Best for secondhand designer
Found authentic Gucci, Prada, and Chanel items at 60-70% off retail. The authentication service for luxury items gives peace of mind. My closet has never looked better.
Selling fees are brutal
20% commission is really high. For a $20 item I only get $16 minus my time packaging and shipping. Better for higher-priced items where the 20% doesnt sting as much.
Social shopping is fun
The social aspect - sharing, parties, following closets - makes it more engaging than just buying stuff. Feel like part of a community. Great concept well executed.
Lowballers are exhausting
List something for $50 and immediately get offers for $10. The offer system encourages lowballing. Its demoralizing as a seller and wastes everyones time.
Made $500 cleaning my closet
Listed clothes I wasnt wearing anymore and made $500 in the first month. The listing process is quick - just take photos and add details. App makes it really easy.
Shipping is too expensive
$7.97 flat rate shipping is high for small items. A $10 pair of earrings with $8 shipping doesnt feel like a deal. Wish they had tiered shipping rates.
Posh parties are great for selling
Sharing items during themed Posh Parties gets way more visibility. Learned to time my shares with parties and my sales doubled. App features support seller success well.
Photos dont always match reality
Some sellers use very flattering photos and the item arrives looking different. Stains, pilling, or wear that wasnt shown. Always ask for additional photos before buying.
Sustainable fashion choice
Love that Im giving clothes a second life instead of buying new. Poshmark makes sustainable fashion accessible and affordable. The app makes the whole process enjoyable.
Too many bots and spam
My notifications are full of automated shares and follow-backs from bot accounts. It dilutes the genuine community feel. Poshmark needs to crack down on automation.
Found my wedding dress here
Found a gorgeous designer wedding dress for 80% off. It was in perfect condition. Saved thousands of dollars. This app is amazing for special occasion wear.
Bundles save on shipping
The bundle feature is the way to go - buy multiple items from one seller and save on shipping. App makes this easy to negotiate. Smart buyers use bundles.
Mens section has grown
The mens section used to be tiny but its grown a lot. Found some great deals on menswear brands. Still primarily womens but getting better for guys.
Case system favors buyers
Sold an item and the buyer opened a case for a non-existent issue. Poshmark sided with them and I lost my item AND the money. Seller protection is weak.
Great curation and style
The editorial content and style guides in the app help me discover looks I wouldnt have tried otherwise. Its like having a personal shopper on a thrift budget.
Many items are overpriced
Some sellers price used items at nearly retail. A worn pair of jeans for $5 less than new? No thanks. Have to filter carefully to find actual deals.
Home market is underrated
Most people think Poshmark is just clothes but the home market has grown. Found great deals on decor, kitchen items, and bedding. Worth exploring beyond fashion.
Takes effort to be successful
As a seller you need to share your items constantly, participate in parties, and be active to get sales. Its almost like a part-time job. Not passive income at all.
Love the try-on feature
Being able to see how items look on real people of different body types (from seller and buyer photos) is so much better than model photos. Very inclusive approach.
Decent app, niche appeal
If youre into fashion and thrifting, its great. If you just want to buy stuff cheaply, there are better options. Its a specific experience that resonates with fashion lovers.
