PrimeLister Helped Me Increase My Poshmark Sales in a Week While Doing Nothing

How PrimeLister works

PrimeLister is billed as a cross-listing app, enabling you to post listings for the same product across multiple resale platforms. You can use it to post across Poshmark, Depop, Mercari, Facebook Marketplace, eBay, and Etsy. It doesn't have as many marketplaces to choose from as Vendoo, which is my own preferred cross-listing app, but it functions similarly, in that you can create a single listing in your PrimeLister inventory, then blast it out across all those various accounts.

I found PrimeLister especially helpful for managing my Poshmark account. Beyond cross-listing, it performs a valuable function for sellers on the platform: It automates all the tedious tasks you have to handle to keep your wares visible and ensure they are sold.

The interface is simple: You log into Poshmark through the PrimeLister app and, once your Posh closet is linked, you can view all of your listings. From there, you can complete bulk actions or automate tasks.

For instance, you can navigate to your Listings tab, select all your listings by hitting Select All on the top right, hit Create New Task on the bottom right, and raise or lower all your prices, send discount offers to anyone who has liked those items, or re-list them entirely, all at once.

How PrimeLister helped me sell more

Completing bulk actions is PrimeLister's biggest selling point for me. I like to fiddle with my prices, raising and lowering them a few times per week, as you can get extra money both if something sells at a higher price or if you send out a discount offer on something you have priced higher than it really should be. I raised my prices by 10% a few times using the bulk action tool and made some easy extra bucks on a few sales

But for me, the best feature by far is its automation capabilities, as PrimeLister is able to manage all of the tedious things you have to do on Poshmark to advance on the app. If you're already a Poshmark user, you know that you are incentivized to "share" your items with your followers, making them pop up in their homepage newsfeeds. You are also encouraged to share other people's listings to your followers, and share your listings to what are known as "Posh parties"—hour-long events that create a landing page for items matching the event's given description. All of this can help boost your sales, but it takes forever when you're doing it manually.

Prior to downloading PrimeLister, that's exactly what I was doing: Three or so times per day, I would manually share all of my listings to my followers, to relevant Posh parties, and to live show hosts, which host streamed auctions within the app. Right now, I have about 75 active listings, and for every one of them, I had to hit the "share" button once for my followers, once for each party, and a third time to share to a live auction host (which pulled me into that auction stream, forcing me to exit the auction and return to my closet to continue sharing). On average, sharing each item to all the different locations took me 20 seconds or so, which meant I was spending as long as 45 minutes per day handling it. Now PrimeLister does it for me.

PrimeLister also helped me on my journey to becoming a Posh Ambassador. (There are a few perks of being an Ambassador, but the most important is that your closet is recommended to new users, increasing your visibility.) To earn that status, you have to share at least 5,000 items from other users' inventories, share your own items at least 5,000 times, share items from at least 50 new closets, have at least 50 available listings on your page, among other imposing requirements.

Last week, before downloading PrimeLister, I had done all of that except the shares, but I was exhausted by the idea of hitting the "share" button on 4,700 listings from strangers, even while continuing my Sisyphean effort to manually share my own listings three times per day.

When I got PrimeLister, I was instantly able to automate those tasks. From the Automations tab, I toggled on a slider and enabled the app to share my listings to my followers, share other people's listings, share my listings to Posh parties, and more. I wound up earning my Posh Ambassador status in 24 hours.

I also use the automation functionality to send out offers. When someone likes a listing, PrimeLister immediately sends them an offer for 10% off on my behalf. I can even set a delay, so they're not blasted with a notification the second they like the listing.

Boost your sales

Previously, I was lucky to get one sale every two or three days, even as I worked hard to keep my stuff visible by raising and lowering prices, sharing my listings, and sending out offers by hand. With PrimeLister, I have been getting at least one per day—and I'm not doing anything. All the tedium has been automated. Since I don't have to worry about devoting my time to manually sharing things and reducing their prices, I have time to respond to even the most nitpicky comments from potential customers, which has turned into actual sales.

The one mistake I did make was toggling on the automatic re-list feature, which makes new listings for your stuff if it doesn't sell, wiping out existing likes and comment conversations. I had some interested potential buyers with whom I was chatting with in the comments sections on multiple listings, but with automatic re-listing, those convos got nuked and I lost the chat threads. I have no way to reach those people and just have to hope they come across the new listing. I recommend turning on all the automations except that one.

You're going to need to pay

How much you'll pay for PrimeLister depends on what you want to use it for. If you don't want to use it for cross-listing but do want to use it for multiple marketplaces, $29.99 per month or $249.99 per year gets you automatic re-listing, scheduled tasks, importing, delisting, and bulk tasks. For $49.99 per month or $399.99 per year, you get all that and the cross-listing functionality, plus detailed inventory management and internal tags to keep tabs and notes on your products.

If you're only using it for Poshmark (like me), you can access the Poshmark Bot and its automations and bulk-action features for $25 per Poshmark account, per month. I was able to accomplish a lot during the one-week free trial, but upgrading to the paid tier allows you to schedule future actions, automatically like an item in someone's closet if they like one in yours, and determine the order in which your items are shared, which determines the order in which they appear on your closet page.

If you pay, you also get to customize more of your automations, like the speed at which your account shares your and other users' items. (You can also pay $240 per Poshmark closet to unlock all of that on an annual basis.)

A great choice for Poshmark sellers
