I just started on postmark and you are my favorite person. I love your whole vibe and style. Thank you for sharing what you know. Your amazing!!!!

[@LorisBostonFound]

Thank you so much Susan. I'm so happy you connect with my content. I really appreciate you watching! xo

[@KelseyDawn]

Ive been loving your videos! I found you about a week ago and have watched so many of your videos. I recently decided to open my Poshmark closet and your videos have been so informative! I appreciate how open you are and I just love your personality!

[@LorisBostonFound]

Thank you so much Kelsey! Congratulations on opening your Poshmark sales. It's a lot of fun! Wishing you great success. xo

[@needleinthehaystackfinds]

Thanks so much Lori!! I totally enjoy ALL of your videos!

[@LorisBostonFound]

I'm so glad Mary! Thank you for watching!

[@bluewillowvintage3421]

Great video series Lori. I always learn something from you!!

[@LorisBostonFound]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@jenniferdowner5867]

I love your videos and I look forward to watching the last two in this series! My question for you is, what is the etiquette for using stock photos in your listing? I know that it’s technically not allowed by Poshmark, but people do it anyway. I try if possible not to use stock photos from someone reselling. I think I got one from a place called Lyst,. But if the only stock photo I can find is in Poshmark or another reselling site, can I “steal” their photo and use it in the final listing? Maybe you will go over this in later videos, but just asking in case you don’t...

[@ResellinMaryellen]

Great info video! Loved it! I am looking forward to giving Skill Share a try.

[@LorisBostonFound]

Great! They have so many classes Maryellen! I hope you enjoy it. xo

[@ResellinMaryellen]

Lori Tata Thanks, Lori! I am sure I will. :)

[@bethjacobs6845]

I am using the notebook system but this video helped me to see that as my closet is increasing as I grow my business that a spreadsheet and a haul to sale system would be great! Thanks for sharing

[@LorisBostonFound]

Thanks for watching Beth!

[@Melycast3]

Wouldn't you enter the items in the spreadsheet and then remove the tags? How do you know how much you paid per item when entering in the spreadsheet if you already removed the tag?

[@jsundance6368]

Your spreadsheet idea is really neat. It’s simple and individualized. Thanks for the ideas, insight and “grounding”. 💕This being said from the overthinker that I am😂

[@LorisBostonFound]

So glad it was helpful Karen! It's taken me some time to figure out what works for me. xo

[@cleocat562]

Maybe I'm missing something, but I can't seem to access where the private information is on a listing in Poshmark after it's sold?!

[@twillafaye515]

Lori, super informative video. I don't have a spreadsheet --- just a notebook:( But growing, so I will soon look into that & an inventory system. Your stock photos are for Poshmark right? Do you use them on eBay? I only do my own photos. Oh well, always learning. Thanks for part 3 --- they have all been extremely helpful with excellent content! Hope your pup is doing better!

[@LorisBostonFound]

I try to avoid using stock photos on EBay. They are such a controversial part of what we do.... Lucky is hanging in there. The anti inflammatory meds seem to have helped the pain management. He's got a little pep back. We are still carrying him everywhere but he's in better spirits.Thanks for asking! xo

[@twillafaye515]

@@LorisBostonFound Good news - sweet little guy:)

[@joannbass2505]

you just became my favorite seller. I loved this. I need a spread sheet my notebook is awful. I plan to rewatch this over and over. I like how organized and easy you make it. Also love your voice so calm and clear and to the point. at some point I need to learn to use my computer. I did not even know it was possible to do all the research from the same screen. Wow you blew my mind. Great content. .

[@LorisBostonFound]

I'm so happy you found this to be helpful. I just keep trying different things until something works! 😂 Thank you for watching!

[@Tavel614]

Great video, I learned a lot of what to do and perhaps what takes way too long. But mainly what to do.

[@Spongerobin1]

Thanks, Lori!!! I now know how to create a draft, and how to add my inventory info for my eyes only. Great video, as always.

[@LorisBostonFound]

Oh, great! I love that Private section on Poshmark!

[@veroe67]

Hola Lori, I am loving these series,! I am a novice in this biz; just selling my over stuffed closet for the moment, so I started with a notepad and a pen but my handwriting is so terrible and I have so many clothes that I have moved to a spreadsheet 😂. I actually find entertaining the process of figuring out what works for one 😉.

[@LorisBostonFound]

True! I just keep trying different systems until something works for me!! Thank you for watching!

[@wellness2holisticliving4u]

Did you develop that spreadsheet?

[@LorisBostonFound]

Yes, I included the info that was helpful for me. I may offer a free download through my website. Just looking into setting that up.

[@wellness2holisticliving4u]

@@LorisBostonFound That would be nice Lori, thanks.

[@dapperchef]

Very good information and tips! First!!

[@LorisBostonFound]

Thank you!

