I've moved to shipping smaller size items to the priority cardboard envelopes, I see people ship jeans in them, but I reserve it for t-shirts and smaller. I appreciate it seems to be recyclable by anyone. I am openly low environmental impact / waste shipping, so I definitely do not ship in plastic. I do not buy poly mailers either. I recently invested in recycled card stock mailers and I love them.
Thank you for sharing! It is great to hear how everyone packages things, I will check out the cardboard envelopes and see if I think they will work for my items. 💗 🌎
Almost 4k subscribers! Wow! Proud of you Amy! 😊 on more expensive items I put them into a biodegradable mini trash bag. I also tape a little note on it that says it’s recyclable. I get them off Amazon. If I’ve been lowballed I really don’t put as much effort in on wrapping. lol.
Hi Amy-I heard about you through Mogi Beth in the comments on one of her recent videos and started following you too. Thank you for sharing your sales and knowledge! You’ve been very helpful and I enjoy watching your videos.
Even though you didn't sell a whole lot on PM and Chairish, the sales you had were great! Good thing that lady saw your reduced sale of the lion head fountain. Love the furry bolero jacket is darling! I agree that raising the price works many times and sharing other closets' listings (even for Likers) helps. If someone shares or likes anything in my Closet, I share from their Closets for similarly priced items. The low ball offers have been rampant on PM lately. XO to T-Bird!
I was very thankful to have those other sales. I am definitely seeing the importance of diversifying my business. Thank you so much for watching and commenting! 😘
Thanks for sharing 🌷 I always use plastic bags as I have received items I purchased on Posh with water damage. One purse I bought was molding dye to water damage. I had a lot of sales ready to ship out a few days ago and a buyer purchased a pair of men’s sweatpants. I was in a hurry to get to the post office as I had a busy schedule so I mailed the sweatpants in a tyvek envelope without plastic. I received a 4 star rating and she specified packaging 😅
Great points. We really need to make sure our items arrive safely to our buyers. I’m heading to Phoenix in a few weeks, I’d love any recommendations you have for thrifting. Thank you for always watching and giving great feedback. 🩷
Amy I added the bulk share as you suggested. i do think it helped. I really does make sense i will continue to keep it in my routine:) I enjoy your videos. I am a regular viewer. The thing i enjoy the most is seeing you get so excited,,, it is contagious:) Keep up the good work. Dee
I hope it is helpful for you. I’ll try just about anything to get my sales going. Thank you so much for watching! It’s great to have people to share my excitement with. ❤️
Your Banana Republic leather jacket was sublime - minimalist and great color. How DID you sell that? Yeah - I get it - I would love to chuck all my clothes into the lake. Ugh - I’m SO over myself .. LOL ….and T-Bird is so beautiful. 🩷💚
I don’t think I was an XS when I was born 🤣 The bday party was a fun “working” party getting gifts ready for the baby shower that happened this past Sunday … phew… it’s been busy but so much fun. Now… I’m preparing for when my new great niece arrives. Baby girl is going to keep us all so busy. I CANNOT wait !!! 🌼🌼🌼🩷🩷🩷🩷💚💚💚💚
Hi Amy 🤗 I enjoy your videos and the helpful information for reselling. I never heard some of the tips you gave today! Thank you!! Concerning the tyvek mailing envelope…I bought a pair of sneakers that have a white platform and at some point in transit the bag got wet and the red ink from the bag bled onto the shoes. That seller did not have the shoes wrapped in anything else to protect them. I wrap items in tissue paper, bubble wrap or a clear plastic bag first. I hope that helps you and your subscribers! Blessings❤
Hi Amy - Your videos are fun to watch especially with the variety of items you sell & the special appearance by T-bird! ❤ you are so respectful with feedback.- I hope you get to 10k soon. One thing I do to wake up my PM closet is I publish new listings at different times throughout the day rather than all at once. 😊
Thanks for sharing your great tips to help the algorithm! I’ll try them! (I’m still sharing manually but I only have just over 300). So much to list though!🤦🏻♀️
Welcome! Thank you so much for watching and subscribing. 💗 Tbird is a kick for sure! She also screams all the time and throws food everywhere, got to have balance. 🤣
Such a smart helpful birdie! Yesterday I was studying a new to me seller and closet…what I noticed was I have few tops and she has many, as well as pants. I tend not to pick those up but apparently need to.
Hi Amy!! I guess I'm a serious creature of habit...was concerned because I didn't see your video come up yesterday. So, I hope all is well. I really look forward to each video you make. It really helps to motivate me and is so helpful. XO❤
I'm so glad all is well. It's proof that so many of us look forward to your content. What you are doing is important to our reselling community. Thank you @@thriftadventure
@@christineprescott2417 Thank you so much Christine, it really means a lot. 🥰 I was feeling a bit discouraged last week about TH-cam. My dad said something about it, that got to me a little. He’s over 80 and doesn’t totally get it, but still. I’m feeling better about it, and will keep on keepin on. 💗
@@thriftadventurethese parents of ours ! My father is 87 and is negative about everything I do . They don’t get TH-cam , reselling , or social media . It’s hard but don’t let him get you down . Your value / success is not determined by someone’s opinion ( including your dad’s) You’re helping others resell and hopefully you’re getting monetized or monetized soon ❤
@@Mimi4justice Thank you so much for this Christina. I really appreciate your kind words. ❤️ I am monetized, and that’s actually what I was talking about with my dad. I don’t think he fully understands how long it takes to make more substantial amounts on TH-cam. I’m definitely feeling better and recognize that he just doesn’t understand the long term goal. ❤️
Unfortunately I do think it has impacted some people’s sales, but I think it really depends on the type of items we sell. I think we really need to focus on sourcing quality items, and avoid items that saturated in the resale market.
Poshmark has been horrible all year for me. Having record sales with other sites. March 9 if had only 7 sales for the month only 17% of my sales this month 🤪
I’m sorry to hear that. Posh has been good for me so far this year, but I do think diversifying onto other platforms is very beneficial. Thank you for sharing. ❤️
My sales have been low too. Someone ordered a jacket then messaged me that she needed to cancel her order. She didn't look at the size and it wouldn't work for her friend. I didn't want to cancel it but I didn't want to send the item and get bad feedback. Do you think that affects sales? Do you cancel orders like that? I absolutely love T-Bird.
I’m sorry to hear your sales have been slow too. I personally think that cancellations affect sales. I try not to cancel orders, but I look at each situation individually and decide. We don’t want unhappy customers, but people also need to be responsible for their purchases and reading descriptions.
Hi! Click on one of your own listings, look in the top right corner and it will say edit, then look at the top right corner and it will say next, then list. 😊
Even tissue paper can not be recycled at my transfer station. They said it is because it is of unknown materials. So ? I wrap everything. Never just put it in the package.❤
SLOW SALES have you looked at your ebay individual listings?? YOU/Customers can NOT READ your description BECAUSE of other ebay recommended items posted on your page YOUR description is UNDER the competitive listings ebay is recommending YOU HAVE TO GO to the line on the right and state I DO NOT AGREE with recommended and I do not want to see recommended. !!!!

