Poshmark has been HORRIBLE for me this whole month. Literally to the point where I almost wanted to email them and ask them to see if there was some issue with my closet that wasn’t allowing buyers to buy lol. Thanks for being real and admitting that your sales have been really sad, a lot of other TH-camrs have been boasting about how amazing sales have been and I just don’t feel like they’re being honest
Hi Hannah, my sales have been very slow since December 6th. My last 3 sales, took over 10 days to be delivered. One is still in "NOT" delivered. So I decided to check out my state's USPS bottleneck. I reside in Michigan, and oh boy!!! I was shocked to see photos of crate bundles of packages wrapped in plastic, sitting outside, and not shipped yet. Thousands of packages. I continued to check other states, and pretty much the same thing. Yesterday, I closed my closet for vacation, until the first of the year. I think people are becoming aware of "Snail Mail" and just aren't ordering because they know it will take weeks for delivery! Love your TH-cam channel!!! Merry Christmas my Posh friend.
That’s absolutely a possibility as well! Shipping has been incredibly slow. I actually did have someone say “I really want this but I don’t think it’ll arrive in time” for an event they needed it for. That could absolutely be a deterrent for people purchasing. Merry Christmas!
Totally agree with your conclusion about the USPS and also buyers backing off. Finally my buyer is getting her loved one’s Xmas gift today, on Christmas Eve. USPS has had it for 16 days. Also we didn’t receive ANY Christmas cards this year. When I called my cousin she didn’t receive her card from me even though I sent it Dec 10.
Yes, posh is so slow!! The last sale I made was on Sunday and it came from an offer! Since then, nothing...nada! I have just been doing some housekeeping on my closet, organizing inventory, cross-listing and just anything else to set my self up for success and ease into the new year!
Just discovered your Videos Hannah and have enjoyed watching. You remind me of myself- slightly OCD, a perfectionist, and obsessed with finding the most efficient ways of doing things ♥️. Followers who enjoy concise information will flock to you. Keep up the great content. You WILL be successful with this channel!! Wishing you all the best! 🥰
For me this has actually been my best month so far. I've sold 46 items which may not seem like much to some people but I do this part time so this is amazing for me ☺. Hopefully things pick back up for you! You got this!
Possibly slow due to people buying gifts for the holiday season instead of items for themselves. I have paused buying items for myself because of this. Love your videos! They have been SO helpful in getting my Poshmark closet started!
@@HannahAlonzo Yes! I think beginning of January may be slow too, since people spent money for the holidays. It should start picking up. Slow times give us opportunities to focus on business goals we can't get to when it's busy 😁. Looking forward to more of your Poshmark videos!
hi Hannah! Thank you for all of the great videos and content! I have been so slow on Poshmark in the past 2-4 weeks too, it's crazy! I have never seen it this slow! but I totally agree with Alyssa, organize inventory and lets all get our closets ready for 2021! I went through and changed all of the details in my listings to match each other, cleaned stuff up, and feel so much better knowing my inventory is on point! Praying for a happy, healthy 2021 with so many sales for all of you! happy holidays!
People are purchasing new items as gifts. MAJOR shipping delays are a big deterrent(, items won’t arrive in time for Christmas or special event) I’m in Gilbert, Az and my last 3 sales this week on PM have been sandals, lol. Love your experiments! You are young and bright and will do well in life. I’m a grandmother with lots of resale experience but first time selling online.
I’ve actually done decent for my little closet. I only have around 25 things listed on average and I sold 5 things this past week. I do take a different approach though, I share my own stuff, but I’ve noticed I get a lot more action when I share a lot of other peoples stuffs. I try to do a small sharing spree of other people’s items once or twice a day. It brings a lot of people to your closet because a lot are nice and jump in there to share back :)
I definitely wear things from my closet and then have that moment of disappointment when it sells. Super interesting to see this experiment play out! I’ve found my sales to be super up and down. I had nothing nearly the first week of December and then I had 6 sales in 24 hours. So random!!
