Seller Updates

Thank you for sharing your feedback on our first Seller Update of the year. We’re listening, and we’re using what you shared to improve how we communicate with sellers and provide clearer, more helpful updates to support your business on Poshmark.

What’s Coming Up

  • Overweight Shipping Labels: We’ve heard that shipping heavier items on Poshmark can feel complicated. To make this easier, we’re simplifying how overweight shipping labels work by moving to flat-rate pricing. We want sellers to feel confident when choosing the right label for heavier items. Once this is live, we’ll share details in our Support Center.*
  • Bulk Smart Sell: We’ve heard from many of you that Smart Sell has helped simplify pricing and offer management, but we understand you need more flexibility. Soon, we’ll test a new way for sellers to enable Smart Sell across multiple listings at once, making it easier to automate selling at scale.
  • Combine Orders: We’ve heard your feedback about combined orders and are making adjustments to reduce confusion. We’ll share more details soon.
    • What’s changing: Orders are eligible to be combined from the same buyer 3 hours after purchase (previously 24 hours)
    • What’s staying the same: Buyers can continue to make additional purchases from the same seller within 24 hours of their first purchase across both shows and catalog listings. Sellers can opt to combine if they choose to. ** Last Updated 2/6/2026.

What We’re Testing

We’re continuously experimenting to improve both the seller and buyer experience on Poshmark. We’re excited to share early visibility into some of our feature tests. These may roll out gradually, be available to a limited group, evolve over time, or not launch based on what we learn from community feedback.

  • Text My Order: For sellers who opt into SMS notifications, we’re testing text reminders to help prevent delayed shipments. Sellers may receive a text notification to ship an order if it has not been shipped within 5 days.*
  • SEEL Returns (Worry-Free Returns): We’re testing a new optional buyer protection powered by SEEL. This is a buyer-paid add-on at checkout and does not affect the seller’s shipping, earnings, or payouts. The goal is to give buyers added confidence and help sellers convert more sales by allowing buyers to opt into coverage for return reasons like fit or changed mind.*
    • For Buyers: Worry-Free Returns, powered by SEEL, can be added at checkout and offers additional flexibility beyond Posh Protect. This includes returns for reasons like fit issues or a change of mind. Buyers will have up to 7 days from delivery to initiate a return directly with Seel.
    • For Sellers: Your earnings and payout timing will not be impacted. Worry-Free Returns are handled entirely by Seel, and returned items are sent back to Seel, not to you. No action is required from sellers.
  • Find more details in our Support Center.

Posh Preview January

As we step into a new year, we want to start with a sincere thank you. Your dedication helped make 2025 our strongest holiday season yet. We know Poshmark has evolved over the past year, and we’re excited to keep building together in 2026.

We’re introducing Posh Preview, a quarterly update designed to give you more transparency into Poshmark’s priorities. At the start of each quarter, you’ll get a look at what we’re working on and have the opportunity to share feedback to help shape what’s next. 

This Quarter’s Priorities

These are the priorities our team is hard at work on for the first quarter of 2026.  

Providing Transparency for Sellers

We want you to have visibility to new features and app updates in real time. We have launched an in-app Seller Updates hub that will be updated when we make meaningful app improvements and launch new features. It can be found in the app by going to your closet, clicking on Seller Tools > Community & Support > Seller Updates. On the web, use the Account drop-down in the upper right hand corner. 

Simplifying In-App Notifications

We’ve heard feedback that too many in-app notifications can feel overwhelming. When everything shows up at once, it’s harder to spot what matters most, like offers and sales, and this can clutter the News tab. 

We’re streamlining and organizing notifications to make your experience clearer and more focused. The first change you’ll notice is that Shares and Followers notifications will no longer appear in the All section of the News tab and will instead live in their own dedicated sections.

Refreshing the App Experience

We’re working on a refreshed app experience to make shopping and selling simpler, smarter, and more inspiring. You may have noticed that some elements of this refreshed experience have already rolled out, including the new Listing Page view. 

