USPS

USPS just rolled out free Ground Advantage boxes and mailers for Poshmark sellers — but eBay sellers didn’t get the same deal. Poshmark users can order multiple sizes of GA boxes, padded mailers, and envelopes at no cost, shipped straight to their door.

eBay moves a massive amount of USPS volume every single day, so why isn’t eBay pushing for the same partnership? If Poshmark can get exclusive free packaging, eBay should absolutely be able to negotiate the same terms for its sellers — especially with Ground Advantage replacing First Class and Parcel Select.

eBay: are you working on getting your sellers access to the same free USPS Ground Advantage supplies that Poshmark is getting? If not, you need to. Sellers shouldn’t be at a competitive disadvantage.

The selling fee on Poshmark is 20% or a flat fee of $2.95 for items under $15. I pay much less than that here on ebay.

So those "free" shipping materials aren't really free.

TLDR - Poshmark doesn't offer Priority boxes anymore, so these are taking their place.

You can buy your own boxes for about 50 cents each, it's not worth getting upset about.  Nothing is truly "free".

Ebay representatives that negotiate shipping cost discounts aren't here. We are your peers just answering your questions or give advice. There is nothing we can do to make that change. Personally I wouldn't worry too much about that to be honest with you.
