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.
