buying. If you're doing a one for one trade with someone, you can either use Poshmark postage or pay your own. If you use Poshmark, there's no need to swap address however, with either method you run the risk of the other person not sending their item or canceling their end after you've sent your item to them. You will mark your item Not For Sale and either edit the title or lead photo to say it was traded so prospective buyers know the item is no longer available, then move the item to the bottom of your closet with your sold items. Then hope the item you traded for shows up in the mail. If you can, get trading references from the other person or if they are a Suggested User you can have more confidence you will get your item. If. That doesn't clarify the process enough, let me know and I'll try to provide further details on the part your unsure of. 😊

To tag a person so they see your comment in their news from any listing other than their own, you use an @ symbol prior to their closet name e.g., @rozsingh is mine. It's that simple. 😊

ericany80
Hi there - I just realized that you had this little Q & A area! Do you happen to know how long it typically takes for PM to settle a dispute? My item was delivered on Dec 31st to the woman who wanted to return it because it "didn't fit." I was told I would hear something w/in 24-48 hrs. It's been 9 days! I sent a 3rd email about it and was basically told not to write again and they would let me know when they reached a decision. Seems like a long time to decide whether or not she gets to have buyers remorse! She could be wearing the item for the past few days for all I know! Frustrating. Just wondering if you know the typical turn around period? Thanks😘
rozsingh
@ericany80 Hi, PM usually responds in 24-48 hours. However, with that said, I had them take over a week to decide one dispute, not sure what took so long, but it ended up being decided in my favor as a seller. Just sit tight and wait. I'm confident they will answer you shortly at this point.
ericany80
Thanks @rozsingh. Hopefully I will have the same outcome. It would be even more frustrating at this point to have to take the item back when she has had possession of it for so long! It just seems like an excessive amt of time when it's not a dispute over a damaged / misleading item. I guess I'll have to work on my patience 😬. Thanks again!!

@junescreations You can only share your listings to the parties while the parties are underway. The parties run at the same time every day, so you will have to schedule your sharing to align with when the parties are happening. If in the app, you will be notified when they start. 😊
junescreations
Dumb question but how do I set a schedule for that? Sorry new😯
rozsingh
@junescreations Hi June, it was just a phrase to watch the time so you share witching the party time. Tonight's party runs 10pm EST to midnight. Start sharing at 10:01pm EST. That's all 😊👍

Haha I knew that me finding a new party before you couldn't have been right! I didn't see you though, sorry for the double tag then =( Is that OK though, the way I tagged you guys (even @vanessa_03 and @justfabulous32)? I Didn't know if I should since you all have so much going on, and @rozsingh you seem pretty up to date on whats happening I didn't want to overload you either with tags.
rozsingh
@pre_pa514 Hi Claire, I'm perfectly fine with you tagging me for parties. 😊 I've recently been falling behind with my own party coming up plus I've taken on both weekend 3:30 share groups & the Sunday 8:00pm as well. SG hosting takes hours screening closets & then hosting them. With all that plus a nearly 60 hour a week job, I'm failing at it all. My poor son hasn't had me help him with homework once this year 😢 so there you have it. I need a clone! LOL You're tagging me helped me from scrolling back thousands of shares & comments to find them. If I don't comment when it rolls by, I can't scroll that far back. There are just too many people hitting my News right now. A double edge sword. I'm sure they think I'm ignoring them. I just can't keep up. Have a good night & tag me when u find parties I've missed. 😘🌹
cmc514
Oh goodness, and I feel bad for missing a few days since my pediatrics rotation started this week! I knew you had a lot of your posh plate, but add being a mom to that and I cannot imagine! I will absolutely tag you then when I come across them, and can even tag more of the people on the list so you don't have to do double work (and still have the party date and host)! We'll figure it out! Have a wonderful night. I plan on catching up tomorrow since I have Wednesdays off this rotation (MUCH NEEDED). =)
rozsingh
@pre_pa514 Ha! Oh, I use cut & paste. Don't think for a minute that I type that distro by hand each time. I've got that list in Notepad ready. 😉 but now that I know you're a peds dr, like my sister-in-law, if I collapse on posh, I know who to call LOL Have a great night 💕
acertainage
Can you hold that dress for me until I look like that model? :-) Also - seriously - do you think Posh will ever add Petites sizing so that those of us who are short and have narrow shoulders etc can use the Size filter more effectively? A P6 and a 6 are from two different planets!
rozsingh
@acertainage LOL I'm happy to take 50% down for layaway on the dress! I completely understand your comment on petites but PM isn't the only ones that don't understand the size difference. I'm 5'9". No way are my arm & leg lengths petite but twice I've purchased clothes here from poshers not understanding petite means shorter length sleeves etc. They are no way the same. When I sold a couple of my mom's petite jackets I customized the size for the listings to reflect petite to avoid what happened to me. Why PM doesn't add P sizes to the choices is beyond me. You raise a good point! 👍🌹👯🌟💕🎊👠🌺
acertainage
I enter a search for Petites blazer or Petites dress or whatever, but then can't filter for Just In, so have to scroll through everything I've seen before just to check for new stuff. Nordstrom and J Crew and Ann Taylor and other shopping sites let you filter by more sizes and it's so much easier. Also Tall or Plus sized women would appreciate having more size categories too!
acertainage
@rozsingh This is a seriously useful thread, btw, so thank you! I had NO idea until I read it here that sharing from someone else's closet to a party was a bad idea, Oops.
rozsingh
@acertainage I'm so glad you found the info helpful! That pleases me!!! 💐💕
cmc514
@rozsingh That is great your SIL is a pediatrician! And I'll always be here to catch you if you collapse haha =) I'm getting my masters in medical science & physician assistant studies, so I'll be a PA, not quite a doctor! I always thought I'd go to medical school, but then reality happened and I had to work full time to live! By that time I had interacted and known a few PA's, seemed like the perfect career choice. I was 30 when I finally applied to graduate school. Better late than never, I'm so grateful I'm almost done! OH and p.s. I went into a fancy shmancy jewelry store today and your collection of pearls far surpasses theirs! ;)
rozsingh
@pre_pa514 Claire, you made me LOL so hard I startled my son and cat when I read your comment about my closet collection of pearls vs the jewelry store you visited! Thank you for the compliment! 😊😘🌹 Keep persevering toward your degree. It's a lot of work but will be well worth it!

