Why Am In Love with PoshMark and Everything About this App.
Sometime in January of this year i downloaded the poshmark app just looking threw suggested iPhone popular apps, i didn't really know how to use it at all so i just had the app on my phone but never really got to use it or play around it to figure it out, then last month in May i finally got a hold of it when i posted 3 pictures of my very first listings i wanted to sell, the directions and PoshMark policy was pretty explanatory.
As soon as my first 3 dresses where posted my 3 dresses where SOLD back to back, i couldn't believe how easy i made money on unwanted items in my closet that i no longer wear we're out of the way and I was happy for the new buyers because they enjoyed everything item on my closet plus complimented me on my style.
Here are my very first 3 items SOLD on PoshMark App.

Why am In Love with PoshMark App.
For us fashion bloggers, or fashionistas or women all over the world,we should love poshmark why not, i love it because besides all the great closets you get to see from other women u follow on the app, is just amazing, plus the prices are great, you find so many things from designer shoes, to new items, maybe an item that u saw in a store and no longer was available am sure in someone's closet in poshmark you will find it, or simply your favorite Chanel purse for a better price. I love this app because not only it helps you create great space in your closet at home but it also helps you make money and not just have items sitting in your bedroom.
As a fashion blogger, i change my looks everyday, i don't repeat items like dresses or 2 piece looks etc, so this was an amazing app for me to have and am so excited i learned how to use it because now i have over 100 listings on my page for other women to shop my closet on poshmark, just using this app only 2 months i have gained 2000 followers and have already sold 18 items on my listings, basically you can shop new and used items from other people using this wonderful poshmark app and at the same time sell those things in your closet that you no longer use or want and of course it should still be useable.
Am sure your next question is How does PoshMark work right?
TO SELL:
- Grab the item you wish to sell and prepare to take photos – model, hang or lay flat on a surface where it will look clear and great.
- Open the app and choose the Sell tab in the bottom.
- Take photos of the item – front, back, side, and a detailed shot.
- Fill in the description – the name of the item, condition, details, brand, size, retail price and your price. The more detailed, the better so your seller knows what they are buying/getting. Remember, if you are hiding a hole or rip in your item, it will be returned to you and you won’t get paid. Make sure you are fully disclosing everything about your item. Besides, please be considerate by not selling items that are already unwearable.
- Save and share your item.
- When someone asks questions about your listing, you’ll get a notification and you can reply in the comments section of the listing. Make sure to tag the person inquiring so she gets notified that you have replied. For example “@mdollnyc I can lower the price to $25″.
- When someone buys your item, you will receive a shipping label in your email. Print it out and attach to your packaged item. You can get free boxes or envelopes at USPS but make sure NOT to use flat rate or regional rate shipping boxes or envelopes. Just use the priority mail. Once you’ve packed the item and taped the shipping label, leave in your mailbox or drop at any USPS drop boxes or post office. You can also schedule a FREE pick-up at usps.com. Yup, you don’t have to pay anything.
- When your buyer receives and accepts the item, your payment will be released to you and you can opt for direct deposit to your account or receive a check in the mail or redeem and use it in credit when you purchase an item on poshmark also.
TO BUY:
- If you see an item you like and it’s available, make sure to read the description first. Some buyers don’t read the description and when they receive the item, they get surprised. For example, the seller may have disclosed a missing button, a pen mark inside a bag, or jeans that were shortened or maybe a little scratch on the side of a shoe. You can also ask questions by leaving a comment on the listing if you need more details on the item you are interested in.
- Once everything is okay and you’re ready to buy, scroll all the way down and you’ll see the buy button. Click that and you’ll be directed to the payment page.
- You can pay via credit or debit card. Note that Poshmark will add shipping to the amount.
- Once you’ve checked out, wait for your package to arrive. You will receive a tracking information email when the seller ships out the package.
- When you receive your item, inspect it thoroughly and make sure it fits everything in the description.
- When you’re satisfied with your purchase, click on the ACCEPT item in the Poshmark app. If you feel like the item does not fit the description in the listing, you can report it through the app as well.
WHAT IS A POSH PARTY?
Posh Parties are virtual parties with different themes. It can be certain designers, a shoe party, a handbag party, a girly girl party, a clutch and wallet party, denim only party, chic work party, etc. Basically, you can join any party and browse and share items that are in line with the theme. If you are selling shoes, then you can share it at a shoe party. Just go to your shoe listing and you’ll find a share button where you’ll have an option to share it at the party. If on the other hand you are looking to buy a new designer handbag, then attending a designer handbag party would be beneficial because you’ll only see handbags there of that specific designer you are looking for. There are different themed parties throughout the day so just check which one is currently running.
Posh Parties are hosted by some of the Poshmark staff but they also invite co-hosts to share their favorites from other Poshers. This is the very first #PoshParty am co-hosting and the most exciting thing about it is that it's Live and right here in my home New York City, By the way don't forget RSVP before June 25th to my Live Summer in The City Posh Party in NYC. Hope to see all of you there. I can't wait and i am soooo excited for this opportunity.
Thank You for Reading.
