About Poshmark
Poshmark is a resale marketplace focused on fashion, accessories, beauty and home goods, with a social twist: sellers have followers, share each other's listings and can sell through live shopping shows. Listing works from the app or web: snap photos, set a price and post. When something sells, Poshmark supplies a prepaid, pre-addressed shipping label, and sellers are paid once the order completes. Buyers can make offers and bundle items from one seller. Instead of charging buyers a fee, Poshmark takes a commission from each sale, which is higher on most items than on rivals. It serves the US and Canada and runs on iPhone, Android and the web. The trade-off: the commission eats into margins on mid-priced items, the sharing-based model rewards sellers who spend time in the app every day, and the audience is mostly North American.
Best for: North American sellers of brand-name clothing who don't mind an active, social selling style.
