- Or maybe it's just me. I don't know. But between returns, slow sales, and changing algorithms, it seems harder and harder to make sales.

Sweet Becky, you are not alone. My husband always has to remind me that my sales go in waves. When I make great sales for a few days and I start to feel on top of the world, then they completely drop off a cliff for the next 3-4 days and I’m back down in the dumps! Lol. It’s very cyclical. It also has to do with how much I’m listing, as you always mention, too. But you definitely aren’t alone. Many of us sellers are right there with you. Love and blessings to you. 😊❤️😊❤️😊❤️😊❤️
This is so true!
same here!! Couldnt have said it better. I have nothng left to list so Im going to re list and I dont have alot of storage space so I send to thred up when I need more space but sales are good for a few days then nothing.
Glad I am not the only one. I can be doing everything right and sales still crash! lol
My sales have never been worse. And I AM busting my ass. I know what it's like to not be motivated too 😁 thank u Becky 💕
Hi Becky! I love your channel. I really do. You keep it real! but let me keep it real here too. Ever since the advent of resellers on RUclips here's what I have seen: 1. Disclosure of locations where they get their inventory 2. Those places now realizing they have more valuable inventory and raising prices, or even separating the really good donations out so they can sell those only online (one location's manager told me that for sure) 3. Too many resellers selling on platforms, diluting the customer base 4. Poshmark's IPO and having to show more profits and now, data. I wouldn't be surprised if at some point Poshmark has advertising or pay to play for resellers. This industry life cycle has been accelerated by RUclips and social media. Unless sellers drop off, resellers stop disclosing where they get their merch, Poshmark "fixes" its algo, or stores decide to sell for more reasonable prices, eventually most people who depend on his source of income will have to look elsewhere.
I appreciate all of your thoughts on this topic. Obviously, I don't know or have all the answers, but it does feel like we are in a little bit of a bottleneck right now. That being said, it seems like reselling is on track to just explode. What I do know is there is enough inventory to go around, but I think we're waiting for more people to catch on to a more sustainable lifestyle. Ultimately, I think there's enough room for everyone to be successful. and God I hope I'm right lol
Girrrrl! I am now 54 years old and if I could do everything all over again I would absolutely be a homesteader! I think homesteading is just amazing! I am with you on that. ❤️
You tell it like it is woman! That’s why we love you… When I want a realistic perspective on reselling-The good the bad and the ugly, I come here first. And I always leave each video with so much hope and inspiration and not beating myself up but knowing that my personal best is good enough… What the World needs now is real and you are the real thing! Win win win win win winner! Thank you so much… I had to say I laughed so much about DEPOP , so many likes and it’s like where is the offer to like button 🤣-I actually did reach out to customer service and they said they are putting that on their agenda… So we shall see!
Reading about Poshmark pulling away google analytics, how they are wanting new users to attract their data, I'm thinking Poshmark is never coming back. I think this is the new poshmark. I think they're trying to become like Vinted. Basically I think they're saying they don't care about resellers anymore. They want the casual user because they generate more data.
I feel like going on vacation mode and waiting until the end of the year to see if it comes back at all. Because honestly whenever I look at my phone im completely disappointed. I can't believe how poshmark has forsaken the people who literally built a living off their platform. I would argue those people need the sales more than the people who are just randomly like "ohhh I think ill sell this purse I'm bored of it."
Clearly whoever sits at the top of Poshmark doesn't get that.
L
I think going public may have been the beginning of the end 🤔
My posh sales are very slow! I have always had pretty slow sales and I list almost everyday I have almost 3k listings great prices and I always add 4.99 shipping. But everyone else sells out while I’m sitting, I share , follow , spend more than half my time on posh, even wake up at 3am and list! So don’t be discouraged. I think it was just a fluke with you , people LOVE you. It won’t be permanent. 💕😊🌷🎀🥰
Hey Becky! I gave up on Depop about six weeks ago for the same reasons you mentioned. I sell on eBay, Mercari, and Poshmark, and I had a decent amount of items on Depop as well. I was spending time every day sharing all of my items there, but I was lucky to get more than 1-2 sales per week with 100 items in my store. I just closed it down and I'm thrilled that I can now spend more time on the platforms that are working for me!
Thank you, Becky. Sales have been so slow. I can relate.
