Don't rush

It’s important to take time while creating a listing. Styling a unique photo setup with the right lighting will help sellers make a quick sale.

Take a great cover shot

A beautiful cover shot makes all the difference. Style your images with a focus on clarity, composition, and lighting. Finding a unique aesthetic that makes your images pop is a great way to draw more shoppers to your closet.

Include a detailed description

Including all the details about your item in the description is key. You want your listing to come up in a search, so you need to have a solid description. Putting thought into your listing descriptions will increase visibility and sales.

Sharing is caring

The key to Poshmark success is all about being social. Your items will sell more quickly when you participate by liking, commenting, sharing, and following other Poshers—just like any social platform. The more you engage, the more you sell. Three-quarters of sales on Poshmark are made by repeat buyers, so get to know your shoppers by providing style recommendations on looks you know they’ll love.
