I personally don’t donate to thrift stores anymore. I take my donations to women’s shelters-animal shelters-directly to people in need. I know many others that do the same. Possibly that’s why less good inventory in the stores now. They ruined people desire to donate with their greediness.
@jema9735 I totally hate it all! My sales are really bad this month. I was thinking maybe it's because I'm not using their promoted closet? 🤷🏼♀️ I tried it once and never will I again!
Poshmark really pissed off buyers with changing the fees. They didn’t notify the buyers, the additional fees were just charged. PM changed the fees back, but again didn’t notify buyers so many of them think the protection fee still exists. Economy and politics are playing huge roles too. I hope sales will bounce back.
Here in the states the election is taking a toll on everyone. People are afraid to spend. This happens every election year but this year things are so contentious and I think it’s really effecting the economy.
As someone stated previously, we weren’t spending half our paychecks on groceries back then. Everyone is broke right now just trying to pay bills to survive.
I’m having my best year to date up 38% . But I am working harder for sure!! I have spent more time as well sourcing at consignment stores this year , my avg sale went from $61 to $81. I am close to burn out though, so need to rethink my strategy going forward. Not sure if I misunderstood what you were saying about posh pass but they canceled that when they went back to their original fees, what a debacle 🙄😜
We need a new reselling platform that doesn't betray the trust of buyers and sellers. All they would have to do is no returns, flat rate fees, promise no sharing and no promoted fees ever and promise to never charge buyers hidden and shady fees. Done.
Crazy !!! My posh closets are acting exactly the same as yours, Canada is doing fairly well and USA is like 1/4 of that . 😅😅😅 it’s been like that for a few months for me. I was actually sick for a month though listed a total of 22 items in October but sold 68 so that was amazing and I’m super thankful for that ! Hope it picks up 🤞🏼🤞🏼😊😊
Vintage leather & pleather jackets, chunky grandpa sweaters, and jackets overall are my good sellers lately. We’ll have to see next week with the possible Canada Post strike what might happen too 😢
My sales are still horrible since 2021. It’s super random as in I sell 4 items in one day, then none for 5 days etc with no pattern to the ups & downs. But I never had access to exceptional items & I’ve gone as far as the next state over. My asp is $15 now even though I’m selling nicer items. I’m lucky to make $100 a week. In 2017-2020 I made $800 per week consistently & had poorer quality items. Most resellers in my area sell on live shows only & they say they make a lot of money. But I don’t want to sell live. I’ve listed 50 items on eBay this year & they all eventually sold on Posh so I gave up on Ebay. This was my third attempt at eBay. I’m so lost on how to sustain my business. How does one get worse at their job over the years😅
@ Sorry about your sales. Things picked up for me Sunday, 10 sales. Nothing since ,except 1 today. But my asp is only $15 when u was hoping for $25. Net profit is $5 each avg in the end. Hardly worth it. Good luck in Q4 💕🛍
I'm in the same situation as you for the poshmark USA, My shipping time is usually 6 business days. My posh Canada is taking off, my ebay is doing pretty good too. I think the next 2 months should be awesome.
Hey Tabs, I rewatched this cause I finally decided to open US account. I do have a basic Posh Sidekick, but how do you use their crosslisting up?Would highly appreciate the help. Thanks a bunch.
@ 🤦🏻♀️ I didn’t even think about that. I was disappointed when they took it away because it was actually a perk for being an ambassador. I really love your videos and learn a lot!
My closet is a travesty lol. Poshmark ended Posh Pass which had increased my sales but now? Ugh. And I literally live in the US so it’s everywhere. Not just Canada > US. It’s everywhere. Sales are TANKED for everyone I know.
Love fjall raven. One of my first sales when i started a few months ago. I got 125 i think for a lada sweater. Keep watching for it. Ive mostly been selling sweaters, mostly cashmere. Havent opened a us store and i wont now since i will be closing in january to go to the caribbean for the winter. Maybe in the spring depending on the state of things.
So interested in your experience with the shipping on eBay from US. So we are automatically opted into the int shipping program. We can opt out but it’s a great program for us because it opens our stores world wide. However… hearing that shipping cost you said to Canada 😮 wow. I’m going to see if we can choose specific countries to opt out of that program ( Canada specifically ) and charge our own lower shipping rates. Otherwise though that program is great for us… I just sold a scarf to someone in Latvia lol! But we may be losing so many sales to Canada due to this. I honestly don’t think we even see the shipping a buyer pays when using the international program :(
Interesting. Yes I sell from eBay .ca. I set it to flat rate USA and Canada. But sooo many times it’s over $40 to ship to Canada from USA and I’m like how?? It’s a fricken tee!! So I just watch posh Canada
My posh (US) is making a major comeback this week. It’s outperforming eBay which never happens so chins up that the price changes and elections are over and the buyers are coming back
Hi Tabs :) I wrote you a while back to say I’d been thinking of starting my Poshmark closet but was afraid 😱. Well I did it, I have just over 100 listing, sold some things but it’s a bit slow and so far have not made a huge profit on my coat of goods lol. I know I need to be more patient probably but I’ve also been binge watching all your videos and wondering if selling on Poshmark Canada only is perhaps too limited. I just went to Value Village last night with 30% off deal and spent $117 again…got some very nice things that I think would do well on EBay. I have a question about PayPal…I’m afraid 😱 again lol. Is it risky to link your bank account to PayPal ? I’ve heard nightmares of people being hacked and having their money drained out of their bank. What’s your view on that? I only have 1 bank account and it’s hot all my savings in it. Thank you 🙏 😅 - Camille
No reason you can’t start an eBay as well. I do usually say get good at one platform first. But if you’re good, add another. I use PayPal allllll the time I have my personal and business bank connected and my cc. I’m not concerned. Do 2 factor authentication if they give you the option. I’ve had PayPal for at least 15yrs if not longer.
Posh Consignment sounds HORRIBLE. No thank you. I'd like to retain whatever earnings I can at this point. GAH! LOL USA Sales are slumpy dumpy. Canada is steady. I'm crosslisting more onto ebay but sales are only a couple a month still too..... Just gotta diversify and see if it'll be a slow burn. I did similar sales as you girl, sourcing minimally and VERY PICKY
Yes you can but you need to find a crossboarder courier to get your packages to the us. I think it’s more worth for us to sell in the us bc your dollar is much better than ours. Not sure if it would be worth it selling here for you, if I’m honest.
So Tabs I am coming up on 5,000 unique sales just on poshmark I don't know what else to tell you but here's the deal either do shows either solo or share shows or starve. Unfortuatnely poshmark is now Whatnot light without quite I don't know what else to say but as good merchandise? I am making sales even consistently but it's only because I am willing to get on that damn camera and say this is what this is. I mean when you do share shows the whole I help you get you sales you buy from me comes into play and honestly I kinda of like it. I am dipping my toe also back in the whatnot pond as well. Mercari is dead for me now and it was doing okay but not now. I was even selling expensive sneakers on goat and that's stopped so it's making me think get on camera or starve
My last sale on Poshmark was Oct 6! Terrible. I'm weeding down my inventory and will stop reselling for a while. If Trump wins, the economy will be back and I'll jump back in. Mercari has been way better for me then Poshmark and there are no seller fees! It's my new favorite platform.
I personally don’t donate to thrift stores anymore. I take my donations to women’s shelters-animal shelters-directly to people in need. I know many others that do the same. Possibly that’s why less good inventory in the stores now. They ruined people desire to donate with their greediness.
I can totally agree with that😔
Good!! ❤
Yep, me too.
My usa closet was fine until they introduced promoted closets and then shows. Those two things were a one two punch.
Yaaa it’s def changed in the last year.