@rozsingh Hi how are you? It shows yet again your not following me...😞Anyway, I wanted to let you know that I just got home yesterday from the hospital as I've been in there for 2 weeks in the oncology unit. I've been on chemo since dec 5th and it's been really hard on me. I actually collapsed in my bathroom and my 9 year old called 911. They had to rush me to the hospital because my vitals were so bad. I was in so much pain I just wanted to die as I couldn't stand it anymore. After lots of meds thru an IV and tons of tests they almost took me off the chemo. But everyone in my church started a huge prayer chain and visited me daily to ho lift me up. Thank God because it worked and I finally was well enough to come home to my little girl. It's been so hard on her. I still have until the end of feb. To go till I'm finished with chemo. So I was wondering if it would be ok to ask you for prayers? Thank you so much as I really appreciate you so much. Btw, do you have a Facebook? I do and all of this is on it and if you do maybe you can send a friend request? Anyway thanks so much and have a blessed weekend, Gail xoxo

@rozsingh Hi Roz, this thread is so helpful and I truly appreciate the time and effort you put into it! I have read every single post and got answers to most of my questions. I still have 2. I hope I didn't just miss the answers somewhere.
1. Sometimes I find that after I've been sharing for awhile, BAM, there it is, that one not allowed item that I didn't notice. At this point I just stop sharing but it's hard to remember who I don't want to share for, haha. So, if I block a closet do they know I blocked them? Would it be better just to unfollow them?
2. I'm just wondering if it is an "unstated" rule that things like NWT lotions, makeup and perfumes are not allowed? I can't seem to find anywhere that Posh actually states that but it seems to be the consensus in many posts from seasoned poshers.
Thank you so much for this resource‼️ The most helpful thing I found was about only sharing other poshers items to my followers and only sharing my own items to parties once. That is going to save me scads and scads of time‼️‼️😜💓
Lastly, I spoke to the postman about the boxes cuz he caught me before I shipped something in the wrong box. He said the easiest way to make sure you are using the correct box is to make sure you only use the ones that say MAILING BOX. In the same place that the incorrect boxes say FLAT RATE BOX the correct boxes will say MAILING BOX. That was so helpful to me I thought I'd share it😊
rozsingh
@fashioncravings Hi Debbie, I don't typically block people because they are posh rule non-compliant. I just typically. Stop sharing their closet when I discover it and leave. No, when you block someone, there's no proactive notification. Only if they knew they were following you, it would indicate they weren't any longer and they wouldn't be allowed to share your listings nor leave any comments. Under the Frequently Asked Questions area, look for the question How Do I Sell on Poshmark? Click the selling guidelines link. Under there is where it tells you what's prohibited but know it's not an all encompassing list and when in doubt, email Poshmark Support and they will give you the official answer. Finally, USPS will tell you the Flat Rate boxes are no no's. You can order supplies for free online from them. It's great!

@annifer_ann read thru the info here when you have time. Hopefully, some will be helpful to you.
annifer_ann
@rozsingh I read thru a lot of it, some I was already doing, much was helpful and some was confusing. I am incredibly sorry for what happened before, I was wrong, but I was also left feeling attacked and absolutely awful. I was ready to just delete my account and take my things to a consignment store. I don't want to be a part of a community that has such power cliques, I did not like that feeling.
rozsingh
@annifer_ann Hi if there is information here that's confusing, LMK I and I'll try to explain further. I do understand your point of view, but I think my perspective has escaped you. I have many doing this to me on a weekly basis, most with malice. It takes hours to relist my items over and over and I lose customers each time I do it and I have to spend weeks regaining the likes and interest lost. It gets old. I'd like us both to move past it and not have my listings discuss it further, if you don't mind. Posh is a great community for gaining friends and a sense of community. You'll meet many nice people here, unfortunately you misstepped with something that's been rearing an ugly head for several of us that have highly frequented closets. That makes us a target, it's exhausting, and gets old. The poshers have a habit if hitting more than one listing unless immediately dealt with. So let's move forward and like Dory said to Marlin, "just keep swimming" 😊💐
annifer_ann
I wish there was a private place here as to not soil your listings. I'll leave you to your community.
rozsingh
@mpont3 hi, I'll answer your price drop question here under the resource listing for new poshers so others can benefit. So you've read Friday's and Sunday's are the best days to drop prices. Think about when most people get paid and then drop prices accordingly. I wouldn't drop prices too early in the morning otherwise you miss the west coast and vice versa for night time with east coast. I think determining when to drop is a personal choice. Determine how much competition there is for the type of product you have to see if your price and product are in the right price range for available listings and then compare with those sold. It could be that you've priced it right or it could be its not. Do your research. When I first got started on posh, I was in a huge hurry to sell but realized that inventory sits. This is not a high turn over environment unless you're willing to give away your items. Keep in mind, once you drop a price, if you raise it back up later then drop again, posh remembers the previous price drop so a shipping discount to buyers may be a challenge.
mpont3
Great advice thank u! Xoxo
mpont3
Do u know of any sites like posh mark to sell men's clothes?? Or kids clothing in bulk??
rozsingh
@mpont3 For kids clothes totspot (only because I was told yesterday I can mention it here) but no clue for men's other than the big site that everything is sold on. As a SU, I can't publicize. You're putting me in an awkward position. 😕. Just search the web, I'd say.
mpont3
Oh sorry! I thought since we can't sell men's clothes on posh then it was ok to ask. Sorry!
bronte83
@rozsingh Hi! Do you know if holidays are taken into account when posh figures out average shipping time? I see that they exclude Sunday's, but I'm wondering if my "fast shipper" status could be in jeopardy if I make several sales today but can't shop until Tuesday because of President's Day. Thank you for the help!
mykidsfault
So if a party host leaves a comment on my listing that it will be her host pick, but the listing never makes it to the host pick showroom of that party, does it still count as a host pick? The kids were so disappointed, and I kind of was too. 😕

