Poshmark vs eBay online shopping & selling
eBay is the better choice for a wider variety of items and a more established marketplace, despite its recent app issues and seller frustrations, while Poshmark is better suited for fashion-focused selling and buying, but struggles with user experience and high fees.
eBay offers a vast marketplace for diverse items and generally intuitive navigation, though recent updates have caused app instability and seller dissatisfaction with fees and support. Poshmark excels in fashion reselling with an easy listing process, but users report aggressive upselling, high fees, and frustrating app updates.

- [R2] Poshmark AMAZING: This is such a good app idea! I have been wanting to save money but also make money from home. Now I can do both in one single app! I definitely recommend this app so everyone and it’s super simple to use!
- [R3] Poshmark Poshmark: It’s not like EBay or marketplace at all. You pay a lot in my opinion to post something most of the time not worth it.
- [R5] Poshmark Sales on Poshmark: Unexpected items sold on poshmark. Thank you
- [R20] Poshmark Shop and make money: I love this app I get to sell clothes I don't use and shop for preloved items at a reasonable price. Got my $10 credit w/code BRIZZLE02 . Check out my closet 💁
- [R4] Poshmark I hate every update: I hate every new update. I dislike that you can no longer see how many followers a person has. I dislike that you can no longer see how many likes you have at first glance. I dislike that you can't see how many a new alert you have. It used to show a number. No one seems to follow anyone anymore and no one seems to share anything anymore. The ease of use and the community fe
- [R9] Poshmark Love it but…: Love poshmark. Use it all the time. However many of the adjustments to the interface don’t make sense. That I can no longer see following/followers on my main page is annoying. It has become more difficult to find the things I like from the sellers i follow and sellers in my area. Overall the updates are not helpful to sourcing what I like quickly. However I do still love Poshmark.
- [R10] Poshmark Ads have ruined it: I used to adore Poshmark and shopped the app for great finds. I’ve also sold via the app and found their services simple and easy. However, recently they introduced ads and it ruined the experience - instead of relevant items that I want to see, I have to scroll through tons of ads for items that aren’t even my size.
- [R12] Poshmark Updated app: The second you get used to an update on this app, they update it again. They don’t consider user feedback, especially from people who spend frequently. This app is constantly updating and not for the better. Leave it alone for awhile. Let people get used to it before you overhaul it yet again
- [R13] Poshmark Gone from best UX to worst: They keep making the actual app worse and worse. Everything is geared towards live shows and nearly all recommendations are sizes out of my saved sizes. Keep ruining a good thing
- [R27] Poshmark New Update Makes It Easy to Quit: Unfortunately (but fortunately for my wallet!) the new update has taken away a lot of the features that made Posh so addictive and scrollable including: the ability to easily find saved searches, the ability to look for similar items when you scrolled to the bottom and click “find more” (always a good way to waste an hour!), and easily keeping saved searches with
- [R6] Poshmark Used to be great: 5 years ago, had no problem selling things and overall a good platform. Now you have to pay to promote your listings or they will not be seen. I just downloaded Vinted and have sold clothes in 1 day that have been sitting on Poshmark for > 1 year. Plus vinted does not take $3 from all sales. So, I will be switching apps.
- [R7] Poshmark Used to be a good app: I’ve been a user for close to 10 years - this app used to be so fun to sell but now they took away the 2 day shipping (same price for shipping as before, just snail mail now rather than priority mail) so when you sell something you have to wait 10 days for it to get to its destination and 3 days after delivery for your earnings. And you used to collect more earnings per sale
- [R16] Poshmark Just Awful Lately: Been on Poshmark for 10 years as a basic closet seller, happy with my sales and the few purchases I would make. But these last few months have been the absolute worst. No sales. No sharing. No likes. No offers. No incentives to list new things or put items on sale. An absolute dead zone. As a seller, you’re punished if you cross-list to other sites. As a buyer, you’re stuck with
- [R15] Poshmark Every time you list something, you can a phishing email: Every time I list an item for sale, I receive at least scam emails trying to act like a customer or act like they work for Poshmark.
- [R19] Poshmark Did me dirty: I made an account that my friend recommended to do and when I got my first sale I was happy and did all the steps it wanted me to do but then I got scammed OFF THE REAL APP AND EVERYTHING and lost over 450 bucks
- [R22] Poshmark Worst App Ever. You Will Get Scammed: I would NOT recommend this app. I put up two posts for item and was immediately bombarded with emails. And I was thinking “Oh they really like my stuff”. WRONG. It said it was sold and gave me the print order. I go to print the receipt and it continues to ask very personal questions about my debit card, and social security numbers. I got scammed. $412 out of m
- [R34] Poshmark Use another app: Go to their socials and see all the users complaining about their horrible customer service. No accountability, including my case.
- [R14] Poshmark My love for Poshmark: I love Posh selling on Poshmark because it’s easy. I don’t love all the changes that happen but I do love innovation, creativity, and the opportunity to sell my items with no hassle so for that thank you so much Poshmark! I love selling my items on your platform.
- [R17] Poshmark Love to list on Poshmark: Poshmark is the most user friendly platform for reselling! I love it and I love that my merch gets lots of views!! I sell everything! Thank you Poshmark
- [R25] Poshmark Not sure if my brands are fancy enough: Not really sure what i originally paid for each item. Hate that you take so much money out with today’s economy. I’m just a teacher trying to survive bills.
- [R88] eBay online shopping & selling They take WAY too much money from what you earn: eBay please read this! eBay you take WAY too much money from what the seller sells😔☹️! Stop taking all of my money, I’ve lost more money selling than I’ve made. I understand that you guys have lives too and have to make money but this is unreasonable! And stop letting the buyers say that their items haven’t arrived when the tracking says it has! eB
- [R45] Poshmark Fraudulent charges: Keeps fraudulently charging my debit card for a promoted closet subscription that I never purchased and even after my bank determined that the charge was fraudulent and I was issued a credit with the case closed, Poshmark continued to charge my debit card. I asked for this last card on my profile to be removed since the application won’t allow me to remove it myself, but Poshma
- [R44] Poshmark Best editing tools: Poshmark may not be the cheapest place to buy things, but you get what you pay for. Buyers and sellers have higher expectations. As a seller in different platforms, hands down, Poshmark has the best brand recognition and easiest composition tools. I love Poshmark and being a seller. They make it easy for their sellers and customers. Support is great as well. Very responsive.
- [R56] Poshmark Thank you Poshmark: I enjoy every thing about this platform. Long time seller. Customer and seller is support is 10/10. Always responsive, friendly, fair, professional and providing results. Platform is very user friendly. I appreciate this opportunity to generate additional revenue when I need it. Thank you!!
- [R70] eBay online shopping & selling This app sucks: Hard to communicate, not intuitive. Website forces you to use app
- [R104] eBay online shopping & selling Customer service sucks: They make up their own rules. They won’t help you out please use craigslist or anything else besides eBay absolute worst customer service I’ve ever dealt with.
