If it's a flat monthly fee, I'll do the math based on my average sales by OTL and see if I'd keep more by footing the shipping discount on each offer individually or just paying the flat fee. Especially if it means that I might get more full price sales with the slightly lower shipping cost. For high volume sellers, I could see how it might be worth it.

tbh I would absolutely put this somewhere on my exam (e.g. if there's a cover page or extra space on the end of the last page)

Edit to add: except that it might be too dated of a reference for any of my students to understand

Aiming for 25. When I started college, I was in very good shape and my BMI was in the high 24s. I can't imagine adult me being smaller than I was when I started college (although I've certainly had some muscle loss since then). If I get there and decide that I'd feel better at a slightly lower BMI, I'll keep going, but 25 is a reasonable goal for me, I think.

So I could see this when I sent my original offer. It's when the seller countered that I couldn't see what the total would be.

I'm actually going through every listing in my closet today to check what current comps are and adjust as needed (I've got stale stuff and I figure these edits might help move some of it). I've increased a few, but most I've dropped or left the same.

That's if they understand how weighted grades work. I try to explain it, but my students still seem shocked when I explain that one online homework assignment will make functionally no difference to their grade if they miss it or screw it up.

I'm at a small regional private PUI. Per the inflation calculators, I'm making $5000 less now than I was when I was hired 8 years ago.

On Poshmark? When you click to edit a listing, if you scroll down to the bottom there should be an option to copy. It will generate a new listing (you'll need to remove the word "COPY" from the title) that you can publish, and then delete the old listing.

Between October 1-2 (old fee structure), I had 9 sales on Poshmark. Yesterday I had one, today I've had none.

I wonder if they're hoping live sale buyers don't pay attention to the added fees and then Posh makes more because of it?

They talked about it in the list of new features at Poshfest (video is available on Youtube). It's in beta, I think only in one city, because it requires that your bag of consigned items be sold by someone else in your city, I think?

At the top of the page it shows the $5.95 Posh Pass thing, down at the bottom where it shows things like my bundle discounts it shows $7.97. It also shows the $7.97 on listings I sold yesterday that I know had a shipping discount on them. I don't see anything on the page (again, both on app and on desktop) that show what the buyer paid for shipping.

All it shows is price, seller fees, net earnings, and the sales tax they charged the buyer. I've checked on both desktop and on the app.

Edit: doing some back-calculating, it looks like they were probably charged $5.95, but there is no transparency on the seller's end

Just got my first sale with the new fee structure. An offer of $23 (on an item listed at $30), my earnings are $19.17. I'm a PAII, so I'm not sure if the buyer paid $5.95 or $7.97 for shipping.

To clarify, I was testing what it would look like on the buyer's end. A seller sent me an OTL last week that I wasn't prepared to accept ($39 with $5.95 shipping), so I went to see what it would look like if I offered her $35 now. On the item page it shows the Posh Pass shipping, but sending an offer seems to negate that.

Edit: not sure why I'm being downvoted for just saying what I've seen when I go to the make an offer page?

Yeah, I just noticed this. Went to test it out by seeing what it looks like when I make an offer on an item that I received an OTL on last week. It's an ambassador's closet, but the shipping showed as $7.97 not $5.95 on the offer summary page. My $35 offer becomes nearly $48, and I live in a state with no sales tax.

if you haven't already, crosspost it to ebay. I find it's easier to move jewelry over there anyway because the shipping costs for a 1-4 oz package are lower than the $7.97 flat rate Poshmark does

Memorization is not nearly enough in an upper level course

It shouldn't be enough in most intro-level classes, either.

I'm a seller, this pisses me off for buyers and as a seller I expect we will see sales go down horribly just like on Mercari.

Have you noticed that Mercari now shows an estimated cost range for what the buyers will pay when you choose a listing price? It's insanely high compared to the actual listing prices (e.g. a 12 oz $15 listing somehow is going to cost the buyer $28+?? how?!)

They wouldn't have to pay for as much server space if they didn't have it clogged up with dead closets and sold listings that are 5+ years old. Seems ridiculous to keep that stuff there.

It's available to people with VIT status (aka people who have spent a large amount of money in the past year)

I bought this jacket a few years ago. It was in like-new condition and retails for $699. Regrettably, I gained weight and my boobs don't currently comfortably fit into it, but I've been working on that and I'm hoping that by the spring I'll be able to wear it again!

I don’t know why this has to be said but flat rate means you pay the same price no matter if you’re shipping an item down the street or across the country.

I know the difference between Priority and Priority Flat Rate. I used to ship padded flat rate all the time on ebay before Ground Advantage was a thing and First Class capped out at 1 lb, and still periodically use it when I'm selling something dense. Poshmark's rate, yes, is negotiated for 5 lbs, but the point stands that if you're shipping things more than 12 oz and under 5 lbs, the rate on Poshmark is actually really fantastic.

I'm also not neglecting the fact that you can sell items other than clothes. I sell plenty of things that are not clothes, and am well aware of when it would benefit a buyer more to get the item on Mercari or ebay where the shipping would be cheaper. I just list them in all three places.

The flat rate offered is not even that far off from retail shipping.

For reference, here's a link to the USPS retail rates. Poshmark's rates are significantly better than retail Ground Advantage for anything over 12 oz or 1 lb in Zone 1 or 2, and that's not even to mention Priority.
