Seller Tips

If it doesn’t make you happy, or bring you joy — or you haven’t worn it in the last 6 months, it’s TIME. TO. GO.
If you still have winter items in your Poshmark closet, participate in Closet Clear Out, Make a Deal Days, and Offer to Likers to move the inventory fast!
Start thinking about the warmer weather and what other people are currently looking for: Get ahead by listing bathing suits, crop tops, denim cutoffs, etc.
Look out for new Markets: most recently we launched Activewear with more coming soon. This is a great opportunity to get more exposure on those specific items.

Utilize My Drafts to build up a library of listings. Strategy here is to frequently create new listings (this appear in places like Posh Now), and with My Drafts you’ll be able to roll them out on a cadence.