Well it was an XS, and I don’t think that size will ever happen for me again😂
How did the Bday party go?
I don’t think I was an XS when I was born 🤣
The bday party was a fun “working” party getting gifts ready for the baby shower that happened this past Sunday … phew… it’s been busy but so much fun. Now… I’m preparing for when my new great niece arrives.
Baby girl is going to keep us all so busy. I CANNOT wait !!! 🌼🌼🌼🩷🩷🩷🩷💚💚💚💚
I love your videos🥰. You’re the reason why I’ve been selling belts now. But I only pick MADE IN ITALY belts. They sell fast and good price. ❤
Thank you so much! I’m so glad that you’re doing so well with belts! I guess I need to keep my eyes out for more made in Italy ones. 🥰
@@thriftadventure yes. I do well with anything MADE IN ITALY. 😍
Wow, T- bird really is beautiful.
Thank you! ❤️🦜

Hi! Thank you so much for the feedback! I do prefer to pack on the safe side so things don’t get damaged, sounds like it’s definitely necessary. 😊
That lion’s head was amazing!
I thought so too! It was super heavy and well made, such a unique piece! 🦁

My dear Amy thank you very much for your videos you are amazing
You are so kind, thank you so much! 🩷
Love t-bird!
She’s a hoot, or scream I mean. 🤣
Can you share the bags you use to wrap the bigger items in your video (jacket, sweater)?
Hi! I got mine at an estate sale, but they are dry cleaner plastic garment bag rolls. If you search that on Amazon, you can find something similar.
New subscriber! Hope you're having a great weekend!
Omg what a cute surprise!!! 🤩 T Bird is adorable!! The way she was staring at you lol!!❤😂 such a beauty!

That’s interesting. I don’t typically sell basic tops or pants either, I’ll have to give some more thought to that. Thank you!

Hi T Bird!
She says HI!! 👋 🦜
Right on cue, T-Bird 🤣🥰
Also, I've never seen this before, but I'm only seeing a "thumbs down" option for this video...not sure why.
It may just be my Chromebook being difficult. If I hover over the number it says"you like this".
She knows when to perform for the camera! 😂
I’m glad to hear it was just the computer, that would suck if people could only thumbs down. 😅
I really enjoy your videos and learn so much. 🙂💚
Thank you so much! 💜
I think sense the live Shows Poshmark sales have been very low!
Unfortunately I do think it has impacted some people’s sales, but I think it really depends on the type of items we sell. I think we really need to focus on sourcing quality items, and avoid items that saturated in the resale market.
Would like to see pictures of things you sold,just not the same when you just describe it
Hi there, I’m not sure what you are referring to? 🤔 I either included a picture, or showed you the actual item for everything I sold in this video. 😊

How do you "edit next list"?
