Hey guys! Just wanted to check in and say that my sales in the days following the filming of this video have been very slow, but I do think this could be attributed to several reasons beyond the new fee structure. First and foremost, I know a lot of us have been extremely concerned about our fellow Americans and their safety regarding the recent hurricanes. As a native Houstonian, I know how terrifying it can be and my heart goes out to anyone dealing with this currently. Online shopping is not the priority right now. I also have not listed anything new in the last few days which always leads to slower sales. Only time will tell how these changes made by Poshmark will actually affect sales, but for now I will be sticking to my normal work routine and hoping for the best. If you are in the southeast, please stay safe and take care. My thoughts and prayers are with you 🫶

Hoping this is the case, only because it has been incredibly slow for me too. I am a Posh Ambassador II and list consistently. October one of my best months until it came to a screeching halt a week ago. It's been like a seller's worst week in late summer. And it all started the day these new Buyer Protection Fees - 5.99% of the TOTAL sale which now includes tax, shipping and then on top of that an extra $1,$2 or $3 for the buyer. So here it is, 7 days later, with only 2 sales which is unheard of this time of year. I also sell on eBay too under another name but grateful to still see sales there. But as you said, I think worries about the upcoming election, the economy and the two hurricane disasters are understandably...really overshadowing things. :(

I just noticed the shipping “discount” feature, if you click on one of your listings, it will say “get $5.95 shipping from this closet” so, if you send an offer, with discounted shipping, it will be taken out of your earnings, but if you send an offer without discounted shipping, they still get $5.95 shipping, so, start sending the offers without shipping discount, at least that’s what I understand, if anyone else has a different understanding, please leave a comment.

My sales stopped after the fees, I think they are pretty bad because the mail already covers your packages if something happens to them, the insurance is included with the postage, so if a package gets lost they pay you and poshmark doesn’t take the money until the buyer accepts the item, so this is (bologna) please excuse my lenguaje, I received a very low offer and the buyer was so kind to explain to me why and it is because of the poshmark fees, I don’t know whats going to happen, I already wrote to poshmark about it, if we all poshmark sellers unite, we can make an impact, at least that’s what I think

I did the math on this multiple times and figured something out regarding the new fee structure. We as sellers actually make less money on average on lower priced items than if it had been the set 20% fee (I sold a $7 pair of socks and noticed I made less with the new structure than the set 20%). The break-even + point is somewhere in between the $20 - $30 sale price where sellers make money. I think Mckenzie you will be ok bc most of your items are within that range, but I have a lot of kids' clothes in my closet that don't sell for much, so I am going to have to change my tactics going forward on what I'm going to sell so that it makes sense for me.

My sales had slowed for the last couple of months and now very slow. I haven’t been listing much but working on my current inventory. One thing I have noticed that buyers offers are coming in at at least 50% off requests and I completely think this is due to new fee structure. I usually get things sold for 20-30 percent off….but agreed much more things to worry about right now. Unfortunately yesterday my neighbor 2 doors down had a house fire and lost everything including their pup. Luckily everyone else got out safely but it just really makes you re-assess things.

I haven't watched any of the Canadian youtubers on the fee changes, but as a Canadian seller, I don't see this ending well at all if it is implemented up here. Most of us don't have access to the low bins type pricing the US has, so we already have to price things higher. Add to that, the $13.50 shipping costs, and the fact that Canadians can pay upwards of 15% tax on shipping and purchases, adding another 6% to the price for a buyers fee couldn't possibly be good for anyone. Perhaps the changes won't happen here, but I think it is time to start really focussing on other platforms. It appears that Poshmark wants to limit themselves to the US only. 😕😕

shipping discounts only work for BUY NOW, and in this Beta test It only works for ambassadors, both buyers and sellers, not everyone qualifies, as there are buyers and sellers who are not ambassadors, they do not have the privilege of the discount or the fee, therefore if you send an offer with a shipping discount, keep doing it. From PK it depends on who qualifies or not, if you send offers manually you can check who is an ambassador or not, normally if someone is going to buy, they will counteroffer you for the offer because that person does not benefit from anything. That is why there is the other shipping discount, it only qualifies if you are active weekly listed, therefore you will have a discount on shipping in BUY NOW, whether or not you are an ambassador, you will have a discount only in BUY NOW.

I buy and sell on Poshmark. For me, I always enjoy buying from Poshmark because it is cheaper than buying stuff brand new. But with the new change, it really doesn't make sense to buy from Poshmark anymore. For example, I bought a used snowsuit for my baby. The price was listed for $35 but when everything is said and done, it is $51 total. as buyer you're already taking a risk buying on poshmark as items are not returnable. Additionally, you're buying a used item. With this new fee structure I might as well just pay an extra $5 or $10 and buy the item new. I'm just really upset with the new fee structure. It doesn't benefit sellers or buyers at all.

