So you downloaded Poshmark, now what? Here are some easy ways to get your new listings marked with a SOLD banner and fast!
1. Style Your Covershot
Your Covershot is the very first photo of your listing and remember, first impressions count! Make sure your Covershot is well-lit and clear. Experiment between flatlays and modeled photos to give your potential buyers a clear idea of what they’re buying.
2. Describe Your Items Accurately
Take time to accurately describe the item you are listing. Include info such as the condition the item is in, if it runs true to size, and tips on what to pair it with. Answering your potential buyers’ questions up front will help them decide to hit that “Buy” button quicker.
3. Attend Posh Parties
Posh Parties are real-time virtual shopping events where fashion lovers (like you!) meet up in the Poshmark app to shop, share, and sell clothing and accessories. Posh Parties
4. Be Responsive & Engage with Others
When someone posts a question about your listing, respond promptly. If you wait too long, your potential buyer could lose interest. Remember, your Newsfeed is your friend!
Also, Poshmark is very much a social marketplace. Find others with the same shoe size and follow them. Share others’ listings that you think are fantastic. Trust us when we say that the love you help spread will get returned…and could result in a sale!

There are a couple of ways to land on the “Search” page:
1. Click on the “Search” tap on the bottom of the feed.
2. Select “People”
3. Type in the username of the Posher you are looking for!
Don’t be shy about using the search toolbar to look for someone by their username or their first or last name if you know it. Fun little tip: The search bar will save your last 100 searches. Handy!
We hope this opens up a whole new community of closets to you!
Listing, engaging, and optimizing your closet helps you connect with buyers and drive sales. During the holiday season, shoppers are searching for gifts and looking to score deals.
This playbook will help you think like a merchandiser: what to list, when to list, and how to “wrap it in a bow” (adding details & using the right key terms) so the right buyer finds you at the right time.
We’ll break this down into 2 major sections:
Holiday Timing: when to list what during the season
Fine-Tuning for the Holidays: how to talk about your items so they are searched & discovered beyond just Poshmark
Use this as a guide to schedule your listing efforts, prep your closet, and stay ahead.
Schedule ahead: Block time in your calendar to list new inventory during the early periods so you’re ahead of competition.
Refresh older listings: Don’t just add new items. Update photos/descriptions of strong performers from earlier in the year and re-position them for holiday.
Shipping & readiness matter: During the holidays, shipping speed matters. Gather all your shipping supplies (polymailers, boxes, shipping labels, thank-you cards) ahead of time.
Use this guide to help create an appealing title, craft a strong description, and include what trends you should lean into for the holidays.
Here are some themes and keywords you can incorporate into your titles or descriptions to match holiday-shopping mindsets. These can also be good for Posh Show titles:
“Gift Ready,” “Perfect Holiday Gift,” “Stocking Stuffer,” “Gift Under $XX” “Gifts for Her”
When setting up your listing (title + description), think about the occasion and the style. For example:
If you’re listing a velvet blazer: mention “holiday party blazer,” “velvet dinner jacket,” “evening wear,” “gift for him/her.”
If you’re listing a cozy knit set: mention “holiday cozy set,” “winter lounge,” “gift set,” “matching top + bottom,” “snow-day style.”
If you’re listing accessories or giftable items: mention “perfect gift,” “under $XX,” “holiday stocking stuffer,” “gift ready.”
Keep the title clear but include one or two of the holiday-keywords above (e.g. “Velvet Emerald Blazer Holiday Party Ready”). Include the brand if you can.
In the first line of description, add some tips like “ideal for gift-giving,” or “perfect for holiday events.”
If there are bundle options or multi-item sets, highlight: “Bundle two items & save” or “Gift set: matched top + skirt.”
Here’s how you might execute:
Source listings based on Holiday Themes.
Need a little bit of help? Check out our gift guide!
Review your current inventory and identify items that can be re-positioned for gifting or seasonal events such as holiday parties.
Refresh listings: update photos, descriptions, and add holiday keywords.
Create a listing schedule that works for you: aim for x new items/week leading up to late November.
Discount items that are “going out of trend” to make space for your new inventory.
List gift-friendly items, bundled offers, and partywear.
Use the keywords and themes above.
Host Holiday themed Posh Shows. Use terms like “holiday ready” and “gift deals” in the title to draw in shoppers & viewership. Think Black Friday deals/ Second Sunday/Cyber Monday
Track what types of items gain traction. If gift bundles perform, list more.
Use Offer to Likers, Closet Clear Out, or special promos (if available) to drive additional traffic.
Engage your community through social media by sharing behind-the-scenes content (wrapping, shipping prep). On Poshmark, respond quickly and set fast-shipping expectations.
Emphasize “ready to ship” or “last chance for delivery” where applicable.
Start listing items for New Year’s Eve and new year, new me wardrobes.
After the holiday gifting season, evaluate what succeeded and plan your inventory refresh for Jan/Feb.
