5 Poshmark Tips to Make Consistent Sales

[@mepperly07]

Another thing that I do is I share from parties. I go into the last PM party and share for about 10 to 20 minutes a day. I find this gets a lot of attention as far as followers and return shares because party sharers are active on the platform. I have found that this alone has helped with daily sales.

[@hypoluxo_co]

@mepperly07 would you mind sharing how you do this? Thank you!

[@jojose417]

I started doing this also just because I thought it was a good idea lol I just started on Posh though I also only share items that are brands I like and similar to what I sell/will be selling hoping that helps lol

Great to know about those mailers not clinging! Just curious why you don’t just use the free strong, tyvek mailers from the post office? Thanks!

[@cayleyelaine]

I do use those sometimes but I always feel like I have to reinforce them with tape. I prefer the padded mailers for free shipping supplies.

[@uniniversalstar1974]

I honestly don’t care for Poshmark that much. I did have my biggest week on there over a thousand dollars in sales.I rarely share my closet nor do I do bundles. I list certain items on Poshmark that I don’t List on EBay which is mostly high end designer clothes that sell themselves . What I don’t like about Poshmark is when a buyer purchase something and they don’t finalize the order and I have to wait the 3 days to get paid when you already have had my items for 3 days. I’m paid instantly on EBay and I do sell way more on EBay that’s why my focus is not on Poshmark. Great info though

[@MichelleAllen-go7bd]

Especially when I bust it to get it shipped out pronto!

[@gabeeckard5548]

Thank you for addressing the 3 day delay period. I'm thinking of selling. I have purchased items and I do accept my orders promptly but I'm sure quite a few out there do not or do not know how.

[@jb9218]

That was an amazing week, indeed! I totally agree about buyers holding back receipt! So rude! I try my best to accept order ASAP!

[@michelleboyd-fy3dg]

Hi there I was wondering if you would consider doing a video about the other aspects of business as a reseller. I am looking into buying an additional storage building that I can turn into an office and do what not shows on that I am wondering what things you can count to write off as taxes if you have a accountant, etc.

[@cayleyelaine]

I will not give tax advice because I think you should see a tax professional for your exact situation and location but I can tell you that I do write off my office lease as an expense and having an additional space has been tremendous for me.

[@raev.c1279]

have you made a video explaining how to write out a description and what measurements do I need to put in my description for like jeans, shirts, shorts, jackets, ect? I am confused about what’s the best pics to take and what’s the best wording for titles. Lots of videos don’t explain well. HELP HELP Please? i’m I am opening my online stores this week and have a page of questions I really need some help! Your videos are a life saver and give me hope that I can do this!!! Thanks girl!

[@cayleyelaine]

I don't have that specific video but you can always check out my ebay store and see how we do it.

[@aliciakangris7352]

Thank you for this video Cayley! I started Posh months ago and I really love it. I almost didnt when I watched the video where your sister was thinking if dropping it, but I decided to try. IM SO GLAD I DID! I did also start Posher VA soon after snd that is when it took off. I need to learn how to schedule the clear out. I dont know how to do that yet! This was helpful and concise Ty! Did your sister keep going with it? Oh! Also. . I'm m "The Flippin Good Stuff" who won the bags from your sponsor (from your live) and I liked them so much Im going to order soon. So let them know the promotion give aways do work 😂😂

[@cayleyelaine]

Lol! Glad you like them and I will let them know. 😊 she actually did get rid of poshmark. She's still on the fence on whether that was a mistake or not lol

[@maryclarke9894]

Thanks for the video. As usual, it has super useful information. I just started the two week trial of Posher VA, and I'm already finding it improves my sales. After the two week trial, I will use your discount code, Cayley.

[@MeiMeicloset]

Cayley thank you so much. I’ve learned so much from you. Tax season is almost here. There is anyway you can explain to us please. How does Poshmark charge reseller income tax ? For example if I paid 4.99 $ , I sold 25$ I made 20$. Do I pay tax on the 25$ Or 20$ ? Sorry. I’m a new reseller I only have been doing for one year. ❤❤❤thank you so much.

[@hp4415]

You only have to pay tax on the amount after inventory cost/ shipping and posh fee. You don’t make $20 because you still have to pay posh fee. Talk to tax professionals because there are a lot of write off as well. Ps, posh don’t change you income tax, the fed and local government are

[@cayleyelaine]

I would definitely talk to a tax professional.

[@debbylynn]

Do you list everyday on Poshmark and roughly how many items do you list per day? Thanks! 😊

[@cayleyelaine]

We list 40 a day as of today.

I know nothing about Poshmark, but have been selling on eBay for years. As soon as I created a Poshmark account a bunch of people started following me within minutes. What that all about?

