Poshmark AU closure: Advice for moving listings to eBay

[au_news_team]

Poshmark has announced that it will close its marketplaces in Australia, the UK, and India on Thursday 26 October 2023 and has published FAQs for impacted sellers.

We appreciate it’s a difficult time for anyone that has been affected by this news. If you’re an AU Poshmark seller thinking about moving your listings to eBay here are some points to bear in mind. 

1. Selling offers to get you started

• New Sellers can enjoy $0 variable fees on your first five pre-loved fashion sales. Offer ends 31 Dec 2023. Other fees, exclusions and T&Cs apply. Accept this offer here before listing. 
• Existing sellers can enjoy $0 variable fees on your next three pre-loved fashion sales. Offer ends 31 Oct 2023. Other fees, exclusions and T&Cs apply. Accept this offer here before listing.
• Get 3 free postage labels when you send your order with eBay Postage labels before 31 Dec 2023.  Exclusions and T&Cs apply.
  
  

2. Exporting listing data from Poshmark

If you’ve got a large number of listings on Poshmark, you could save time by exporting the listing data and uploading it to eBay using our Bulk Listing tool. 

Please do your best to make sure you don’t inadvertently create new listings for items that are already live on your eBay account. This could lead to a breach of our duplicate listings policy. 

3. Account security

If you haven’t listed or sold many items on eBay recently, or you’ve just opened an account, you might be asked to verify some information. This won't take long if you provide the information requested quickly. 

While we're waiting for you to verify details, we might put a temporary hold on payouts or limit the number of items you can list (you’ll still be able to create draft listings). 

If you’re planning to move multiple listings from Poshmark to eBay, please contact us on signmeup@ebay.com so we can help to support the transition. New sellers will receive a free 6-month Store subscription (T&Cs Apply)

eBay has been operating in Australia for over 20 years. Over this time, we’ve evolved and adapted our selling features based on seller feedback. If you’re new or returning to eBay here are some changes you might find interesting:
