On many platforms, such as Poshmark, the buyers pay shipping but the seller doesn’t receive that part of the buyer’s payment. They receive a prepaid shipping label good for any package up to 5lbs. (I personally love it).
I suspect a lot of newcomers are confused by this if they had been accustomed to other platforms.
I find this intriguing but since I don't use Poshmark, yet, and based on their website information there is a flat rate for shipping of $7.xx something for items up to 5 pounds, all of which get shipped USPS priority mail and is either domestic or Canada shipping. Do you know from experience what they do for packages over 5 pounds or international shipments? How do they address the added cost for packages that exceed the dim limits set by USPS?
Overall sounds like a great process.
When you sell an item heavier than 5lbs (such as heavy shoes/boots, a heavy coat, or decor/electronic), there’s a “Need a heavier weight label” button in your “You just sold XXX” message. You get charged a very nominal fee depending on the weight (in kg in attached picture because Canadialand).
Thank you I am going to have to look into Poshmark as another one of my diversification sites. I have diversified considerably to the point where less than 20% of my merchandise is now selling on eBay although I continue to list it here it generally sells on one of the other sites before it sells on eBay.