@pmitch5 Hi, there is no way to click & follow everyone at once. Wouldn't that be a great time saver if there was?! I've tagged you in this resource listing since it's got other answers to new posher FAQs. 😊
hawley99
Hi..question: How much is the minimum percentage an item is marked down to get the shipping discount notification? There's an item in my likes, & she marked down the cost, but I didn't get a notification such as: "Get it now for $2.99 shipping".. I know it depends on how much % they mark down, but I've had other lowers shipping notifications still..And I can't find the official info on this anywhere..yet I've seen this somewhere..Thx!
hawley99
Oops..never mind..just found the info I needed. (Not thru the app, though)..had to google. Would be great if they had that info in FAQ's..I've seen it advertised in many closets and in Poshmark's official closet, but couldn't find Posh's official closet when I need it (I forgot to "Follow" them at that time). So when I went to search for them, it was impossible, since so many people name their closet with the word "Posh".. Makes it super hard to find the official "Poshmark closet".. You'd think they would have a rule against this?
mykidsfault
@rozsingh and everyone. . .what do you think is the best day and time to mark down items? Thanks!
rozsingh
@mykidsfault I'd suggest payday or figure out which day of the week you get most sales. I'd lower prices that day and wait until the west coast is at least awake for a few hours.
rozsingh
@s3xy Hi, a buyer has 3 days to accept the purchase after receipt. If acceptance nor a case is opened within that time, Poshmark waits another day or so then releases payment to the seller. On another note, when asking questions to another posher, unless it's related to that listing, you shouldn't write on that posher's listing. Write your question or comment from one of your own instead. It's considered rude. Since you're a brand new posher, I tagged you under my resource listing which has answers to questions other new poshers have asked. I'd also recommend you read the the Poshmark Etiquette Do's and Don'ts. They will help you integrate into the culture and community more quickly.
ardavidhizar
@rozsingh this may seem like a stupid question so sorry for asking, but how do you make your first sale? I've been on poshmark for almost three months and had one offer which I couldn't accept because it was too low. I've dropped my item prices drastically and have shared all of my listings to every party they could be shared to and to my followers.
How long should I expect before I start selling? I am accumulating a pile of clothes that I have listed and I'm wondering if I'll ever get to sell them :/
Thanks for all your help! And I apologize if this question has been answered. Thanks for taking us under your wing!!
rozsingh
@ardavidhizar Hi, you've got bright clear photos of your items, so that's a great start and you're doing the right thing by sharing to parties and your followers. A key element you're missing that is counter intuitive is sharing other people's listings to your followers. After 3 months, you've only got 129 shares. It's vitally important in my view to share others's listings to your followers since its Poshmark proper etiquette to thank someone for doing that by sharing back. That's how you gain followers faster when you're sharing listings of poshers that have more followers than you. There are a couple of ways to do the sharing, either randomly through your feed, targeting specific individuals or joining a share group. I joined a share group within a few weeks of joining posh because I saw the benefits. I gained followers, likes and when you increase likes, you increase the likelihood of sales. The other thing you should do is to compare what you're selling versus your competition. What are they charging? How are they describing the item? What do their item's photos look like and what's it's condition? Anything that differentiates your closet in a good way will help you. Those are my initial thoughts. I wish you much success here on Posh!

@rozsingh I have started sharing listings. I've seen the follower benefits and they've shared my listings too which is great. Just wasn't sure what else to do. I try to share 20 listings 3-4 times a day. Obviously I haven't been able to do that crazily but I'll keep improving. Thanks!!
sewstylish
Would you mind taking a look at my few listings and critiquing my photography? For example: too dark, nice and close, too blurry, nice coordination, etc. I want to make my listings appealing to look at, cause that goes a long way to making a sale, I would think. Do you agree?

@cmcbryde good info here
pinkfashiondiva
@rozsingh Thank you so much for starting this thread. It's so helpful to me as a new Posher. I'm so excited about this site, I was like "I've found my people!" LOL you have such a beautiful closet and a beautiful heart for taking the time to do this, so I just wanted to take a moment to tell you THANKS! Happy Poshing 💗💗💗
rozsingh
@pinkfashiondiva Thank you so much for stopping by, saying hi and the compliment! 😊💕 Happy poshing back atcha from one posh addict to another! 💃🌹💋

@rozsingh Hi! I am a new posher and I'm following and sharing as much as I can. But there aren't any comments or likes on my items yet, and I figure that looks odd to potential buyers. Are there any tips for getting more action on my listings? Thanks in advance.
sewstylish
Hi again! 😉 How do you get random pics like this with script to be on a listing? I'd like to put up a "welcome to my closet" listing with my rules, but without taking pictures of silly pieces of paper, if possible.
sewstylish
It's closer clear out time. I've never done it before. Suggestions and tips?
rozsingh
@sewstylish Hi Sarah, Start closet clear out by posting a listing talking SALE or Closet Clear Out 💥 Then for the items you want to sell, you could annotate either the listing title or cover photo to indicate their sale, if you have a large number of likes on the listing, you could drop the price by 10% and Poshmark will inform any Likers of the price drop & give discounted shipping. Whether you have many Likers or not, share, share, share those items to your feed and share items from other posher's to get them to your closet. When they come, they will see your items when they come to share back to their followers. Strategically pick poshers that share back & have good sized follower lists so you can grow yours & reach a larger audience when your listings are shared by other poshers. You could also join share groups to hasten the pace of reaching more followers. Lastly, you can tag friends from your sale listing & ask them to help share your sale by sharing it. I think that just about covers it. You could ask someone who does those sales. They may provide better advice since I personally don't do them and may be missing a few tips or tricks but I believe I've covered all the normal bases.

