Step 2: List your products for sale
The key to making sales on Poshmark is presenting your products in a way that builds buyer confidence and encourages quick purchases.
This means using high-quality images, detailed descriptions, and competitive pricing. Let’s walk through best practices for each.
Take high-quality product photos
Great product photos are essential on Poshmark. Listings with clear, well-lit images stand out in search results, attract more buyers, and build trust. Since Poshmark is a visual marketplace, the goal is to create professional, eye-catching images that make your products shine.
To capture high-quality product photos that make your products stand out, be sure to:
Use natural lighting or a ring light to avoid harsh shadows and color distortion.
Choose a clean, distraction-free background like white or neutral background to ensure that products pop. Bonus: this also improves visibility in Google Shopping ads.
Showcase multiple angles and close-ups. Buyers want to see details like fabric texture, logos, and any imperfections before making a purchase. Offer multiple product photos, from multiple angles, that showcase all of the details that your buyers will care about.

Edit and enhance your product photos with AI

Here are some tools that will help:
AI Background Remover. Automatically removes cluttered or distracting backgrounds, creating a clean, studio-quality look.
AI Backgrounds. Generate realistic backgrounds that match your product style, helping create engaging, on-brand visuals.

AI Retouch. Seamlessly removes unwanted objects or distractions from your photos, keeping the focus on your product.

Write a compelling product description
A well-written description helps buyers understand what they’re purchasing and reduces the chances of returns.
Include key details such as:
Brand. Name the designer or brand (for example, "Nike Air Force 1 Sneakers").
Size and fit. Provide exact measurements, especially for clothing, since sizing can vary.
Condition. Be transparent about wear and tear. Mention any flaws, even minor ones, to build trust.
Style and features. Describe the fabric, color, cut, and unique design details.
Keywords. Use relevant terms buyers might search for, like "boho maxi dress" or "leather crossbody bag."
Set a competitive price
Pricing correctly can make the difference between a quick sale and an item sitting in your shop for weeks. Here are a few best practices:
Check similar listings on Poshmark to gauge pricing trends.
Consider retail value and condition. If an item is brand new with tags, it can be priced higher than a gently used piece.
Use Poshmark’s offer feature to engage potential buyers and encourage negotiation.
Bundle discounts can attract shoppers who want to purchase multiple items from your closet.
Tip: Poshmark offers advanced filtering and sorting capabilities on their shopping pages. Use these to find similar items to what you’re listing. Note the category, sub-category, and prices for similar products. You can also use this to look at how your competition is positioning their products, and find ways to differentiate your listing.
A polished listing with professional-quality images, a clear description, and fair pricing will increase your chances of making a sale quickly. Once your items are listed, it’s time to start engaging with the Poshmark community to drive traffic to your shop.
Step 3: Make the sale and ship your product
Once a buyer purchases your item, Poshmark makes the shipping process simple by providing a pre-paid, pre-addressed shipping label.
Follow these steps to complete and ship your sale item.
Check your email for the sale confirmation. This will include the shipping label and buyer details.
Package your item securely following requirements for your country’s primary shipping carriers.
Attach the shipping label and drop the package off at a nearby shipping location (like USPS or Canada Post), schedule a free pickup, or use Poshmark’s QR code shipping option at the post office.
Track the shipment through the Poshmark app and wait for buyer acceptance. Once confirmed, funds are released to your Poshmark account.
This process makes it easier (and safer) to sell and ship items to your customers. Timely shipping and secure packaging are critical to building buyer trust and attracting repeat customers.
