Coach, Michael Kors, and Ray-Bans are all hot name-brand items every girl loves! However, the cost of that cute Coach purse is way too expensive, especially for a college student to afford. Luckily, there is an awesome website that most people do not know about: Poshmark.
Poshmark is a website created for those who cannot afford to purchase brand new designer items. It is a site that people can buy, trade, or sell their named brand items for next to nothing! They also have an app that can be used for easy access on your phone. You can find Ugg boots for $50, Michael Kors bags for $80, and tons of other gently used items! It's a great website and very safe.
You type in the item you want and scroll through pictures of tons of different styles and colors until you fall in love. You are able to "heart" items to save to your likes so you can get updates. If a price lowers, you will get an update on your hearted item and you can also see if anything you had your eye on has sold. You are able to comment on posts and talk to the seller so if you have any questions, they can be answered. Then, you are able to offer an amount or buy right away for the price posted. Once your offer is accepted, the seller then ships the product. But do not worry, there is a safe system to make sure everyone gets paid and receives their items.
Once you buy an item, your money is taken out of your account and Poshmark holds the money. It is a little over five dollars for shipping that the buyer pays for. However, sometimes the seller will offer to pay for shipping. The shipping is tracked and is priority mail. Then, once the buyer receives their item, they click "received" and the money is released to the seller.
The money is then added to your Poshmark account that can be used for purchasing items on Poshmark or you can have it transferred to your personal bank account. If you have any issues, there are many ways to contact Poshmark to get things corrected.
Poshmark does take a percent of the money you earn, but not a huge amount: $2 on a profit less than $20 and about 18 percent on anything higher. It is a great way to make money, too. You do not have to sell name brand items. Clothes, shoes, jewelry, sunglasses, purses, and so much more can be bought or sold through Poshmark.
It is a hidden gem that most college kids and others do not know about, but should! Make money and buy cute, designer items for less. New and unique items are added each day! But do not wait too long, because someone might buy what you want.
