We planned to restart daily sales posts on the 1st, but getting sick pushed things back. Instead of skipping it, here’s a combined recap of the first two days and the adjustments we’ve been making behind the scenes.
February is still slow. No way around that. To get sales moving again, we’ve been more aggressive than we normally like to be — especially on stale inventory.
On Poshmark, we gave deeper discounts than usual just to get items moving. The goal right now isn’t max profit, it’s cash flow and getting the account active again. Dead inventory doesn’t help anyone, and sitting on it doesn’t pay bills.
On eBay, most of our time has gone into editing. We’re reworking titles, adjusting pricing, and fixing listings that were clearly under-optimized. We’re realizing more and more that keywords and style matter more than brand in a lot of categories, especially clothing — which has honestly been one of the slowest categories for us lately.
Feb 1–2 results (after fees):
🛍 Poshmark: ~$363 net | 15 items sold
📦 eBay: ~$480 sold | ~$400 net
( Photo Shows Old Labels That Come Out, We hate how ebay does this)
Nothing crazy, but it shows that editing, adjusting, and being willing to take less on older items actually works.
For now, the focus is:
Editing 30–60 listings a day
Moving stale inventory instead of waiting for “perfect” buyers
Keeping cash flowing so we can keep sourcing
We’ll keep tracking it and sharing what works and what doesn’t — slow days included.
This is just what reselling actually looks like.