Good video, thanks for the experiment. I’m glad you mentioned how many active listings you have. There’s no way I could share my whole closet in only 15 mins. I currently have almost 1000 active listings. It’s slow for me too. Sharing as often as you can is very important. 2-3 times a day is sufficient. Listing every day is also very important. When I go more than one without listing anything at all I notice a big difference. 😊💕
That's a lot of work! Sorry it didn't result in more sales but I appreciate you taking the time to do this experiment for us :) Makes for a good video haha. Loved all the data you included on the screen. Really interesting what were your peak hours. Posh is slow right now. Hopefully next month it will pick back up!
I really thought it was just me but I guess Poshmark is really slow for everyone! Amazing video as always, I'm always learning something new about Poshmark with your experiments/tips!
Yup December has been super dead for me too. November was a pretty good month (for me at least but that was in part to me selling two higher priced items - had I not sold those it would have been fairly lackluster) but as we neared Thanksgiving it started to really slow down so I think people traveling and focusing on other things like Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales made PM take a back seat. Now into December it's all about Christmas.Adding insult to injury is the pandemic (as you mentioned) and I can't imagine the pressure of having to shop for gifts when people are already struggling so much financially due to all this COVID crap. So I'm not hugely surprised. It will be interesting to see what things look like as Covid becomes under control and the economy eases back open. Fingers crossed for better days ahead! Oh and keep that sweater! It looks great on you!
I'm relieved to hear that you're experiencing slow traffic as well, because my acct has been dead for weeks. Barely any likes or sales. So frustrating.
HAHAHA yes I do that with clothing items all the time. some stuff is so cute I want to keep for me but also, I gotta look at items in my closet as money!! thank you for sharing this info. sharing is so exhausting 😅
Posh is extremely slow right now! It's certainly not just you at all. With people running out of money, unemployment highs, Christmas season, USPS taking 2-3 weeks to deliver anything... it all makes for the perfect storm for being a non-sales time on Poshmark. And yes, I do have a couple of items in my closet that are priced a little bit higher than I'd normally go because I do want them myself. LOL I totally know the feeling. I agree with all the others.. keep the sweater - it looks great on you!!
Prioritize sharing I’ll tell you I’d say 30 to 40% of my sales go to the East Coast. Literally I’ve tracked it. So sharing at 6-9am EST i believe is huge. That’s when they’re up.
Sales are slow for me as well. No matter how low my offers no one is buying. I decided to put my closet on vacation because honestly it was bringing me down. Just gonna step back for a little while plus I feel bad for postal workers. Not to mention my customers could have major delays in getting their items, so the break will be good for me I think. Thanks again for the experiment. I watch often just don't comment.
I have considered doing this as well after watching Nicole State’s video today. I think taking a step back and resetting is a great thing to do during this busy time! Hoping things go back to “normal” after the holidays. Thank you for your support! 💕
Slow sales in Canada too. I’m now on EBay as well. Slow start but a couple of sales. One of the problems right now is that USPS is extremely slow in shipping. That may be holding some Americans back from buying on US Posh as well as other platforms.
My closet is sooooo slow. Feels awful hopefully it will all change after new year. I have three items priced high lol that I am on fence about so absolutely get that
I am seeing this as well, refreshing notifications & it’s crickets. Lol! November & December super slow months. Prob the slowest I’ve had all year to be honest 😖
Hey Hannah! My name is Nikki and I am on PoshMark!! I wanted to inform you that you are not alone in this slothfulness of how poshmark has been! For me I havent been able to make any sales and I have like 82 listings! I Feel like mercari has got me more sales for some weird reason! 😉
I only sell NWT items and December has been one of the slowest months for me since August which is very unusual for the holiday season. It's very slow because of the economy and pandemic.
Everyone I’ve heard from or watched, is having the same problem. I made six sales and I’m new, on the weekend you did your experiment. And then it just died. I think all of the reasons that you stated are true. But the Economy will turn around. It might be February or March before we see it on Poshmark, but it’s coming.
I think that retail sales started sooo early this year, and full retail is sooo discounted. I think people are just buying brand new like you said, and you can get something brand new for similar prices right now unless your closet has deep deep discounts.
