(Let’s Talk Sales, Fees, and Whether This Reselling Side Hustle Still Slaps)
So you’re thinking about selling on Poshmark, or maybe you’ve got a dusty closet full of cute stuff and a dream to make some extra cash. But before you deep-dive into listing your entire wardrobe, there’s that nagging little question:
Is Poshmark still worth it in 2025?
Great question—and one I’ve asked myself approximately 72 times every time the algorithm acts up, or I make $8 profit on a $90 retail item. 😅
But real talk: Poshmark can still be a solid side hustle or even a legit business in 2025… if you go in with the right expectations, a little strategy, and maybe a shipping scale.
Let’s break it down.
🛍️ What Even Is Poshmark Again?
In case you’re totally new to this: Poshmark is a fashion-focused reselling app where you can sell your gently-used (or new-with-tags) clothes, shoes, accessories, and even some home stuff. You list items, people buy them, and you ship them off with a prepaid label that Poshmark emails you.
Sounds simple, right? Well… mostly.
✅ Pros of Selling on Poshmark in 2025
Let’s start with the good stuff—because yes, there is still good stuff.
1. It’s Crazy Easy to Use
You don’t need a business degree, Shopify store, or a ring light setup to get started. The app is beginner-friendly and walks you through the whole process. If you can upload pics of your lunch to Instagram, you can list on Poshmark.
2. Shipping Is Basically Foolproof
The second you make a sale, Poshmark emails you a prepaid shipping label. Slap it on a box or polymailer, drop it off at USPS, and boom—you’re a small business owner.
3. Fashion Shoppers Are Already There
This isn’t like Facebook Marketplace where Karen is asking you to hold a $6 vase for three weeks. Poshmark buyers are actively looking for cute, discounted fashion. The vibe is way more “online boutique” than “garage sale.”
4. No Listing Fees
Unlike eBay or Etsy, Poshmark doesn’t charge you to list items. You can list 100 items, sell none, and not owe them a dime. (Although… let’s aim for sales, not crickets.)
5. You Can Build a Buyer Following
Poshmark has a social element where people follow your closet and come back for more. If you’re consistent and build trust, repeat buyers are totally a thing.
😬 Cons of Selling on Poshmark in 2025
Now for the real talk—because it’s not all sunshine, bundles, and five-star reviews.
1. Those Fees Hurt Sometimes
Poshmark takes 20% of anything over $15 (and a flat $2.95 under $15). If you’re not pricing items carefully, your profit can disappear faster than a clearance Zara top during a closet clear-out.
2. Sales Can Be… Slow
Unless you’re listing hot items or trending brands, you might wait a minute for sales to roll in. And by “a minute,” I mean days… or weeks. The algorithm isn’t always kind. Sometimes, your listings just float in the void like sad little orphans waiting for someone to adopt them.
3. The Sharing System is Kinda Annoying
To get visibility, you have to “share” your listings—basically re-boosting them in the app. Like every day. It’s… a thing. You can automate it with tools (which cost money), or do it manually like a dedicated Posh zombie.
4. Shipping Isn’t Free for Buyers
In 2025, flat-rate shipping is still around $7.97+. That can make buyers think twice about snagging your $12 crop top. Offering bundle deals or private discounts can help, but you’ll need to get a little creative.
🧠 So… Is Poshmark Worth It in 2025?
Here’s the honest, no-fluff answer:
Yes, Poshmark is still worth it— but only if you treat it like a business, not a magic money machine.
If you’re looking for an easy way to make money reselling clothes, and you don’t mind being consistent, learning as you go, and navigating the occasional shipping drama… it’s absolutely still a solid hustle in 2025.
But if you’re hoping to post one listing, forget about it, and wake up rich? Babes, this ain’t that kind of party.
🔑 Tips to Make Poshmark Actually Worth It in 2025
Want to increase your chances of making actual money (and not just vibes)? Do this:
- List items that are in-demand (trendy styles, good brands, great condition)
- Use SEO-friendly titles (yes, even on Poshmark—think “Zara Pink Satin Slip Dress, Size Medium”)
- Take clean, scroll-stopping photos
- Offer bundles and discounts to make shipping worth it
- Crosslist your inventory to other platforms (like Mercari or eBay) using tools like Vendoo
- Be consistent—list, share, repeat
Final Thoughts
If you’ve been wondering “is it still worth selling on Poshmark in 2025?”—the answer is yes… with a few asterisks.
It’s still one of the easiest ways to make money online from home, especially if you’re starting with what’s already in your closet. It won’t make you rich overnight, but it can make you a few hundred—or even a few thousand—dollars a month if you stay consistent.
So go ahead and list that pair of boots you haven’t worn since 2020. Worst case? You declutter. Best case? You make a sale, boost your confidence, and catch the reselling bug like the rest of us.