I am totally deleting Poshmark. I tried to email them and message them through the ap and other than one useless email sent in attempt to appease me, I have heard nothing. Someone is making a tonne of cash off us sellers and we are doing all the work. Their cut is too high for the volume that is being sold on there and the shipping rates (Canada) are completely insane and make no sense. I’m so over it. Time for real vintage and post-consumer sellers to get together and build something for ourselves.
Hey Becky! I’ve commented this before but you’re the first reseller I actually watched and the reason I started reselling this year in January (: Most of my sales are actually on Depop (I’m almost at 100 sales). I would say my top tips are to get rid of any stock photos since Depop doesn’t allow them, refresh your items at least once a day which is just clicking edit and save, like similar items, and follow other users!
I just recently started selling on depop but haven't made a sell yet. Do you have any free sales advice?
Please give us tips.
What type of photos do you post? Is it necessary to model the clothing?
oh woooooow. this was so helpful! I didn't know about refreshing items and the importance of following other users. Ugh. Sounds super high maintenance, kind of like another platform I know...hahaha...but maybe I'll try it!
@@pmb7927 she gave some great tips in her comment! I'm gonna try it!
Poshmark has been very up and down for me as well. It is basically a hobby for me, but it does get frustrating at times. The past couple of weeks it has picked up. Hoping it will for all of us!
I can see that suit being popular. It has a very Jackie O flair to it, and there is a huge vintage loving community that wears vintage, and style vintage pieces. Whenever I have something that has a vintage flair to it but is modern day, I will use Vintage Style or Jackie Kennedy Onassis, or whatever vintage word or phrase the item reminds me of as tags.
Sales are really bad right now. My last sale on poshmark was march 26th and ebay was on April 6th. Thankfully, I have a couple sales on Mercari going out tomorrow. My plan for this super slow time is to overhaul all of my listings in all of my stores. As much as I want to say skip it, and put my stores on holiday, I am resisting that urge. 😂
Man. I wasn't even the second sentence into the video and I was just like SAME. Sales have not been good but I've also not been at my best either. I'm finding it really hard to keep momentum when it seems like no matter how much work I put in the sales just aren't there.
Girl! You are not alone! I’m very part-time, but still usually sell 5-6 things a week on PM. I just sold my first thing for the month of April on the 12th! This is my vacation fund, so I guess we’ll vacay in the state park this year😂
I appreciate your honesty and realness; it definitely sucks but helps us less seasoned sellers keep pushing through and doing what got us to a start of success-I had just gotten to a nice build up of daily sales and then their stupid crap started. Plus side I finally started cross listing and worked on my channel and I just keep doing the things; also I like how you are real about finds aka the mall brands video-I cannot relate to the RUclipsrs who are like every video is “I found all these huge expensive brands at the bins (or thrift)” like every video! I don’t even find that stuff at the Main Line shops so I find it hard to even believe. Hopefully Poshmark isn’t permanently dead!
SAME!! Its hard to be motivated when sales are so slow!! I would love to see some of your homesteading projects.
Thank you for making this video. I have been selling on Posh since 2013 and have never seen anything like this. I'm offering 50% off discounts and still can barely move things. Ive decided once I sell through my inventory I'm done for a bit. I had a negative experience with eBay in the 00s so won't be going back and can't seem to figure out how to set shipping on listings for Mercari. If you would ever do a video on listing on Mercari that would be amazing!
Mercari shipping isn't that bad. Just weight it and put in the box measurements it will give you the suggestion shipping. Under 1lb is first class usually 3.72. You calculate whatever is greater weight or volumetric weight xlength xwidth /139
I do well on depop. I'm not sure why. My items get featured a lot. I rarely model. I'm 60 years old lol. But I grab stuff specifically for depop, especially funky sweaters and anything sixties through nineties. I recently sold my seventies prom dress from JC Penney. I found it wadded up in a brown paper grocery bag for my now 29 yo daughter to play dress up with years ago. It washed up beautifully. Ha ha.
I wish I had my prom dresses from the 70's. Both were Gunnie Sax. Hindsight is 20/20
How many hours do you spend on depop and do you use other platforms?
Thank you Becky for keeping it so real and not trying to portray a perfect scenario like many YTubers. This helps those not doing good have a better understanding that it is not their fault and cause them to give up. Thank you girl. Wishing you a better month!!! 😊
I sell on Depop. 95% is vintage. It’s not super consistent but almost all my sales are full price. I started using a BOT this week to refresh my listings every hour. I’ve already made more sales this week than usual.
