I agree 100%. I was totally confused before finding this video, now it makes perfect sense. I sell a lot of jeans and shoes, so I am not sure how I feel about $4 per pound extra if a person buys several things. That could eat into profit fast, especially if you are running a sale.

The only thing I would add is that the Priority Mail TYvek Envelopes are basically free polymailers. Super strong and perfect for most clothing.

[@AmberResells]

Definitely! For anyone who is reading this... If you want to know how to order the priority mail shipping supplies including the Tyvek envelopes, I show myself ordering on the USPS website at the end of this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fn3NY52daritoqc

[@dawndavenport1279]

If it won't fit in your mailbox, you can log into the USPS website and request pickup at your residence. Free if you schedule during your carrier's regular route. I just stack them on my front porch.

Good tip! I should have mentioned this! However, I will say that i have tried porch pickup with no success, even when i put a sticky note reminder on my mailbox.

Hi there so im new to Poshmark and iwanted to know more on how it works

[@yolemeza2856]

I have multiple questions I know this video was a year ago but I hope you can see this and respond I’m new to that and I have multiple questions 1. So you can’t use like a bag (small) to ship with the label on or it’s like completely necessary to have a brown box and the ups boxes and 2. How exactly do I pay for the shipping because you said if it can fit on your mailbox just put it there. Meaning that you don’t have to pay? If you put it in your mailbox

[@RockyMountainResale]

I hope this video stays evergreen for you. The only thing I guess you could have mentioned was "as of Jan 2021". I wonder how long we'll stay at the $7.11 price? Curious to see if they will raise alongside the future postal increases, or if they'll eventually be forced to implement a new shipping model.

[@AmberResells]

I hope so too. It isn't ranking well yet.

[@hiker64]

What about dimensions and if the package is larger than 1,728 (one cubic foot)? In Ebay world there is a surcharge for larger packages. Thank you for this video!

[@DealuCloset]

You can use any priority box or envelopes except for priority express.

[@AmberResells]

This is true. For anyone who is new to Poshmark and reading this, go to 2:27 of the video to see a normal priority mail shipping envelope. The Express packages will say EXPRESS under Priority Mail and will have blue stripes instead of red.

[@abbyhope8163]

Does it cost money to get the label if i don’t have a printer at home or the boxes? Like if i just brought the item into the post office with the shipping sticker on my phone will it cost anything ?

Cant beat poshmark shipping unless its over 5 pounds...great information 💯🦋

[@katrinakatrina5932]

What happens if During Closet Clear Out you lower the price of a heavy item, let's say 6 lbs, by 10% to trigger the discounted shipping and someone buys it? Do they still pay $3.99 or $4.99 (and why does it sometimes do either of those) and then the extra $4 for being over 5 lbs taken from what I earn?

Super helpful! I’m a first time seller on Poshmark. If I decide to pay for shipping (because I’m trying to get rid of a bunch of clothes 😅) where do I pay it at? At the post office or on the app?

[@AmberResells]

On the app! Go to your listing, click edit, then choose something on the “discounted shipping” section.

Can I get explanation I have customer she purchased to my dress which I listed but I can’t get the money and label and it asking me put my card what do can someone explain please

Hey I was wondering what If a customer does a scam purchase would Poshmark let there payment go through? Are scam purchases something a seller on Poshmark should be worried about?

[@callyburkle]

Had a customer buy 4 items not in a bundle. I think he paid shipping on each item. I will use 2 shipping labels or maybe one to keep it under 5 pounds. Can he ask for a credit on the shipping I don’t need. Plus the system shows like it didn’t ship.

[@BlessedBaubles]

I'm a loooong time eBay/Amazon seller so please be patient with me because I'm so used to being able to charge actual shipping cost and adjust the shipping the better I can do in packaging it. Especially light jewelry items that can be shipping first class. In addition, Amazon allows us a few pennies extra to cover our shipping costs like tissue paper, nice ribbons, all the things poshmark wants us to ship with. Hmmm. Question... should I have this percentage discount on, on my listings? I thought it would give a combined shipping discount or something like that. But now, I'm not sure. This over 5 pound cost scares me!! How are our buyers going to want to buy more than one item if they all cost over $7 each to ship? I just know, the first thing I'd do is email a seller and ask if they will coming shipping when I want more that one if their items. So... am I going to get 100 emails asking the same thing? If I do, what do I say? I feel really creepy about this shipping practice on posh because it's not really the actual cost that my buyer could pay on light items and someone is making a LOT of money here. ?? Help. Thank you.

