When creating your show, you will now see a required field for Show Type and can choose Live or Silent. Live shows provide the opportunity to display your items in-depth and allow you to connect with your shoppers in real-time! For silent shows, your show will default to having the camera and audio off, but you can always turn these on if you change your mind on the right side for host controls.
Fun fact: Viewers stay in LIVE shows 12x longer and also average 40x more sales than silent shows thus, we only recommend hosting silent shows for personal practice.
Feeling shy? There are many other ways you can host a LIVE show. You can always invite a friend up to co-host with you. All they have to do is leave a comment in your chat while you’re live and you can then click on their username and invite them up as co-host. Another way is to have your camera facing the other direction and just showcasing the item without you in frame!

@ivonneth it’s probably buyers remorse or accidental bid. I have had the same issues with live sales ..after my show ends the person messages me to cancel. It’s disappointing but it happens. The policy is “all BIDS are binding” I cancel as a courtesy because I’d rather keep the item vs deal with the hassle
of return or refund or bad review 🫶🏼

@creshah dear good to see you This system is so bad, all the sales that have come out in my closet of silence, the show have been canceled because every time I finish the show, the client claims that I never bid and that it is a scam and they ask to cancel, I feel so frustrated because I feel like I am losing the silent time show

@ivonneth Don’t give up 🫶🏼 There are good & bad poshers.. keep doing shows you will build your audience and repeat customers. I also block the user that asks to cancel simply because I don’t want to deal with the hassle. You can also take a screen shot with each purchase ( shows username in green) keep this to report to posh ☺️

@creshah same here she bid it in my live show then after she received the item she said she didn’t buy it then she contacted posh mark and Poshmark responded that they will look into it but she give me one star.

@anj88628 Posh is really good about the case reviews especially if you note live show..you did not deserve that rating..ughhh so frustrating! I wish people would communicate so buyer & seller can come to a resolution especially before a poor rating. 🫶🏼 Don’t give up..the good out weighs the bad

Pay your live sellers commission or some kind of incentive & more would do it , just sayin. Free shipping on one order is not enough to bring me back to hosting lives.

@vaidehi24 I'm always happy to find someone who wants to co-host. often I run for many hours and have to do everything by myself and it is exhausting. By doing things that way I never really get to show my items because it's easier just to sell theirs without any help.

@vaidehi24 So, I have to do silent shows in order to show my items or wait in many lines and Hope that the host has time to run my added in items. I have to repeatedly find different shows and weight during the show over & over again. It would be so much simpler, if our items would have the option to show slides or if I had help with the show host.

I found my first live to be not user friendly. I did my first live because of the poshmark incentive of matching my sales up to $100 in my first show. I wish it were that simple but one had to have 3 different buyers in 30 MINUTES!!! Seasoned hosts usually need almost a half hour before they get sales going. New shows don’t get many viewers either so the odds were stacked against me but still I’m glad I tried. Although I did not achieve my goal, I did make some good sales.

Hi! How often do you recommend doing parties? I went ahead and shared everyone’s closets today. I do Share Shows as well! I usually post an image as well. Wondering how much attention it really gets though in the algorithm. Happy Poshing! Enjoy the Summer! It’s going FAST!!

@foxymoonbaby I agree. They may need out ABC like talking to a kindergarten because many of us are not tech savvy. In my first live, I was fortunate enough to have a couple of other Posher’s that I had done shows that helped me tons. Usually if you ask somebody watching other Posher’s are very helpful so don’t be afraid to ask.

Nah, I'm good! I tried for almost 2 years and lost too many hours of my LIFE to sell and barely could get an audience!!! Even the easier silent shows I wasted my precious time. I'm happier!. I'm noticing the novelty is wearing off, AND even the popular ones who got in first and were able to gain an audience have lowered in numbers in people attending. People tired of wasting their time being entertained by dance offs, yoga, and prize games yet? plus the economy isn't helping.

@cygnetstudio you can invite someone to be on the screen with you once you start your show and go to the ellipsis. Each seller would have their own shipping charge. If a buyer purchases from 2 different closets, they pay 2 charges.

