12 Years on Poshmark: My Secrets to a 4.9-Star Rating and 1-Day Shipping
When I joined Poshmark back in 2013, the reselling world looked a lot different. I was navigating life as a stay-at-home mom with young children, looking for a way to use my retail background (from my days at Community Market) to contribute to our family’s budget.
Fast forward to 2025, and I am proud to still be a Posh Ambassador II with a 4.9-star rating. After thousands of sales and years of evolving with the platform, I’ve learned that success isn’t just about what you sell—it’s about how you serve your customers.
If you are looking to grow your side hustle while managing a busy household, here are the three pillars that have kept my business thriving for over a decade.
1. The Power of the "1-Day Shipping" Average
In the world of online shopping, speed is everything. One of the metrics I am most proud of is my shipping speed. On average, my packages are out the door in less than 24 hours.
How do I do it with three kids (ages 14, 9, and 7) and a cat named Dusty running around? * The "Shipping Station" Trick: I keep a designated corner of my home stocked with pink poly-mailers, thank-you cards, and clear bags.
* The Morning Routine: I pull all my sold items first thing in the morning while the house is quiet.
* Consistency: Making the post office trip a non-negotiable part of my daily errands ensures that my "Average Shipping Time" stays low, which earns the trust of both Poshmark and my buyers.
2. Maintaining a 4.9-Star Rating
A high rating is your "social currency" on Poshmark. To maintain a near-perfect score for 12 years, I focus on radical honesty.
In your listings, "over-disclose" everything. If a sweater has a tiny pull or a pair of shoes has a scuff, I take a clear photo of it and mention it in the description. Buyers don't mind a flaw if they know about it beforehand, but they hate surprises. Combine that honesty with a neatly folded garment and a quick "Thank You" note, and you have a recipe for a 5-star review every time.
3. Adapting to Change (2013 vs. Today)
When I started in 2013, the app was much simpler. Today, we have Posh Shows, sophisticated search algorithms, and more competition than ever. My secret to longevity has been staying flexible.
While the tools change, the fundamentals of retail do not. I apply the same organization and customer service skills I learned years ago in retail to my digital closet today. Whether it’s responding to comments within the hour or offering fair discounts through the "Offers to Likers" tool, staying active is the only way to stay visible.
Final Thoughts for Fellow SAHMs
Starting a blog or a Poshmark closet can feel overwhelming when you have a family to care for. But if I’ve learned anything in my 14 years as a stay-at-home mom, it’s that small, consistent steps lead to big results.
Whether you are just starting your reselling journey or you've been around since the early days like me, remember that your "Expertise" is your greatest asset. Treat your customers like neighbors, ship with speed, and the success will follow.
Next Steps for you:
* Add Photos: Take a picture of a package you've wrapped (maybe with a floral sticker or pink tissue paper!) and a screenshot of your Poshmark stats showing your rating and shipping time.
* Add a Link: At the bottom, add a link to your About Me page so readers can learn more about your 14-year SAHM journey.
Would you like me to write a similar draft for a post about your daily routine as a mom of three, or would you rather do one about Dusty?
