Mayank Makwana
For dedicated sellers on Poshmark, achieving Posh Ambassador status is a significant milestone. It’s a symbol of trust, dedication, and leadership within the platform's vibrant community. Reaching this level unlocks exclusive perks and can dramatically increase the visibility of your closet, leading to more sales and growth.
However, the path to becoming a Posh Ambassador involves meeting a specific set of criteria that requires consistency and effort. It's not just about selling; it's about actively participating in and contributing to the Poshmark ecosystem.
This guide will walk you through exactly what a Poshmark Ambassador is, the detailed requirements you need to meet, and the valuable benefits that come with the title. We will also show you how you can streamline this journey and scale your resale business effectively.
What is a Poshmark Ambassador?
Posh Ambassadors are exemplary members of the Poshmark community. They are viewed as role models who receive special benefits for their high level of engagement and mentorship on the platform.
These individuals represent the passion, dedication, and leadership that Poshmark embodies. They are not just sellers; they are active and helpful participants who contribute to making the community a better place for everyone.
Once a user achieves this status, a special badge automatically appears in their closet and on their About page. This badge makes them easy to identify, signaling to other users that they are a trusted and experienced Posher.
Expectations for Posh Ambassadors
With the special status comes a set of expectations. Posh Ambassadors are expected to:
- Maintain an active closet.
- Actively participate in the Poshmark community.
- Provide great customer service to their buyers.
- Remain in good standing with the Poshmark Community Guidelines and Terms of Service.
These expectations ensure that Ambassadors continue to be positive and influential figures on the platform.
Poshmark Ambassador Requirements
To become a Posh Ambassador, you must meet several criteria that demonstrate your commitment to the platform. Poshmark tracks your progress on these goals, and once you meet all of them, you will be invited to join the program.
The requirements cover a range of activities, from listing and selling to community engagement. Here is a detailed breakdown of what you need to accomplish.
| Requirement Category | Specific Goal |
|---|---|
| Community Shares | Share at least 5,000 items from other Poshers’ closets. |
| Self-Shares | Share your own items at least 5,000 times to the community. |
| New Closets Shared | Discover and share items from at least 50 new closets. |
| Available Listings | Have at least 50 available listings in your closet. |
| Items Sold | Make at least 15 sales. |
| Average Purchase Rating | Have an average purchase rating of at least 4.5 stars. |
| Average Ship Time | Have an average ship time of less than 3 days. |
| Love Notes Given | Leave at least 1 Love Note (a 5-star review with a comment) for a purchase. |
Meeting these numbers, especially the 5,000 community shares and 5,000 self-shares, requires significant time and daily activity. It’s a marathon, not a sprint, and is designed to reward the most dedicated users.
The Benefits of Being a Poshmark Ambassador
The effort it takes to become a Posh Ambassador is rewarded with a host of exclusive benefits designed to help you grow your business and enhance your experience on the platform.
Increased Closet Visibility and Followers
One of the most significant perks is the increased exposure your closet receives. A Posh Ambassador's closet will be recommended on the Find People page to new Poshers. This recommendation is frequently based on a new user's size and brand preferences, connecting you directly with potential buyers who are looking for exactly what you sell.
This feature alone can drive a steady stream of new followers and customers to your closet, giving you access to tons of new potential buyers without any extra work.
Exclusive Newsletter and Perks
Posh Ambassadors gain access to the Posh Insider, a monthly newsletter filled with tips to grow your business and sneak previews of upcoming Poshmark features. This gives you a competitive edge by keeping you informed of the latest trends and tools.
You also get access to PA-exclusive giveaways, which offer chances to win Posh Credit and other amazing prizes, adding another layer of fun and reward to your selling journey.
Leadership and Mentorship Opportunities
As a role model in the community, you’ll have opportunities to share your expertise. Posh Ambassadors can apply to co-host in-app Posh Parties and Posh Party LIVEs. Hosting these events puts your closet in front of thousands of engaged shoppers, gaining more eyes on your listings.
You can also share your experience and mentor others by applying to speak at Poshmark events or by being featured in the Posh Insider newsletter, further cementing your status as a leader in the community.
Tips to Help You Meet Ambassador Requirements
Achieving Posh Ambassador status is a process. To help you get there, here are some practical tips for improving your sales and engagement on the platform. These strategies will not only help you meet the requirements but also build a stronger, more profitable resale business.
Optimize Your Listings for Search
How you title your listings matters. Use specific keywords in your titles to attract the right buyers. Include the brand name, the style name or print name if you know it, and whether the item is New With Tags (NWT) or New Without Tags (NWOT).
The more detail you provide in the title, the easier it will be for shoppers to find your items through search.
Master Your Photography
High-quality photos are non-negotiable for closing sales. Always use a blank, neutral background to make your item pop. Hang clothing to get clear, full-view shots of the front and back.
Take multiple images, including close-ups of tags, unique details like sleeves or buttons, and, most importantly, any imperfections. Disclosing flaws builds trust with buyers so they aren’t surprised upon arrival. For your cover photo, consider using a photo of you or a model wearing the item, which you can often find on Google if you know the style name.
Price Your Items Strategically
Price your items based on their current market value, not what you originally paid for them. Remember that if an item has been worn or is an older style, its value decreases. Search Poshmark for the exact item you're selling to see what others have it listed for. To get a competitive edge, you can price yours slightly cheaper.
If you can't find comps, use Poshmark’s pricing recommendation as a starting point. And don't forget that buyers can make offers, so price your items with a little wiggle room for negotiation.
Engage with the Community
Engagement is key to growth on Poshmark and is a core part of the Ambassador requirements. Follow other users and share listings from their closets, especially items that your own followers might like.
Sharing other Poshers' items often leads to them sharing yours in return, expanding your reach. Also, be sure to respond to questions in the comments of your listings quickly and accurately. This helps the interested buyer and can also answer questions for other potential customers who see the thread.
Perfect Your Shipping and Packaging
Fast shipping is critical for a high rating. Poshmark provides a pre-paid shipping label, so all you have to do is print it. Dropping packages in your mailbox is often the easiest and fastest option.
For an extra touch that can lead to higher reviews, package your sales in cute poly mailers. You can also grab free Priority Mail boxes and envelopes from the post office, which are compatible with Poshmark's shipping labels. For bundles, simply use any old box you have on hand.

Beyond sharing, our automation helps you provide the great customer service expected of an Ambassador. You can send personalized offers to buyers automatically, encouraging quicker sales and helping you reach the 15-sale requirement faster.
We also automatically relist stale products to keep them at the top of search results and instantly delist sold items across all platforms to prevent overselling. This level of automation is crucial for maintaining a healthy, active closet. AlistairBP from Georgia told us, "The feature I use 100% the most—and couldn't live without—is the AUTO-DELIST feature." With our tools, AlistairBP grew from selling 3-5 items a week to 10-15 items a day.
Grow Your Business Beyond a Single Platform
