Women across the country are making hundreds, if not thousands of dollars a month right NOW. The best part? They’re doing it all through Poshmark! Read on to get inspired by three real – and very different Seller Stylists.
Case Study #1: A 20-something southern California Seller Stylist fell in love with how easy the entire selling process is on Poshmark and in just four months, she has been able to sell over $15,000 worth of merchandise. Poshmark has given her the opportunity to make money (and have fun doing so), while being a stay-at-home mom to her young daughter.
Case Study #2: This 47-year old Texan makes $150-$200 a month on Poshmark selling clothes that don’t fit or that she no longer has interest in wearing. She loves that Poshmark gives her the opportunity to get prices for her items that she normally wouldn’t get at consignment stores.
Case Study #3: A savvy style blogger from LA loves using Poshmark to connect with stylemates from across the country. She regularly shops their closets on Poshmark…using the $300-$500 a month she’s making by listing her own items!
Create listings, sell items, make money. We think that’s about as good as it gets.
I don’t believe these stories. I haven’t made a sale in a month…longest I’ve gone without a sale. It’s ridiculous.
I am thinking this has to be unreal
I wonder if these women are still earning “big bucks “ on poshmark as of 3/2022? Did the algorithm seo search affect them ? It used to be relatively easy to earn a steady income on poshmark but since the recent changes my closet and thousands of others went dead pretty much overnight.
What does the new algorithm do? Is there a way to get it to work for us?
Can you elaborate?? What happened in March that has negatively affected your sales? I was interested in selling on PM but I don’t want to be involved with a difficult or unfair balance
I guess we’re not going to get an answer, ladies! From here down its 2016! So, how do we get the answers we need? I’d certainly like to know about this new algorithm! Wouldn’t you?
I’m interested in selling as well and knowing what all of this means could be very helpful.
I love love Poshmark. I started in Nov 15 just to see what would happen…well I have sold over 500 items and getting close to the $9,000 mark! Now I’m addicted! .Did I tell you I’m over 50….:).
I love posh! It’s an exclusive family that has allowed me redesign my wardrobe with my own personal shoppers :). Although, I have made numerous sales I have yet cashed out. I actually use posh funds to revamp my wardrobe. I have found gems, and the best thing is that I can always find my style somewhere in the endless amount of closet offered. Shopping has never been easier THANKS POSHMARK!!! Btw, I met Mannish at one of the fabulous posh events in Atlanta, and I tell you they give the classiest, swankiest events you could ever imagine. On top of being a great reliable company they are a great networking source, as I have met beautiful intelligent people that enjoy fashion as much as I do.

P.s I now have over 106,000 followers. It helps to stay social but doing that is almost a full time job in itself…lol love it still the same @shay3624 on posh. About $600 in sales so far this month. More info in post just written.
I had the best month ever on Poshmark in Feb. 2016. My sales for the first two weeks blew me away. I made over $500 in two weeks from selling clothes from my closet, my mothers and a relative. I also added overstock clothing recently which help me expand inventory. Things slowed a little after two weeks but I’m still ending the month with over $600 in sales. There are a few days left in the month and I’m hopeful I will end it big. I would love to do this full time so I’m praying on my goals and hope to achive $1,000 in sales a month within the next two months. Thank you for creating such a great app and site!-
Great story and I would ask how can anyone sell 15K per month. Send us the secret sauce and suggestions. I have been using Poshmark almost since the beginning and my sales are 200 -300 since the start. It is easy to post and with an incredible network, it helps promote your items. What is unique about that great story? Suggestions are welcome for all of us. 🙂
How do sell on Poshmark
Hi Anna, you can download the app to sell: poshmark.com/getapp. For more on how the process works, see our Posh Guide: poshmark.com/posh_guide
I was excited at the prospect of selling my clothes here when I signed up a year ago, but I haven’t sold anything. Lots of interest, but nothing sold. I don’t think most of my items are Poshmark material, which is fine. I’ll either post different stuff or sell elsewhere. I do like shopping here, though.
I think it takes a while for you to gain the network outreach. I would stay on and continue to follow others until you find a nitch.