Yes yes!! I totally agree about Depop I don’t get it either. All people do is like everything but they don’t buy. 🤦♀️
I feel the same way about Poshmark. "Likes" and "bundles" all day long and yet no sells.
When something finally sells, is because they send an offer or buy out right.
YES. I have had three offers; I accepted them all. None of the paid.
@@lunamaxwell6190 this right here lol.
I changed my payouts to weekly on eBay. Still learning how to utilize the platform. It gives me a much better idea of my sales. Right now, I am breaking even. It really showed me I need to move to better items.
I love that you've been gardening. We have been doing the same. Also I want clips of that musical you guys are doing. I LOVE that cartoon and just the story of that family.
haha I'll try to show clips on IG! Technically it's illegal to film and put it up on places like RUclips. and YES TO GARDENING. Dude, let's just start gardening channels too....hahaha
@@beckyparkco right!!!! I would love a gardening and home improvement channel
I need to focus on hard good right now because clothing is stagnant. Even the views on eBay are down. I think it’s a combo of factors: taxes almost due, economy in toilet and unhelpful platform changes. It does suck because it becomes cyclical I don’t make sales so I don’t feel like listing. I mope and decide to change careers. Until I get another good sales day 😂 and then I’m back and ready to be hurt again.
Yeah, there's a huge following for Altra shoes. The people who buy them are into trail running and long distance hiking. I only know this because I'm into long distance hiking. Altras regularly change their "styles" (ie: the shape not just the color of the shoe) and discontinue the old versions. People who long distance hike swear by certain versions of the shoes and will buy them on the reseller market for good money used. The shoes only last about 500 miles so people easily go though 5 pairs on a long distance hike like the Pacific Crest Trail!
wow - so much great information. Thank you for sharing!
You are so down to earth and have a great sense of humor. I appreciate your videos which have helped increase my sales over the past few months. My death pile continues to look like yours, which makes me feel normal.....lol THANKS!!
I always take the time when sales are slow to restrategize what I am doing. Perhaps its new photos, relisting, inventory purge, secondary research on what is currently trending. I know that Depop has a younger demographic and they are really after the trendy stuff.
I made 100 sales in 2021 and have made 60 since January. The only thing I switched up was ensuring my store had a 'theme' (similar items, vibes, etc.) and I don't push everything on Depop that I do say Poshmark. I find the platforms are very much different than one another. That's just my two cents!
Love your videos!! Look at it this way, less sales means less shipping and shorter “what sold” videos, meaning more time to list :)
so true. But also depressing lol
@@beckyparkco haha true…
@@beckyparkco I get it..I feel unmotivated by this drought. Haven't sold anything on Posh siince Sunday...Ebay is also slow. Just sold a Free People top for $18...first sale today and had none yesterday. Depressing 100%
My Depop recommendation is to list everything (don’t curate your closet, it’s not worth it), use keywords and refresh, refresh, refresh (basically like sharing on Posh).
Do you think very trendy boutique clothing would do well on Depop or do you think most people are looking for brands like Poshmark?
Funny story...I had an item in my death pile I had run comps on and they didn't look too promising but I am working on that pile right now so I listed it FINALLY and it sold the same day for full asking price. Who knew?
Yeah, danskos can be messy. You have to do the bend test. grab the heel and ball of the shoe and push them up toward each other (not completely, just about 1/2 way), if it cracks on the sole, its dry rot...and just quietly put them back! There's no way to tell otherwise. Thanks for sharing your ups and downs. I get 3-6 returns monthly because something didn't fit right (even though I put specific measurements using an app called Sizely, it doesn't help because most people don't look. as you said, we accept the return, relist and move on!
I subscribed. You seem very smart and positive. I believe that you will figure it out.
Hi Becky! Love how real you are with your sales and I have been watching your channel for a few months! You mentioning about squatters, reminded me of "The Worst Roommate" on Netflix, haha!
I've been doing very well on eBay lately. I decided to give up on Poshmark at the beginning of the year. I am so glad I missed this algorithm drama.
I'm starting ebay too. This sharing thing is exhausting
Hi. I am a new fan:) I love your attitude about returns and wanting to give the customer a great experience. Thank you for sharing your sales, and not just the high-dollar ones.
