Breaking Up, Moving On, leaving Depop for Poshmark!

I am leaving Depop for Poshmark. I used to shop on Depop first before I started selling, it used to be very good for me but sales fell off for me. Over months January to now, I've only made 3 sales on Depop.

I've never liked Poshmark, even though I started one many years ago when I first learned about buying clothes online. I never drove to the mall or to the store, I also liked supporting small businesses and buying local, so that's why I shopped online so much. Except I never liked Poshmark, none of it is my style so much, all of it feels preppy compared to the artsy kid Depop.

The photos here are just a few of the clothes I had listed from way back in 2018, or 2017. It could be earlier I don't know. I focused on books and Poshmark was for clothes.

Poshmark shipping still confuses me. It looks like a flat rate priority fee, Poshmark must not like wasting time.

I am only sharing listings that I am genuinely interested in, I don't want Poshmark to get confused and show me a bunch of stuff I wouldn't wear. I have a lot of followers too, almost 2k for a deactivated account. Maybe that will be an advantage?

I listed 25 listings on Sunday, June 3rd. Let's see what happens this week! My goal is to make $200 every week. So far, from June 1-4 I've made 3 sales!

All these get shipped on Monday. I've sold the Wentworth Puzzle and getting $21.80. My COG was only .50! The Texas flag swim trunks sold, I got these for free, my profit will be $8.92. And today I got an order on Mercari for two books I got for free, and my profit will be $16.77. This means I need to make $153.