[@sissysweetp3764]

Love seeing the soup to nuts process! Thanks! As for inventory spreadsheets, I liked the basic format of the reports you can download from Poshmark’s “sales reports” area. I use the inventory report for intake and the sales report can be sorted in anyway I need to look at what is selling, average sale prices, etc . I run that report monthly but it can also be run cumulatively for the year. I’m only doing this part-time and so far these get the job done. I add sections for Mercari sales on the same spreadsheet to keep everything in one place. Always interested to learn better ways to manage this process!

[@LorisBostonFound]

That's a great system. Why reinvent the wheel? It's nice that Poshmark has those reports.

[@dapperchef]

Could you get a copy of your spreadsheet?

[@LorisBostonFound]

I'm working on posting a free download on my website.

[@trudymorris9981]

Are you using an Excel spreadsheet, table, or MAC? Thanks. I'm using a notebook right now, but want to start with the spreadsheet. Glad to know that private information is on Poshmark. Really learning a lot from you. Thanks.

[@LorisBostonFound]

Thank you Trudy. I created my spreadsheet using Numbers on my Mac.

[@martiwhite1]

Lori this info is great I haven't gotten to a spreadsheet yet I'm still using a notebook but thank you so much for your process 👏

[@LorisBostonFound]

Thanks for watching Marti. Happy to share.

[@meganb1282]

I would love to see a video about saving pieces.. for example, I picked up these amazing Tory Burch wedges but they have scuff marks on the wood wedge part. OR a silk blouse I picked up that has a stain. Do you ever have times where you take something to a dry cleaner to see if they can fix it? I worked at a dry cleaner as a teenager many years ago, and I was amazed at what they could do for stained and damaged garments.

[@LorisBostonFound]

Great idea. I'm not the best at repairs but I have a few tricks up my sleeve, lol!! Maybe in September.

[@jenniferp.bolling5335]

Thanks Lori! You always have such helpful info : ) I've gone without a clear inventory system for 1.5 years and it's really becoming unmanageable! I JUST started my spreadsheet last week and am reorganizing all 300+ items in my inventory. UGH . . . better late than never!

[@LorisBostonFound]

Ooh, that must be a great feeling Jennifer!! Did it take a long time? I'm hoping once I started adding SKU numbers I'll get into a zone..Thanks for watching!

[@jenniferp.bolling5335]

@@LorisBostonFound I love watching your videos! It is taking a long time to enter everything in, but it will be worth it in the end! I'm doing at least 1 tub per day right now. My inventory stickers should arrive tomorrow, so will add those as well.

[@lory6605]

I noticed that people listed those sneakers as m4d3 and others listed as MADE. So would you put in description both for the best search wording?

[@LorisBostonFound]

That's a good idea. The more key words the better!

[@sunshinedream7772]

I’m still using a pen and steno pad 😉 but it’s fast and works for me 😏

[@meghanthimjon3027]

The only way!

[@LorisBostonFound]

Tried and true!!

[@dominiqueendeavors]

Sometimes we Generation X-ers like to write stuff out...old habits die hard. 🤣 had this discussion with my sister about a planner. She couldn’t figure out why I bought a planner instead of finding an app for one 🤷🏽‍♀️🤣

[@LorisBostonFound]

I'm with you! I feel like really absorb something when I write it down. Gotta love a paper planner!

[@claudiapastor]

“My spreadsheet is quite primitive” 😂 talk to me about it... I actually downgraded myself from spreadsheets to “post it” notes... first let me tell you I watch you to relax and for entertainment and I love the long videos. I don’t sell clothes or shoes. I sell on Etsy, 100% vintage home decor hard goods, heavy breakables that cost a fortune to ship, with the occasional vintage jewelry... I found spreadsheets a waste of time as it was more complicated to find my items via spreadsheets than via my old big notebook... those draft-listing informations I actually set by hand on Post it notes after I have cleaned, pictured, weight and measured the new items... I do have SkU written in my old notebook. For each item, its location in my inventory, but I’m too lazy to go through and set them, one by one, on hundreds of items in my Etsy shop... guess we all have our bottlenecks 🤷🏻‍♀️ Have a fabulous week.

[@LorisBostonFound]

Haha, it is definitely primitive! I find the simpler, the better! I'm glad I'm not alone! xo

[@nikkig8549]

Hey Lori! I love your content but don’t get to watch many of your videos. I do follow a number of channels but it seems I only ever watch the shorter videos. I have limited attention span, it seems. Lol. But in seriousness, I watch KZbin when I’m between tasks so I tend to only watch the ones under 20mins, or up to 30mins before bed. Have you considered doing some short informational videos in between some of your longer hauls? I really like your content and style, I just never have time to sit down with your videos anymore 😔

[@LorisBostonFound]

I'm not the best at short videos NIkki! I'm sorry. I'm considering doing 3 videos per week and breaking things down a bit. I know a lot of people watch my video in two parts. xo Thanks for your feedback.

[@NurseSaysNAH]

We must have the same personality type-bc I LOVE your spreadsheet-can you email it to me?!😂😂😂

[@LorisBostonFound]

You like "primitive" spreadsheets like mine!! It's all yours! I'll email it!
