Poshmark is a marketplace where you can shop and sell your clothing, shoes, or accessories that you do not use anymore. They just opened a new section for Home goods, which is pretty exciting!
This platform is great if you want to get rid of all the extra things you don’t need from your wardrobe and around the house. Selling on Poshmark is easy and fast. Sounds great, right? At first, I was surprised to learn that you can potentially make great money and perhaps a full-time income. I decided to attempt this several months ago and I am currently a part-time Poshmark seller!

Does Poshmark take a cut of my sale?
There are fees that Poshmark takes from your sales. However, I think it is definitely worth it because other platforms take way more.
For all sales under $15, Poshmark takes a flat commission of $2.95. You keep the rest.
For sales of $15 or more, you keep 80% of your sale and the remaining goes to Poshmark.
Step 5: Share & Connect
Poshmark is almost like an Instagram. This means that you can share & connect with potential customers and other Poshmark sellers. One way you can do this is by following others that have similar closets to your own. Secondly, you can share your listings and other listings from the community. Thirdly, attend Posh Parties. These are virtual shopping parties that allow you to share your listings to a specific them such a “The Best Jean Party.”
When it comes down to it, the more followers & shares that you make. The more likely you are likely to get a SALE!