I finally had a sale April 11th, but before that my last sale was March 1st! I’m not as concerned because I get consistent sales on eBay and Mercari.
Sales are down all around. I have been selling online since 2008 and this is the absolute worst its ever been.
Is frustrating especially when I add all the measurements and a seller ask for a return because it dont fit..and eBay don’t do anything about it 🙄
Becky, I only sell on Posh and it has been painfully slow over the past 4 weeks. This past 5 days only about one sale a day! I also have found there are some shoes, especially vintage that are great on the outside and dry rot is starting on the inside lining. I'm trying to figure out if there is a way to treat the inside. Seems a shame for some of the wonderful vintage shoes that are pristine to have to trash them! Good luck to all of us resellers!
I'm sorry to hear about your slow sales, but yes - clearly, you are not alone. Regarding vintage shoes - yes, it is SO sad, but also to some degree, there's only so much you can do once the structure of the shoe is compromised.
Authentic and true, this is why we love your platform and your videos! Gardening is so fun this time of year, totally relate to wanting to spend more time growing things!
I agree with the eBay comments. I think it is a benefit to be a poshmark seller before an eBay seller as for posh I always packaged my items nicely and wrote a small thank you (nothing crazy but handwritten) and carried that over to eBay. Always get the compliments on the packaging. A nice presentation and a simple thank you goes a long ways
Hi Kathy, why do you prefer selling on Poshmark over Ebay? I am trying to sell on one platform instead of many. Thank you
You are my mentor. I just became an ambassador on Poshmark.
I think your sales were excellent! Compared to my sales that is! I have weeks where NOTHING sells! Then I will sell something for $12 OMG if I sold what you do I would be THRILLED! I am hoping to get there someday soon. I am sure the fact that you promote yourself on RUclips helps and the fact that you are on so many selling venues helps. Your items are a bit different from mine also. And I think your photos are probably better than me and you likely have way more items listed than me. It was an interesting video. Poshmark is still very slow for me.
I'm glad you know better than to compare yourself to other sellers :) My numbers are down for me, but I recognize that to someone newer to reselling, they might seem super impressive! I think it also helps that I have SO many listings. You got this!
@@beckyparkco Thank you for your kind words and encouragement! I've been selling online for over 30 years (mostly Ebay and mostly antiques like expensive pocket watches, jewelry, collectibles and vintage clothing) and I have heard for years that the more items you have listed the higher up you rank in the search feature. My measly 260 items on posh is sort of an afterthought when I stack myself up next to many other more active (and likely much younger and more energetic! lol) sellers. I love that we all learn from one another. I suspect that sales may be down a bit because many people are out in the stores again enjoying in-person shopping and it likely feels good to get out for retail therapy after sheltering-in-place for years. Many of my gfs are out shopping in stores now.... I am even guilty of doing a new flip flops run at Old Navy the other day! Hang in there and keep listing is what we all have to do! Here's to many sales for all of us!!!
FedEx Smart Post is the worst. Since it is both FedEx and USPS no one wants to take responsibility. You could cancel the order and have the reorder with a new shipping option. Honestly I wish I had this many sales. I went from selling about 5-6 things a week to about 2 things about every 2-3 weeks. I’m doing the same amount of work I’ve always done but think I need to just quit sourcing for a while. I don’t want to accumulate for something that doesn’t seem to be turning over.
Totally agree with the requests to return...2 just this weekend. Also frustrated beabout apparent lost packages. 3 since January 1. Ughh
I’ve been doing all the things to make sales and they’ve still been slow. 🤷🏼♀️
We are still consistent in our sales that My Wife and I are having. Of course we have only been doing it for about 9 months (as you can see in my vids) but it has been consistently around $15k in sales each month. Of course I dont use Posh and heard they were having big issues.
I always appreciate your realistic and down to earth videos. Thank you for keeping it real!
ahhhh thank you!!!!
4 days without a Poshmark sale?! Becky, you deserve better!
I just got through a 7 day drought on Poshmark!! I am glad I am not the only one and also that it seems to be picking back up for me
My sales have tanked this week. I normally have 20-30 each week. I’ve had 2 all week. Kind of depressing. I’m considering selling out my closet and stopping the resale game.