Wow! Thanks! 😉

@rozsingh hi I was wondering if ballet leotards are acceptable to sell on poshmark? They are not NWT but we're worn with tights and underwear underneath. I used to be in ballet but do not have the time to dance anymore so I figured someone else could get use of them. I have sold 2 and then it occurred to me that this might not meet the health/hygiene aspect. I am trying to work my way up to a suggested user and wouldn't want to cause any detriment to obtaining that! Thank you!
bria2004
I am new and I'm trying to get more followers. What would be the best way? Thank you 😊
rozsingh
@bria2004 Hi & welcome! Follow Suggested Users, their followers & share items from closets. Poshers typically will follow back if you make yourself known doing those things. 😊💕💃
bria2004
Thank you! 💕
ardavidhizar
@rozsingh hello again! Can you exs in a little bit why people have items listed not for sale then all of a sudden they're for sale and you never know how much it was listed or sold for? What's the point of listing an item that doesn't have a price rage?
ardavidhizar
@rozsingh tag* haha
nancyvdb
@rozsingh Thanks so much for doing this! so I easily figured out how to buy things, But now I am considering listing and selling and I am wondering what is best. Should I keep my listings seasonal? Or can I list any item at any time of the year?
rozsingh
@nancyvdb Welcome to Posh first off! I recommend listing it all. Sometimes it takes awhile to sell so list your items, share them, gather likes & someone will buy. I bought a fur in August so you never know who's gonna buy when. Happy poshing! 💃🌹💋
nancyvdb
@rozsingh thank you so much!
rozsingh
@ardavidhizar hi, I list items not for sale because they are part of a bundle that's been sold or because I've decided I'm so very tempted by my own pieces that before it sells I mark it not for sale while I decide if I want to keep it for myself. LOL It just occurred to me that a person could mark an item NFS because a potential buyer asked to put the item on hold until they have the $ to purchase. Some will hold items for buyers. Other than that, you'd have to ask the individuals why.
nancyvdb
@rozsingh ok I am probably just an idiot, :) but how does everyone make the info signs in their closets?
rozsingh
@nancyvdb welcome to posh! Read thru the comments here. You'll find apps to help.
lagunabeachmom
@nancyvdb You are so not an idiot! I'm trying to figure out how to do info signs:) I have no clue
nancyvdb
@lagunabeachmom Thanks! I am glad it is not just me! :) @rozsingh I looked through the comments but didn't see anything specific about the signs. Is it all just done through collage apps?
rozsingh
@nancyvdb you grab a wallpaper, photo or other background you like & use the photo editing apps to create your signs. 😊
lagunabeachmom
@rozsingh thank you. @nancyvdb I'm still going to have trouble figuring it out lol...I'm lame like that:)
nancyvdb
@rozsingh thank up so much! That is very helpful. @lagunabeachmom time will only tell if I can figure it out! I wanted to figure it out before I listed anything. I'll start following your closet to see when you are successful! :). Good luck!
lagunabeachmom
@nancyvdb ditto;)
rozsingh
@katemae22 Trades, where PM allowed are risky. U have to trust that other posher will send the item you're trading. U can either drop the price of your items to $3 & buy each other's to get the shipping label or swap addresses thru email & send thru the PO outside posh tracking. I personally don't trade outright since its a risk. I've heard stories of deals gone bad with one end canceling after shipment of the other item, so beware. Make sure you trust whom your trading with. That's my advice.

Hi!! I have a question - I purchased a skirt that was advertised as a size medium but I just received it today and it's a size large and the tag even says "large". It does not fit at all - it's gigantic (I'm usually a small but can fit in medium sometimes but a large is just too big)...and it's a shame because I really love it! It's adorable. :( What can I do? :/
rozsingh
@whererosesfall Open a case. Take a photo of the label & submit it stating it doesn't match the description. Poshmark will evaluate the claim & make a determination. From the sound of it, they will issue a refund & a return address label free of charge.
whererosesfall
Thank you so much! Such a fast response too!! You're awesome ❤️
voguerecycled
Hi...are new phone cases permitted on posh? I have several cute ones as I sell shoes and accessories...but unsure if it's allowed.
prettylady16
@rozsingh is there a such thing as sharing your own closet too much?
rozsingh
@prettylady16 Hi, welcome to posh! The answer is no & yes. No in that the more your followers see your items the more likes you'll receive and therefore closer to a sale. The problem is that Poshmark has a limit to the # of daily shares before u error out for a timeout period. To avoid that, join share groups where you share each other's listings & others have larger follower lists than ur own. 😊
prettylady16
@rozsingh thank you so much 😃
prettylady16
@rozsingh I noticed coments on here from you taking a look at other peoples closet, if and when you get time if its not too much to ask could you please glance at mine. 🙏🙏
rozsingh
@prettylady16 Hi Welcome to posh! I'm not sure what kind of a look see you're requesting.
oliviaipps
Hey I have some trouble and I stumbled cross this hoping for help, I've had all five star ratings and recently an immature and rude seller gave me a one star for such a horrible reason. Is there any way of getting rid of the rating? Will it ruin my chances of hosting/ becoming a suggested user in the future?
rozsingh
@oliviaipps I had a similar issue once. Poshmark won't remove the low rating. In my case, the buyer changed her mind on a brand new Coach bag & her case was rejected. It does drop ur avg rating but doesn't affect party hosting or anything else. Sorry that happened to you. Just keep selling!
oliviaipps
Thanks so much! It has me feeling so down :( I was perfect and one girl ruined this ugh

@findingmychi sorry dropped my phone & it was kind enuff to post the halfway written comment. In the upper right of the person's closet you'd like to block, click the box w arrow. Then select Block User. It will ask u to confirm & u say yes & it's done.

Hello!!'✌️💖 I've been selling actively for a few months and have been a bit stressed if my listings are following posh rules. I want to be a saint of a posher 😇 If you have time can you please peek in and see if my closet is ok?! Thank you!!!
angeldevilcult
Another question! Are small NWT plush toys allowed? I just deleted one from my closet.
rozsingh
@edenfox Hi, your closet has a great style to it! The only type of thing that I can see that isn't posh rule compliant are the tops that you'd wear "braless" example corset tops. The only way those can be sold on posh is if they are NWT otherwise they are considered unsanitary. Other than those listings, your closet looks great!
rozsingh
@edenfox Oh, forgot to include the answer to your other question, no plush toys are not women's fashion related and it was a good thing you removed that listing already. 😊
angeldevilcult
Thank you so much for taking the time to help/answer back❤️ I'll delete those items as well, is it ok if they have been used only as shirts, always with a bra? Maybe I can put that in the description. Thanks again!!!!! 😋🌟🌟🌟
rozsingh
@afkaitie80 as a new posher, hopefully there's some info here you find useful. @htpink05
prayshopposh
Heyyy 👋👋👋👋.... why is it that every time a party starts there are already listings upon listings upon listings and it just started? Is it the time zone diff?
rozsingh
@aaapowaaa There are thousands and thousands of poshers sharing their listings immediately from the second the parties start. That's why there are listings there already. In the past several years, more than 2.1million have registered with poshmark, so in order for 220,000 listings to get into a night time party, you can expect thousands to hit per second.
prayshopposh
Oh ok lol

