 I won't make that mistake again!  Why I spent almost three hours fixing my listing prices on my Poshmark Closet!

Yesterday, I saw the "Drop Prices Now" banner on my feed and decided I'd try it again.  After all, last time it did result in a few sales! So, I went to Bulk drop prices and put in 50% and hit the go button.  Boy howdy, did I think I was smart or what?  

Apparently, I was not!  In a few minutes I made a sale on an item I had listed at at least 10 or 15 dollars.  It sold for $4!  WTF! I made all of .05.  I spent more on the tissue paper, card, and tape than that for sure. So, I looked at other items in my closet.  My Ann Taylor wedding dress was now listed at $87! I had it at $225!  

OMG, everything was way too low.  I do not know what happened but it had to be fixed.  Some were even marked as not for sale because it lowered the item to $2.  I have over 840 listings.  I had too go into each listing, edit it to restore a reasonable price and list it again.  Let's see, I started around 8:30 and finished at the middle of Carol Burnett reruns that came on at 11!  About 3 hours!  

When I was working on them, I noticed that I did not lose the likes or offers on anything but some of the offers were higher than the listing price the automated system generated!  I'm sad to lose money on the item sold but glad it brought the issue to my attention.  It's all fixed now, thank goodness.

Chalk it up to lesson-learned.  

I always make generous offers because I just like finding good items and and getting them to people who really want them and will appreciate them.  However, I do like making a bit more than nothing or .05!

For the rest of November, deals include:
