How to make money on Poshmark

Poshmark is a straightforward app to use. Here are all the steps you need to take to start making money on Poshmark

Sourcing clothes

Before you can start selling on Poshmark, you need to gather some inventory. Some vendors choose to niche down, so their stores are recognized for specific items, such as cool vintage finds or brand new clothing. Others sell what they think people will like.

In addition to sorting through your closet for items, you can keep an eye out for things you think will sell well. The more experience you have, the easier it will be! Check consignment stores, thrift stores, Facebook Marketplaces, garage sales, estate sales, and even eBay or Amazon to find clothing.

When looking through clothes, look for the labels of any popular brands that are trending. Paying attention to trends will serve you greatly! If the price tag is already high, consider passing on it. Resale work may not be worth the effort.

Also, make sure the clothes are in good condition. Pay attention and look for stains, holes, holes, broken zippers, discoloration and more.

Besides clothes, don’t forget to peruse the jewelry, shoes, bags and accessories section. These items sell well on Poshmark and can be bundled together when potential buyers visit your store.

Photographing clothes

Once your inventory is prepped (and washed), it’s time to take photos of your merchandise. The key to selling your items is to have high quality photos.

Your phone’s camera is all you need to take photos. Some people download existing images from a brand’s website if they can find them.

You are allowed to post multiple photos, so use this to your advantage. Photograph the garment from different angles including front, back, closeup, body/mannequin, hang up and include a photo of the label for authenticity.

Make your best photo the featured photo, because it will show up in search and in your closet list

Items on your closet list

After taking your photos, you can list items for sale in your Poshmark closet. Apart from images, there are many other fields you need to fill in when creating your listing. While not all of them are necessary, the more information you include, the better

In the title of your listing, include keywords that potential buyers might search for, such as “blue slip dress” or “j-crew blouse.” Then, provide more details about the item, including condition and size.

Also, fill in the clothing, size, brand, color and style categories. If the item is new with tags, mark it as such. All of these things can filter shoppers when they’re looking for clothing, so you want to make sure your items are as discoverable as possible.

Finally, you need to set your price. Poshmark charges a flat fee commission of $3.95 for sales under $20. For items over $20, they take a 20% commission.

Once printed, you can attach the label to any envelope, plastic mailer, or cardboard box inside your item.

You can then drop off your package at any post office or postal box (if it fits) and the package will be shipped via USPS Priority Mail. Mark the package as shipped in the app to let your buyer know their item is on its way.
