that's why I always block them first if I want to say something they will not like
This is such a good idea!
Does anyone use Poshmark?

Why do people "share" their sold listings? To make you say wow I like that and let me see if they have another one?? I just see so many "sold" listings popping up on the main feed and I know they aren't selling in seconds after posting them...just curious, thanks!!
I've seen people say you should share sold listings to show you are a successful seller and make people want to look at your closet. Personally I think it's a waste of a share and prefer to share things I still have left to sell.
I actually sold something through Poshmark that has been sitting in my closet for months now. It was also simultaneously listed on Tradesy. I hate to say this but I think I like Posh more than Tradesy now. I’ve basically abandoned my Tradesy closet and have been passively sharing my listings on Poshmark whenever I remember to.
I do agree with another poster that Poshmark is much too focused on a younger demographic. I’ve yet to post anything too “high end” on there, albeit I see a lot of expensive bags listed on there. I’ve mainly been selling my bags to Fashionphile these days as I just don’t want to deal with the hassle.

I keep getting emails that a seller is offering a private discount on an item that I liked (the offer seems to go out to everyone who likes the item). I would like to offer a private 10% discount to all the people who liked a couple of my items, but I can’t figure out how to do it. Does anyone know? I don’t want to decrease the official price yet.
If you go to the listing and click price drop in the top section (not down where the price is), it will ask if you want to make a private offer to likers or a public price drop. Be aware that in order to do a private discount, you also have to offer a shipping discount, but it can be just $1.50.
Just fyi they were rolling this feature out in waves and it is possible you might not have it yet.

I also see a lot of expensive bags on there and I wonder if they sell? Maybe just super popular ones like chanel? I have yet to sell an expensive bag on there. Just sold a $3750 bag for $2k on eBay today....it's funny that eBay has a reputation for being an online flea market yet I have sold most of my expensive designer items on there. "Posh"mark is not especially "Posh," for me anyway. It is filled with people buying items at thrift stores and flipping them.
Thank you both. I realized I have to update my app, so I will see if the option appears after the update. If not I will wait
The only expensive bags I have sold there are one Chanel and one Hermes. Any Hermes seems to get a lot of attention, but only the more popular styles of Chanel. I agree, the site mostly caters to bargain hunters.
I kinda wonder this myself. I read about people selling expensive bags on Poshmark, but due to the low ballers I’ve encountered on there, I think I’d get too annoyed. I think you’re right about Poshmark being filled with thrift store flippers; a lot of the stuff I see is garbage. Not because there are more contemporary brands (I like and own contemporary bags myself) but a lot of the merchandise is heavily used and abused.
I also buy bags on eBay all the time; I’d much rather buy on there than Tradesy or Poshmark. Tradesy has inflated prices due to their insane fees and Poshmark has a bunch of fakes mixed with authentics that I don’t even want to bother with it. Most eBay sellers know what they’re doing and take good pics, whereas I can’t say the same for most Poshmark sellers.
Thankfully I’ve offloaded all the expensive bags I’ve had to Fashionphile. It’s just the “cheap” stuff I need to sell right now.
If someone is rearranging the order of the listings in their closet, the only way they can do that is by sharing. So sometimes people are sharing sold listings just because they are reorganizing.
Some people are super organized and like to keep certain kinds of things grouped together, or brands (lots of possible ways of organizing) so that a buyer researching the seller’s history can more easily see whatever the seller is trying to highlight—or in some cases, seller may be trying to bury something (they can’t remove a sold listing and maybe there’s drama commented that they don’t wish to draw attention) so they only way they can move that further down is to share other things on top of it which might include old sold listings.
I've been using Posh since 2012, while I do have a lot in my 'closet' I'm mostly a buyer. But the 5 years I've been on Posh, I've seen a lot of scammers easily sliding through the cracks 
I've almost been scammed only twice but that was enough for me to stop trying to sell my luxury purses and mostly just clothes and shoes. However, I do love to shop on it, 9x out of 10, I can find something that I really wanted gently used

I just made my first purchase - a NWT silk dress from the Kooples. To this point, I have only been a seller. Hoping it all goes smoothly...
