Did Running Sales on Poshmark & eBay Boost My Sales in April?!?

In the first half of April, my sales were AWFUL. So I decided to run a markdown promotion sale on eBay and my own version of a "sale" on Poshmark using the My Shoppers feature. In this video, I share everything that sold for me in the first half of April on Poshmark and eBay.

I'm glad poshmark now offers the option to send offers to likers without having to offer discounted shipping as well

[@beckyparkco]

YES!!! is it permanent yet? I think the last time I checked, it depends on the day 😂

[@elizabethw.5941]

@beckyparkco yes it's permanent at least that's what poshmark says right now 😅 you might have to update your settings in your posher va though

[@Blueashes67]

Glad to hear I’m not the only one who had a rough April. The first two weeks were actually pretty great but the end of the month were terrible

[@beckyparkco]

At least you had a good start to the month!

[@emilyhope7721]

Here's a good tip i've heard- BUY a cheap suitcase at the thrift in LA, THEN pay to check it on the way home. That way you won't be paying checked bag fees twice!

[@beckyparkco]

YES!!! We have an American Airlines card and get one free checked bag to begin with, so I think I’m going to use that!!!

[@Thornedpicker]

​@beckyparkco I do this all the time when I travel. Then I sell the luggage on marketplace when I get home.

[@beckyparkco]

@@Thornedpicker THAT LAST TIP, THOUGH…

[@littlepunkinnn]

April was actually the biggest month Ive ever had! been reselling since 2020

[@beckyparkco]

That’s amazing! Hopefully your May is even bigger!!

[@MB-km5hh]

I had a good experience at the bins in LA. Most of the thrift stores were expensive and not the best brands. I’d recommend staying away from downtown and going to towns closer to the beach for seeing things.

[@beckyparkco]

Ooooooh thank you for these tips!!! We are going to a beach town for a few days - I’ll check out some thrifting options there. Thank you!

[@JOSHWHITEHEAD-kt9nb]

April 1st was my best day ever and April was one of my best months. I love garage sale season!!

[@beckyparkco]

Ahhhh that’s amazing!!! I’m so happy for you! I typically don’t have the best luck with traditional garage sales, but one can hope, right?

[@ladylei0]

When i visit my sister and i source in her area she loves me and will create 5lbs listings on poshmark and sell me my inventory for pennies with free shipping. Just another idea if you have someone willing to do this for you. She's a reseller too so we love using this method of we're going to the post office regularly anyways.

[@user-cg5th3iw5w]

My suggestion for LA is pray and pack! lol enjoy have fun wear something over your shoe soles if walking around I lived in LA for years glad I moved

[@adownlans4162]

Yup, LA is a cesspool now, so horrible.

[@dillonfosa]

great video! thanks for being real about sales unlike many youtubers nowadays.

[@beckyparkco]

Thank you for watching! Yeah…no way to fluff these numbers up in a realistic way-haha

[@almasthriftsandflips]

Hi Becky, I’ve been reselling for five years in April has been the lowest month for me ever since my reselling journey .love all of your content. Have a great day.

[@beckyparkco]

I’m so sorry to hear that 😭 Hopefully our Mays are better.

[@ancabadonka1]

There's a thrift store called Jet Rag that has $1 parking lot sales on Sundays

[@virginiavictorio1369]

April was the 2nd best month that I had in the past 12 months and I was on vacation for 15 days in April. I was on vacation from 3rd and arrived 17th. I ran some 30% sales throughout the month and it was pretty awesome. I only sell on poshmark, so I had my son mail out items while I was on vacation and while I was on vacation, I was sourcing. The #1 month from the past year was last July, I hope that I don't have those summer slow downs.

[@hiddentreasureskc]

Love your video's Becky!! Slow hear too! Take care and see you in LA in June!

[@beckyparkco]

Are you in LA???? Maybe we’ll run into each other!

[@Posh_Potential]

The bins in Glendale are FANTASTIC! The biggest bins in CA, I think the cashier said they have 80 that they flip over every hour and a half or so?

[@beckyparkco]

OMG! Thank you so much for this! I am going to put that on my “must do list”

[@virginiavictorio1369]

I'm heading to Glendale this weekend and the bins aren't on my list. I have mapped up all the goodwills that I want to go to. My husband is from there and he knows the area.

