🆕 *12 Steps To Start & Grow A Poshmark Closet In 2024:* ua-cam.com/video/1xETbYJ0ndA/v-deo.html
Worst mistake I see on any resale site is lack of measurements, whether it is a handbag or clothing item. I get so frustrated when I want to buy an item and there are no measurements. Then I gave to send a question and wait a couple days to get a response. So I will just move on to a seller that has all the info I need to make a decision. Also I cannot believe the horrible photos or lack of photos for an item. Especially any flaws should be shown. And my biggest pet peavey is odor, I have asked before buying if any odors such as perfume or smoke. I recently purchased a purse that I love but it reeks of perfume. The only reason I kept was a good price and the hope I could get the smell out. People need to know that strong odors can make some people sick with migraines etc. Sorry to rant but I am a very conscience seller and buyer.
This is great advice
I've been wondering about the odor problem. I'm not a reseller (yet) but the clothing I have thrifted for myself sometimes takes three or four washings to get rid of odor. That's a lot of water used to make it usable. Also, if resellers use highly fragrance detergent (Tide comes to mind) surely there are buyers who have problems with this, too. I'm researching poshmark today, trying to decide if I want to open a closet...
When I get items that reek of cigarette or other odors, it is also frustrating for me. I am a bit OCD when selling and easily get frustrated as a person who has migraines on a daily basis If I purchase an item that smells but the overall quality is good, I will wash and I add Vinegar to the wash. I will also use presoak and always double rinse. This has always worked for me.
If you're have an item with tags that I plan to resell and it smells of cigarettes, that item is going to be hung outside for at least a couple of days. If I have to remove the tags, I will use the above method to complete the process. Hope this helps!
Also, note of caution: If steaming or using the steam refresh setting on your dryer, be sure to give your garments time to dry prior to packaging - if you do not, you risk moisture getting left in your packaging which will smell moldy or sour! #poshmarklessons
I liked your videos. No of useless chatter. Just, direct, easy to follow, useful information. Thank you.
Hi Sandra! Thanks to your advice my sales have increased on Poshmark ❤ It took at least 1 month to get my first sale now I get about 1-3 sales a week. I appreciate all your effort and advice you put into these videos. Have a blessed day 😊😊
You are seriously the best! I meant to comment a long time ago. I have been selling on Poshmark for a minute now and honestly you were my guide from day one! Thank you!!!!!!
I read that earlier this year Poshmark changed the algorithm favoring sellers that sell more and are more active over those who sell little or do not sell at all, AKA newbies. The established sellers who have consistent sells get promoted and placed ahead of any others for their their number of sales. I guess Poshmark values more sellers than bring more money. Unfortunately, that prevents new sellers from reaching that point of sales and grow. There are also other algorithm and features that favored big sellers over the newbies. In my case, it looks very ironic. I was selling from the first week. I thought by becoming an Ambassador, I would get more sale, but no. The sales stopped all together the moment I became an Ambassador, despite Poshmark “promise” of highlighting the closet on the feed, etc, etc. 😮
So helpful! Thank you very much for taking the time to explain all this!
This is definetly my favorite reselling learning video I have watched. I am a new seller on Poshmark, and you made me realized I wont get instant results like I was bummed about since I only have made one sell so far. I do need patience for sure.

@thepinkparty tips were so helpful and your other videos also, taking notes now I just got my first sale today and started last month
Thank you so much for this video and your channel (and for the shout out to Blue Consignment, who I'm now following as well). Just great info told in a very uncomplicated way (in all your videos). I've been thinking about reselling for YEARS, but haven't taken the leap. Though that's not such a bad thing, because I am learning A LOT from my research. Learning from all your pros' mistakes lol. Thank you so much for giving me hope that I CAN do this! :)
Sandra - thank you sooooo much for sharing! I am new to Poshmark but determined to be successful. I appreciate all your tips, formulas, and guidance. This was super helpful. Will be watching for more!
I love your honesty
Thank you so much!!
Awesome advice! You ROCK!
This video spoke to me haha I recently starting selling on posh again in the last year or so, and I will have soo many sales, then nothing. When I make a lot of sales, I rush out to retail stores and buy so much stuff to sell, get home and post it, and it doesn't sell. It's like a high lol When I eventually do sell it, I barely make a profit or I just about get my money back. Thank you for this video!
This is an Excellent Video!!!!!
Thanks for the advice. K
You, you YOU are INVALUABLE TOO! So informative and so detailed. You've been such a blessing to the beginning of my little business. So blessed to have found and chosen you to as a leader on my team! Many Blessings 💕💞
Is amazing how well you make your videos, so detailed!! it would come handy in this new adventure of mine! For example, I didn’t know you could get free shipping supplies from the usps, I paid for the box of my first sale. Second sale, I had one from something I bought. Now, I just ordered boxes from usps and I’m ready for all the sales conning my way 😊 Thank you!
Thank you so much. I learn lots from your video.