jennifer5220
hello I'm am new to posh. I've bought one item and sold my first item a couple days ago🎉🎉 but I was wondering what a share group is? I think that's what it's called. 😀
rozsingh
@jennifer5220 Welcome to posh & congrats on ur 1st sale. A share group is a group of poshers sharing each other's listings to their followers. There are a # on posh, some themed by listing type, others not, just by time convenient to members. Groups only share with closets compliant to posh rules. I'm a host with one of the most popular share groups. 😊
jennifer5220
Ok I think I understand and thanks for getting back to me so fast💞 I am loving posh!!
ebeme
Hi! Thanks for hosting this page. Is there any way to tell who shared my listing? I know it comes up in my feed but I wanted to thank everyone who shared it and don't know how to find them all. (Going back through my feed would be ridic). Thanks!
ebeme
@rozsingh I am also wondering if there's a limit on how many brands you can follow. I don't think I chose that many, maybe 15?, but I'm unable to add more. Now when I try to click 'follow' on another brand, nothing happens.
rozsingh
@ebeme Hi Erika, I think you should turn off your device and turn it back on. That should clear out the app. I am following 26 brands right now with no problem.
ebeme
Thanks, will do! Did you get my question about how to know who shared my post so I can thank them?
rozsingh
@ebeme You have to go thru your News to know who shared your listings. That's the only way. The best thank you is to share their listing back to your followers. To be blunt...People don't want you writing thank yous for them sharing your listings on Poshmark. It doesn't bring them sales. They'd prefer to be shared back. That's why it's important to keep up with News. Happy poshing!
ebeme
@rozsingh that makes sense! :) thanks again
lorilouie
@rozsingh Thank you for having this for the newbies! I have learned a lot just by reading through these posts! You & the other ladies in the Dairy Queen share group have been so welcoming & helpful! 🙆 I will continue to try to be in the share group on the weekends. I am trying to be totally compliant! Thanks again for your continued support. 🎉🎊
suemt1976
@rozsingh What is the protocol when you see a listing of items that you know are kind of cheap, and were a free gift from a retailer (I know because I also got the same free gift from the same retailer), and the seller is asking $20 marked down from $60? Do you just ignore it and hope noone falls for it? Is this something that the report feature is designed for?
rozsingh
@suemt1976 Hi welcome to Poshmark. The protocol is to leave it alone. They are selling it in their closet. If a buyer desires a pretty cosmetic bag brand new by a seller, what do you care? You don't really. I use Clinique products & have tons of cosmetic bags. I don't use them. I've got customers that love the bags but don't use that make up so they aren't entitled to the free bag w purchase. You'll find many examples on posh.
rozsingh
@suemt1976 You don't want someone spoiling your listings with negative comments. It's best to them to yourself otherwise it's considered harassment on Poshmark.
suemt1976
@rozsingh okay, thank you.

@nancyvdb Hi Nancy, I saw your post earlier asking about how you make those collages? Did you ever find out about which app to use?

Good evening! I am still learning everyday, haven't gotten any sales yet but I'm not expecting any being this new to the site. I've been following and sharing as much as I can each day. I had ask someone before but they didn't answer me back for some reason How do you tag followers.I feel so silly to ask.I don't really bother with social media much because I really don't have the time due to running several different stores so maybe I'm missing something.Thanks

@deborahd518 Hi, welcome to Poshmark! I just tagged you with an @ in front of your closet name. That's how to tag someone. There's no way to mass tag.

@erynpaille This is it! It's a long one but totally worth reading!
rozsingh
@erynpaille Hi When an item sells, the buyer pays the shipping fee. Only if the item weighs more than 5lbs does the seller have to pay more. When the item sells, Poshmark sends the seller an email congratulating them on the sale & it includes a pdf USPS priority label with the buyer's address in the to field and seller return address. 😊 seller prints it & tapes it to the USPS free supplied box you can get at the PO.
katterracina
@rozsingh how do you become a Host pick?
kbsmimzy1
Not understanding share parties and following the rules. I'm a newbie. Lol. Any advice or tips is appreciated 😀
rozsingh
@kbsmimzy1 welcome to Poshmark! The purpose of share groups is to increase followers & get your listings seen by hundreds of thousands of potential buyers in their feeds though you yourself don't have many followers. By sharing listings from other closets, the etiquette is they share back rather than thank.
rozsingh
@kbsmimzy1 as for being posh rule compliant, Suggested Users can lose that privilege by sharing from closets that have non-compliant listings so they won't share that closet. Co-hosts from parties are instructed give host picks to only compliant closets. Host picks bring visitors to your closet. Also liquids are illegal to ship do compliance isn't the only issue. The USPS agreement with posh prohibits liquids & is illegal to ship. Many benefits to just being compliant.

@rozsingh do you do direct deposit? I'm worried about giving my acct info to an app, but if other people do it without an issue then I suppose it's okay

@rozsingh This page has been so helpful, thanks! I've been reading and reading, and I'm learning things I didn't know I didn't know! Btw, your closet is stunning. I love pearls, and you display and photograph them beautifully.
I have two questions: First, I saw a Posher today with 2.2M followers. Million?? How is that even possible?
Second, you mentioned you remove your own Like once the feed count is over 14. Where can we see the feed count? I only have a smartphone, no computer.
rozsingh
@rcatheron hi, welcome to Poshmark & thank you! ☺️ there are a few Poshmark employees who's accounts nearly camp out on the find ppl list. As a suggested user, you gain followers faster but while on the find ppl list the #s appeared to go up faster than follower counts. HQ says not but looks like gaming. .
rozsingh
@rcatheron By clicking into ur listing and scrolling down, you can see the # of ppl that have Liked ur listing & by clicking that, it'll give u the list of names (that's all provided u have a list of names & it's more than 14). Less than that and u only see names at the top level, not a count
chicknthesticks
@rozsingh I have more questions, sorry! I asked PM support and the app team to add a zoom feature, a new category for suits, and fix a glitch in the filters, to no avail. Any suggestions? Next: every time I get a new follower I quick-scan their closet before I follow back or share anything. I'm shocked by the sheer volume of unauthorized or inspired items, etc.
I report them every time. Is there a point where I will become a pest to PM staff?
rozsingh
@rcatheron I'm sure PM gets lots of great ideas. I have no idea why they implement some & not others. Budget constraints, insufficient volume of requests from many poshers IDK??
rozsingh
@rcatheron Yes, many sell prohibited items but they won't get host picks nor become suggested users. Many won't share their listings. All these would have increased exposure to their closets & raising the likelihood of sales. All becuz they want to list prohibited usually low price items. A shame really but what can u do? As for reporting, PM acts quickly on replicas/knock offs but not so on other reporting types in my experience.
chicknthesticks
@rozsingh Ah, understand all, thanks. I knew the Likes count, I thought you meant the number of times an item had been on the actual Feed. I appreciate your help very much! You're doing a really good thing here ❤

rozsingh
@flashbackcloset hi, you must share each listing to your followers individually. You may oray not see your listing in the feed. With 880 followers & depending upon the time, there could be tons of listings hitting at the same time so your item could be there just down further cuz you can't switch between sharing & ur feed fast enuff.
rozsingh
@flashbackcloset go to your closet stats & check your self shares. If they are increasing, then you're sharing you're listings. Don't forget to refresh screens between looking so u see if there's progress.
sparkling_blue
Hi @rozsingh! What do i do if someone asks me to lower my price so that they pay less shipping? How much should i lower it for this to happen? Thanks for this page. It's helped clear up a lot of things for me regarding poshing.
rozsingh
@theshopspot hi, the poshmark shipping discount usually kicks in with at least a 10% discount off the listing. If the listing was previously discounted & price raised unfortunately they track that info so it has to be lower than ever before.
rozsingh
@theshopspot with that said, if I have an item marked firm price & someone wants a discount, I create a new listing with an outrageously high price, have them Like ❤️it, then mark it to the firm price so though they pay the firm price they still get discounted shipping. Lowering a listing price is YOUR choice. If you don't want to, create that new listing at $5000 & just give them discounted shipping like I do no discount on the item if it's already low priced already. 😊💕
sparkling_blue
@rozsingh Thank you so much for EVERYTHING you've said! Makes a whole lot of sense. You're idea about creating the second listing rocks. I would never of thought of the that. So helpful 💃💃and empowering 💪