Clothes are different and everyone needs clothes! Wants are what I sell, vintage glass , collectibles, etc. and sales have really dropped lately. But clothes, shoes, are things people need.
oof, the fact that you don't like men's buttoned shirts hurts my soul. Depop is better for higher end Vintage or loud clothing. My friend sells his mid to higher end vintage on there. If you're selling basic clothing, I'd stick with Poshmark. Awesome to hear that you actually have good customer service. Your customers keep you in business, I just wish more resellers figured that out.
Dansko... I honestly refuse to pick these up. I'd rather sell Nike or Adidas in poor condition than sell those clogs.
LMAO the $3 Payout. I've been there. Lowest I've had was like 26 cents. Returns are killer.
WOW! One good thing about Posh - shipping to PR is the same $
Thankfully mine have gone up! Mine was crappy for like ever. However I'm 48% over my sales for last yr. So I'm doing better than expected.
Your so right about depop. A bunch of likes but zero sales. I figure its just a waist of my time an just said screw it and deleted my depop account and i just focus on posh,mercari and fbmp. Where I'm actually making sales from
well, I am still waiting for my first sale of the week... in all 3 platforms... WTF, I've never seen this like never
Depop isn't what it used to be, your not the only one. i think I get 1-2 sales a month there, where I used to get at least 5-8 back in the day.
I was slow last weekend and last week but had a good weekend, though I think some great things I added helped that - Jenny Kane sweater sold for $150 and I usually have $20 sales. But I got a brand new pair of Birkenstocks and can’t even get a like on them! I’m also listing 20-25 things a day!!
So you did motivate me and now I have just two to three haul videos left!! But now poshmark has flagged my account so hopefully that gets resolved soon bc I can’t list anything!
Becky! I discovered your channel a couple of weeks ago and I'm making my way through all of your videos. I've learned so much already. You seem to say exactly what I'm feeling. So, I just joined Poshmark and it's a very different platform than what I am used to. Haven't made any sales, but my phone lights up allllllllllllllllllll day long with "______ is now following you". I've gotten over a thousand followers in 2 days time. What is that all about? Is that normal? Followers are great, but what I'd really like is a sale! Ha!
People follow you so you follow them. The only way for people to see your listing is if you hit share to followers. Then people share your listing so you will share theirs to the main feed. The only way it will show up on the feed is if the person is following you. You can also view a listing by name and brand. However the Poshmark algorithm goes by shares. And you sharing others listings
You want alot of followers so more people see your listing when you share it.
@@WarandFlame thank you 🙏🏼 Very helpful info!
I am in the same boat with you...I just keep listing 😉
It's hard to time block and balance various things in your life that are important.
Ever since Posh went public, the board must be trying whatever they can to improve their profits, and it appears they are shooting themselves and the rest of us, in the feet.
For that hat, Ebbets Field Flannels is the main brand and they make vintage inspired baseball hats, shirts etc. from all the old teams. Def a bolo. I found a t shirt in fine condition neck was stretched and still sold for $25.
Two piece suits are coming back..trending for Spring 2022..
You always make me so happy. I enjoy your humor and your little voices 🤣 On the breast pump just wondering why you don’t do calculated shipping? Thank you for all you do. I look forward to all your videos!
Hey Becky. I wanted to let you know something I just found out yesterday that could be the answer to your slow sales. March was actually my best month so far this year even though it definitely didn’t feel like it and then the first week or so of April was great and then it was a sudden death, I mean in activity like shares and likes the whole thing, and I kept checking to make sure my items were being shared because I couldn’t understand what happened. Then yesterday I got the idea that maybe my items weren’t showing up in search, so I edited a couple of items and then searched for them, couldn’t find them, relisted an item also couldn’t find that, then I just shared an item and you guessed it I couldn’t find it. My search is still set to just shared but it didn’t matter, my items weren’t showing up so yours might not be either. Just thought I would let you know what I found out about my closet not that we can do anything about it but for me at least it’s an explanation and I can try to figure out what to do or where to go from here. Good luck and I hope your sales pick up
Its been really slow. I have tons of views and Likes on Mercari and no buyers. Tons of insulting low ball offers. Likes on Poshmark declines on my offers
I wish poshmark would get it together ☹️😩
Right there with you, Becky...Sigh 😔
Thanks for sharing your numbers. Bigger things next week I hope
yes, thank you for being REAL
I've only had three sales during the first half of April!
Gardening and food storage is wise. A quick way is just buy frozen big bags of fruits and vegetables then dehydrate! Those efforts pay off while reselling may be almost a waste of time!, No sales. No profits! It is Harder and harder to do well reselling.
