Hey there, future Poshmark pro! Ready to turn your closet into a cash cow? You've come to the right place. We've got some tips to help you stand out from the crowd and become a Poshmark powerhouse. Let's dive in!

1. Leverage USPS Free Shipping Supplies

Did you know that all Poshmark shipping labels are USPS Priority Mail labels? This means you can take advantage of the free shipping supplies offered by USPS, including priority mail boxes and envelopes (but not Priority Mail Express). These free supplies can significantly reduce your shipping costs and help you keep more profit on each sale.

Here are some tips for using USPS free shipping supplies with Poshmark:

• Choose the right size box or envelope: Make sure your item fits comfortably inside the chosen packaging without being crammed.

• Weigh your package:  Double-check the weight of your package before printing your shipping label. Poshmark's weight limits are based on USPS Priority Mail options. Is your item on the heavier side? See my next tip for help on this.

• Use packing materials: Securely wrap your items to prevent damage during transit.

  
  

2. Upgrade Your Labels (For Heavier Packages)

When you print your shipping labels through Poshmark, you may need to "upgrade" them if your package weighs over 5 pounds. Upgrading your label typically involves paying an additional fee to cover the increased cost of postage and insurance for heavier items. Upgrading your label ensures that your package is properly insured and tracked, providing peace of mind for both you and your buyers.

3. Share Your Closet

Sharing your closet on Poshmark refers to the act of promoting your listings within the Poshmark platform itself and on external platforms. When buyers are using the search bar on Poshmark, items are sorted by "Just Shared" meaning if you want your listings to appear at the top of the search results, it's crucial to share them frequently. Here are several ways to do this
