I’ve got this message from the listing tool I’m currently using. Be aware that simple sharing doesn’t count as activity.

Poshmark recently rolled out a new Inactive Listings policy, and we want to make sure your closet doesn't lose its search visibility.
What is happening?
Under the new policy, any listing that doesn’t receive an edit, offer, comment, or bundle within 60 days is automatically marked as "inactive." This causes the item to drop significantly in Poshmark's search and browse results.
⚠️* Crucial update: Standard sharing does NOT count as activity to prevent this and Relisting may not work if listing is deactivated*.

Not too long ago I watched a TikTok, where the seller shared a story how they sold a formal dress and when it got delivered, the buyer claimed the package never showed up. Then first thing Monday package magically appears at her house and the dress is damaged. The seller lost the case even though she provided support with pictures etc. I felt bad for the seller and at the same time I was thinking that could be me tomorrow.

And it happened to me! But my story ended up being ok because money got auto released the day prior to her complaints.

I sold a girl’s formal dress that retails for over $250 and sold it to her for $32. I disclosed a small blemish that wasn’t really visible. Dress gets delivered on Wednesday and the following Monday morning buyer messaged me how she was unhappy about the condition of the dress and how Poshmark should punish me. I didn’t interact with her. I guess she realized she couldn’t return the dress as it was passed the window, but I’m sure she tried.

But I’m convinced some buyers treat Poshmark as a rental service for their fancy weekend events.