This was helpful, sharing is super tedious so I’m honestly relieved that it didn’t really do a ton better, but sorry you put yourself through that, haha!!
Just found you and love your experiments. I also have a small number of listings 203 so today I am trying to share every hour. Did you use your phone or a desktop? Did you ENL or share from your feed?
@@HannahAlonzo I have been selling for a few years and never even thought to use anything but the app on my phone. 🤷♀️ Just tried safari and so much easier. Thank you.
My favorite listed sweater sold yesterday and I was genuinely sad. The buyer cancelled their order today because it was an "accidental purchase". Not gonna lie, I did a mental happy dance 😂
How do you share so many items in 15 minutes? I need to know your secret. It takes me more than 15 minutes to share just under 400 items. What am I doing wrong? And btw, that sweater is super cute. You should keep it. I have a couple Torrid shirts I have overpriced because I am kinda in love with them myself. Love your videos ❤️
The longer you watch an ad, the more revenue I receive 😊 So yes, I still make money if you skip after the first 5 seconds, but not as much as if they are watched all the way through. But don’t feel like you have to sit through ads on my videos! Ads are annoying haha
@@HannahAlonzo right i sat through a whole one and it was soooo long ahaha. Girl you are so right sharing like crazy and only 4 sales all week! Crazy! I am sitting at the bins waiting to go in. Long line! But abhow thanks for everything you do! You really help everyone out so much. I like yours nicole state and vad is rad the most! I feel like i cant posh until i watch a few of you ladies lol
This would drive me crazy lol!! I wouldn't say Posh has been extremely slow for me, just the sipping and payments lol. I do notice that sharing around lunch time and very much around 9, 10, 11 pm can be key. I know that's when I tend to shop, and I even get offers and interest, sometimes a sale, in the middle of the night. I'm like how is someone awake at 4am?🤣
It has been a very good months for me. People are buying Christmas gift with tags. I luckily ordered a pallet in the beginning of December everything was new with tags and I’m selling pretty much everything. I making 7-10 sells at day.
Yes I have been slower but I am still doing pretty good. Taking this time to source, clean up my inventory, list more and prepare for the spring! I havent been sharing more than 2-3x a day because why? its so slow! But over the weekend I sold 8 items. I have over 400 items in my closet tho.
The spike between 3-4 is probably because if the time difference in the time zones! 3-4 on for you is around the time that the central and east coast times are getting off their 9-5 jobs! Just my guess! :)
I did the same thing with the clothes and I do the same thing with sharing. At this point near the holidays I haven’t seen any difference. But I do expect that it will be A different result in January.
I definitely price things up that I want to keep and will not sell it until I get the price I asked for..it always sells..I’ve been selling a lot on all platforms I only share only once maybe twice a day, what I do do is post at least 10 items a day. I usually only share my closet on the last party of the night. Sales have been great
I haven’t had a sale in 2 months. Someone sent me an offer 3 days ago on an items and I got super excited and by accident clicked decline. I have been reaching out to the buyer and they haven’t answered 😩
I had approximately 300 items on Poshmark. Every day I have to delete 2 to 3 items that sold on either eBay or Mercari . I’ve tried all platforms, and believe me eBay is my big moneymaker, Poshmark always comes in last. Also, I don’t like that Poshmark makes you work for your money, the sharing thing? No other platform makes you do that!
I think people are holiday shopping and people still don't buy preowned items for gifts. That may change in the future. I will say I am concerned about massive shipping delays at USPS. I have been sharing less because I have been so busy but selling at least one things every day. I can't figure it out.
Last week I had my best week in a long time. I made over $900 and sold around 49 items. Lots of bundles. This week was decent as well. I do have a huge closet though, 1,904 active listings. I do get a few full price sales every week but also low offers as well. I only share the entire thing once a day or even every other day. It takes over 2 hours to do it once. Today I had 3 people share a random pair of shorts that is at the bottom of my closet. That was odd.