[@AmberResells]

Here is a link to the scale I use. It is $24. amzn.to/2TL1FhG You can also just go without one. As long as you aren’t selling super heavy boots or a bunch of items to the same person, you won’t go over 5 pounds. On Poshmark, you really only need to weigh the package if you think it might be over 5 pounds.

[@justcallmebluu]

What happens when someone buys multiple items each with its own shipping label?

First time seller on PM . First sale went sideways due to tech difficulties. PM has locked down my account. No access to shipping labels. Canadians use Canada Post in conjunction with USPS? That part was never explained by PM. $7.11 USD. Any idea how much cdn? it wont directly convert straight over to cdn, I gaurantee that.

[@jenlal3788]

Ty!! So when the items weigh more than 5 pda do you just pay that extra or inform the customer you will pay more. What do you think is best to make the sale? Super helpful vídeo!

[@4sendoutcards]

Also wondering this

[@amandabryan1484]

Thank you for this video Amber! This might be a dumb question, but... are we expected to have a postage scale to know if our packages are over 5 lbs? That seems like it kind of defeats the purpose of Poshmark's simplified shipping! I haven't run into any problems so far, and I stort of just try to estimate if it seems like it weighs more than half my cat, but that's not exactly a failsafe method.

[@AmberResells]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I love your method! My first method was to weigh myself and then weigh myself with the package. Then my second method was to take it to the post office to be weighed if I thought it was close. Then I'd go buy an upgraded label if needed. Then finally, I just bought a $25 package scale on Amazon.

[@amandabryan1484]

@@AmberResells I should probably just go ahead and get one, too. I've tried the weighing myself with/without the package method but I don't trust my bathroom scale to be accurate to the pound like that (this is possibly a self-serving distrust, LOL!).

[@AmberResells]

😂😂 Yes, I decided the weighing myself method wasn't very reliable.

[@christinelimbers1005]

Why would Poshmark suspend my account for something about a shipping label? I only accepted a sale for a pair a jeans I listed it for $13 she asked to buy it for $4 and I said yes. The next day my account was deactivated 😥 I was trying to be nice and just get something for the item. Do you know why this would happen? I didn't do anything else but add followers and try to follow others. I am always nice to people. I've put 60 items on the app. I took my time, tried to make everything look nice, I listed measurements and condition as well as size. It makes me sad because I did all that work and it's gone. I don't even know what I did wrong. Thank you I appreciate being able to post here.

[@RyotaAkashi]

Question here, im shipping mens puffer vest, it’s pretty big and bulk when I folded it. Can i use the Large flat rate box to ship it? Or are we only allowed to use the large flat rate box for orders over 5 lbs?

You can use the large flat rate for it.

[@teresal8486]

I wish there was an option to print labels for Priority Mail and Priority Flat Rate Mail. I always get some pushback from a few post offices saying they can’t accept a flat rate box because the label doesn’t say it.

@@SusanGFoxyMama they argue that the label itself doesn’t say flat rate, it only says priority so I always dump the packages and run before they say anything lol

Thank you for the info. I just want to make sure I am understanding correctly. I have no transportation and when selling on Ebay I have the USPS pick up and hand them the package. It seems like you are saying it has to fit in the mailbox or you have to deliver it to the USPS and you are not able to actually put in a request for pick up but can not give it by hand to the Postman. Can you let me know if I am understanding this correctly. If this is the case I will not be able to sell on Poshmark.

@@AmberResells Thank you so uch for your reply :) I appreciate it greatly

[@ddulitz83]

If it is over 5lbs am I required to use their label and pay the $4 per pound or can I do a usps label on my own and upload the tracking number to poshmark? Because at that point if I ship in a flat rate box, I may be able to get it cheaper than the extra $4 per pound.

[@AmberResells]

Yes, you are required to upgrade it within Poshmark and use their label. Another option would be to reach out to the buyer and ask if they can cancel and order the items separately. You could offer them $8 off the price to make up for the second shipping cost. That option is pretty risky though because that relies on the buyer trusting you and understanding what to do.

[@zion4453]

Hi thanks for the video. How many days i need to ship the order once placed by the buyer? Is there a timeframe for seller to send to usps

[@jackiehaldorson3503]

I believe they recommend 3 days, but if you haven’t shipped by 7 days the buyer has the option to cancel the order