We’re continuing to test and refine the experience with input from a small group of sellers and will be sharing a seller preview before the full rollout. This preview will give you early visibility and time to get familiar with the experience ahead of launch. 

Giving You More Insights

You’ve asked for more visibility into how your listings perform. Later this quarter, we’re introducing listing-level data so you can understand which items are getting the most interest, allowing you to spot trends in your closet and better manage your business. 

Building Buyer Trust Together

We want shoppers to feel confident buying on Poshmark. Reliable order fulfillment and fast shipping help build trust and keep buyers coming back. We’re introducing a new policy to encourage timely order fulfillment. Sellers who cancel more than 3% of orders within a rolling 90-day period may see their accounts placed in a restricted state. This excludes buyer-requested cancellations and cancellations for bundling with another order. Learn more by reviewing our Seller Policy and reach out to Support if you believe you have been restricted in error.

How You Can Be Successful

As Poshmark continues to evolve, focusing on the below fundamentals will help set you up for success. 

  • Focusing on listing quality. Create clear, detailed listings with strong photos, accurate titles, and helpful descriptions. Learn more about how to optimize your listings for discovery on Poshmark and Google by attending the List Smarter, Sell Better webinar on January 30th. RSVP here
  • Sourcing trending and relevant inventory. Stay in tune with what shoppers are looking for by refreshing your closet regularly and paying attention to trending categories and brands. Check out Poshmark’s January BOLO Guide
  • Providing great customer service. Build trust with buyers with quick responses to questions and offers, accurate and detailed listings, fulfilling orders quickly, quality packaging and fast shipping. 

Getting USPS Supplies Just Got Easier

We’re excited to roll out a new update for our seller community: you can now order USPS Ground Advantage supplies directly within the Poshmark app in just a few taps.

This new in-app feature makes it faster and simpler to get boxes and mailers for all your Poshmark orders, without phone calls or emails.

HOW IT WORKS

  • Head to your Account Tab > My Seller Tools > Request USPS Supplies.
  • Choose the box or mailer types you need and select your desired quantities.
  • Confirm your delivery address and submit your request!

Note: This feature is rolling out gradually and may not be available to all sellers yet.

We’ll take it from there. Your order is sent directly to USPS for fulfillment, and once it ships, you’ll receive tracking information via email. You can also track the order status right in the app. 

Before getting started, here are a few helpful details to keep in mind. 

Things to remember:

  • USPS Ground Advantage packaging is exclusively for Poshmark orders.
  • Moving forward, please order packaging only through the app, as phone and email ordering options will be phased out.
  • You can place one order at a time and submit a new request once your current order has been delivered.

January 2026 BOLO Guide

What to List in January

A new year brings fresh energy, and January is one of the best months to set your closet up for success. Shoppers arrive with events on the calendar, gift cards to spend, and a strong mindset around refreshing their wardrobes. Based on what we’re seeing on Poshmark, here’s what’s trending in January and how you can take advantage.


January Shopping Mindsets to Know

As you decide what to list, keep these shopper behaviors in mind:

  • Event dressing, including winter formals, school dances, charity galas, and early prom shopping
  • New Year resets focused on fitness goals, routines, and lifestyle refreshes
  • Wardrobe refresh, replacing staples after the holidays
  • Treat-yourself shopping driven by gift card redemptions and post-holiday splurges

Prom Dresses, Eveningwear, and Occasion Pieces

Formal dresses and eveningwear are some of the top-performing categories throughout the month.

Premium brands shoppers are searching for: 

These brands tend to attract high-intent buyers and can be great anchor listings for your closet.

Mid-tier brands that drive quick conversions:

These labels offer more accessible price points and are great for building momentum.

Don’t forget occasion jewelry
Brands like Kendra Scott, David Yurman, and Swarovski often complement formal outfits. Think of jewelry as an easy add-on that helps complete the look.

Footwear that performs well:

Clear photos, accurate details, and competitive pricing go a long way in these categories.

Western Footwear and Denim

Brands like Ariat, Tecovas, and Kimes Ranch can see short bursts of interest mid-to-late January.