Crazy enough... i just started last month so i dont have a normal yet. Ive been making a sale every other day at least. Sometimes daily and it is mind blowing to me... like woah this whole thing works. Still surprises me when someone buys my stuff i guess haha
@@HannahAlonzo it is im definitely not getting rich off it by any means yet. I think i am buying too high and selling too low. My average take home is like 5 bucks or less 😂 but it moves.... if i make 10 bucks its like a good day. The stuff i get for free that actually sells is nice. I havent figured it all yet espically pricing game.
Feb has been DEAD for me!:( - in the past I have reached out to poshmark and turns out there were actual issues with their software that wasn't allowing shared items to show up!! Sometimes when its' slow I wonder if the software issue happened again- so crazy because I never know if its really slow or its a software issue
In the Poshmark IPO they showed a profit that was achieved by cutting advertising drastically. Also, I know they have changed things. I like to follow new people just joined. Usually they seem like they are new with no listings in their closet yet. Now the people there have full closets and have sold multiple items so definitely not just joined people.
I get so frustrated when I share on my phone using safari because the share button is next to the closet name and I always accidentally click it and it refreshes the page and I have to scroll all the way down again. 🙄 Sharing 100+ items in 2 minutes is incredible! It takes me 25 minutes to share my 450.
I hover between 120-140 active listings these days which takes me just under 3 minutes to share. I also share using the Safari app on my iPhone, not on the Poshmark app itself! Much faster, no lag time between each click.
yes yes YES lol, if the price is high enough it deters some giving me more time with the item that I am emotionally attached to, too funny. Yes , also super slow yet I am only a beginner (2 months) and only one sale this week, Shipping is really backed up, one item was lost, never scanned., one is out in the abyss for a month now. USPS is SUPER bogged down with people home and shipping xmas items and buying from home plus covid, staff sick, short and snow so hopefully many understand that they are doing the best they can and shipments are delayed. 4 sales this month, 14 last month. Some are also putting a vacation hold on their closet because of the shipping delays but I feel it just gives more time to re edit or source items. It will pick up! =) Sharing during parties and late night I feel has also helped, different time zones also fall in play. Saturday and Sunday mornings have been a good time for me too. Thank you for doing your experiment!
On Ebay it takes a few days for your activity on the app to really get noticed by the algorithm. Did you see more activity the days following these experiments?
That’s a great question! Not this time. I’ve finally been able to see some activity yesterday and today! (Almost 2 weeks after this experiment) Woohoo! I’m assuming because people are receiving Christmas money and the financial stress of gift-giving is over maybe? Hope you had a lovely holiday!
Yes. Absolutely dead! Even sharing more than usual wasn’t working. Now I’m purposely not sharing or listing a ton right now because of the extreme shipping delays. I sold a pair of boots on the 11th and they are still sitting at some post office somewhere. Frustrating! I feel like buyers blame us even though I ship same day or at least within 24 hours. Waiting til after Christmas when things settle to turn my routine back on. Keep the sweater! 😜
All I sold all week was 3 Christmas sweaters - one on Poshmark, two on FB Marketplace. Note - I priced aggressively so I don't have to store these. Otherwise the past week barely any likes, and no offers. (I have a lot of NWT items that could be gifts, too!)
Posh is slower for sure the past few weeks. And yes, I do have favorite items that I price a little higher than I might otherwise do, so I can keep them incase they don't sell :)
Everything that used to work is not working anymore. My numbers are down half from last year. And I’ve been doing Poshmark for seven years and I was on a steady increase because I had figured a few things out in my mind and now none of it’s working anymore. But not sharing I don’t believe it’s going to help LOL
We haven't been selling on poshmark for too long, only since June. However every month has been better than the last. We've been selling about 5-6 items a day at least $100 profit. I hope this is a slow season lol!
If im remembering right, i try to keep my self shares in the last 30days between 15,000-18,000 shares and i’d get like on average like 5 sales per week which is good enough for me. Now im at 21,000 self shares and like 2 sales per week IF im lucky 😂😂
Poshmark has been horrible. I've been very frustrated, been lowering my prices to the dirt or just unlisting things that I still like & don't want to give away. I'm a few days away from taking everything else to goodwill. I need space in my room/closet and I'm sick of the clutter, and I don't have anymore patience to sit there and reshare my closet all day.