You are welcome!
Awesome video thanks for making it! Also you have to consider the distance traveled to and from a store and gas
Very informative, we aprreciate you. :)
You did a fantastic job with this video. You have done your research and I appreciate you sharing this knowledge with us. I'm just starting out so need all the help I can get. It was great you shared other Poshmark sellers on UA-cam and what videos to watch. Thank you so much.
Thank you for this video I was starting to feel down.

All the selling platforms are designed the same way. The more you list the more you sale, so simple. No matter if you have 100, 200, 300, items listed, you need more than than that to get results. These platforms redirect the traffic to the sellers with more items listed, because to them it's where the money is. I just barely started on Poshmark like 3 months ago, I have like 168 items listed, I don't have consistent sales, I know myself that I need at least double up that amount to start getting results. Anyone telling people that is making easy money with 200 or 300 items in stock, he's/ she's lying, unless they sell drugs. Those are my two cents!
SO so helpful, I am currently making almost all of these mistakes lol. Thank you for sharing!!!
Love your channel you have been my mentor
Thanks! Great tips!!!!!!
Great video!
Thank you for sharing
Thank you making this video, its so helpful! I have a question about what to do with things that have no likes and have sat for months almost a year? Also, where do you keep all your inventory and how do you know where to look when something sells?
So helpful and you sharing your challenges as well as what's working show authenticity which I appreciate. Also you pointing to other sellers' videos for our benefit....keep em coming!
Will do. Thanks for watching!
I've just subscribed to your channel! Thank you for sharing great information on how to sell on Poshmark. I'm looking to sell and I'm super nervous.
I really appreciate your smart, insightful, well thought out and honest videos! Love that you bought 40 pairs of shoes in one shot. It’s so exciting in the beginning it’s hard not to go bananas. Thanks for sharing!
@@SandraTheMomBoss I understand. 😀
Thank you!
You're a queen!!! Thanks for helping everyone!
Excellent video
Thanks!❤️
Thanks you so much for your sharing 🥰
You are so welcome
Great video! I'm three months "poshing" and made ALL these mistakes. Learning to keep my average cost per item at $4/$5. Works much better than paying $10/$15.
Wow these are all so helpful. I started selling on Poshmark a few months ago and while I'm not in the red, I'm definitely not making the money I want. I think my biggest mistake was getting anxious at the thrift store, and feeling like I needed to buy a large amount of inventory. I really like your tip of setting a goal of a smaller amount of items per week. I've bought large amounts of inventory and come home, realizing that many of the items have flaws. I've been really hard on myself but I think by applying your tips, I'm going to start feeling a bit more relaxed and actually enjoy the whole process :) Thank you!
Don't be so hard on yourself. I think most other sellers make those same mistakes. Think of it as learning the business. Making mistakes are the best way of learning what not to do the next time. Thankfully, you're probably sourcing from thrift stores and garage sales so your investment on these items are minimal. Just donate the items you can't use and continue on with your journey. I've found that if you are running low on funds, try sourcing items that you have laying around at home. They may have more value than you think😉
I think i can relate this vlog. I spent almost $20 for the bags i become addicted to buy online to sell poshmark but no coming in
Great video
Thank you
Excellent video! I don't sell yet, I only buy! I'm thinking about selling in the near future though. So that's how I found this great video! Thank you SO much for all this wonderful information! I also subscribed! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks 😊🙏
Great tips. My Poshmark is just sitting there for weeks and zero sell😥
Great advice 👍! I had a problem with my shipping label I didn't know how to fix the problem.. post office changed the label of my package they didn't let me know at that moment. I tracked the new number from my receipt.. it was a chaos =/ I was sad you know I have like 4 months with poshmark. The buyer received the item never released the money... poshmark support didn't helped... long story still feel bad
Well made video
Hello Sandra thank you so much for your videos can you please show me how to photo a full length dresses i'm going to follow your instructions and start my store
OMG thank you. i legit thought it was just me
Thank u u r great
I just recently started reselling and I have quickly discovered that where I love doesn’t seem to have the quality brands from other parts of the US. Any advice on what to thrift or anything else that would be helpful.
Thanks for a great video with some very good tips! . I have items on pashmark. And non clothing items on E bay.Some times items will go quick on E bay . Pashmark seems like a lot of likes and shares but no $$. Gonna try better keywords and use all the photos I can . Sold a pair of gray and blue sneakers the other day . customer rated me 2 stars and said they were more gray than black.
I said they were gray . I don't get some people ..
AddThank you for helping me make better decisions based off your trials on these online platforms. I think I'll fallow your advice and dismiss this decision on stopping my flow here on Mercari. . . Thanks and you're always awesome. . .tell me how do you do this online sales in between all the worlds distraction and still be successful .
Have you heard of thread up ? You can send items that aren’t selling to there to sell if you didn’t invest much into them they give you $ to buy on there site and you can source from them so almost an exchange