I’ve been Poshing since July 2015. I haven’t had much luck in the selling nor the purchasing department. I think my closet is nice. I have a variety of stylish, clean and more than fairly priced items. I have even dropped the price on the entire closet. What am I doing wrong?
Hi Busybrowm, It always helps to be more social – the more followers and more shares to your followers and to parties, the better the chances your items have of being seen by prospective buyers. Great photos is another way to increase interest. Also ensure that your listing descriptions are accurate and clear, so they can be searchable. Best of luck!
I make more sales following people daily and sharing people closets
I rarely sell anything in Poshmark. I think their AI gives preference to name brands vs. what it was intended to be when they started. They have just gotten big.
I just love poshing😊 I used to have a huge yard sale every year for the last 9 years. Now that i found posh i am doing a national selling everyday. I can now sell all year round. And by the way make triple the price per item. I set up my studio in my basement and its a dream come true.
Im from New York and clothes have always been my passion. Now i can share it with the all the states.
Thank you poshmark😘
Congrats on your success, Gwen! We love hearing stories like these. Keep up the great work!
Love this site
I LOVE LOVE LOVE poshmark. I was just looking to clear my closet out a bit and ended up making 100’s of dollars in a few months. It’s so fun to style and post items. My daughter and I do it together for a little bonding time. Wonderful app!
The title for this is misleading. I was hoping for some info on how i can make more money but it doesn’t really give any tips, only things that i already know. I’ve sold two things so far ( which I’m happy about) but I’ve only made $1 cuz of the cost of printing the label and buying the envelope to mail it in, and also the fees.
I agree. This wasn’t very helpful. Its nice to hear people’s success stories though!
Posh is a great resource for clearing your closet if you’re more interested in getting just some amount of money back that you originally spent on an item, rather than a big portion. In a lot of ways the advantage is tipped toward the buyer.
The posh fee of 20% is a bit ridiculous though – and discouraging to those listing high end items. They would be wise to rethink a new pricing structure for that reason.

My Posh experience, where to start?! I was always trying to dream up ideas on how to be self employed, be my own boss, work smarter not harder, well, when I stumbled across the Posh app, I knew that I had to dream no more! I have always been a collector of things, others might call it OCD, but I love collecting atheletic wear, some lines more than others, which is apparent if you visit my closet, @potlatch338, little free advertising there! When I started almost 1 year ago I was working 13 to 14 hour days in my, then, current line of work, that time included a 2.5 hour commute in awful traffic, I had very little time to spend with my family and especially on my closet but even with only an hour or two of listing, answering questions and being social in the Posh community, I earned a very decent amount of money! Well, I quit my “day job” about 1 month ago due to many reasons, and decided to work my Posh closet full time and my sales quadrupled! I pride myself in giving customers good deals, letting someone who could’nt afford and item have it for nothing! And no, that’s not how you make money but what goes around comes around and that icludes good deeds and GOOD DEALS! So for now, by the grace of God and this incredible site, this is my full time job! Oh, and I get to be a better wife and mother!
Namaste!
Laura’s Closet @potlatch338
PS -“potlatch” is a Native North American Indian word meaning “an opulent ceremonial feast at which possessions are given away or destroyed to display wealth or enhance prestige” It is also the name of the town I grew up in, which is why I used it for my user name, quite apropos though! The 338 is my husband badge number.
Congrats on your success, Laura! We love hearing stories like yours!
Love your story!
Ok I’m ready to start this new exciting adventure. Pls tell me what do first?
Hi Noel, welcome! It’s easy to get started. Check out our Posh Guide (poshmark.com/posh_guide) and FAQs (poshmark.com/faq) and come back to the blog for more Posh Tips on how to make the most of your Poshmark experience.
Hi! I have been here a little over 2 months & have met so many incredible women. It seems every time I turn I am being blessed in one way or another. I’ve been an online shopper for years but had never considered selling anything bc I thought being disabled would hinder ime. Not so! I have made money to help my BFFs medical & my own too. I’ve made lifelong friends plus I now have clothes that fit now. POSH & These amazing women lifts my spirit. I am a “poshette” for life. Thank you for making this possible. Love to you all! Dee grace4d
I looooove Poshmark! I have been selling for about a month after a friend recommended it to me and have now made about $400 just from items sitting in my closet. I have sold to other consignment and resale stores before and felt like I was robbed afterwards. Thank you for providing an outlet for us to resell items. Your app and business model are excellent and I am so thankful! @babernabe
Congrats, Babernabe! We love hearing stories like these. Happy Poshing!