Hey girl, do you have an email? I recently found an amazing secret on posh that makes me sales almost every time. I wanted to share with you but privately and also if you use it in an experiment (which you totally should and would be great) I would like to be credited. I've kept it secret for a few months and idk how long I can hold it 🤣
Poshmark has been horribly slow for me and I have nice stuff. I've been sharing like a maniac and it hasn't done anything over the past week. @bouldergoose

How do you share so many items in 15 minutes? I need to know your secret. It takes me more than 15 minutes to share just under 400 items. What am I doing wrong? And btw, that sweater is super cute. You should keep it. I have a couple Torrid shirts I have overpriced because I am kinda in love with them myself. Love your videos ❤️
I log into the Poshmark website on Safari app on my phone. I’ve found that it’s much faster than sharing on the Poshmark app or even on a computer! 😊
I agree about how slow Poshmark has been!
Hey do joy still get paid off we ship the adds on your videos?
The longer you watch an ad, the more revenue I receive 😊 So yes, I still make money if you skip after the first 5 seconds, but not as much as if they are watched all the way through. But don’t feel like you have to sit through ads on my videos! Ads are annoying haha
@@HannahAlonzo right i sat through a whole one and it was soooo long ahaha. Girl you are so right sharing like crazy and only 4 sales all week! Crazy! I am sitting at the bins waiting to go in. Long line! But abhow thanks for everything you do! You really help everyone out so much. I like yours nicole state and vad is rad the most! I feel like i cant posh until i watch a few of you ladies lol
Thank you for your support! 🥰
This would drive me crazy lol!! I wouldn't say Posh has been extremely slow for me, just the sipping and payments lol. I do notice that sharing around lunch time and very much around 9, 10, 11 pm can be key. I know that's when I tend to shop, and I even get offers and interest, sometimes a sale, in the middle of the night. I'm like how is someone awake at 4am?🤣
50% of my closet are things I’m not sure if I want to let go that I’ve priced too high:)
It has been a very good months for me. People are buying Christmas gift with tags. I luckily ordered a pallet in the beginning of December everything was new with tags and I’m selling pretty much everything. I making 7-10 sells at day.
Yes I have been slower but I am still doing pretty good. Taking this time to source, clean up my inventory, list more and prepare for the spring! I havent been sharing more than 2-3x a day because why? its so slow! But over the weekend I sold 8 items. I have over 400 items in my closet tho.
The spike between 3-4 is probably because if the time difference in the time zones! 3-4 on for you is around the time that the central and east coast times are getting off their 9-5 jobs! Just my guess! :)
That’s a good point!
Poshmark is very slow! Haven't made a sale in a week! No new follows, shares, or likes! Possibly because USPS is slow, and purchases will arrive late!
I did the same thing with the clothes and I do the same thing with sharing. At this point near the holidays I haven’t seen any difference. But I do expect that it will be A different result in January.
I do this!! Its like fine ok if it sells for this fine
I definitely price things up that I want to keep and will not sell it until I get the price I asked for..it always sells..I’ve been selling a lot on all platforms I only share only once maybe twice a day, what I do do is post at least 10 items a day. I usually only share my closet on the last party of the night. Sales have been great
YES! I do that too with stuff I love... lol
I haven’t had a sale in 2 months. Someone sent me an offer 3 days ago on an items and I got super excited and by accident clicked decline. I have been reaching out to the buyer and they haven’t answered 😩
I had approximately 300 items on Poshmark. Every day I have to delete 2 to 3 items that sold on either eBay or Mercari . I’ve tried all platforms, and believe me eBay is my big moneymaker, Poshmark always comes in last. Also, I don’t like that Poshmark makes you work for your money, the sharing thing? No other platform makes you do that!
I’ve heard from a lot of people that December is a very slow month. It’s definitely not you! I love when you do these experiments, though!