Even though Posh Ambassadors have that $5.95 shipping banner displayed on top of their closet, I honestly think that potential buyers click LIKE and forget that was being offered on a closet by the time they get the offer via Posher VA. I ALWAYS offered $5.95 shipping before. NOW all the buyer sees is an offer for the discounted item price but NO mention or reminder that they will ALSO get the discounted $5.95 shipping. I feel this is having a big impact on sales. So there probably thinking WOW, as a Buyer I now have to pay these ridiculous Buyer Protection Fees plus an extra 1.2, 3 dollars and THIS seller isn't even offering me discounted shipping! NEXT! It was absolutely terrible timing that Poshmark made these changes right at the beginning Q4, just when two hurricanes were about to hit and one month from a Presidential election. 😥

For sales under $20, we're actually making less money than before the change. I dont have many things under $20 but sometimes people offer and depending on the item and how long i've had it, i let the item go and im making less money so yay.

I truly believe there are going to be less buyers after the change, so you really won’t be making more in the long run. I think a buyer slightly older than you is much more aware of fees and won’t have it. Glad your sales are still going well though.

THEY are charging buyers fees to offer a chance to return an item if not correct. It is beyond terrible. I bet some buyers don't realize the extra fees being added yet. This same fee structure has killed Mercari. Poshmark is being very greedy. Their profits have pretty much doubled. It is going to ruin Posh.

Buyers will not find out now but they will eventually. It’s a bit hidden with the taxes so they’ll have to do the extra work to see it. Poshmark is a greedy company. I have been selling on the website for 15 years now and it’s all about money for them.

Poshmark is paying for Shipping $5.95 until end of this year only due to the change with the 5.99% etc.! Everybody's Sales will go down! Your sales and you were lucky a lot of Buyer don't know yet and it was the first weekend again you were lucky you will see!

I think it's also important to try to stay positive. If you're so sure that your sales will decrease then they definitely will!

Don’t send discounted shipping. If you do, it overrides their $5.95 shipping offer & you will pay for it.

I send the offers out with the 5.95 shipping because I want them to see that they are getting the 5.95 shipping. It looks like it will take it out of your earnings but I've checked every time I had a sale and it's never come out of my earnings.

I like the change actually. Like you said, it gives you more wiggle room. People that are saying it is the worst and it has tanked their sales are being a little dramatic at this point. It’s like watching the stock market daily, you need to look at it over time. Also loving the $5.95 shipping! Wonder how much they will want to charged for that after the end of the year.
@Mcthriftzie2 ай бұрын
Yes exactly, it will take time to know for sure. And also if sellers list less because they are now less motivated, that will contribute to slower sales but the fee structure change will be blamed. I am going to try to keep everything as close to the same as possible.

Makes me no difference if we make a little more money if there are no sales. It’s unfair to buyers and will be devastating to sellers. My sales have been decimated. I always had daily sales. No more.

Mine have really declined also! I believe they are working to change the new fees though.

Posh offers the discounted 5.95 shipping automatically until the last day in december. HOWEVER, any offer your VA send out will be paid by you! Turn it off until Dec 31st. Remember, you are paying seller fees or 1,2,3 dollars plus 5.999% on sales tax AND the postage. So is the buyer.
@Mcthriftzie2 ай бұрын
Yes! That is why I was saying it's hard for me to quickly calculate how much my projected fees will be now because I don't know the sales tax beforehand - that is the part that I dislike. I wish it was just a percentage of the sale price only.

Hey McKenzie! If you give discount shipping, you're paying for all of it unfortunately!
@SheilaHammond-uv9je2 ай бұрын
No not true. I was not charged for the discount shipping fee $5.95 even though I included in my offer.
@jjoannej2 ай бұрын
@SheilaHammond-uv9je That's because you offered the same $5.95 discount Posh is Laready offering. For example, if you give $4.99 or free shipping instead of the $5.95 that Posh is offering, you pay for the whole shipping discount instead of maybe paying the difference from $5.95... So far, I'm not a huge fan with Posh's new policy.

@@jjoannej I was offering $5.95 shipping and am a Posh Ambassador II. They were charging me $2.02 extra because I offered it separately. I went back and forth with Poshmark Support about this and they told me NOT to offer any discount at all, otherwise I would pay the difference between the $7.97 and $5.95.