I love love love Poshmark!! I just started in March 2015 and am having so much fun! I’ve met some really wonderful people who have been really helpful too! Thanks Poshmark!!
So happy to hear this, Amanda! Happy Poshing!
I have been selling since 11/2014 and I have made just under $3000.00 I have over 1000 followers. I love this site!
Way to go, Christina! We love hearing stories like these. Happy Poshing!
I love it, too! I have been selling since June of 2014, I just hit sale 333 this morning, $11,000 in earnings, and by tomorrow I will have 60,000 followers. Poshmark has turned from a hobby into a full-time home business that I am super passionate about.
Can you tell me the username of the 3rd girl? I’d like to view her closet.
Hi Taylor, this is from @tania_sarin: https://poshmark.com/closet/tania_sarin
I started on Poshmark late in January and made in $470 in sales. Adding to my closet on Poshmalr every week.
I love this app of being able to sell and buy. I just have a problem with items that are not being described and not showing the defects and when i get it the seller acts like they dont know what im talking about. I do video tape me opening up the item i purchase. Is there anyway to avoid or how do you decide if Something is good or not. I even read the sellers other sold items as well before buying. HELP. i feel like i cant buy anything because i keep getting damaged items.
Hello, with Posh Protect (https://poshmark.com/posh_protect) we have a process in place if you’re not satisfied with your purchase. If you have a concern about a specific purchase, please reach out to support@poshmark.com.

My posh story is a lot like the first testimonial. I am a SAHM and truly cannot be more thankful for PM! I am able to stay home with my 2 little kiddos and posh during their naps and when they go down at night. I make more money with PM then I would being away from my kids in a part time job! I have so much fun, packaging up items for fellow poshers and I honestly could not imagine a more PERFECT and fun “job”! I have developed great relationships with other poshers, and even have “customers” that I would almost say I am their personal shopper! Thank you Posh, where would my family be without you?!
I really need help getting started with my closet. I wad just thinking about the hundreds of shoes i own. And what to do with them. Well i found this site and am very excited. But I’m not very computer savvy. In fact. .. I’m knowledge embarrassed to say the least. And one that could help me out i would greatly appreciate any thing anyone can offer. Thanks So much for your time in reading this. 😉
Hi Shelly! Glad you found Poshmark! For help getting started, check out our Posh Guide: poshmark.com/posh_guide or see our Posh Tips section of the blog. Happy Poshing!
Hello, My name is Adrienne Sweatt. I have been on posh for about 3 months. I was not that computer saavy but this is one place you will learn to be saavy! If you ever have any questions I would be happy to help. I got help when I was starting out!!
I have always had marvelous experience s with poshmark UNTIL my last order. I unfortunately did not hear back from anyone at poshmark regarding my experience. I was willing to send the product back, I left a comment to the seller about my dissatisfaction, the only reply from anyone ( seller ) a week after receiving item was, ” sorry for the inconvenience.” That was it. I am sorry to say something so critical against such a wonderful APP. But this mad me upset that there was never anything done to help solve the problem at hand.
Hi Cathy, we’re sorry to hear about your bad experience. Did you reach out to support@poshmark.com? Someone should get back to you soon if you have. Note that multiple emails will actually bump you down in the queue, so one email is sufficient.
I was a waitress and was laid off when the business closed, so I got another job and was laid off again because winter hours are slow. I had no idea what I was going to do. But I found Poshmark and joined, and I’ve had the best experience ever! It’s helped me so much and I haven’t had a bad experience yet. I’m a top 10% seller in just 2 months and hope to become a suggested user in the future! Love this site and am a huge supporter!
I LOVE POSHMARK! Since I’ve learned to use it this app, I have not been on IG as much. Honestly, Poshmark, has become my favorite app. My fellow posh-sisters have the most amazing shoes, dresses, etc. It doesn’t make sense to shop in the stores anymore…also I am a thrift lover and the vintage pieces on here are too die for. To the founder of this app, I salute you. Keep up the awesome work!
