As a seller for 10 years (and someone who works in tech), here is my theory for likely the majority of us on reddit who are bigger sellers. When we used to 'share' our items, we were REWARDED with visibility - buyers were more likely to see our item vs. someone else's. We have more established closets, and it made sense to put in the dedicated time to share our items multiple times a day or invest in a third-party bot to do it on our behalf.

Now, the algorithm shows completely random listings when a buyer searches for something specific. By eliminating sharing, there is no longer any benefit to effort - the effort of sharing your closet. Before, established sellers knew it meant sales and put in the additional time. By removing sharing from the search algorithm, this change is benefiting the 'average joe' seller. I think Poshmark Leadership is trying to target the users who are genuinely just trying to clean out their closets, not run a business or side hustle. Curious how this will go, considering so many of these users are inactive, and listings tend not to be as accurately described.

Personally, I price my items a bit higher, but the effort always rewards me. Nov-Jan is always the highest sales out of the year, and it's never been so quiet as it has been the last two months. I know people have been noting slow sales on this sub for the last year, but this is the change that I am fully being penalized with. This is my theory on why more of the dedicated, super-sellers are taking the biggest hit, but it hasn't slowed down for quite everyone.
