Just here and there when my kids were small but nothing serious. When I quit I cashed out my retirement to pay off our debt and my husband’s income is enough to pay our monthly bills. I do ebay full time now for savings and extras. The plan is for my husband to join me once he retires from his job. 🙂
T-Satt: The nice thing about Poshmark is that you can actively push your items in front of people with the sharing mechanism. It does take some dedication and work in the beginning to build up your followers but once you get a few thousand followers, they really start to do the work for you. I’ve only been on Poshmark about 2 months and I have a little over 10,000 followers who share my items all day long. The more you share, the more activity you get so it’s just a matter of how much work you want to put into it. If you have a teenager, paying them $25 a week to share your closet 3 times a day is a good pay off. lol I generally put about 10 minutes of sharing work in a day.
I am part of the Instagram reseller community and “diversification” is a hot topic over there all the time. A lot of people seem to diversify themselves into insanity. I agree for the most part that putting your head down and listing on one platform is how you are going to get the most pay off.
I do cross post some of my nicer clothing and shoe items to Poshmark and I’ve had some success there. I netted $800 in April with an average of 200 active listings and probably no more than an hour of work a few times a week. Ebay clothing sales are very slow for me so this investment in time is worth it. I already have the listing on ebay and I just copy and paste everything to Poshmark and a listing takes me about a minute to complete. I often do this in my “downtime”, when I’m watching tv with my husband or on sourcing roadtrips.
Because clothes and shoes are so in the moment, you really want to get them as much exposure and get them sold as soon as possible before the next style comes out in 5 minutes. There are a lot of younger people who shop on Posh and don’t even know that Ebay exists. I tried also cross posting to Mercari which is as easy as Poshmark, but keeping up with items selling on 3 platforms was too distracting. I can easily handle 2 but any more than that seems to take away from my main breadwinner which is Ebay.
