With the help of Poshmark, deal-hunters can buy and sell items from each others closets. Poshmark is a fashionistas safe haven. I can honestly say that I have seen deals on Poshmark that can not be found on other websites like Etsy and Ebay. This app is currently only available for iPhone, however, non-iPhone users can still shop through Poshmark.com.
Poshmark seems to be more of a score for buyers than for sellers. Sellers on Poshmark pay a 20% commission on their sales to the website. This seems to drive many sellers to make side-deals through Paypal. Some sellers offer discounts to buyers if they are willing to use Paypal. Personally, I wouldn't make a purchase through Paypal. It is illegal in the Poshmark community, and your purchase will not be covered by Poshmark if anything were to go wrong.
The best thing about Poshmark is the ability to bargain! If a seller lists something for $55 who's to say they won't be willing to sell for $30. It never hurts to ask! Besides the occasion rude seller, I have found most people to be incredibly nice on Poshmark. Many sellers are more than willing to give you a bargain.
The only downside I see to Poshmark so far is the layout. Sometimes I feel like "the perfect bag" or "the perfect jacket" is on the website at a great price, but I just can't find it! It can be incredibly frustrating! However, I also think that is kind of the magic of Poshmark. If everything was easy to find then the market would be greater and buyers wouldn't get as great of deals!
In conclusion, I was actually really scared to purchase on Poshmark when I first found it. It seemed shady, and I didn't want to give them my card number. However, I went for it and got a great deal!
This is the Kate Spade Ellen Bag. I scored it for $35 before shipping (Crazy I know!).
