So I am new to Poshmark and also new to cross posting items. If I have items posted to both venues and it sells on ebay should I delete the Poshmark listing or have it listed as not for sale? I have done both ways but have started just doing Not For Sale. I hate the way they look though because they show up on top of my feed and it could get confusing. I was thinking that as soon as the ebay customer says they are good with the item or after a few days I would then delete. I have had some sell on Posh and then I just delete the ebay listing. What do the rest of you do?

I delete mine. When I share my closet, I do it in random order so the same things are not always on top (so if someone clicks into my closet to share or shop, the first things they see aren't always the same). But by sharing in random order, I managed to share listings that are no longer for sale a couple of times. That's when I decided it was better to delete them.
Also I think your number of items available includes the ones that say not for sale, which I don't want to inflate that number for my own reference purposes.
If you decide to leave them, as you share all your other listings, the not for sale ones will settle to the bottom of your listings so the look would probably not be as bothersome to you.

I make them 'not for sale' and then either after my ebay buyer leaves FB or 30 days they get removed. Some of the more interesting pieces I just leave as NFS for a little while then remove (advertising).

This is pretty much what I do too, but I most always forget about the "Not For Sale" ones and go back and delete them in batches. |

My closet shows 580 listings but of that 327 have sold (summer really slowed down because I just don't have a lot of "poshable" summer stuff and then the tax issue), and only about 100 are in-season and not NFS. The rest are out of season and not being shared, and I'm ready to pull them down and relist in a month (I'm basically storing them at the bottom of my closet) - I do have people just search in my closet and I figure they might stumble on something off-season that they want.
But at any rate, at only about 100 sharable listings I'm only selling about 4-5 items a week. I kind of want to keep the NFS stuff down, and really wonder if all of that off-season stuff I'm not bothering with affects my closet standing in search, or if it's as simple as it purports to be (which would be nice). I also keep falling off the sharing business, which is stupid because it takes me like 5 minutes to share what I have to share if I'm on the PC, longer on my phone.

I also mark the Posh, Mercari, Etsy and now Kidizen as Not for Sale, until I get a feedback on eBay or it is past 30 days. When something sells on my other sites, I raise the price on eBay to $999 to hold the place until it is accepted.
So I get a lot of people writing to me asking if I am crazy...LOL. Yeah, well, maybe I am.
And I am also guilty of forgetting to delete the items after the eBay 30 days.
I share my closet as often as I can, so the sold items do drop down.
My problem is that I always check my cell at my 3am pee time. If I made a sale, I have to go to the other sites to delete it. That isn't fun at 3am.

chapeaunoir In the last few weeks, I've had people "Like" or "Favorite" or "Love" (or whatever the current term is) several winter things that I let drop to the bottom without sharing. I'm getting people liking flannel lined jeans and coats! It's 95° here and people are looking at flannel lined jeans! Forward thinkers? Getting the jump on winter?

I am getting likes on Christmas sweaters and Halloween costumes. I sold a nativity set a month ago.

Holiday stuff so soon? I thought nobody thought ahead with seasonal purchases anymore and instead bought it when they need it. Guess I'd better decide if I'm keeping or selling the nifty Hot Topic Nightmare Before Halloween dress I got the other day!

I think that most ebayers and poshers follow the retail store seasons not the actual seasons. The stores all have started marking summer down and fall/winter is in the front of the departments. Just my observation after being in this business over 20 years. Yikes.

And then there is the "Christmas in July" thing.

It's tough to track that here where summer often starts in July, lasts 6 weeks and the rest of the year is kind of all the same weather and we wear mostly the same stuff all year. I'm hurrying to finish up my last summer bins and have been mixing some transitional in there.

The only store that I go in that sells clothing is Walmart and they have had their fall stuff as the main attraction for several weeks now.
Most of the summer attire is already on markdown and we still have lots of summer left, thank goodness.

I thought your weather was like ours, only at the other end of the spectrum - a cool rainy spell and the rest of the time hot and sunny? Our temp most of the year bounces between 40 and 60.

It pretty much is. This year was a little off with a wet spring. We won't have cold weather until late November to early December with January usually the coldest month. Not that much rain though. We are usually in water rationing by April but this year we skated right on thru after the rainy spring.
Then starting around March the heat starts coming back. One year we did hit 100 in February but that was really out of the ordinary. We have been mostly in the high 90s this year with a 100 degree day every once in awhile. The humidity does bump the heat index into the low 100s.

I just delete if it is paid for (unavailable on auctions/ BOs until paid). If it is returned or canceled, it is not a big deal to copy/paste from Ebay back to a new Posh listing. You would lose the likers on the item though.

You would lose the likers on the item though. That's really no bad thing, though - likers usually are just that. I've had stuff with 40 likers that just doesn't sell, and I've had stuff with no likers sell quickly. |

Yeah, likers/watchers don't mean much, do they? I was up to 50 on a HTF raincoat when I got sick of the lowball offers and deleted the thing. I'll relist it this fall when I'm not cranky because of the heat.
