 Selling on Poshmark: How to Sell Faster & Earn More

Selling on Poshmark goes beyond simply listing clothes—it’s about marketing your items, smart pricing strategies, and building genuine connections with your buyers. Whether you're decluttering your wardrobe or creating a thriving reselling business, follow these expert tips to sell quicker and earn more!

When I first started selling, I made the mistake of pricing my items too high without researching similar listings. My closet sat with little activity, and I couldn’t figure out why! Once I learned to price competitively, use great photos, and engage daily, my sales skyrocketed. Here’s how you can do the same!

1. Snap Magazine-Worthy Photos

✔ Natural Lighting: Bright, clear images showcase your item best. Skip dim or artificial lighting!
✔ Clean, Simple Backgrounds: Let your clothes be the star—simple, uncluttered backgrounds attract buyers.
✔ Multiple Angles: Capture every detail—front, back, close-ups of fabric and labels.
✔ Professional Touch: Easily remove backgrounds using Canva or remove.bg to create sleek, distraction-free photos.


💡 Pro Tip: Buyers love seeing clothes styled! Use modeled photos or creative flat lays to boost interest.

2. Write Listings That Captivate

✔ Be Specific: Instead of "Black dress, size M," try: "Zara black wrap dress, size M, excellent condition—perfect for date nights or office chic."
✔ Transparency Wins: Clearly mention fabric, fit, and any minor imperfections.
✔ SEO Matters: Incorporate popular search keywords (e.g., Y2K corset, boho maxi dress, cottagecore aesthetic).

Popular Style Tags to Use:
#Vintage #Boho #Streetwear #Minimalist #Y2K #Athleisure #Sustainable #BusinessCasual #FestivalFashion #LuxuryFashion

Finding Item Information: Research similar listings on Poshmark, eBay, Mercari, Depop, brand websites, and use Google Lens or Pinterest for style identification.

3. Price Smartly & Negotiate

The #1 reason sellers struggle to make sales? Poor pricing. Here’s how to price competitively while maximizing profit:

✔ Research First: Check recently sold listings on Poshmark, eBay, Mercari, or Depop. Your price should typically be within 10-15% of similar sold listings.
✔ Use Whole Numbers Only: Since Poshmark doesn’t allow cents (e.g., $19 instead of $19.99), aim for psychological pricing like $20 instead of $22 to make it feel like a deal.
✔ Leave Room for Negotiation: If you want $25, list at $30-$35 so you can accept offers without underselling.
✔ Consider Poshmark Fees: Factor in Poshmark’s 20% commission for sales $15+ and $2.95 for under $15.
✔ Use Shipping Discounts Wisely: Offering a $5.95 shipping discount (costs you $2.02) can motivate buyers to purchase faster!

💡 Pro Tip: Regularly review and adjust prices based on seasonality and demand—summer dresses sell better in spring, while winter coats move faster in fall!

4. Engage & Share Daily to Maximize Visibility!

✔ Consistent Sharing: Share your closet daily to stay visible in buyer searches.
✔ Organized Closet: Keep listings well-organized for a seamless shopping experience.
✔ Posh Parties: Join Poshmark Parties to showcase items and reach targeted buyers.
✔ Grow Your Influence: Engage with other sellers, comment, and host live shows to attract more attention.
✔ Community First: Share other sellers’ items—it boosts visibility for everyone!

💡 Pro Tip: The more you share, the more Poshmark’s algorithm boosts your closet in search results!
