Download the Poshmark app

~15s

Search for "Poshmark" in the App Store or Google Play and download the free app. Create a free account with your email address. You'll set up a seller profile with a short bio and profile photo.

List an item to sell

~23s

Tap "Sell" (the camera icon) on the home screen. Take 3-5 clear photos of the item — front, back, and any details or tags. Fill in the title (brand + item type), description (condition, measurements), category, size, and price. Be honest about any flaws to avoid returns.

Quick Tip

Photos taken near a window in natural light look best. A plain white wall or floor as background helps the item stand out.

Price your item

~15s

Search Poshmark for the same or similar item and filter by "Sold" to see what others got for it. Price your item 10-20% higher than your minimum so there's room to accept offers. Poshmark lets buyers make offers — you can accept, decline, or counter.

Ship when something sells

~24s

When an item sells, Poshmark emails you a prepaid USPS shipping label. Print it or show it on your phone at the post office. Pack the item securely — a plastic bag inside a mailer bag or small box works well. Drop it off at any post office or USPS blue mailbox within 7 days.

Quick Tip

Poshmark charges buyers a flat $7.97 shipping fee, so shipping is completely free for you as the seller.

Buy items safely

~22s

Browse using the search bar or tap categories to explore. Filter by size and price. Read item descriptions carefully and look at all photos. You can ask the seller questions by tapping "Ask a Question." Pay using a credit card, PayPal, or Poshmark credits.

Warning

Never complete a transaction outside the Poshmark app. Scammers sometimes ask to pay by Venmo or check — doing this removes all buyer protections.

Poshmark is a popular app and website where people buy and sell new and used clothing, shoes, handbags, and accessories. It's one of the most trusted resale platforms in the United States, with millions of active buyers and sellers.

If your closet is full of clothes you never wear, Poshmark makes it straightforward to sell them and earn money. Many people find that selling just a few items covers the cost of buying something new. Popular items include name brands like Nike, Coach, Levi's, and Lululemon.

For buyers, Poshmark offers a way to find quality clothing at much lower prices than retail. You can browse by brand, size, color, and price range. All purchases are protected — if an item doesn't match its description, Poshmark holds the payment until you confirm the item arrived as expected.

Sellers ship items using pre-paid shipping labels that Poshmark provides. You drop the package off at any USPS location. Poshmark takes 20% of the sale price (or a flat $2.95 for items under $15), and you keep the rest. Earnings can be deposited to your bank account or used to buy items on the app.

The app is free to download and use. Listing items is free — you only pay when something sells. You can list as many items as you want and there's no time limit for listings.
