Too Expensive.
I’m confused. Poshmark sells used clothing. Are they going to sell used homegoods, too, like sheets and sofas? Ick! Or are they just encouraging drop-shippers selling cheap goods from China with designer labels?
No furniture, but an otherwise ambiguous definition of what qualifies as “Home Goods”. In just a few short days the site looks like a giant yard sale with hideous knick knacks, dime store paperbacks, and macrame wall art. How this is supposed to meld with high end designer clothing is a mystery. How could they not have anticipated that they were opening another platform for sellers desperate for an alternative to Ebay? Unless that was their intention. They must be watching Etsy’s evolution and want a piece.