Question : why does everything evolves around Apple, iPhone? DiIs Poshmark against Android users? I don’t see anyone reference androids, only Apple.
I found out about posh on my android and it’s the exact same app on the iPhone I upgraded to. But in the U.S., iPhones are the most popular phone, which is why people reference it more, I think.
I started poshmark in November by posting clothes that no longer fit. I’ve made 30+ sales in two months and over $600 profit!!! It is amazing! Now I am using their blog,fb, and Instagram to learn how to buy and sell clothes for profit to make my own business. Entrepreneurship here I come thanks to posh!!!!
Congrats, Jennifer! We love hearing stories like these 🙂
I came to poshmark to make some extra cash and now I have a great business with real income that I use to buy stuff or pay my bills. I am amazed on how much money I have made and it’s so easy. I have made new friends and continue to be amazed by this wonderful network of women to be able to make money and great lasting friendships. I love poshmark!
I’m 43 years young and have money that is helping me finish my masters degree.
Sincerely
Donna Valentino of Donnacloset
I joined Posh on 10/27/14 and bought my first item within minutes of joining. I started my own closet around 11/6/14 and have already made $125.00. I am addicted!
How much do you have to pay out like fees. I sell on Mercari and eBay already. But I like this app
Hi Marsha, see our FAQs for more information on our fees: poshmark.com/faq
I have only been poshing for abt 2 weeks, it’s been a great experience I’ve made 2 sales already & my followers are expanding quickly!
This is by far one of the BEST sites I belong to. The women here are awesome and great to shop with. It’s like logging on to a special club for cool people lol. Thanks Poshmark!
Jennifer, we’re so glad to hear that you love us. Happy Poshing!
I am in the top 10% of sellers on Poshmark and think it’s a wonderful place to sell for the most part…Unfortunately the customer support is not what it was in the past. Sellers who have been caught selling counterfeit items or scamming people remain at large regardless of countless reports made by victims. I no longer receive responses from Poshmark support within 48 hours like I once did. The “Posh Profect” program that promises to cover purchases that are not as described is not always honored. I still love Posh but the safety and support is not what it once was.
i have come to appreciate Poshmark and all the wonderful sweet Poshers. It’s an easy way to bargain, sell your things at reasonable prices, & make money! ♥️ it
i started Poshing Jan 2012 what an amazing Website to sell, buy and to meet many wonderful women from all walks of life.I am a Suggested User and can’t wait to be invited back to co host another party.There are many website’s out there but I am a posher for life.Posh is quick to answer emails , love the new features they continue to update with ,
Thank you Posh
Barbie
I’ve tried many websites in the past, POSHMARK is by far the most rewarding and greatest shopping community I know! The people behind the scenes do an amazing job! Prompt and excellent upgrades are always making poshmark better!! I’m a stay at home mom who sells things in my closet because it’s fun! Who doesn’t like to get a little extra cash to buy something they can find in someone else’s closet!? I sure do! Well happy Poshing!
– @azmomto3girls –
I love Poshmark!!I I join in April 2013. And never look back. I am a suggested user will be hosting a party next month and have met so many amazing women through this app, not to mention all the extra money that I earned from selling my old clothes that either I didn’t wear forgot I had purchased or just don’t fit me anymore. This is a great app and I am so happy I was turned on to it by a girlfriend of mine. Thank you posh team!!
Can anyone tell me what I do first and how do I mail things. I want to start my closet.
Thank you january22
Hi Denise, if you’re new I suggest you read our Posh Guide to help get started: https://poshmark.com/posh_guide. If you need any help, you can reach out to support@poshmark.com directly.
Me also. …
How do host picks for parties get chosen? Is there any guidelines to having your item be chosen as party host pick? Any suggestions on how I could increase my chances of having items from my closet be considered for a host pick? Do you have to have a certain number of followers, feedback, or items sold to be picked?
Hi Maureen, there is no formal guide to how a Posh Party host might select an item as a Host Pick. Selected items should be within our guidelines and go according to the theme of the party. You can always reach out to the host and ask them to consider an item in advance of the party. It also helps to be social and share to the party and get to know other users within the app. Good luck!