Glad to hear it’s not just me! Thanks for watching 🥰
I think people are holiday shopping and people still don't buy preowned items for gifts. That may change in the future. I will say I am concerned about massive shipping delays at USPS. I have been sharing less because I have been so busy but selling at least one things every day. I can't figure it out.
Last week I had my best week in a long time. I made over $900 and sold around 49 items. Lots of bundles. This week was decent as well. I do have a huge closet though, 1,904 active listings. I do get a few full price sales every week but also low offers as well. I only share the entire thing once a day or even every other day. It takes over 2 hours to do it once. Today I had 3 people share a random pair of shorts that is at the bottom of my closet. That was odd.
Crazy enough... i just started last month so i dont have a normal yet. Ive been making a sale every other day at least. Sometimes daily and it is mind blowing to me... like woah this whole thing works. Still surprises me when someone buys my stuff i guess haha
That’s great that you’re making regular sales! 🎉
@@HannahAlonzo it is im definitely not getting rich off it by any means yet. I think i am buying too high and selling too low. My average take home is like 5 bucks or less 😂 but it moves.... if i make 10 bucks its like a good day. The stuff i get for free that actually sells is nice. I havent figured it all yet espically pricing game.
Yes!! Was it you who asked me to make a video about pricing strategies?? That’s coming soon!
@@HannahAlonzo haha oh thank god because i need heeeelp 😂🙌
All the time, it usually backfires and gets sold!
Feb has been DEAD for me!:( - in the past I have reached out to poshmark and turns out there were actual issues with their software that wasn't allowing shared items to show up!! Sometimes when its' slow I wonder if the software issue happened again- so crazy because I never know if its really slow or its a software issue
I just started Poshmark a few days ago and already sold 6 items.
In the Poshmark IPO they showed a profit that was achieved by cutting advertising drastically. Also, I know they have changed things. I like to follow new people just joined. Usually they seem like they are new with no listings in their closet yet. Now the people there have full closets and have sold multiple items so definitely not just joined people.
It is the slowest time of the year for reselling used clothing. You'll get used to it. LOL
I get so frustrated when I share on my phone using safari
because the share button is next to the closet name and I always accidentally click it and it refreshes the page and I have to scroll all the way down again. 🙄
Sharing 100+ items in 2 minutes is incredible! It takes me 25 minutes to share my 450.
Super slow for us as well. Hope it will pick up after the holidays.
Poshmark Closet:- teebody.
How is it possible to share every 15 min? It takes me 20 min to share on a good day 😳
I hover between 120-140 active listings these days which takes me just under 3 minutes to share. I also share using the Safari app on my iPhone, not on the Poshmark app itself! Much faster, no lag time between each click.
yes yes YES lol, if the price is high enough it deters some giving me more time with the item that I am emotionally attached to, too funny. Yes , also super slow yet I am only a beginner (2 months) and only one sale this week, Shipping is really backed up, one item was lost, never scanned., one is out in the abyss for a month now. USPS is SUPER bogged down with people home and shipping xmas items and buying from home plus covid, staff sick, short and snow so hopefully many understand that they are doing the best they can and shipments are delayed. 4 sales this month, 14 last month. Some are also putting a vacation hold on their closet because of the shipping delays but I feel it just gives more time to re edit or source items. It will pick up! =)
Sharing during parties and late night I feel has also helped, different time zones also fall in play. Saturday and Sunday mornings have been a good time for me too. Thank you for doing your experiment!
All great insight! Thanks for sharing!
Sales have been terrible for me if that gives you any comfort I share I list I fallow I relist nothing seems to work 😭
Delivery was slow then also
On Ebay it takes a few days for your activity on the app to really get noticed by the algorithm. Did you see more activity the days following these experiments?
That’s a great question! Not this time. I’ve finally been able to see some activity yesterday and today! (Almost 2 weeks after this experiment) Woohoo! I’m assuming because people are receiving Christmas money and the financial stress of gift-giving is over maybe? Hope you had a lovely holiday!
