College students out there who have old clothes, toys or just random junk can go to an online website to sell them. There is an app called Poshmark where you can buy, sell and even trade items. This allows you to revamp your style for the next semester while adding a couple extra dollars to your bank account!

This online store is easily downloadable onto your smartphone. It’s completely free to sign up; you can make an account with your Facebook or even just make a quick account with your email.

You just need to upload pictures from your camera roll or even take them from the app itself. You can do this on the toolbar at the bottom of your screen where it says “sell”. You can take and add as many pictures you would like! Poshmark is a better place where you can do your own thing. Compared to eBay where it is harder to sell your items, “Posh” is way more laid back and is easier to use.

After you have finished the pictures it takes you the “Listing Details section” where you finish adding your information of the product you want to sell.

Once you have posted your listing, people will automatically see it. This is where they can like, comment, and purchase your item. The best part is that users of the app can follow you so they can see all of your recent listings. 

Finally, once someone purchases your item, you print out the shipping label and attach it to your item in packaging and send it out in the mail!

On Poshmark you can list as much as you want, make your own prices, give your own description, follow people, like and even comment on their items. This online store and app is an easy way to make some quick cash on the go and especially before school star

From my experiences with Poshmark, I highly recommend using it. In my opinion, it’s better than eBay, because eBay takes longer to use and has stricter rules on what you’re listing. Poshmark gives users the freedom to take your time on your listings.
