Does anyone use Poshmark?

Hopefully you get your money without any issues! I too have stopped selling on there for the most part. Can't deal with all the trade requests and terrible "offers". I just like to shop there these days.
I think they may have done a temporary acct, don't worry, you get paid. They just don't want to join us.
 
You can use any box you wish, total pkg just needs to be under 5lbs.

You can use the flat rate boxes too. Even says they can't charge you different for it on the shipping label.
No, flat rate boxes can't be used if the FR price hasn't been paid for the label. if the post office notices that a FRB was used, they can (and often do) charge the recipient the difference between what was paid for the label and the FR price.

The only USPS boxes you can't use on Posh are those labelled Express. Flat Rate is fine.

It went into effect last December but the PO was slow to believe So that's why they now have that msg printed on the shipping label. I have a pkg sitting beside me to go out today and took picture of msg but couldn't get it to post.

Lately I've been using Poshmark more than Ebay (as a buyer) and would appreciate some fresh insight on the Make Offer button. I'm seeing some sellers posting within Poshmark about how the site should get rid of the Make Offer button. I try to do my research on the original price of an item before deciding if I'm going to make an offer, and I make my best offer so that the seller and I don't have to go back and forth (everybody has limited time). Sometimes I can tell from the comments if the seller really is open to offers or not. I didn't know for a while that Poshmark takes 20% in commission fees so now I factor that into my decision as well.

How do you signal to potential buyers if you are open to offers? If you are not, do you state Price Firm in the description?

I've never done Posh so I don't know the rules or etiquette, but on Mercari, if you don't want offers you are supposed to state Price Firm in the description, so it could be the same. I think most Poshers expect offers.

I joined Poshmark last week to try and sell some things, but I knew nothing about it before joining.

What has happened to me is I received VERY low-ball offers on a pair of Burberry rain boots (listed at $99-offered $35 and $40) almost immediately, which wasn't even worth countering. I was curious about the people making the low-ball offers, and as I suspected, they have fairly large 'stores' and obviously wanted to resell my boots for more. One of them recently sold the exact same pair of boots for $95. I understand some people are trying to make a living on Poshmark, but it's annoying when they make low-ball offers to 'new' people like me, not even a reasonable offer. I'd rather keep them at that point, or give them to someone I like at that point.

The other stuff I've listed has gotten zero interest so far, and I priced them well. I've been going on the brand specific pages and see what has sold, and for what price. I'll post more stuff and see how it goes. Anyone who's sold a lot on Poshmark have any suggestions? TIA!
