I have been on Poshmark since June 21. I mainly want to sell handbags, as I have decided to give up Ebay. I read all I could find on how to succeed on Posh, and little be little it is working. The most difficult for me was not understanding why my items did not come to the top of the list when I shared. I had a bag unique enough that there were only 5-6 under "just shared," and mine would not show up. If I changed to "relevance," then I saw my bag. I knew it was hurting my ability to sell, and, when I realized, it was just such a stupid thing I overlooked. I had, of course, put the brand name in the title of the item. In going through the steps, where it said brand(optional) I skipped it, because, well, it was optional, and I had the brand in the title. When I finally had my "epiphany" and realized listing the brand was not really optional if you want it to share, I edited all my listings, and suddenly everything improved.
I wonder if I am the only one who never "got" it?
One thing I learned through the internet is bundling as a seller. This took me awhile to, again "get" without referring to my notes, but now I am doing it all the time. If someone likes an item, share the item to only the liker( you physically input their name), then once that is done, go to your bundles, under seller, not buyer, and you will see the bundle of the one item with potential buyer. You can then make an offer and do not have to reduce shipping. I have found 1 in 5 bundles result in a sale. Ha-at least at this point, for me. My thought is to do it right away for the person liking it--next week she will have moved on. Do you all do this much? I was very happy to find out how to do it, as when I made offers to all my likers in one sweep, even when I have had many of them, my result was only 2 sales. And I did it frequently.
I did have a tense experience, as I sent a bag for authentication 12/30 and it was not received until 1/18 at the Posh center. Luckily I had the sweetest buyer who was patient. It did turn out fine, and once it was sent to her, she received it quickly.
In the hopes of stirring interest, I have edited pics of items, or taken new pics. I do think items need to run their course--items I have listed for 6 months finally have sold. My clothes have NOT done well, but I really did not plan that as my platform.
Poshmark has pulled me in to buy items, which was definitely not my intention. It is easy shopping! That's my main regret.
I know I have rambled, but I just wanted to give a little input about my initial issue and the bundling.
I am barbaraph in case you are interested.