I was torn whether to step back in. My feisty side wanted to come back with meanness to match... But my heart made me delete the listing. I don't tolerate cruel words... I don't know what to do Roz! I've never blocked anyone!
rozsingh
@erikagannon oh I blocked her right away. So did Vanessa. We block people all the time, typically for not sharing since we get a lot of that but we also don't tolerate bad attitude or hate. So she got blocked. Blocking is a personal decision so only you can decide. If u think she'll buy from u, don't block or if u want her sharing. She's not sharing in my group lol
erikagannon
I am beside myself!! That has never been the attitude with My gals!! Makes me sad! You're a friend and I popped over to her one even before you responded and explained that the Kat girl is new and trying to get the group figured out... I'm tolerant to that for a week or so and she lives on the west coast but that you and I are friends and you are a seasoned posher... I knew hell was coming her way!

Slandering me. I was assaulted as a model outside FIDM. But that's very private. I never wrote to her or publicly? My line is celeb clothes for causes. I've been healing... I've always helped others, as a model worked non profit for shelters. I cried when I saw that!

Oooooooo!
onlyme70
If someone makes you an offer on an item and you decide to take it, then they decide to bundle, do they get your bundle discount ontop of the discounted price of that item?
rozsingh
@onlyme70 hi I honestly don't know since I don't offer bundle discounts. @vanessa_03 👆🏻 do you know? This posher stumped me on her question.
onlyme70
@rozsingh lol sry its only because i do take offers and sometimes ill take a lower offer than wanted just to make merchandise move but im afraid im going to run into that one day, where i make hardly anything on an item because of discount, bundle discount and commission paid 😮
vanessa_03
The way I think it works is once you accept an offer the listing automatically becomes "Sold" so they would not be able to add it to a bundle at that point. @onlyme70
onlyme70
@vanessa_03 so they have to make offer with make offer button, not on wall! Alot of people make it on wall. Ty :)
vanessa_03
@onlyme70 Anytime someone makes an offer on my listing I tell them to use the Offer Button. I am not sure if you agree on a price verbally and then they bundle it how that works.

@trishtam Hi, you may find this listing helpful with the answer to your hosting question too 😊 Welcome to Poshmark!

Is there a reason why items CANNOT be uploaded from a PC? My eyes aren't as good as they used to be, and I'm getting eyestrain from working exclusively from my android phone. Plus, it would be great to work with a real keyboard, not the tiny one on a phone. Thank you for your help.
rozsingh
@readeadams Hi, I'm not sure why Poshmark hasn't expanded edit capabilities to the PC. I surmise it's due to a higher expense for implementing security & they're trying to keep costs low but that's just a guess on my part with a cyber & Engineering background. No real info from PM to confirm.
rozsingh
@eclectikalley here's the listing. If u have time, read thru Qs&As. Hopefully there's something there you didn't know already.

@rozsingh this is so helpful and thoughtful of you to put together! I'm new at Poshmark, too and I am already loving just your first two listed tips! You're so awesome 👍💛😄

Hey there! Ur such a doll for taking the time to answer all these questions. I read through a lot of this great advice & forgive me if I missed the answer to this... But I have a very technical/ stupid question. On an iPhone, when it describing the listing, how do U skip lines without pressing the space button a bunch of times? Every time I press enter it takes me back to previous screen.
rozsingh
@livefree24 Hi, you can't skip lines when editing directly in the app. Use your Notes app or an emoji keyboard app, then cut & paste your formatted text into the description. That'll give you what you seek.

Thanks for the shares! I am newer to Posh.
I found If I follow too many people I am buying stuff with my Posh money!
rozsingh
@miralovescandy You made me giggle. A benefit of posh! Great deal after recycling your closet's pieces LOL
miralovescandy
@rozsingh LOL! He he he!
Thanx for the shares and I am doing the same! I got to slow down on the buying!
Have a Happy New Year

@cdj69 if you buy cloth things that smell of smoke that can be hand washed, try hand washing them with white vinegar/water/lil bit of detergent. I've done that... Cause it was bad I had to do it a couple times but now the smoke is out completely. Air dry. Outside in sunshine is best but inside is fine. Do not put in the dryer cause it will set the smell if you didn't get it all the first time.

You are simply wonderful to help others new to Posh!!. I am a newbie.. And dont have alot of time now to commit but intend on doing so soon. My schedule is crazy and I just posted a few pics from items on my business website. I cant wait to take additional photos of my items and look forward to the future to come. Again Thanks For Being So Kind. God Bless!!!