@ivonneth Hello I do Silent Posh shows to and a couple of times I gotten sales too and then they cancel their order and it is a pain because we all struggle these days to get a sale and then that happens, not only that the item can only be relished as a copy which really stinks! So I get it, if it keeps happening, maybe put “No Cancellations” in your show on each item and go from there! Have a good day and good luck!🎁🛍

@tammyserea Now, live sales, buyers want sales on the floor, everything is given away, and Poshmark, what used to be closet sales of great elegance, now Poshmark is a flea market, it is a disaster, and when I sell in a silent show, my clients also cancel because they claim that it is a scam sale, that is, the live sales system is a disaster. Does live sales work? Yes, but it works for those who sell items on the floor. It's sad to say that now, to sell quickly, you have to pay for promotion,

@ivonneth I am hoping as it gets closer to Christmas and the elections are over, things will start picking up so don’t give up! Also keep adding items throughout Social media! I sure wish Poshmark would let us bring in a program like a bot like Apps called Poshmark Sidekicks, or Poshmark VA or Flyp. But they won’t because they are like a third party and that’s in their guideline no third parties. But it sure would be helpful! Good luck in your posh business and have a great night! 🛍🎁

@tammyserea If you can see my shared photos, believe me, I know what it's like to have pain in your hands. I used to take 4,000 shared sales photos daily and today I can't even do 2,000 because my hands got sick. This is what hurts me the most. I have sacrificed so much for nothing, because for the new updates, really look for information. The most successful sales on Poshmark were in 2020 and 2021 were a very beautiful year.

@tammyserea I worked so hard to buy my house, but just as I told you that this year's sales have been a disaster, I also tell you that Poshmark was the greatest blessing in my family, because due to my sales in the past two years, my spreadsheets were beautiful and I was able to buy a house for my children.

@ivonneth buying a house with a Poshmark business was fantastic! I know we lost my dad about 3 years ago do to Cancer and my family would use to be able to buy groceries, clothes, go on trips and buy cars and now, we are all living from pay check to pay check and doing odd jobs just to live! But like I said I am hoping sales will start picking up and who knows maybe our businesses will get a little bit better!

@ivonneth I appreciate everything you’ve said here. ❤️ I’ve been here 7 years and live shows have completely changed this platform. I feel like PM has put all of their eggs into this basket instead of diversifying their business, and this in my opinion, is not a good business model. It also did not honor the original Poshers who built this business- from the ground up- like you. Who hosted parties; did the OG work.

@ivonneth I feel as though lives still need a lot of work (there are many complaints- look above!) .. there are so many ways that sellers (and buyers honestly) are not protected in this process, and ways that we are not making the money we could be making (and used to be making). Especially in this economy. It’s hard right now. I myself have not started lives at all for many reasons… and am still not convinced. I have to think about it.

@erinmevans How good to see you and sad to hear this, each seller pays %20 of our sales and now to have quick sales the new system forces you to pay promotion weekly and this has never worked, this is a robbery in the face of the seller, they continue winning and we continue losing, I am so sad because live sales have never worked for me, for me making a live sale has brought me problems and my reinting has gone down because customers complain claiming that it is a scam 😭😭

@erinmevans The buyer claims that they never touched the live button to buy, meaning that the system has problems. Based on my experience, these live sales do not work for me. I am sad to say that, but I have other colleagues who suffer the same as me. I hope to see Pohsmar in 2020. The old system that filled my hands with money in a month. That year I was able to close a month with 10 thousand dollars. Now I don't even sell $7 dollars.

@ivonneth Hmmm well the buyer obviously did push the blue bid/buy now button on the live show (even if it was by accident 😏) but unfortunately there is no way of proving that; and that is one of the several downsides of lives. People also don’t screenshot (although as a buyer I always do- as proof of purchase). There just needs to be way more protection for sellers!

@ivonneth I know I’ve accidentally bid because of the placement of the bid button on the screen and swiping in and out of shows (refreshing and typing comments)- accidents do happen! Unfortunately not everyone is honest 😌 I’m sorry to hear about your incredible decrease in sales 💔 Those $3-5 starts have tanked everything- that is for sure! People expect that on the wall now- and it’s just not fair to lowball like that.

