I like reselling my stuff on Poshmark nearly as a lot as I like buying on {the marketplace}—I have been shopping for there for a decade, and utilizing it to dump my previous stuff for about two years now. However simply because I have been at it some time does not imply I do know the whole lot there’s to know. I’m at all times discovering new methods to maximise my earnings whereas minimizing my efforts.
Living proof: Just a few weeks in the past, I wrote about PrimeLister, a third-party app that automates quite a lot of the extra tedious components of promoting on Poshmark. Although I nonetheless use it, I am significantly reconsidering the $30/month subscription charge after discovering {that a} beneficiant handful of PrimeLister’s paid options are literally obtainable within the Poshmark itself—free of charge. They’re just a bit difficult to search out and use.
This is how discovering Poshmark’s “bulk actions” instruments have helped me stage up as a reseller, they usually can be just right for you, too.
The advantages of utilizing bulk actions on Poshmark
I’ve.efficiently resold sufficient stuff to earn the standing of “Poshmark Ambassador.” Mainly, this entitles me to a badge on my vendor profile that lets folks know I am reliable and ship merchandise patrons love. Solely a few of the necessities for the badge need to do with what I am really promoting, although. Others are based mostly on issues like what number of merchandise from different sellers I’ve shared to my followers, and what number of of my very own merchandise I’ve shared to numerous locations on the app.
All of that sharing takes time, nonetheless—you need to open every itemizing and manually hit share, which takes some time if you wish to share the ten,000 listings that get you boosted standing. This previous spring, I began utilizing PrimeLister to automate all of it and save myself a ton of tedious effort. I additionally used the service to ship computerized affords to individuals who’d beforehand preferred my listings: The app despatched a ten% off supply any time somebody preferred a product, or I may blast out a bulk supply (say, 30% off on the whole lot) that might notify individuals who had preferred any of these items.
I used PrimeLister religiously and it positively generated gross sales even because it helped me earn my Posh Ambassador badge. Bulk actions, I realized, are the best way to go. However you needn’t pay for the privilege—Poshmark has some free bulk actions instruments anybody can use.
Methods to handle bulk actions free of charge within the Poshmark app
Initially, I did not put a lot thought into finishing all of these duties from inside Poshmark itself, because it appeared like the one technique to share my listings was to do it one after the other. PrimeLister’s $30 per thirty days charge appeared like a small value to pay, because it it routinely shared my listings, different folks’s listings, and even my merchandise to theme-appropriate “Posh Events” (scheduled occasions that create a touchdown web page the place you’ll be able to function something you are promoting that matches the theme.)
However just lately, I used to be poking round on the Poshmark app throughout lunch after I observed a button I had by no means seen earlier than. Tapping it actually modified the whole lot for me as a vendor: I had found there have been bulk actions I may full from inside the Poshmark app, free of charge..

From inside that menu, you’ll be able to entry your promoted closet (should you’re paying to advertise your listings), deal instantly with individuals who’ve preferred your listings or purchased from you earlier than, share your listings in bulk to your followers, make affords to individuals who’ve preferred your merchandise, and share related listings to Posh Reveals (QVC-style streams you’ll be able to host your self).

Professionals and cons of every choice to bear in mind
On PrimeLister, I’ve set it up in order that if, say, an activewear Posh Get together is happening at 11 a.m., all of my Nike, Adidas, Set Lively, and Gymshark listings can be shared to it routinely, with out me having to do something—PrimeLister takes care of it. More often than not, I do not even notice a Posh Get together is happening; the app simply shares my related listings to it. Whereas I can share acceptable listings to Posh Events utilizing the instruments menu on Poshmark itself, I nonetheless have to take action manually by hitting Share to [name of] Posh Get together, then deciding on the products I wish to share from a listing of related listings. I do want PrimeLister’s computerized Posh Get together sharing, as I can not log in each hour to examine if there is a social gathering happening.
If you wish to be a Posh Ambassador, you should still have to depend on PrimeLister, as there is no technique to hit these 5,000 shares from different folks’s storefronts utilizing the majority actions instruments. You possibly can share all your personal listings and hit the requisite 5,000 share minimal that manner, however you continue to need to deal with sharing from different closets by yourself. (Actually, although, you’ll be able to hit that minimal throughout your one-week free trial of PrimeLister—I did.)
Although Poshmark does not have a technique to ship computerized affords to likers the best way PrimeLister does, it really has one thing higher hidden within the instruments menu: The My Consumers tab. From there, you’ll be able to see everybody who’s preferred an inventory, add their preferred itemizing(s) to a bundle, and ship them direct messages. You possibly can ship bulk affords on bundles folks have product of your stuff, in addition to work together instantly with previous patrons. Since discovering this function, I’ve made quite a few gross sales simply by creating bundles and sending reductions. Just a few folks have even simply purchased the complete bundle immediately after I created it for them. You possibly can’t try this on PrimeLister.
I am protecting my PrimeLister subscription…for now
For now, I am nonetheless utilizing PrimeLister to routinely share my listings and people of others, however I am now not sending out immediate affords with it as I segue into utilizing the in-app options on Poshmark as a substitute. To date, it is going properly: Between the 2 instruments, I am saving time, and making sufficient gross sales that I can afford the $30 a month charge for now.
But when your personal resales do not justify $30 per thirty days for PrimeLister, I hope it is helpful to be taught that Poshmark has had the same set of options hidden in that tucked-away menu the entire time.
