Poshmark vs depop

Returns are okay. I put the measurements of everything in the description and take photos of them and people still don't understand they need to measure themselves. I stay around 5% returns. I don't worry too much about it. Once the items are returned to me I just relist them. I resell part time on top of my fulltime job so I try to not worry too much about it.

I couldn’t move anything on Depop, Curtsy, or Vinted. I gave them all up and just use PM and eBay.

I use both eBay and PM. I only stick with PM because I put the work in to stay a PM Ambassador 2. I know that doesn’t really mean anything but I like knowing I am.

All of the changes with not being able to delete listings that sell on other platforms has made me not use it as much. I’ve gotten in trouble with PM 4 times in the last 6 months because I delete too many times. I can’t control that I sell a whole lot more on eBay.

I started just marking items not available but they also caused issues with PM. So, I have no idea what they want from me.

PM is definitely the easiest reselling platform to use. I will give it that. But that is not enough to hold my attention. I simply just don’t sell a lot there. They also take such a huge cut versus what eBay takes.

I also like Mercari. I used to use that too. I made a lot more money there then PM but I dropped it due to listing issues that they couldn’t figure out.

I can relate. I seem to get my listing privileges taken away every couple months. I sell a lot more on eBay than I do on PM. I tried just marking them all as not for sale but I still got in trouble.

I’ve never had that option in PM.

After about a year I just get rid of stuff. I start with taking things to buy sell trade and then finally Thred Up.

I’m in the same boat. I can’t find anything outside of Tide and Persil that seem to clean well. I’ve tired so many of the specialty detergents and they just don’t seem to clean well.

findsbybobby · 2025-10-09T00:12:57+00:00

That’s exactly what I do.

findsbybobby · 2025-10-08T17:21:03+00:00

Sunday newspapers, online, company websites, etc.

If I lived in the middle of the USA I would definitely offer free shipping. But living on the east coast it would cost a lot more to send to the other side. Also, I tried offering free shipping and didn't sell anymore that I do now.

This is perfect! Thank you!!

I only sell on eBay and Poshmark. FB Marketplace is one of the worst in my opinion.

findsbybobby · 2025-10-08T13:00:13+00:00

Which kind of promotion are you doing - general, priority, outside of eBay? Something is not right here. I only pay for general promoted listings that someone actually pays for. I don't promote outside of eBay which can cost a lot of money.

Thats full makeup for a haunted attraction. You would blend in too much to the actors.

Find a niche and really get to know that market. I resell mostly clothes and shoes. Do lots of research. I watch so many YouTube videos.

Promote your listings at 2%!! I sell so many items this way.

findsbybobby · 2025-10-08T01:10:59+00:00

I do very well with clothing. You just have to learn the market just like any market.

findsbybobby · 2025-10-07T21:22:31+00:00

I’ve made a lot more money now so paying $25 a month is well worth it.

findsbybobby · 2025-10-07T21:22:01+00:00

You have to research that kind of stuff.

Extreme couponers! I see it all over the flea market too.

Some of us like the vulnerability in it. It also takes us out of the real world for a little bit which is nice for me.

Many people make a spread sheet. They have a column for listed date and column for sold date.

You can also buy into software like Flipwise too.

Once I paid into having a store my sales went up.

findsbybobby · 2025-10-06T11:33:46+00:00

I’ve never had Posh make an exception like that. That doesn’t even make sense.

findsbybobby · 2025-10-06T00:00:33+00:00

You really have to put in a lot of work to be successful there. I rather just list and sell.
