eBay/Poshmark Selling - Promoted Closet or Boost Item?

I decided to try Poshmark to sell clothes and shoes. Should I try the 7 day free trial promoted closet promo? What is it?

I started My eBay store about a month ago. It is primarily skincare and beauty products but has some clothes and shoes. I am happy with my sales on eBay and have made a little over 1k during this first month. Clothes and shoes are not selling. I do not do the suggested boost that is shown right before you list a product bc eBay takes enough fees.

I am trying out Poshmark hoping to sell my clothes and shoes. I plan on listing a lot of items on that site. I did see that you can order free shipping supplies and the shipping seems to be a lot easier to calculate where it is a standard rate. I have listed 30 items today and I have already sold two items. It seems I make a better profit on Poshmark too but that is just an early assumption.

I don’t like how eBay calculates shipping and includes it in money received and then removes it once you purchase the label. I wish they would just take the shipping out without making it look to reflect as you have that money.

I have hundreds of items to sell but I’m just trying to find the right platforms. I don’t use Facebook so marketplace is out of the question. I Quit most every social media platform last year and I haven’t missed it.

Also, Poshmark has a program where you sign up and receive clothes from another seller to list on your store front and receive 50% of the proceeds. I wonder if that is worth it once I start making a dent in my stuff. I had to majorly downsize due to moving in with my mom bc of health problems. I can’t work full time any longer and I am really wanting to contribute to helping my mom while she helps me.

Decluttering Mum’s Attic! Awesome Finds!

To make some space for my things, I have been busy decluttering my mom’s attic as she needs more help as she gets older and I am moving in with her. I ran across a few big sealed plastic boxes you store clothes and whatever else in to keep it in good, dry condition that was under tables she kept for some reason that I had back in college. I graduated in 2003.
It has been a walk down memory lane but I have to share these two gems I found in one of the boxes. Drum roll please……..
Benefit’s Bathina Body Oil Mist being 95% full and Benefit’s Take a Picture…It Lasts Longer Body Balm that smells like the Bathina. The balm container is scratched up but it is still in great, usable condition.
I will use both of the products sparingly. I forgot all about the Bathina line and looked it up online and to my dismay, it has been discontinued quite awhile ago and it is expensive to purchase off of third-party sellers plus who is to say it is even the authentic products.
Behold the treasures from undergrad that I forgot all about!

Also, does anyone else remember Benefit’s old school You Rebel tinted moisturizer and She Laq makeup sealant that came in a dark blue nail polish like bottle and had a brush along with some other brush applicators for eyebrows, lips, etc? A dried up tube of You Rebel and she laq that dripped out in a plastic ziploc baggie were also in the things I am going through.

I am pretty sure I got my Benefit stuff back in the day from a fun catalog that would be published a couple times a year. I was a waitress and have fond memories of looking over the Benefit product book in the break room at the restaurant. I know one girl’s signature scent was “Maybe Baby” by benefit. I don’t remember it specifically but for some reason I think it probably did smell awesome!

Feel free to take a trip down memory lane with me with lines and products you remember fondly.

Excited About Mega Deals Order!

The Mega Deals had a lot of BOGO free products. I could have spent hundreds of dollars in the shop.

The product I am most excited for is the BOGO Korres Foaming Cream Cleanser. I have used a lot of cleansers and this one is a miracle cleanser. I was about to drop more money on one than I got for two. You may think the Greek Yoghurt in it will go bad or is gross but it doesn’t. It has pre and probiotics that actively help your skin conditions.

The most I spent was on the Ofra Pro Palette Eyeshadow but it looked so versatile and had both neutral and color eyeshadows. Has anyone got this Palette?

I’m shocked I didn’t buy any First Aid Beauty but I have everything I needed that was offered. If you ever come across the FAB Ultra Repair Cream with Collodial Outmeal, it is worth getting it. I had very bad scarring from a bilateral mastectomy and it has faded the scars tremendously. You can also use it on your face!

Stoked about the free product! I’m a sucker for free products! Not really a fan of Dr. Brandt but free is free!

Happy shopping!

I know I have to do drug screens and I am fine with that but am I able to test positive for a controlled substance that I have been legally prescribed since 2008? I have no issue with giving information about what I am prescribed. I am prescribed other controlled substances on an as needed basis as well but don’t take them much. The as needed controlled substances are prescribed by my palliative care doctor for break through pain relating to cancer. I battled breast cancer in 2023-2024 and I’m still here. I am on a chemo pill the rest of my life and some nights my bones ache in a way I can’t describe. Going through cancer is what has led me to do a complete career change but I would like to know about prescribed controlled substance in relation to passing the drug screen.

Just to update- it’s adderall not weed. I am prescribed a low dose of oxycodone when needed for break through pain.
