I have over 200 pieces of NWT clothing coming, most of which I can sell on Amazon. I'm also thinking of plunging into Poshmark.
I haven't really ever cross-listed stuff, so am curious if anyone suggests cross listing on these three or if I should just stick to eBay.
Is Poshmark worth it? The FVF isn't much higher than Amazon and I have plenty of wiggle room in my prices.

Are you gated to sell clothing on Amazon? Last I heard, that was one of the hardest categories to get approval for on AMZ.

Poshmark is a bit of work. I sell quite a bit on there, but it's hard digging because of all the sharing. OTOH, it's a friendly place to sell and I like it. I do all the sharing when I'm listing to audiobooks, sitting on the pot (TMI), waiting for a bus, in line, going somewhere where someone else is driving - all the little bits of slack time. Because the shipping is flat rate $7.11 up to 5 lb, summer stuff is harder to sell because it's so light and generally stuff goes cheap, but winter is better. Lots of offers, bundling, etc.
I cross list a lot - eBay, Poshmark and Mercari - one just has to stay on top of it.

I can't stand the ones where you have to share and like and tell everyone how wonderful their stuff is.

Likes and chat aren't necessary IMHO, I just share, but the sharing is about as much as I can do.

I am going to start selling there and I am having the hardest time finding out info about how their shipping works.

Jeremy-Did you try Grailed? It is for men only. I have made several sales on there, and don't really have a lot listed.
And how about Mercari?
I have had a hard time lately selling on Poshmark, and I think it is because of the high shipping cost. But your man stuff would weigh more.
I cross-post everything and everywhere.
If you are getting women's stuff, think about Tradesy, too.

Yes, and it's a great deal for heavy items - I just shipped a 4 lb plus book priority for the $7.11. Home goods do pretty well there - I have hardly any listed, it's just stuff from the house and I've sold most of it.

Got my first batch of items yesterday and they are awesome. Posted about 25 items on Amazon. Going to do some research on Poshmark and maybe list some stuff there.
How do you all handle NWT items with markdown stickers? I expected the to be there, just don't know if I should try to scrape them off, black them out or cut off part of the tag?

I cut off that part of the tag if I can. Or scribble over it. When I used to leave my house to get to St. Vins, they would have NWT stuff with "thrift store" written on the tags. I scribbled over that. LOL

I cut off that portion.
It's great that you got good stuff! I'll look into the firm you used.

Cut it off or scrape 'em off Jim (I have a hunch you'll get that joke), but that's how I deal with them.

It's too expensive for me $29 per month for the cheapest level that only copies the image, title and description, $49 and $69 per month for the higher levels.

I read about that a lot, and can't afford it. Apparently, on Marketplace, the people who use it can get kicked off....lots of complaints about that.
I can't see how it would work to list on the different platforms since they are all a bit different. And my descriptions on eBay have more detail than I put on the other ones. Also, Posh doesn't have enough space for a detailed description.
And then there is the shipping....
I will just continue to plod along listing maybe 5-8 a day on 7 places.

I investigated it but I think it's geared more towards people who list large amounts on many different sites and want attendant analytics, etc. Upper levels also include Shopify, which is a very smart move.