Question about closet clean out. At the end of it do your prices revert back to the original? I did one and when I went back to raise my prices back up the 10% everything was $1 cheaper than the original price.

[@cayleyelaine]

No, they do not revert back.

[@FPrice-jb8sl]

You have to copy that listing if the item doesn’t sell. Select edit on that item. Scroll to the bottom. Then click on the Copy Listing icon at the bottom. Then scroll up and put it back at the original sale price, click next and list. Once you do that , go back to the item that you dropped the price on and select delete listing.

Is it necessary to put woman’s since you have to categorize it anyway? Also, is there a way to surpass their 80 character limit? Thanks! Great tips!

[@cayleyelaine]

That title structure has been suggested by ebay for years so I just continue to use it regardless. No, it will not allow you to list if the title is too long.

[@sandilynn8010]

please help!! if i run a sale and lower prices, im not able to increase prices since poshmark stays at that lower price and you have to change the percentage you send offers. i think im going to have to copy and relist my entire closet since my prices and offers are all messed up. Suggestions

[@cayleyelaine]

I personally never go back and respect prices because if I'm running a sale on them, that means they have sat for some time and I just want to move them. Are these items you had for awhile or are they still items you'd pick up today?

[@hannahsamuelson3377]

Great informational video! Thanks for sharing!

[@candacereneejones]

Does PosherVA also share to the relevant parties and share when you name times?

[@cayleyelaine]

I'm not 100% sure. You definitely have that option on the regular share screen but when you click schedule it doesn't say that. However, I believe it's pulling the information from that same screen.

[@gailmurphy1163]

Do you raise your prices back up the discounted % after closet cleanout when they don’t sell?

Cayley - In looking at this Express top- what identifies this as a button down top? I don’t see buttons at the color corners, which to me is a button down. I’m trying to zone in on proper names for items and want to be sure I get them right. Thanks for this Poshmark video. I’m currently only on eBay and planning to start cross listing for 2024.

[@cayleyelaine]

Honestly I interchange button up and button down. I think the most important thing is the word button.

[@KristiWilson]

I wondered this as well. I had learned that: Button down has the small buttons on the collar corners. Button up is simply the regular buttons. Have I been wrong all these years?!

Totally agree. That's why I use posherva so I don't have to deal with the social aspects of it

As a beginner what can you expect to make on Poshmark and how long does it take to get there. Just figuring out how legit this all is and if it's worth investing the time. Thank-You.

[@cayleyelaine]

It really depends on the types of items you have for sale and how often you list. I would start by just listing stuff that you already have to see how it all works.

No Poshmark for us in Aussie any more I worked hard to build it felt like a bad breakup,😢

[@kayzarate2805]

You said you must “share” who do you share with?

[@cayleyelaine]

It's an action on poshmark to basically bring your item to the top of the search. I share with my followers.

[@metoast69]

just started listing on PM and getting a ton of the same messages like this one... does not seem legit at all... any thoughts? This item has truly caught my attention, and I feel it would be a perfect. I’m ready to proceed with the purchase on Poshmark, though having a few extra perspectives would be reassuring. There’s a note in my profile's 'About' section with the best way to reach me by email if that’s convenient for you. Looking forward to moving ahead🤩💕

If anyone suggests that you should contact them outside of Poshmark, it's a scam. You can report them by hitt8ng the flag icon next to their comment.

[@cayleyelaine]

Everyone is using it. I have never experience any issues. I think they recommend not sharing more than 6k times a day in total to keep poshmark from flagging. Posherva has a setting where you can set the limit so it stops once it reaches it. It seems much less risky than it used to be.

[@erindixon2877]

@@cayleyelaineI use a program for sharing and usually share about 8500 per day. I’ve never been flagged unless the program adds multiple share times(which happens from time to time). Then, the program can’t share because the share limit of 10K/ day has been reached. But, the share program resets after so many hours, which allows shares again.

[@elrusso8981]

You provide an incredible wealth of knowledge to this community, many thanks! Two questions: 1. Would you use the specific name of a garment over keywords? 2. How do you prioritize keywords when there is title character limit? There could be an entire video dedicated to item titles! You are right-- it certainly is a skill!

[@cayleyelaine]

Anything that I can't fit into the title, I out into the description. As far as prioritizing which ones to put in the title it really depends on the brand. For example free people, anthro, and brands like that benefit more from having the style name. Other brands like eileen fisher benefit more from having the material in the title. It takes a while to figure it out but after some time you learn what the customers of each brand are searching. If you want to study up you should search the brand and look up sold comps. See what keywords most of the solds say in their titles.
