The problem with Posh is that it is too dependent on follows for follows, sharing each other’s listings and that sort of nonsense that got Etsy off to a slow start. Poshmark search is crap. If I search a particular brand and style or size, it will return everything under the sun. If the future is these live selling parties in the middle of the night, my sales will be even more dismal than they are now. Posh is for people with nothing else to do. If you want to list items for sale that will be seen by potential buyers, this is not the place to do it.
I only list on Posh what I cannot legitimately list on Etsy and what has way too much price competition on eBay. And, most of what I have listed on Posh is cross listed elsewhere and sells elsewhere.
A Posh sale is a rare happy moment.
