I like that you use the large red arrow to notate a damage. I’m gonna do that. I always learn a lot from your videos. Thank you for your knowledge.

[@Portuguesepierogi]

Please keep making videos! I’m always happy to see a new one 😊🎉 I learn a lot from you 😊

[@SandraTheMomBoss]

Thanks! Happy to hear that.

[@ijk5293]

Keep doing what you are doing and ignore the negative people. Thank you for great videos. ❤

[@SandraTheMomBoss]

Thank you, I will!

[@mercedesbee6582]

Totally agree on picking off season items!! I got so many boots and sweaters, including cashmere and merino wool, over the summer. It was a gold mine!

[@anagalva3406]

Love your videos! can you do a video showing how or where on the article do you check for stains, rips, snags etc... on the clothing, do you buy with some stains or damage or you leave those behind how do you decide when to take it home or leave it even if it's not perfect and if you do it at the place your buying or when you get home, like how you go about it, you can do it there not necessarily in the thrift shop or where ever to show us, thank you.

[@deborahveryking6441]

Love your videos! So.much information!

[@SandraTheMomBoss]

Thanks so much!

[@mandunsekpongthriftfinds]

Hello Sandra great sales ! Wow buying shoes for $30+ and profiting $17 is risky for me. Overall you are a wealth of knowledge and information ❤

[@SandraTheMomBoss]

Yeah, paying that much wasn't a great idea. Glad the videos are helpful!

[@ladettea1qaanderson908]

Thanks💕

[@mariacastellanos513]

HI Sandra, I finally dipped my toes on Poshmark, but my sales are not so great 😔. Your videos are great! I have learned a lot from them. I sell on Mercari & have recently started on Poshmark. I hope my sales pick up soon. THANK YOU 😊

[@SandraTheMomBoss]

Make sure your listing new items often and sharing a whole bunch. I hope your sales pick up on Poshmark. Thanks for watching and supporting!

Love your voice, l bet you can be a teacher for any difficult course or subject 😅 and your students will not sleep on you. Very comforting voice 😂. I've learned a lot. Thanks

[@SandraTheMomBoss]

Thank you! 😃

[@CarolGuidi-r8f]

Thanks for your nice and thorough video. I have been disappointed in my shoe sales thus far. Initally it was an appealing category because of the "high" asp. However, they do take up a lot of space and the sizes are SO specific. Also they can be heavy and expensive to ship - especially men's dress shoes. Also, shoes actually get WORN, meaning they deteriorate so you have to be careful when purchasing and only upon close examination do the flaws appear. This is all not to mention THE CLEANING! It's time consuming and kinda gross. That said, I do believe I have a good eye for a quality leather shoe that is classic. As always, there are some surprises. I sold a Badgley Mischka espadrille sandal almost overnight that I got cheap at a local thrift. Some J. Crew espadrille wedges got returned because they run very small. I am hesitant to even list that item again. So far, I have not listed any boots as it will be my first winter coming up. I dread the storage requirements for these. I will keep watching your channel to learn how to maximize this category. You seem like you've got it!

[@SandraTheMomBoss]

I feel you on those cons to shoes. It was definitely a learning process. Till this day I bring home shoes with flaws that should be obvious but was not at the thrift store. Storage is starting to be an issue here too. I like everything else about selling shoes though. With cleaning I try not to pick up anything that needs more that 4 or 5 minutes to clean. Unless it's really worth it. Hope fall and winter are exceptionally good for you though!

[@rollingwiththerichards2228]

Thank you for this video. How do you package knee high boots for mailing when most don’t fit in the large priority mail box the post office offers?

[@SandraTheMomBoss]

I use boxes I get from my personal online orders. When I run out of those I use these large brown boxes I purchase on Amazon: amzn.to/3U2lr5p

[@rollingwiththerichards2228]

[@God_is_Great_1]

Hey Sandra I am looking to have a posh mark sale from old inventory and just to get rid off a lot of items, right now my sales are doing good. Around which season or time do you recommend to do this sale and how should I go about? Do you have a video?

[@SandraTheMomBoss]

Any time is a good time to run a sale. I'd say use the "My Shoppers" tool to send a message to all likers and past buyers notifying them about your sale. To give you an idea here's the message I used in the past: "Hey there, I'm running a 50% Off END OF YEAR SALE today. If you buy 2 or more items you’ll get 50% off your entire order. Simply ❤ or bundle the items you're interested in from my closet, comment "done" below, & I'll send you the offer. Feel free to reply here with any questions. Happy Poshing!"

[@MaryRobinson-eo1ux]

Thank you! So for Naturalizer, do you pick them up based more on style?

[@SandraTheMomBoss]

The new tag I'd say more based on price and condition because for the most part all new tag Naturalizers are solid styles. The older tag more based on style because those are sometimes too outdated and not trendy.

[@VIAGLO]

I don't know how you have the patience for shoes, I hate them so much lol great sales!

[@SandraTheMomBoss]

Thanks Gloria! I have no idea why I was drawn to this niche. The only issue is starting to be space 😑

[@heleng4261]

Thanks!

[@SandraTheMomBoss]

Thank you!

[@hardinglis]

September was thin for me... hoping for better results in october. I feel like I'm doing all the right stuff, but just don't have the sales I'd like to see. Just keep swimming.... just keep swimming....

[@SandraTheMomBoss]

Hope October is better for you!

[@Project2013B]

Doesn't clothing in general have a high return rate?

[@SandraTheMomBoss]

No. It depends on brand, color, size, and so many other factors.

