Poshmark OTL: How the Offers Feature Works on Poshmark

Let’s explore exactly how sending offers works on Poshmark. Poshmark’s offers feature allows both sellers and buyers to negotiate, providing a flexible way to secure sales at competitive prices. Here’s an in-depth look at how it works:

• Offers to Likers (OTL):
  As a seller, you can send exclusive offers to users who’ve liked your item, giving them a private discount. Poshmark requires that offers to likers include at least a 10% discount off the listing price.
• Minimum Discount and Time Requirements:
  To send a new offer to likers on the same item, the discount must be at least 10% lower than any previous offer sent within the last 90 days. This ensures that likers see progressive discounts, adding urgency to buy.
• Expiration of Offers:
  Offers to likers remain valid for 24 hours. Buyer-initiated offers last 48 hours or until they are accepted, countered, or declined by the seller.

Using Vendoo’s Send Offers feature, you can simplify this process by sending manual or automated bulk offers to likers on Poshmark and other platforms like Depop, eBay, and Mercari. This will save you time and effort across all your listings.

Why Offers Matter on Poshmark

Sending offers is one of the best ways to make sales on Poshmark. Poshmark has announced that most sales on the marketplace come from seller-initiated offers.

Offering discounts on Poshmark is a go-to strategy for resellers looking to encourage that “buy now” mindset in shoppers. Offers can feel like personalized deals for buyers, which adds a nice touch of urgency, making them highly effective in a competitive marketplace.

How to Send Offers on Poshmark: A Step-by-Step

Whether it’s sending offers to likers or making bulk offers to buyers, Poshmark offers several ways to attract customers. Here’s a step-by-step on how you can do it:

1. Identify Interested Buyers
   Offers work best when sent to recent “Likers” on your items. Targeting those who have shown interest increases your chances of making a sale.
2. Determine Your Offer Discount
   Poshmark requires at least a 10% discount from the listing price for it to count as an official “Offer to Likers.” Consider setting a discount rate that entices buyers without affecting your profit margins.
3. Set a Shipping Discount
   Poshmark offers optional discounted or free shipping with offers, which often sweetens the deal for buyers. However, shipping discounts are an additional cost, so factor this into your pricing strategy.
4. Send Offers with Vendoo’s ‘Send Offers’ Tool
   With Vendoo’s latest feature, you can now manually send bulk offers on Poshmark or automate them across multiple platforms. Use this tool to set custom discount rates and shipping discounts. You can even create rules for when and how often to send offers!

Poshmark Offer Etiquette: Tips for Success

It’s not just about sending offers—it’s also about creating a positive buying experience. Here are a few etiquette tips for sending offers on Poshmark.

• Send Offers as Soon as Possible
  Sending offers as soon as possible after someone “likes” your item is key- not only to making more sales, but to offer immediate attention to the prospective buyer. This is why automating Poshmark offers with Vendoo is so important. 
• Don’t Spam with Offers
  Frequent offers on the same items can feel pushy and annoy buyers with an influx of notifications. 
• Don’t Call Buyers Out
  Don't sweat if a buyer sends a low counteroffer or declines your offer! Do not reach out to express frustration.
• Stay Responsive
  If a buyer responds to an offer with questions, answer quickly. It shows that you’re committed to customer service, increasing your chances of closing the deal.
• Cancel Offers if You Sell An Item
  If you sell an item on another marketplace that has existing be sure to remove it from Poshmark. If a buyer accepts and you have to cancel the sale, it can take weeks for a buyer to receive a refund from Poshmark

💡Tip: With Vendoo’s Sale Detection feature, your items will be automatically delisted from Poshmark after the sale- even if there are existing offers! 

How to Cancel an Offer on Poshmark

It’s rare, but there are instances where canceling an offer might be necessary. Currently, Poshmark does not allow sellers to cancel an offer to likers once it’s been sent, but there is a workaround: Poshmark offers will automatically cancel if you modify the listing size. 

To cancel an offer you sent on Poshmark:

1. Edit the listing and change the size
2. Save the changes
3. Revise the listing to fix the size
4. Save the changes

This works because if a seller materially changes the listing (for example, changing the size), Poshmark automatically cancels the existing offer to prevent a liker from purchasing without recognizing the changes. 

💡Tip:  Avoid letting “lowball offers” get to you—it is simply part of reselling. Buyers do not think about the time you spend sourcing, photographing, or listing; they do not think about you at all. They are simply trying to get the best deal possible.