I love love this site! I joined Poshmark.com 3 weeks ago and the support is AMAZING! I am a clothing Boutique owner and the support I am receiving leaves me Speechless. I am glad to be apart of this amazing Community! This is truly where I belong. ..
Omg I don’t even know where to start. LOVE love love Poshmark! My favorite app for sure! It’s not just the selling and the buying, but all the fun you can have taking the photos haha I really recommend Poshmark to every girl. It’s a great community full of amazing people! 5+++ (follow me @vvpopach)
I love this site! I have orderes several items for my Granddaughter and myself. I’m going to try to start selling soon from my closet! I give Poshmark 5 plus stars!!!
So happy to hear it, Sonya! Happy Poshing!
I love this application . I love clothes and this allows me to sell all my items that are to big . Or some reason bought, and never wore .. Lol. They are so organized and always there to support you !! Great Customer Service !!! And the other Posh members are a compiled group of women that , really support each other . Love , love it . Thanks Posh , you all ROCK !!
First time visiting your site. Thoroughly enjoyed myself! Very good deals, I would recommend this site to anyone. Thank you for inviting me. God Bless
Wow I really need to get my closet started spoon I hope
I agree with you! I joined about maybe 2 months ago and still don’t have my closet up and running! I’ve bought a ton of items, all my purchases have been great experiences and I’ve made some wonderful friend’s! I have alot of items to sell, I worked as management for Gap and Pac Sun for years so I have great quality items! Can’t wait to get started! I need to stop buying for a bit and start selling!
Load one a couple of items that are on trend and sell those then you can get use to the process. It is very simple and then you can use your credit to pay for your purchases. Good Luck 😊😊
Reblogged this on Ruby Reds on Yellow Bricks and commented:
Poshmark gave me an opportunity to share my love for vintage and thrifting with women all over the country. It opened the door for me to earn money doing something I enjoy, and also added fabulous women to my friend circle. Even though I don’t get to spend as much time in the app right now as I would like (NOwhere near a fraction of the time I would like), I know it is always there for me when I DO have the time. If you enjoy buying fun items from entrepreneurial women, cycling your wardrobe, or are looking to make a little extra cash, you definitely need to join the Poshmark community and begin developing your digital closet. You could be the next Poshmark testimonial! Enjoy the experience! Oh, and did I mention the app is free?
What a great Posh story! Thanks for shopping and selling with us!
I agree! I have only been selling since early June, but I will be at nearly 110 sales by just the end of the week. The networking, sharing, and friendships are amazing, and has made it possible to finance an entirely new wardrobe and style. THANK YOU!
ive been selling since may.. And postmark has been great! Not a huge story like some, but I’ve made a bit! Thanks Poshmark!
I’m new to posh mark and love it. I only hope it doesn’t turn into another ebay and get overtaken by commercial sellers. Takes the fun out if it.
I love poshmark! I have recently gained more business and followers by being more active and it feels fabulous! Happy poshing! Xox Stacie
Do you paid taxes on what you sell.
Hi Magaly, we recommend consulting a tax professional regarding taxes on your Poshmark sales.
I love poshmark very much, I also love all types of styles, from preppy to vintage or even casual everyday wardrobes. I enjoy shopping for myself & neighbor poshettes♡
I love poshmark. Not going anywhere any time soon.
I’ve been a hair stylist and business owner for 34 years and up until recently the long hours of standing and bending have taken a tole on my back and I’m no longer able to work the many hours the beauty industry required of me. I stumble on to Poshmark after my daughters began to post and sell their items and they exemplified such excitement that I became curious. Nevertheless after just a few months, I’ve become a Posh maniac, not to mention my hubby loves the thrift in me anyway. I’ve enjoyed taking items I can no longer wear, just being transported from one closet to another season after season, Now I’m reaping the benefits from items that Ive had and never get around to wearing. Thanks Poshmark this is an amazing way to stay for me to stay home, make money and enjoy sharing some of my favorite things with others. It’s great fun to create my closet and enjoy the attention it brings to others. Poshmark this is so rewarding to me, I wish there was something like this for my husband and grandson who have tons of nice things as well. Oh well for now I’m happy. Thanks for the amazing Poshing experience.