@ivonneth Like would you go into Macy’s or even Target and tell the clerk- I’ll give you $3 for that? 🤣 NWT 🤣 I don’t think so. I still have to at least make my cost back 😔 I think people have become spoiled by the idea of it. Not understanding how much in fees we pay and how a $3 item means we make 5 cents! And that we pay for cancelations *still* on our end. Especially if we have 1099’s. But that’s a whole other convo 😉 Sending much 💖💖💖 and 💸💸💸 your way!! Xo Erin

@erinmevans dear I hope to see my beloved Poshmark prosper like two years ago. For now, I had to look for an 8-hour job to see money come into my account, since Poshmark no longer generates anything, no sales in my closet. It's sad to say, but I paid $600 in promotions and it didn't help either. I never felt cheated by this new system.

@ginak8087 I also give 5 stars but live sales have hurt me because every time I sell in a show in silence the client claims that he never bought that it is a scam and I am under my stars. Good thing it works for you. For now, for me it has been a disaster. Silent sales do not work for me.

@ginak8087 You are incredibly lucky and I’ve never heard of that. In fact I’m kind of finding it hard to believe. The only way that could happen is if you are refusing them. That is your right & is definitely a way you can conduct your closet. Every other live seller I’ve ever talked to- & I know many (I’m in live shows every day) have had cancelations. People accidentally bid all the time; people also just have come into shows to scam.

@ivonneth have had accident bids in both silent & live I have so far canceled all except 1 if the buyer accepts the fault and is nice about it & honest I cancel if they’re disrespectful or lying I didn’t! You could try the not so silent where you turn on you mic people seem to like to hear the seller and have more trust In buying however in the last 3 months sales have been so so terribly slow in almost all the shows even those with over 100!

I prefer silent shows. It’s easier to run them while multitasking. Live shows take too much time to set up and I don’t like taking time out of my day to go live and potentially end up with zero sales from it. If I’m doing a silent show and it is a flop, at least I was able to work on photographing items, study for a course I’m taking, or even cook dinner simultaneously. It’s also easier to watch them because you don’t need headphones if you are on the go.

so many resellers were doing shows , and I myself had purchased a couple things from lives. I gave it a try one day and my first show went very well. I've overall done well with live shows, however I will say it's hit or miss. Some shows are good and it's GREAT when people are interested and engaging in conversation, it makes it SO much more fun; but sometimes the shows are dead and people are not engaging which makes it difficult. I try to always be engaging when I'm in a sellers live .

I personally would rather go into a silent show. I don’t feel like being called out when I first enter a show. I also don’t like waiting for items to run. I also don’t like not seeing up close photos and being able to look at items closely and for as long as I want. So, the very few times I have watched a show zi kist prefer silent.

@lauraparks963 use the silent shows as a form of advertising and brand awareness. to showcase products. Sell for prices you are comfortable with. I do 50% OFF listing price. Just to drum up some sales, because on posh Sales equal more sales 😉

Silent shows are hidden on the show page, so it makes it even harder for people to see us. I do mostly Silent shows because it is physically hard for me to stand for long periods, move around etc. Silents are slower, but have been good for me. Thankful for wonderful customers that hang with me.

I think there are many customers who like shopping silent shows bc they move quickly, they don’t have to interact as much, they don’t feel bad to ask to see something and they can multitask or shop freely with people around 😂 for the seller it makes taking good quality pictures, videos and listings more worth it too. 💕

@pmartin52 Now, live sales, buyers want sales on the floor, everything is given away, and Poshmark, what used to be closet sales of great elegance, now Poshmark is a flea market, it is a disaster, and when I sell in a silent show, my clients also cancel because they claim that it is a scam sale, that is, the live sales system is a disaster. Does live sales work? Yes, but it works for those who sell items on the floor. It's sad to say that now, to sell quickly, you have to pay for promotion

I haven't been able to get people to stay in ours either way. 3 hour live show got us 1 sale and she left a horrid review at that. I'm having a hard time reaching any viewers even with name brands, general size bracket, theme, a giveaway, or even engaging banter when someone might flip through. I've tried different days, different times etc. at least with a silent it's not so draining and time consuming. The live algorithm is really harsh and not allowing sellers get to a top of a pile.