Danskos are known for dry rot. I’ve heard to bend & twist them multiple times before buying them.
Becky it’s definitely not you! Sales are definitely slow!! 😕
I agree, Depop 😤 for me too.
I'm having the same problem
Yay for Kidizen sales! Kidizen has been DEAD for me...though I'm still tricking myself into listing more over there for some reason.
Hi Becky! Idk if this is something you decided to do or not, but why didn't you report the gross sales and other numbers in this wrap up? I always really loved seeing the stats at the end of each week and/or month with the gross sales, COGs, fees, etc. like you have in many other videos. I'm not upset, just wondering! :)
So, regardless of content, why didn’t you send the item to PR in a flat rate large or medium box? Why so much for shipping?
I literally HHHHaaaTTeee depop but I still sold a few things on there. The youngsters over there, love to make you low-ball offers or if you agree to an offer they don't buy. Such a waste of time. I do notice that most of my sales are paid for with depop points or whatever. So, they are selling their clothes and buying with the points they have saved up. It's terrible to use. I don't get notifications of messages or offers. I have to literally go in and check a few times a day but it's free so whatever. I keep cross listing there.
Gas and food rent etc. has got a lot higher and are needs, Less to spend for just things we want.
Why would you want those shoes back? I very rarely ask for the garment to be returned if it is damaged. I just tell Posh to refund and ask the buyer to dispose or donate. Better customer service because it does not inconvenience buyer who must now pack up and drop off the return.
Appreciate you, Becky!
Hi Becky! I’m new to selling on posh and I had my first experience today with mixing up 2 labels on orders. I’m in the process of getting it sorted out with the buyers but I’m being super hard on myself about it. I’m wondering if you have had this happen to you before or if you have recommendations on how to prevent it from happening?
Happens to ALL of us! I recently sent a buyer a 2nd item and refunded shipping because USPS took two days to scan it and I couldn't remember if I shipped the original item (I hadn't updated LP yet either🤦♀️).
Now I am vigilant about double checking all orders or shipping all current items at once. Good luck!
It has happened to all of us! Try not to beat yourself up about it, most buyers are understanding. I just double-check everything. I always write what the item is on the package where I put the label, directly after packaging it up so I know what is and I go back into the email to match up the item with the address.
I just did this. Poshmark was super cool. It's my first time to do it the year I've been on Posh and I've sold 1450 items. So they sent a new label to each buyer for them to send to each other. Told me next time I will get charged for shipping extra. Very reasonable to me. I double check and triple check - and only sent the two pairs of shoes out that day so no idea how it happened!
It's not you... it's a rollercoaster. The economy, the troubles of the world, platform changes.
A lot of new resellers undercutting prices...
My opinion is food and gas have become outrageous. My sales are at a crawl the last 2 weeks. People don't have extra money anymore
I quit Depop for that reason - tons of likes and no sales. Buh-Bye Depop.
I have never sold anything on Facebook marketplace. I just have up trying
I’m depressed. I don’t ever want to go back to a 9-5 job. I haven’t had a single sale in 3 days.
Pls don't be. I get 1 sale in abt 9-10 days though profit is higher per item but sometimes not. If I didn't have EBay, I would long thrown my Poshmark towel :D. I think listing and self-sharing helps the most for me but again don't be down.
I also feel so depressed and haven't even started. I bought a bunch of items (a big investment) and now I see all these sad comments and videos from my favorite reseller, Becky. I also saw how eBay is suspending accounts left and right. They even suspended a really good reseller who has promoted eBay heavily and did loads of sales on their platform. The last my significant other thinks reselling is waste of time and thinks I should get a real job than waste my time on this. Then very last all the chaos in the world. Now I am doubting if I should give up before starting and get a real job like he advises and petrifies me? 😢😢😢
@@abipalm5693 don't give up reselling takes time. If it make things easier work part time and continue reselling. Many RUclipsrs have been reselling for years so they have large audiences which translates into many buyers.
@@4ulordsdg634 thank you for your kind words.I did the training with Becky which was wonderful, but haven't been able to get started, especially with this horrible depression hovering over me. But I am going to just get started and let it be.
Can't, you just cancel and refund the dansko shoes. Why bother returning it. I am new to posh.
Stoney Clover Lane Target took over Target. That is what people are buying