[@ocoangel05]

Hi if a customer as if the shoe is true to size what do you tell them ? I have no idea what to answer . Thank you

[@SandraTheMomBoss]

These is the message I have saved on textblaze to respond "I'm sorry these aren't my size. I'm not sure if they run small or big." I used to go out of my way to Google wheather the brand runs big or small. Then I would add ".. but according to a Google search this brand usually runs small/big."

[@sussannekeith5676]

How are you doing this? What about the new fees. Is it better to cross list than really on one platform? ?

[@SandraTheMomBoss]

I'm not worried about the new fees. Eventually they'll just be the new normal. But yes it's a good idea to always have at least 2 platforms going. That way when one is slow (due to changes or something else) the other will sustain you.

[@mst6456]

I just got started and I am suspicious of an email sent to me. It said that someone has bought my item but I need to input card info. Is that how it's done?

[@SandraTheMomBoss]

No. That's not how sales work. They pay poshmark and poshmark sends you the shipping label. Don't interact with "buyers" via email. Keep it all on the app.

[@mst6456]

@@SandraTheMomBoss Got it!

[@shellyjohnson2008]

Do you have an opinion on Poshmark’s new fees?

[@SandraTheMomBoss]

I like it so far.

[@miryamhiatt3528]

I wonder how you do to find out if the shoes are Vintage?

[@SandraTheMomBoss]

The only ways I know is Google lens and (when you're lucky) the shoes will have the year on the tag.

[@Janus2.0]

YIKES!! THATS HALF, LITTLE LESS, OR OVER!!

[@mst6456]

DO YOU HAVE A VIDEO EXPLAINING BUNDLES ONLY?

[@SandraTheMomBoss]

I don't but I shall make one.

[@MsBelomorkanal]

Hello! Why did you stop selling clothes, if you dont mind sharing?

[@SandraTheMomBoss]

Shoes were more profitable for me at the time, I sold shoes faster, and there are so many in my area. The only drawback with this business model is that shoes take up more space :(

[@MsBelomorkanal]

@@SandraTheMomBoss Ok. Thanks)

[@Theloveempress]

How big is your ebay store? How many items?

[@SandraTheMomBoss]

It fluctuates, but I keep anywhere from 900-950 items.

[@Theloveempress]

@@SandraTheMomBoss Thank you. I’m thinking of shifting slowly to shoes from clothes. Your content is super helpful. ❤️

[@MyBlessed1]

How many items do you list daily?

[@SandraTheMomBoss]

About 7. Sometimes a little more.

[@Dana-vq1tk]

IMHO. I think the croc Nauterilzers is more for an older target market then PoshMark.

[@SandraTheMomBoss]

Good point!

[@Dana-vq1tk]

Oops I meant selling neutralizer on Depop isn't the best target audience. But selling on Poshmark might be better. I can't edit your flood my store with listing next pay day.

[@tamarkohnmarks5394]

We don’t find any of this kind of shoes in Thrift Stores

[@SandraTheMomBoss]

I guess it's a location thing.

[@Janus2.0]

Didnt you publish this video already? I could have sworn i watched this already! 🤔

Not this specific video, but I do publish these once a month.

[@youloseimthewinner]

Nope it sucks. Worst 4th quarter ever thus far on top of worst year. Probably should really stop posting all this stuff as you just continue to encourage more resellers and do nothing but piss off the buyers cause they assume we are ripping them off so Social media is killing our hustle

[@Portuguesepierogi]

She’s been doing this for years and she is seasoned in this industry. It’s helpful.

[@SandraTheMomBoss]

I don't think resellers posting informative videos is the issue. Otherwise everyone's sales would be low and we'd all be out of business. Hope you figure out what is causing your low sales and that your sales get better.

[@youloseimthewinner]

@@SandraTheMomBoss do you pay attention to other forms of social media cause it's not just me lol. 🤣🤣🤣 It's everyone who is willing to admit it or paying attention to their numbers. Yes social media is part of the problem of posting how to this, what to find, etc.

[@SandraTheMomBoss]

@@youloseimthewinner I'm not active on social media. I guess you have a point. Without social media there would be a lot less competition, but also without social media (mainly KZbin), I wouldn't know about reselling. I learned (and continue to learn) brands, systems, selling techniques, and other tips from other resellers to get me started. There are always going to be issues that arise with any business whether it's an increase in competition or something else. You either have to learn new strategies, pivot, and make it work, or decide to switch to a different line of work.

[@youloseimthewinner]

@@SandraTheMomBoss I get it. Trust me I do. That's how I learned more about it all too but eventually when it starts to affect your own business in the amount of information we just willingly share then hopefully people will take a step back cause look at half the people commenting on here. Most are all newbies. Yes it affects your algorithm and commission from YT but if you look at YOY stats you should be seeing a decline like everyone else. Google it. There are soo many forums and platforms talking about this and long time resellers experiencing the same . This isn't my full time job so I'm not concerned and don't need to occur or change anything. I'm not hurting like many others. We just need to stop handing out trade secrets and tips. The markets are oversaturated with too many resellers and not enough buyers

[@karlamolina1940]

Hi :) Sandra I’m new to Poshmark I open my account like 5 months ago can I still add your Referral Code? And if I can how can I do that?

[@djdannycosmo]

Sandra the Mom boss please do videos for posh refugees trying hard to push for sales on depop and ebay I am so sad and even now when I get sales on posh they are so low because it's obvious buyers are fleeing and until manesh gets forced out I need another platform because mercari is really slow