[@VoidedMirror]

You could tell how old the item is by the blue wall background 😅

[@beckyparkco]

THAT’S BC YOU’RE AN OG VIEWER AND I LOVE YOU FOR IT!!!

[@ghostlyMostly1]

I think the IRS has a method of deprecistion for clothing and goods like clothing.

[@ThriftyTherapist]

April was horrible for me 😅 not just you

[@rustyrose1960]

I used booth. Mark down sales & coupons. I usually use the mark down for items that I want to get rid of. More off better sales. And then I will sometimes put my new items at 10% off. I use the coupons a lot for people that have bought from me. I usually use 20% off so they will repeat buy. I find bigger discount does better. 10% off does not really work. The coupon I find does work well. Sometimes I will make one and share it through my Pinterest board. This helps a lot. Anything that is 1/2 year old I give a deep discount. I do this because I don’t have a lot of storage room and I like to keep inventory moving in and out. I only run it for a week. Then don’t run a sale for 2 or 3 days then put the sale back on. Sometimes at the same discount sometimes changing the discount slightly.

[@peglanglois4932]

sometimes i just relist because i have been selling a lot of stale items

[@Frankie_Bean7]

April was Wful for me as well

[@wsuatheart]

We get shoes in the goodwill bins in kent wa but they do the shoes on specific days

[@KacyKernan]

April was terrible! May is much better so far!! ;)

[@Katybug13]

On the plus Size Levi’s jeans- what does your Goodwill price denim at? Here in Iowa it is $9.79 a pair.

[@user-ms6rm1fc9x]

in Texas 13.99

What is a clothesman tour?

[@crazzylizlol]

I tried a buy one get one free offer on posh last week with no takers lol. Maybe it’s cause I only have 500 shoppers.

[@TheRealSherBear]

Can you share what you write as the poshmark comment when you run sales? Thank you!

[@beckyparkco]

It varies, but it’s typically along the lines of “thanks for checking out my closet! I’m running a 50% off sale until _____ on everything in my closet. Throw everything you’re interested in into the bundle, leave the comment “done” when you’re finished, and I’ll send you the offer with discounted shipping!”

[@TheRealSherBear]

@@beckyparkco Thank you so much!!

[@burktra]

Hi Becky, just a follow up to your answer to this question. If Poshmark (Posh Sidekick)has already sent them an automatic offer, how do you resend the offer with the new 50% deal with a shipping discount? Is this possible?

[@szashemashburn9288]

I do part-time reselling and live in Los Angeles. Let me know if you need any recommendations for thrift store locations.

[@beckyparkco]

ahhhhh I'd love any and all suggestions!!!

[@szashemashburn9288]

@@beckyparkco I like going to Goodwill in Glendale on Glenoaks. I’ve found many designer brands there. Parking isn’t great. There’s another Goodwill a few blocks away on San Fernando Rd./Sonora. There are a few thrift stores on Magnolia in Burbank. There’s a Goodwill there, too. It can be hit or miss with brands, though. Driving on the westside can be a drag and there is a lot of traffic; so I focus more on the San Fernando Valley. I also like a little Goodwill in Montrose (on Honolulu Blvd). La Cañada is a ritzy suburb, next to Montrose and they get a lot of high quality brands there. Just got Burberry flips flops there last week.

[@krishuber7209]

I see you are already getting great suggestions for thrifting. So I will add one of my favorite places to take my kids - LA Tar Pits! In the middle of downtown LA are bubbling puddles of tar and they excavate them to find ice age skeletons (woolly mammoths & more). Even adults find it fascinating. Other museums close by Peterson (autos) & LA county museum of art. So make a day of it!

[@sandracalderon6438]

Hi Becky, truly appreciated the eBay tutorial. I’ve been following you since Covid. That being said, I just have a quick question/suggestion. Idk if it’s as valuable to know where the item came from as much as how long it took to sell. For your seasoned watchers, we’ve heard I think every scenario. I know that sometimes it’s the first time for some but for a lot of us it’s not. Just a suggestion but can you spend more time on how long you’ve had the item vs where it came from? I’m just one viewer buy maybe others feel the same🤷🏾‍♀️??

[@bellesbottoms]

i know! i did 40% for a long weekend and sent it to 5k people. I had two buyers. Ugh!!
