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.

End of the Month Reseller Report // January 2023

I am a part time reseller on Mercari, Pango Books, and Ebay. I flip books online, I love having an online bookstore. Here is a break down of my January sales. This was my first month back reselling! I am hosting a giveaway to welcome back all my readers over on my Facebook page where I am giving away 12 vintage true crime novels. I also wanted to celebrate by doing a fundraiser to raise money and awareness for my favorite cat rescue. My Cost of Goods were .25! I didn't have to pay anything in shipping, here's a small break down of the platform fees: Mercari: -$3.56 Pango Books: -.79 Ebay: $-1.31 Overall, I had a total of 7 transactions. A total of 9 books left the shop! 3 on Mercari 1 on Pango Books and 1 on Ebay. I also had 2 transactions on Paypal. (100% of the profits went to the rescue.) My goal is consistent sales, I ended up listing only 37 books in the month of January. More listings equals more sales!! My net profit was $17.28, BUT I di...

When Your Best Friend Pulls Out A Yearbook 2010

It's so crazy to look back at myself more than 10 years ago - my skinny jeans, converse wearing, side swept bangs and puka shell necklace self. I just noticed my legs are crossed in both photos. John Earl had a mega crush on me, and we were Literary sweethearts and he even bought me my first typewriter : a vintage Royal typewriter with a locking case. He ended up marrying a very pretty girl and he seems like the perfect husband. I was in Literacy Circle (a club for readers) all years in highschool and worked as a media assistant those years too. Funny how I'm looking at this photograph, 10 years later, selling books.

End of Month Reseller Report - July 2021

How much did I make in July? It's August 2nd and I'm taking a look back at my accomplishments. What Sold July 1-7 What Sold July 8-14 What Sold July 15-21 What Sold July 22-31 I made $235.54 selling books. I did my first ever listing challenge and I want to do another one - stricker dead line. List 100 Items in 13 Days. That's half the time it took to do the original challenge. 13 is also the date I was born. A Baker's Dozen. Perfect! When I told Joe at the Post Office I wanted to make $1k or $800 a month he blew a tire and looked skeptical, and he kinda laughed. We both did. Is it such a crazy idea that I deserve this? That at the end of everything, I'll be the owner of a secondhand bookshop. Some cool things I added to my shop: Magic The Gathering Cards, skirts, I opened my Ebay store and added items but haven't completed the set up. Also, my new goal is to make $100 each week by pursuing sales. Offering to likers on Depop which i never do - posting more i...
