As I've decluttered a lot of things in my journey towards minimalism, I've found that selling things can be a great way of getting rid of belongings and giving them a second life. While I'm no true professional at Poshmark, I've successfully sold over $1,000 worth of belongings, and I want to share some basics and tips for how to sell on Poshmark for those of you who are just starting out or need a boost in motivation to get started. Feel free to share any tips you might have for selling online!

Big tip: Get rid of it regardless of how much you make on it. If you’re not using it might as well let someone else enjoy it.

yup! i started selling in college after my sophomore year caught up with me, and i needed to make room for clothes that actually fit my new body. i saved up my poshmark sales/credit and was able to buy things that were too expensive for me retail. it’s great! just bought a madewell dress that retails for $88 and got it for $20!!

I'm trying to get motivated to post on Poshmark. My first and only post back in November I made over $1500 off a vintage coat from 1950s. It took about 10-14 days to have the item authenticated by Poshmark. The buyer was pleased with the coat. I prefer selling on Poshmark to giving stuff to a consignment store. I just need be proactive. Could be my vacation fund. Thanks for the video.

@breensprout
@breensprout 3 года назад
these are great tips! i'm new to selling on poshmark but i did work for a secondhand/consignment store in college, and one other thing i would add is that when you are considering how to price the item, take into account how old it is, especially for trendier items. a lot of clothing items start to look dated after about 3 years as trends change, so unless the pieces are classic/timeless styles (or unless they're vintage, which are items that are more like 20+ years old), they're not worth as much after that time period, and you may want to consider just donating them instead.

@mikegold3130
@mikegold3130 Год назад
How much money can you really make with poshmark? I had this idea of what if I buy a t shirt on thrift apps for 10$, but with shipping and tax it’s like 20$ I’d have to sell the shirt for at least 30$ to make a few dollars profit because the app takes a percentage of each sale. So maybe it’s a good way to make money on clothes you buy in real life, for example if you buy a 2$ t shirt from a goodwill, and sold it online for 10, after tax you’d make like 5$ per shirt. Which isn’t a lot so you’d have to really have a huge collection making multiple sales a day to actually make good money on poshmark.

Do you need to own a printer to sell on poshmark? Or could I, like, print it out at the library until I can get one?
@breensprout
@breensprout 3 года назад
you could probably print at a library--they're just paper labels that you'll need to tape on whatever package you're using. or you can save it to a flash drive and print a black/white copy pretty cheaply at a fedex office (it's only a few cents per page). most things take a while to sell, in my experience, so unless you're processing a lot of items, you can get away with not having a printer.

@ElinLesser
@ElinLesser 3 года назад
Glad it was helpful! Yes, Poshmark does take 20%, so that's definitely something to consider. I personally think it's worth it (depending on the item) because it opens you up to so many buyers that the overall prices are likely higher than selling it in some other ways. Plus it's just so straightforward and easy. But there are always other options, too! :)
@midlife_minimalist
@midlife_minimalist 3 года назад
@@ElinLesser Thanks for the reply. I realize it is now 2 months later (You Tube doesn’t seem to tell me there is a reply, only likes). 20% is very reasonable - the resale shop by my house takes 40 or 50% and I hate the whole vibe of the place and their policies. By the time things sell and they take their piece I get very little so hasn’t been worth it. I think Poshmark makes sense for the purses or I heard there is another that specializes in handbags.

What are your thoughts on people somewhat aggressively asking for holds? I currently have a lady who has asked me to hold an item for her three times in the last 12 hours. I don’t currently have any offers or other likes on it, but if someone does come along and buy it at full price, I’m gonna take the sale. I don’t want to hold it for her just because she can’t buy it right now, especially because her continuous asking seems kind of aggressive and demanding. Is my thinking right?
