Make an Offer Tips & Etiquette & Basic Rules

Not for sale

Like and save for later

Here’s just a few of my basic negotiating tips & etiquette: 🙂 when you make me an offer and I counter that offer, feel free to continue (so...many.....buyers.......disappear 🙃) 🚫 don’t counter with minute increments of $1 or $2 (I’ve only started encountering this recently in the last few months—once last year, however) 🚫 ⭐️ reasonable offers preferred ⭐️ Thank you for reading! 🌷 ❤️@poshielisa Made this post 04/21/2020. Feel free to be inspired by this post but please don’t plagiarize.

dime_diva_finds @poshielisa nice! You are so much nicer than me 😂

poshielisa @dime_diva_finds Aw thanks...but lately, yeah, been frustrated with certain lowball bargaining, I may just now end up ignoring lowball offers, who needs the frustration and waste of time 😫🤣 if they’re serious, they’ll come back later and will make a more reasonable offer, if not, someone else will. I had a recent lowball plus $1 increment bargainer and within hours someone else bought the item at a more reasonable price. So there. Take that, lowballer! 😆

jill7326 I LOVE THIS...especially..the part referencing the $1, $2, etc. I so wish I could copy this! Ha ha! Nicely put:) ❤️

poshielisa @jill7326 Thank you! ❤️ it was really getting to me so I had to say something 🤣

May 06Reply

jill7326 @poshielisa I’m always complaining about that to my husband. I totally get it:)

May 06Reply

poshielisa @jill7326 Yeah I’m pretty easygoing about most things, but when this first happened to me, I fell for it, not even realizing...and then afterwards I felt duped! 😣 That was one time last year. Then all of a sudden I’m encountering it again in recent months! Strange how that happens. Because for the most part, I get reasonable offers. And those who buy outright at asking price are amazing. Those things restore my faith in Poshmark and keep me going 🙂 as well as meeting new PFFs like you! 🥰

atticchic @poshielisa I love this!!💕 Your whole closet is amazing and so awesome!!😍 But I really like this one because how true!! 🤗

poshielisa @atticchic Awww ❤️ thank you for your kind words 🥰 I’m glad this resonated with you 🙌

May 30Reply

atticchic @poshielisa It really did!! I also checked out your blog and learned a few things that I didn't know so thank you for that! I just started selling a few months ago and am learning and hopefully evolving into a better seller/reseller. So I always like to read a seasoned sellers advice! 😊

May 30Reply

poshielisa @atticchic oh wow thank you! I LOVE hearing that! It seems like I wrote that so long ago, I’ve been meaning to do more with that but with everything going on these days 🤷‍♀️ I’ll add more when the time is right. I recently took my own advice and on a Love It or List It Day last week I relisted 25 listings (which I hadn’t done in forever, out of laziness) and got a SALE same day 😯 ...

May 30Reply

poshielisa @atticchic ...I had a white Express miniskirt down to like $6 for the longest time (a year!) just sitting there not getting any love...relisted it for $15 and instantly got a few likes...made an offer and SOLD! Made a little more than I would IF someone ever bought it for $6 🤣 And that’s the thing, it showed up as a Just Listed/New Listing in someone’s feed and they saw it and wanted it. It’s all about TIMING 🧐

May 30Reply

poshielisa @atticchic BTW Your closet already looks like a seasoned pro, I thought you’ve been doing this since 2013! I think that was the start of Poshmark 🤓🤣👍 Your closet is stunning and your hard work and dedication shows ✨👍👌🥂👏👏👏

May 30Reply

atticchic @poshielisa Nice!! Yeah I've learned now to not go down so low on price but delete and relist. I try to list a minimum of 3-5 each day even if they're listings I already have but would be better off to redo. However lately I've gone a bit crazy buying inventory so that's been keeping me busy enough! lol. It sure is hard to stick to a budget so many beautiful temptations!!

May 30Reply

atticchic @poshielisa So true so true!! Timing really is everything!! I'm learning now not to jump on every offer and accept (especially when low) but know the worth of that article of clothing and that the right buyer is out there 👀 and eventually the stars will align..

