Reviving Stale Poshmark Listings

Why Refreshing Poshmark Listings is Crucial for Sales

As a Poshmark reseller, you understand the thrill of a new listing. But what happens when that listing sits for weeks, or even months, collecting digital dust? It becomes a stale Poshmark listing, buried deep in search results and rarely seen by potential buyers. This is a common frustration for sellers, who often wonder about the best ways to revive their inventory.

Relisting an item is a straightforward and beneficial process that can breathe new life into your closet. It's one of the most effective strategies for increasing the visibility of your listings and can potentially lead to a long-awaited sale.

When an item is newly listed or refreshed, Poshmark's algorithm gives it a significant boost. It appears at the top of search results and in the feeds of users browsing the platform. More importantly, it gets featured in the coveted “Just In” category, which is dedicated specifically to newly listed items. This placement is critical for capturing the attention of new buyers who might not have seen your item during its initial run.

Think of it as giving your listing a fresh makeover. Relisting is your chance to update photos or refine descriptions, making the item more attractive to potential buyers and ultimately reviving its sales potential.

When Should You Relist? Identifying Stale Poshmark Listings

Knowing when to relist is just as important as knowing how. Many sellers, like user SkatingGator on Reddit, ask if there's a specific number of days or a perfect window for relisting. The community and best practices point to a few key triggers.

A widely accepted best practice is to consider relisting any item that has been active for more than 60 days. The primary reason for this 60-day rule is to get the item back into the "Just In" feed, giving it the visibility of a brand-new listing.

Other sellers mention relisting after a Closet Clear Out (CCO) event. If an item didn't sell despite the promotional push of a CCO, it's a strong candidate for a fresh start. Ultimately, if you feel an item has been sitting for a while and has gone stale, it's time to consider giving it a new life through relisting.

The Manual Grind: Poshmark's Built-in Relisting Method

While relisting is powerful, Poshmark currently does not have a simple, one-click way to do it. The platform provides a "Copy Listing" feature, but it's a manual process that can be very time-consuming, especially if you have a large inventory. User SkatingGator expressed hope for a quicker way than deleting and starting fresh, but the manual method is unfortunately not much faster.

Here is a step-by-step guide to the "hard way" of relisting on Poshmark:

1. First, navigate to “My Closet” on the Poshmark app or website.
2. Select the listing you want to relist.
3. In the top right corner of the listing page, select “Edit Listing”.
4. Scroll all the way to the bottom of the editing page.
5. Select the “Copy Listing” button.
6. A pop-up will appear to confirm. Select “Yes”.
7. Poshmark will create a new listing draft, but it will have the word “Copy” or "COPY - " at the beginning of the title.
8. You must manually remove the word “Copy” from the title. If the original title was long, this prefix might truncate the end of it. To fix this, you can select the title and replace it by pasting the original title from your clipboard.
9. Once the title is fixed and you've made any other desired updates, select "List" to publish the new listing.
10. Crucially, do not forget to go back and delete the original listing. This prevents having duplicate items in your closet, which can confuse buyers and clutter your inventory.

While this method works, the time investment is significant. For resellers looking to grow their business, spending hours copying and deleting listings is time that could be spent sourcing new inventory or engaging with customers.

Third-Party Tools: A Faster Way to Refresh Your Closet

The tedious nature of manual relisting has led to the development of third-party tools designed to streamline the process. These tools can save resellers countless hours and make inventory management far more efficient.

Closet Assistant: The Chrome Extension Method

One of the quickest ways to relist on Poshmark is by using a tool like the Closet Assistant. This is a Google Chrome extension that plugs directly into your Chrome browser and adds new functionality to the Poshmark website.

Its relist/delete feature is designed specifically to save you time. The main advantage of using the Closet Assistant is the ability to relist as many listings as you want all at once, turning a lengthy task into a few simple clicks.

Using the Closet Assistant involves these steps:

• Navigate to your closet page on Poshmark.
• Select the "Relist/Delete listing" feature from the tool's menu.
• Choose your "Relist mode". The tool offers several options to help you target the right items:
  • No Likes mode: This will display all items in your closet that currently have no likes.
  • Custom mode: This allows you to manually select exactly which items you want to relist.
  • X Days Old mode: You can enter a number, such as 60, and the tool will queue up all items that are 60 days or older for relisting.
• Before you begin, you can filter your items from “New to Old” or “Old to New” and remove any specific items from the queue by selecting the "X" on the right side of the item.
• Once you have your desired items selected, you simply select "Start".

This approach is a significant improvement over the manual method. However, it still requires you to be on a desktop computer with a Chrome browser and have the Poshmark website open. For resellers who need more power, flexibility, and comprehensive automation, there are even more advanced solutions.

Final Best Practices for Reviving Your Poshmark Listings

Whether you choose to relist manually or use a powerful automation tool, a few best practices will ensure your refreshed listings get the attention they deserve.

Give It a Makeover: Relisting is the perfect opportunity to improve your original post. Take new photos if the old ones weren't clear or well-lit. Reread your description and see if you can make it more appealing or add more details. Updating photos and descriptions can make your item significantly more attractive.

Be Strategic with Timing: Stick to the 60-day rule to get your items back into the "Just In" feed. Also, consider relisting items that failed to sell after a big Poshmark event like Closet Clear Out to give them a second chance with a new audience.

Clean Up Your Closet: Always remember to delete the original listing after you've successfully copied and published the new one. This keeps your closet professional and prevents buyers from getting confused by duplicate posts.

Perfect the Title: If you're using Poshmark's manual "Copy Listing" feature, double-check the title to ensure you've removed the "COPY - " prefix and that no important keywords were cut off.