Nostalgia-Inspired Bags

Vintage and throwback styles from Betsey Johnson, Coach, and Dooney and Bourke often trend in brief windows. Strong photos and storytelling help these stand out.

Men’s Vintage and Streetwear

Quick spikes often appear for Nike shoes, Patagonia jackets and fleeces, and Carhartt jackets.

These styles are great for engagement and trend-driven moments.

  • Anchor your closet with formalwear – lead with premium dress brands and use mid-tier labels to drive conversions.

Seller Updates

Welcome to Seller Updates—a new place to stay informed about what’s happening at Poshmark. We’ve heard your feedback and want to provide an easy one-stop shop to find out the latest updates as they relate to managing your closet and sales. This page will be updated regularly as new updates roll out.

What’s New

  • Bulk Sharing: Bulk Sharing returned last month and is now available to help with closet organization.
  • People / Find New Poshers: This area has been removed to create a simpler experience for new community members. As a result, the related “Follow New People” Posh Ambassador requirement will no longer be required to achieve the status. 
  • Seller Cancellation Policy: Reliable order fulfillment and fast shipping help build buyer trust. We’re introducing a new policy to encourage timely order fulfillment. Sellers who cancel more than 3% of orders within a rolling 90-day period may see their accounts placed in a restricted state. This excludes buyer-requested cancellations and cancellations for bundling with another order.
  • Combined Orders: Sellers now have the option to combine multiple purchases from the same buyer made within a 24-hour window. This feature was requested by Posh Show sellers with repeat buyers in mind, but it’s available to all sellers across both Posh Shows and catalog listings.
    • Combining orders is entirely at the seller’s discretion. Sellers are not required to wait 24 hours to ship in order to accommodate potential combined orders. We continue to encourage fast shipping, and shipping labels are sent immediately after each purchase.
    • Once an order has been shipped, it is no longer eligible to be combined. How and whether you use this feature or market it to your buyers is up to you.**Updated 1/15/2026.
  • Streamlined In-App Notifications: We’ve heard your feedback that too many in-app notifications can feel overwhelming. We’re decluttering the News tab so important, actionable updates are easier to find. Share and Follow updates will move to their own sections, keeping the All tab focused on what matters most for managing your closet.
  • Bulk Upload Improvements: Smart Sell is now available in the Bulk Upload tool, making it easier for you to automate selling actions across listings. With this update, .csv files must be used as they reduce errors.
  • Hot Deals Label: You may have noticed a new “Hot Deals” label appearing on select categories and price points. After seeing strong early results for both sellers and buyers, we’ve expanded this feature to all users.
  • Order Shipping Supplies in App: We want to make ordering shipping supplies as easy as possible. Sellers can now order Ground Advantage packaging directly in the app. This feature will gradually roll out to all sellers this month. Keep an eye out for an email when you receive access.*

What We’re Testing

We’re continuously experimenting to improve both the seller and buyer experience on Poshmark. We’re excited to share early visibility into some of our feature tests. These may roll out gradually, be available to a limited group, evolve over time, or not launch based on what we learn from community feedback.

  • Search Photo Layout Updates: To make it easier for sellers to take photos and create listings, we’ll be testing portrait (tall, vertical) images in search results. If a broader change to photo orientation is planned, additional details and lead time will be shared.
  • Shipping Reminders: Sellers have asked for easier ways to manage their sales. In response, we will be testing new shipping reminders, including SMS* (if you opt in) and closet banners, to help sellers stay on track and fulfill orders more quickly. 
  • Addressing Inactive Listings: We’ve heard buyers’ frustration when they make an offer and receive no response, or purchase an item that is never shipped. To improve the buyer experience, we’ll be testing ways to address inactive listings on the platform while benefiting sellers who keep their listings active and up to date.
  • Closet Personalization: We’re testing a more personalized closet browsing experience to help buyers discover relevant listings more easily. With this test, the order of listings may vary based on what a shopper is looking for. All available listings will remain visible.
