Hey babes! I wanted to let you in on a little secret, Poshmark. I’ll be sharing everything you need to know about selling items on Poshmark including tips and tricks to make more sales!
Poshmark is an app I use regularly to resell clothes, shoes, and accessories. Some of my listings still have the tags on them and others are in good condition I just no longer wear or fit into them. It’s super easy to use and helps me earn some extra cash to use on buying more clothes, duh!
If you’re interested in making some extra cash selling your items you no longer use you can use my referral code FASHION_CUTIE6 to save $10 on your first order when you sign up. You can also follow me and check out my Poshmark Closet here!
If you shop my closet and are interested in an item(s) comment on the item(s) with PM 101 and I’ll drop the price by 20% as a THANK YOU!!!
Now let’s get in why you are here, how to make extra cash on stuff you don’t need or use anymore.
Why resell on Poshmark
It’s so EASY! I’ve made almost $900 from reselling my clothes, shoes and accessories. That’s a whole lot of cash for minimal effort.
Poshmark is a well reputable platform that connects sellers and shoppers from all over the US. By selling on Poshmark you reach 50 million shoppers vs reselling locally to only thousands.
The items you list will not only declutter your space, but earn you extra cash and go to a good home. It’s a win win for everyone!
What’s great about Poshmark is they provide you with a 2-day prepaid shipping label, all you have to do is print and slap that baby on the box. Another perk, the post office provides FREE boxes for priority shipping (your 2-day shipping from Poshmark qualifies) so no need to buy boxes. Or if you’re like me and buy tons of stuff online you can reuse your boxes for items you sell.
What to list on Poshmark
Honestly, this community is so large you can list just about anything. I personally use it to sell clothing, shoes, jewelry, accessories (hats, sunglasses, scarfs), and home décor. However, you could list makeup, sporting equipment like rollerblades and there are even items listed for men and children.
When to list on Poshmark
Anytime! But I usually list each season as I swap my fall/winter clothes with my spring/summer wardrobe. This way I make room in my closet to showcase items I will actually be wearing that season while decluttering and making some extra cash!
TIP: If you do a seasonal clothing swap like me I highly recommend making piles to resell, donate, toss, and hang/fold. The you can list everything in your resell pile at once! Easy peasy, right!
I also list items sporadically throughout the year. Often times I buy a hat, bag or a special occasion dress that I wear only wear once. I’m such a Type A that clutter really drives me crazy so you can usually find see new listings monthly.
How does Poshmark Work
Poshmark offers the platform and makes a small percentage of each item you sell. Anytime you list an item it will tell you exactly how much you’ll earn vs Poshmark’s cut.
Once you sell, box, and ship your item(s) you can check back to see when it’s been delivered to the customer. They have the opportunity to rate your listing, then Poshmark will release your earnings for that sale. If the shopper never rates your listing, after 3 days your earning for that sale will automatically be released to you.
You can set up a direct deposit to cash out from all the sales you’ve made! Or you can also have a check sent to you by mail.

Here are a few tips and tricks to help you get some traction and make your first sale.
- Share other people’s listing, they’ll in return share your listings to their followers, which means more people will see your items. Yay!
- Offer a bundle discount. For instance I offer 10% off when someone purchases 2 items or more. This will entice people to purchase more than one item and help you sell more of your unused clothes, shoes & accessories.
- Poshmark often has parties, join them! Then share your items to the party feed, this will get you items and profile more exposure. Parties also help you target specific audiences. For instance, last week they had an all swimsuit party. I joined the party and shared all my swim listings to the party feed. Poshmark Parties happen regularly and offer many differnce niches from Bag, Shoes to Men or Children, so there is something for everyone join.
- Interact with your followers and share their items. This is the best way to virtually meet people and to get your followers to share your listings. It also brings a sense of community and builds trust with your followers.