May 30Reply

poshielisa @atticchic Great job you’re doing better than me! Oh my gosh I’ve been buying so much inventory I am so backed up! And I’m STILL buying more. Tiff’s closet!!! I can’t get enough...I have a feeling a huge shipment of new FP styles are coming soon...get ready 🛒🛍🛍🛍💸💸💵

May 30Reply

atticchic @poshielisa I hope that you do add more as the tips were well written and helpful!! I never knew it was after every 5 likes that the computer does the offer to likers prompt but makes sense now! 😆. Thank you so much for the compliment🥰 as I've been working at it every day now for about 2 months so it's nice to hear that I'm on the right track!!

May 30Reply

poshielisa @atticchic Yes it took me a long time to realize that. And sometimes even now I slip up and accept too soon 😐 but each day is a learning process, we’ll get better 🙂 Yes, know your worth! Lately I’ve been ignoring some lowball offers. Save myself the headache. For real! If they’re really serious, they’ll come back. That’s what I have learned. Took me a while!!!

May 30Reply

atticchic @poshielisa I know it's so so hard to stay on budget with her closet that's for sure!! lol. Sometimes it's so hard buying a listing though which is a blessing and a curse!! 🤪

May 30Reply

atticchic @poshielisa That would be awesome about the new styles but then again if I'm able to get a listing!! lol And yes if someone is truly interested in purchasing they will come back!! I really do love Poshmark as it's a wonderful community of very positive and uplifting women for the most part! Y'all are really sweet!!💕

May 30Reply

poshielisa @atticchic I most definitely will 📝 You definitely are on the right track, I think we’re a lot alike—once I decided to start selling, I tried to learn everything I could, I read blogs, articles, watched a few YouTube videos. If we’re gonna do it, might as well do it the best we can!

May 30Reply

poshielisa @atticchic yes for the most part. Occasionally you’ll meet someone negative but you just have to brush it off. It’s not the norm. Aww you ain’t too bad yourself 💞💝💕💖💓💗 and yeah everyone has been so nice it’s refreshing to see us build each other up...there’s enough money to be made, we don’t have to be competitive or catty!

May 30Reply

atticchic @poshielisa Thank you so much as I do appreciate your feedback!! And you said it exactly right that if I'm going to do something that it makes sense to do it right!! So I do think we're definitely similar there! 🤗

May 30Reply

atticchic @poshielisa You said it perfectly! There will always be negative people everywhere and absolutely right about brushing them off. Then there are the people that are never pleased no matter what!! And absolutely that there's enough to go around and it's better to build each other up then to be nasty and catty!

May 30Reply

atticchic @poshielisa By the way love your name as well! Fun poshie finds so great!! I'm still working on a name as I have a good one I like for earrings (my other Posh closet earrings only..lol. @funkylobe which I've been neglecting) but haven't found a name I like yet for this closet. Eventually I'll figure it out! Well I've really enjoyed chatting tonight!! It's always nice to make a new Posh friend!! 🤗

May 30Reply

poshielisa @atticchic Well said 🙌🙌🙌 Yes I’m sure you you’ll find a creative name that fits you. Let me know what you come up with! Love your earring closet name! And do keep in touch, my new PFF ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

May 30Reply

atticchic @poshielisa 🥰🥰 Aww thank you and will do!!🤗❤

dgargiulo2 Beautiful closet. 🥰 And love this post. I’m new to poshing and have experienced the low ball offers, then $1, $2 increments. Yes, it’s so disappointing and a waste of time. We are all trying to earn a little $, so sad people have to be like that. Keep up the fantastic job!

Jul 23Reply

poshielisa @dgargiulo2 Aww thank you for the kind words and for stopping by to comment! 🥰 Yeah, luckily I haven’t gotten many of those $1 increment types LATELY, I know it could happen again at any time, so I’m prepared 🤣

Jul 23Reply

poshielisa @dgargiulo2 Wow! Great closet, nice photos, I can’t even tell you recently started! Probably because you were a buyer/shopper for awhile first? I was a buyer for 6 months before I started selling, so I did get a lot of experience as far as seeing nice packaging vs no packaging, sellers who add a little free gift, those who don’t, good communication, how easy or hard is it to navigate closets, etc. So yeah, being a buyer definitely helps.

Jul 23Reply

dgargiulo2 @poshielisa thank you! That means a lot. Yes I was a random buyer before. I started selling end of May so 🤞🤞 I really ❤️ the posh community.

Jul 23Reply

poshielisa @dgargiulo2 I wish you the best of luck and many many great sales! From your variety, quantity, pics and brand names, I KNOW you’ll do well!