Yes. Absolutely dead! Even sharing more than usual wasn’t working. Now I’m purposely not sharing or listing a ton right now because of the extreme shipping delays. I sold a pair of boots on the 11th and they are still sitting at some post office somewhere. Frustrating! I feel like buyers blame us even though I ship same day or at least within 24 hours. Waiting til after Christmas when things settle to turn my routine back on. Keep the sweater! 😜
It's been really slow. It's not just you. Yes, I've kept items I've purchased for my Posh closet. 😉💖
I haven't been selling either
Hi,you only SALE in poshmark or in Ebay too...
I do not sell on eBay
Dead the last 2 weeks. I might as well been closed. I think this shipping mess has hurt our sales
All I sold all week was 3 Christmas sweaters - one on Poshmark, two on FB Marketplace. Note - I priced aggressively so I don't have to store these. Otherwise the past week barely any likes, and no offers. (I have a lot of NWT items that could be gifts, too!)
Posh is slower for sure the past few weeks. And yes, I do have favorite items that I price a little higher than I might otherwise do, so I can keep them incase they don't sell :)
Yup I do the same thing with items I’d rather keep
Everything that used to work is not working anymore. My numbers are down half from last year. And I’ve been doing Poshmark for seven years and I was on a steady increase because I had figured a few things out in my mind and now none of it’s working anymore. But not sharing I don’t believe it’s going to help LOL
Sells have been super slow for me the past 2 weeks. I’ve sold 2 items last week.
We haven't been selling on poshmark for too long, only since June. However every month has been better than the last. We've been selling about 5-6 items a day at least $100 profit. I hope this is a slow season lol!
Congrats on your sales!
How many items do you have in your closet?
Surprisingly I’ve gotten the most sales ever in the last few weeks than before. But maybe I’m changing my tactics more and being more persistent!
However the delivery and sometimes notifications have been slow and then randomly a spike of a lot of activity
Honey. I do it all the time. Or I say if this doesn't sell, I am going to keep it but it always sells. Darn
Same here whats going on?????
Poshmark is extremely slow for me as well. I also thought it was just me 🤷🏻♀️ However, I sell homegoods.
Im ready to close its so slow
If im remembering right, i try to keep my self shares in the last 30days between 15,000-18,000 shares and i’d get like on average like 5 sales per week which is good enough for me. Now im at 21,000 self shares and like 2 sales per week IF im lucky 😂😂
Poshmark has been horrible. I've been very frustrated, been lowering my prices to the dirt or just unlisting things that I still like & don't want to give away. I'm a few days away from taking everything else to goodwill. I need space in my room/closet and I'm sick of the clutter, and I don't have anymore patience to sit there and reshare my closet all day.
Wait until after the holidays! I think people are focusing on new gifts instead of spending on themselves!
Posh is dead for me right now. I’m just focusing on organizing and listing new things and hoping once tax return season hits sales will be booming.
Yes, I’m focusing on staying consistent too and hoping it pays off! 🙌🏼
Hey girl, do you have an email? I recently found an amazing secret on posh that makes me sales almost every time. I wanted to share with you but privately and also if you use it in an experiment (which you totally should and would be great) I would like to be credited. I've kept it secret for a few months and idk how long I can hold it 🤣
P.S. i realized my first sentence sounds very scammy lol but its legit
You can send me a DM on my Poshmark Insta! @hannahsposhcloset12
I've heard ZERO people talk about it ever
@@HannahAlonzo okay will do!
Yes, sales are so slow now. Is it weird that I’m relieved it’s not just me 😂
No, I’m relieved too!
Extremely slow!! I am ready to call it quits.
Poshmark has been horribly slow for me and I have nice stuff. I've been sharing like a maniac and it hasn't done anything over the past week. @bouldergoose
Slow sales here too🤦♀️ more like dead!
It’s so slow....😞
Very slow now in posh.
Glad to hear it’s not just me!
I think its slow...
It's very dead right now, no matter how many times I share 😒
Wait you share on ur phone?!? RIP
I share on my phone logged in through the Safari app. Faster than on the Poshmark app or on a computer 😊
@@HannahAlonzo ooooh!! Good to know! Thanks!