Agree, and the economy isn't the best. Groceries have been killing, me this year.
I didn't have this problem with the last election though but this year in its entirety has sucked worse than ever
I was thinking the same thing. I’ve been watching it all from up north.
As someone stated previously, we weren’t spending half our paychecks on groceries back then. Everyone is broke right now just trying to pay bills to survive.
We will be better off soon! Economy will flourish again! 🇺🇸
I’m having my best year to date up 38% . But I am working harder for sure!! I have spent more time as well sourcing at consignment stores this year , my avg sale went from $61 to $81. I am close to burn out though, so need to rethink my strategy going forward.

Yes I recorded the video before they cancelled it. I’m a tad bit behind in editing 😂
Same-and on eBay, Depop & Mercari- MORE LISTING UP THAN EVER! Hope things get better for us all.
I hope so too!
Hi Tabs! Just wondering when you plan on releasing a new video 😃. You’re always such a wealth of information. Thank you!

Let’s hope they don’t 🙏🏼
My posh US died a slow painful death😂😂😂😂😂
Checking sell thru rate Is the key to consistent sales.
It really does, I am starting to see the same!

It is definitely a tough market, I feel your pain, I've noticed the same!

How do you guys do a Canadian closet?
I hope so!
ummm ... we can have both?
Hey Tabs, I rewatched this cause I finally decided to open US account. I do have a basic Posh Sidekick, but how do you use their crosslisting up?Would highly appreciate the help. Thanks a bunch.
Poshmark no longer offers Posh Beta. When they went back to 20% seller fee, that went away.
Thank you for sharing. I recorded this video before the changes were reverted lol
@ 🤦🏻♀️ I didn’t even think about that. I was disappointed when they took it away because it was actually a perk for being an ambassador. I really love your videos and learn a lot!
I hate that they did that, they could of at least left it for ambassador 2s as a perk

No sales at all since the back and forth fee structure
Oh man 🫤

Oooo that’s a fantastic sale! Safe travels Nancy!
My US closet is absolutely dead. Sales were pretty good during the new fee structure then poof, absolutely nothing.
Arghhh so frustrating

What is POSH US? Is that like DESTROY US? As a humble American citizen, abbreviation ambiguity befuddles me 😅
Posh USA. We tend to call it the US
Great content! Thanks!! Any recommendations on where to find a VA? 🍀
Upwork. Lots of options

Me too, I'm just trying to ride it out!
So do you have to be in Canada to do a posh Canadian closet? Because I never heard of having both haha
You just have to figure out a crossboarder courier.
Hmmm....if you're in Canada can you list in Posh US? Can we in the US have a Posh/Canada closet?
Yes you can but you need to find a crossboarder courier to get your packages to the us. I think it’s more worth for us to sell in the us bc your dollar is much better than ours. Not sure if it would be worth it selling here for you, if I’m honest.

What about depop? Do you sell there??
I have, I don’t. But I know ppl that do.

My last sale on Poshmark was Oct 6! Terrible. I'm weeding down my inventory and will stop reselling for a while. If Trump wins, the economy will be back and I'll jump back in. Mercari has been way better for me then Poshmark and there are no seller fees! It's my new favorite platform.
Something has to change. I wish I could have a mecari acct from Canada. It’s completely blocked last time I checked
If Trump wins are country's economy will be tanked and only the ultra wealthy will have spending money.
Someone supporting your channel and then doing a return is super cringe to me.
It’s ok. I understand.
