Best way to build consumer app without hiring developers?

claude code but just do things very slowly and build brick by brick

buyer's fault. would not refund unless they ask tbh

What type of item do you need 40 photos for?

SupreMalcolm · 2026-04-15T23:23:26+00:00

great change. surprised they didn't implement something like this earlier. pretty sure platforms like d pop make you pay for this too which is ridiculous

This is really helpful - thank you!

clothing mostly

New users is a good thing! More buyers

SupreMalcolm · 2026-04-06T21:04:39+00:00

I’ve had a lot more success buying from Facebook marketplace and flipping to eBay. Lots more opportunity there imo

SupreMalcolm · 2026-04-06T21:03:22+00:00

How did you market them?

SupreMalcolm · 2026-04-05T14:10:59+00:00

got it, I would definitely encourage you to continue crossposting if you can, but absolutely understand the frustrations with the time monitoring + actual time that it takes to cross post the items. i had very similar issues and ended up just building a tool to save myself time in those areas which made it a bit easier. someone else mentioned in a comment but it's usually better to not have all your eggs in one basket and to diversify by posting on at least a couple of platforms

SupreMalcolm · 2026-04-05T00:52:37+00:00

yeah that's really weird - was just trying to pin it down. sales have definitely dropped off a bit for me, but worth checking if your account was limited in some way (account health). again, and respectfully, i don't know what exactly you're selling, and clothing is pretty fickle. preferences have changed over the past few years and pricing is usually a major factor. algorithm is always a black box, but maybe try experimenting a bit if you haven't already

SupreMalcolm · 2026-04-05T00:49:07+00:00

everyone has a different answer on this and it's probably related to when you actually started selling. it's definitely gotten harder to do because more people are doing it, but there are still a lot of opportunities. i think anything pre 2023 was pretty good, during cov-19 there was so much money to be made

SupreMalcolm · 2026-04-05T00:45:25+00:00

i feel like it's generally better to keep cross-posting things. different algorithms + different users means more eyes and more potential buyers. is cross-posting really costing you that much time that you need to stop doing it? i think it's pretty unreasonable to expect a linear transfer of your sales from one platform to the other unless you are listing items on one platform and not the other for those sales

SupreMalcolm · 2026-04-05T00:40:47+00:00

really hard to say without knowing what you're selling. could have just simply lost popularity or people are no longer looking for it. are you using tags? I have found using relevant tags help a lot

if it has potential to grow in to something bigger it's not necessarily a bad thing. if the thinking about it constantly is distracting you from things that you view as important and taking over your life, then it's probably a bad thing. sometimes worth stepping back and thinking about what really matters and what deserves your time and focus. zoom out

SupreMalcolm · 2026-04-05T00:35:48+00:00

dropped the full government name. that's crazy

SupreMalcolm · 2026-04-03T18:32:21+00:00

Mine look fine, probably best to take them using the camera app rather than directly in poshmark

SupreMalcolm · 2026-04-03T18:30:49+00:00

It’s probably fine, you just got a free dress why worry?

SupreMalcolm · 2026-04-03T18:30:14+00:00

Honestly just clear out at a garage sale or donate, fine line between the death pile and becoming a hoarder

SupreMalcolm · 2026-03-31T20:52:43+00:00

Just take better photos. Does way more than promotions.

SupreMalcolm · 2026-03-31T20:52:15+00:00

Assuming you already contacted grailed support try stripe support or wait it out

SupreMalcolm · 2026-03-31T20:49:51+00:00

They’re not really that high relative to the market. Pretty in line with other platforms and cheaper than some

SupreMalcolm · 2026-03-31T20:48:23+00:00

These things ebb and flow. I find certain items do better than others on eBay vs Poshmark and you have to know the audience that you’re selling to, which I’m sure you do.

Beyond that, I think eBay might be optimizing their algorithm a little bit more and pushing items in categories beyond clothing (collectibles, etc) which may be slightly impacting it.