@miamessinger hi welcome to the Poshmark community. Read thru the comments here for useful info for new Poshers. Like ❤️ the listing so u can refer back. 😊
poojasangwan
This is so helpful @rozsingh! I am a new posher and finding my way around here! :) Can you please tell me how you bundle items? Also, how do you offer a multi item discount?
rozsingh
@poojasangwan Hi, welcome :) there are 2 ways to bundle. Buyers can bundle themselves by selecting more than 1 item and using the bundle feature or they can comment to you and you can bundle for them by creating a listing with those items, with a combined price. Be sure to include a full description of the items being sold to protect yourself as well as the buyer with pictures. You can find examples of my bundles in my closet.
rozsingh
@poojasangwan A multi item discount is a feature you set up for your closet. So when a buyer bundles, it automatically discounts that bundle with that defined discount you've preset. It's under My Seller Discount.
poojasangwan
Thank you @rozsingh!
snokitti_31
@rozsingh morning ☃ can we sell body shapers that are new but without tags? It is a leotard style slimmer. Thanks.
rozsingh
@snokitti_31 Yes, just describe it. List it. Happy poshing 😊
snokitti_31
@rozsingh thanks!
angelbritton
HI I've been reading your comments and can you let me know what share groups are active that I might be able to join? I have made sales but I'm slow on getting followers and my sales have come to a standstill.
dwinterling72
I just recently figured out that i should share to those parties i get invited too ughhh!!!! Of course if it qualifies im terrible at tagging etc. Im a little out of the new technology group
poshologie
@rozsingh you are AWESOME! Thanks for this wonderful forum for questions! Is there a faster way to share our listings than to go one by one and click the share button? Thanks a lot!!
rozsingh
@marmar12345678 The fastest way to share is on a laptop. Followed by an iPad & the slowest is by phone. I've tried opening 2-3 Windows at the same time to share at the same time but can't really tell if it's faster. It does allow me to share my closet & others at the same time though. Over time you get much quicker with the repetitive motion.
poshologie
@rozsingh ah thanks! I've only been posting from my phone so I will start using my laptop! Thanks so much, hopefully this will save me time and allow me to share some more! 👌🏼👯💃🏻🎉🎀💐
rozsingh
@mrs228 Suggest u Like ❤️ this listing & readthru the comments when u have time. A few things have changed since I started but most remains the same & hopefully you'll find helpful. Welcome to our posh community 💃🌹👠
virago
Like everyone else I want to thank you so much for your insight and information. Today was my first day posting. So exciting but so much to learn. A quick question -- when someone makes a purchase from you should you thank them here on sight? I know to place a thank you note in the package but I thought it would be nice to thank them right away...
Also did I see in some comments that there are lists of information that is available? If so I need all the help I can get!
mwrenn
@rozsingh just browsing and ran across your intro. Love love it. Been buying since 2013. Just started selling this year. Had a few questions that support did not answer.
1. I see how a customer qualifies for bundle price when they initiate it.
2. But how do you qualify them when the seller puts the items together.
I have a couple more but that's it for tonight
rozsingh
@mwrenn Hi Marion, if you initiate a bundle rather than the buyer then as a seller you need to do the math on the bundle discount. It's that simple. Here's hoping you get many bundles in your closet!
mwrenn
@rozsingh Ty for the fast response. That's what I have been doing but others don't seem to know this. I've been doing pretty good so far. Just have to weed out fake stuff.and things called by different names.
staceink
Im new could u explain how things work i hv alot of stuff in my closet most new
rozsingh
@staceink hi, I'd suggest reading the Poshmark FAQs first then coming back to this listing & reading the QAs here. Both should answer many of your initial questions to help you get started. Welcome to our Pishmark community! 😊
may_june
Thanks for setting this up. It's been very helpful. I have a question I'm hoping you can help me with. I won't be able to ship items for about a week. What's the best way to announce this to my followers? Do I mark all items as not for sale until I am able to ship again? Is there a better way? Thanks for any suggestions you can provide!
koshik
Hi there! I had a question about the parties and sharing items. I'm a little confused. If I share my items multiple times within the two hours, will it only show up once? TIA!
rozsingh
@koshik Hi, if you share your listings more than once to a party, the listings get shared to your followers instead each additional share time.
koshik
Great. Thank you for clarifying!
mckeescloset
Hi! I'm really glad i ran across this listing! Low on time right now but liked it so i can come back and read more! I kept getting invited to parties, and had no idea how they work. Getting a bit better idea now though. Will probably be back with questions, thanks so much for this help listing! ❤
mckeescloset
Hi Roz, I'm back with a question or two. One is... what happens when you "share?" So far I have been getting used to the community, following closets I like, and building my "likes" page... (Which is pretty freaking awesome at the moment!) I have not shared anything yet...
mckeescloset
Would it be appropriate to go through my likes and share them? I'm planning on starting to add items to my closet tomorrow, but I'm wondering how the whole share thing works. If I share things, do they only show up for my followers, and will not show up in my area? Or will there be a place I can see everything I have shared? Thanks so much!
rozsingh
@mckeescloset Hi, Shares go to ur followers unless u share deliberately to a party etc. Once u have ur own listings, share them to ur followers/parties often!!!! U can share ur Likes but I tend to Like stuff for future purchases rather than for potential sharing.
rozsingh
@mckeescloset Additionally, strategically, find closets that have lots of followers that share back & share their listings. They will share ur listings & help boost ur potential sales. Join share groups as well but practice sharing 1st. That's a time investment & can take 1-2 hrs each time but can be well worth the return.
mckeescloset
@rozsingh Thanks so much Roz! I have been saving things i would like to purchase as well. My likes area has some awesome stuff in it! 😊
mckeescloset
@rozsingh I'm also finding out that it can be pretty difficult to get the correct lighting to show colors correctly. I tried to get pictures of a purple dress today, but it looks brown, or gray... Any other color but the purple it actually is. Heh. 😜
rozsingh
@mckeescloset Yes, I only use daylight with my iPhone camera. Any other light won't do for representing color accurately.

@ckennedy13 you've been blocked & reported to Poshmark HQ for advertising in someone else's closet. It's considered rude. You should go read Poshmark's Etiquette Do's & Don'ts to better fit into this community. You've also become an example to other new Poshers that read my FAQ listing since I won't ever unblock you.
rozsingh
@savvylady Hopefully the info here is helpful to you. 😊

Thanks I just read your information that you recommended to new Poshers ---it's very useful! I think I am on the right track ! I will be asking questions trying to make some sales thanks again for sharing!
malibutam
Thank you for the following. I'm very new to this site & still trying to figure out everything, so I hope that everyone is a little patient with me, but I'm confused on a few things, but I can't wait to share my items with everyone. I also hope to have this done ASAP, so any feedback or assistance to help expedite this process would greatly be appreciated. I look forward to working with each one in the near future.
jrie429
Hey:) I am a new Posher! I was wondering how you tag people. I've had people like so many things and I have no clue how to tag them:(
rozsingh
@jrie429 Hi & welcome to Poshmark! To tag someone or comment to them, use an @ symbol before their closet name like I did yours at the start of this comment. When someone Likes❤️ an item, no need to comment back. If they share one of your items to their followers, don't thank them with a comment, just share back to your followers. That's the best thank you that you can give.
megansd
could you give me any comments about my closet like things i can improve on? :):):)
the_evenstar
Thanks for taking questions! I have a weird problem: I just listed an item called "VS PINK Yale Full-Zip Hoodie, NWT, Fits XS/S." It has the words "VS PINK" and "Yale" in the description too. But, on the Poshmark app, when I search for "Yale" or look at "Just In" PINK Victoria's Secret items, this particular listing *doesn't show up*. It shows up on the computer, just not on the app. (I have a similar ISO listing that does show up in searches, but my selling listing doesn't.) Any ideas?
rozsingh
@krismarie716 Hi, as a newer posher, you may find some of the info here useful. 😊
rozsingh
@deborahrn here you go. Hopefully there will be a few new nuggets here got you as well.
krismarie716
Hi, i had one sale and i went to the ups store and they charged me $1.00 to print the shipping label for me and then said they didn't have free boxes or envelopes and charged me $3 something to purchase an envelope to ship it in.
krismarie716
Hi again. One more question. Is there a way to share your whole closet at one time to your followers or do we have to share each item one at a time?
rozsingh
@krismarie716 you get free priority mail boxes and envelopes at the post office not UPS Store. The USPS is where the shipping is through. There's no fast way to share your whole closet to the Feed. You must share each individual item to your followers each and every time.
krismarie716
@rozsingh ok, thank you so much for that information! :)

