If you like certain clothes, or want another sweater exactly like the one you own, but know you can't find in a store, check
Poshmark or
Mercari.
I have only shopped and sold on
Poshmark, so I will talk about that platform.
Both are sites for reselling clothing. You can either shop, or, photograph and list your entire closet, a few items, or source from other shops and friends and create a shop. Most
Poshmark sellers are all about creating a digital store, so following them on their social channels is a great way to check out their new listings.
@TheDealQueen is a great resource to check out to understand
Poshmark and selling. She has
youtube videos and is the only person I look forward to watching their stories on Instagram because she will do haul videos of her finds from goodwill. LOVE HER!

How is it different than Ebay?
You can offer, instead of bid, on items and the seller can accept, decline, or counter. Shipping is about $6.50 and tax will be added to the sale.
I think it is great for buying replicas of the items you already own and want more of. Not so great to buy clothing or dresses just because the photos are amazing. I have purchased a jacket and a dress that fit me really weird. I could not return them. If the items do not fit, you cannot return them. You can only return items if they are not as described.
That's why
poshmark is great for replicas, but not for new items you are not familiar with. If you have a sweater, pants, or other clothing item you want to replace, it's a GREAT website and app to check out to find what you are looking for.
I got a lot of items as gifts. I see what my friends and family wear, and they get so excited when I find a replica for them. Check it out!!
Pro tip: The search on the website is a lot better than the app. The app doesn't search as well, I don't know why, but it is just that way. Check it out and let me know below what you got!!!
