Are you ready to declutter your closet and make some extra cash from your unused fashion items? Poshmark is here to help! In this blog, we’ll walk you through the process of listing your first item on this mobile-friendly marketplace. So, let’s dive in and get started!
What is Poshmark?
Poshmark is a social commerce marketplace where you can buy and sell mainly secondhand fashion, home goods, and electronics. It’s a fantastic platform for turning your unwanted items into cash while helping others find great deals. Whether you have clothing, shoes, accessories, or more, there’s a place for it on Poshmark.
Getting Started on Poshmark
Before you start listing your items, it’s essential to know that Poshmark is currently available in the United States, Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, and India. So, if you reside outside of these countries, you won’t be able to enjoy the benefits of Poshmark. For the purposes of this blog, we’ll focus on the United States.
Becoming a Posh Ambassador
As you become more active on Poshmark, you can aspire to become a Posh Ambassador (PA). Posh Ambassadors are members of the Poshmark community with access to special benefits due to their high activity on the platform. To become a PA, you’ll need to meet specific criteria, including:
- Sharing at least 5,000 items from other Poshers’ closets.
- Self-sharing your own items at least 5,000 times.
- Discovering and sharing items from at least 50 new closets.
- Having at least 50 available listings in your closet.
- Making at least 15 sales.
- Maintaining an average rating of at least 4.5 stars.
- Achieving an average ship time of less than 3 days.
- Leaving at least 1 Love Note for another Posher.
Becoming a Posh Ambassador not only boosts your credibility but also makes buyers more confident in purchasing from you.
Poshmark Fees and Payment Options
Poshmark’s fee structure is straightforward. For sales under $15, Poshmark charges a flat commission of $2.95, and you keep the rest of the sale price. For sales of $15 or more, you keep 80% of the sale price, and Poshmark’s commission is 20%. Once your sale is delivered and received by the buyer, the earnings from your sale are yours to spend within the app or withdraw as cash. You can choose between two payment methods: Poshmark credits or direct deposit, making it convenient for you to access your earnings.
Shipping Made Easy
Poshmark offers low-rate domestic shipping fees, all done through USPS Priority mail. You won’t have to worry about calculating postage for items under 5 pounds, and you can obtain shipping boxes free of charge from USPS, saving you money on packaging supplies.
Returns on Poshmark
Poshmark has a strict return policy. Returns are only permitted if the item is counterfeit or doesn’t match the description. In other words, the item must have a defect that the seller did not disclose or be a different size than what was listed. This policy ensures transparency and trust within the Poshmark community.