This is such a helpful post! I joined Posh years ago but just recently got addicted to it! Lol. Now I need to start selling and this post is just so helpful for newbies like me. Thank you!

ksnyder87
I am a few wks newbie. I have a dozen items listed so far. I've purchased on poshmark but only sold one item. I wondered when I relist items to a party of those items are getting posted that Many times? also, do u think my followers are or will get annoyed with me delisting my same dozen items everyday? cause some items don't get any or just a few likes
ksnyder87
also, my family and I lived in ashburn va years back, beautiful there❤️

@rozsingh - Question 1 - I have recently sold 2 items on my Poshmark site. Delivered and both gave me 5 stars ... How do I see the comments that were made?
Thank you for this site❣ and thank you in advance for your answers❣Love your closet and time for helping all of us newbies 🌹.
gma_dida
@rozsingh Question 2 - recently had someone bundle but didn't hit the buy button. I reached out to them and asked a few questions, have not heard back. Is there something that I need to do when someone starts bundling? or is this on them by pushing the "Buy Now" button?
Thank you for this site❣ and thank you in advance for your answers❣Love your closet and time for helping all of us newbies 🌹.
lisaspluscloset
@rozsingh It took me a while, but I made it through all the comments and wanted to thank you for making such a great post for newbies! I did have one quick question: when you say that you share your closet multiple times a day to your followers, do you share your entire closet multiple times a day to your followers, or just a few items each time? Thanks in advance!
rozsingh
@lisaspluscloset Hi, I share every available listing to the feed several times a day. The more you share, the better the chance someone will see it in their Feed & want to buy it. Happy poshing!
lisaspluscloset
@rozsingh Thank you, thank you, thank you! You are a shining light in this Posh community! :D
neceowens
@rozsingh hi, do you know how the posh mini promotion works? I know it has something to do with poshmark now allowing us to sale children's clothing. I believe if your item is picked you'll get a $25 credit. Have you heard of this?
rozsingh
@vanessa_03 Hi Dahlink, Can you answer @neceowens question above? I don't know the answer to this one. 😘😘🌹💕
vanessa_03
@neceowens I just copied this from their blog: "Join our #PoshMini Covershot Contest! Today through Sunday, we’re giving out $25 in Posh Credit DAILY. To enter, simply share your kids Covershots on Instagram and be sure to use #PoshMini in the caption."

Thank you for all the wonderful tips for us beginners! I'm still learning the ropes.
rozsingh
@simplyelegant1 That is the million dollar question! I have no clue. I can only surmise it's in the wholesale portal where they are selling bunches to other poshers or if you're working full-time in the Poshmark HQ. I'm not seeing it since there's a cap on the # of shares you can do in a day.
harrta01
First of all THANK YOU! You are a wealth of posh knowledge. I hope I did not miss this question/answer already. Is there an easy way to follow closets/people who are already following you? As a newbie, I am having a challenge keeping up with following those who follow me. I always view each closet and like and share pretty much every time. Is this slowing me down or am I posh'ing wrong? I can't seem to keep up.
rozsingh
@harrta01 Hi You're welcome & thank you for the compliment. It's your discretion. Here's what I do...I follow as many as possible but go looking to follow people-I'm on a mission!, look at no closets but try to share back (can't keep up tho). I only "Like" it's when hosting a party or when searching for stuff I'd like to buy in the future. Each person has their own way of poshing. That's mine. I'm sure you'll develop yours 😊💕
harrta01
Perfect! Thanks... I will keep on posh'ing on. See ya around!
goodgoodies
Hi Roz, thanks for your kindness! I would LOVE to join the share group, but can't seem to find the listing. Can you please help me out with that? Thank you so much! 💕
rozsingh
@goodgoodies Hi, this share group doesn't meet any longer but there are others that you can search for & sign up for in the Poshmark community. Find one that meets your schedule. It's a time commitment, so know what you're getting into. You can spend an hour or longer sharing each time in a share group but I found it was worth it most times.
goodgoodies
@rozsingh Thank you so much for that, Roz😙!!! 💕💕💕
debiwithani
Is there a way to organize the sequence of your listings? The only method I've been able to figure out is the order in which you share them... Thanks for any tips!
rozsingh
@debihanuscin Sharing is the only way to reorganize your listings in your closet. What a shame we can't drag and drop, right?
amandaconway
I'm new to posting on my closet. It says I joined 3 years ago, but just for the past month starting to build up my closet. I haven't sold anything. I did a trade just hoping the buyer would give me a 5 star rating to get started on building trust. And she did. But I feel like no one knows me here or maybe I'm in the wrong site for my items? Any tips? What's wrong with my closet? I get compliments and shares but no purchases...
rozsingh
@amandaconway Hi, glad u got ur closet started! You've got great items for sale. To get attention, u need to share to the Feed often!!! Share others' closets that will share ur listings back as a thank you to their followers. Check prices of ur listings vs competitors & set prices to entice & just keep sharing to that Feed. Eventually those sales will roll in. It's a game of patience on this site sometimes. Especially with higher end items. I hope that helps.
amandaconway
Thanks so much! Also, I think it's a bit hard to shop. For instance I wanted to find a mans Rolex today. All I could get into was men's watches. But I can't scroll down to a million non rolexes. I need to be able to put the exact item I want on search and be able to find it without going through items that don't fit the criteria. Hope they make some improvements on the search.
amandaconway
And how do we get into these groups if I'm following the rules?
amandaconway
Also, I'd prefer to browse only through 4 or 5 star sellers as I've seen people selling fake items, not delivering on time, etc. any way to browse like at amazon.com?
