Crosslist’s Free Poshmark Automation Tool 101

Poshmark may be an e-commerce marketplace and not a social media platform, but there’s no denying that it’s a lot like Instagram. You get to like, comment on, and share one another’s listings.

While getting to create your very own community is great, like Instagram, Poshmark also asks for much of your time. You need to be active every single day by sharing your closet, interacting with followers, and posting new listings to boost visibility and increase your sales.

Obviously, all of this is very time-consuming. Realistically, it’s simply not possible for you to spend all of your time on Poshmark. But if you don’t stay active, you lose out on visibility and won’t be able to make as many sales. So, what’s the alternative? Using a Poshmark automation bot that does all of this for you!

Here, we talk about how Crosslist’s free Poshmark bot can help you stay active on the platform while saving time. 

First things first.. Do you need a Poshmark bot?

Well.. yes, and no. Technically, you can sell on Poshmark without an automation tool and try to boost your sales by sharing your closet and networking with followers and likers manually. 

But, this will eat up a ton of your time as the platform’s algorithm gods bless active users more. Potential buyers also prioritize active accounts as they’ll want to buy from someone who answers their queries immediately, ships within a few days, and is available to fix any issues that may arise. 

Without a Poshmark bot, you’ll essentially be spending your entire day on Poshmark, hoping to get noticed and make some sales. So, while having a Poshmark bot is not a necessity, you pretty much need one if your goal is to actually create an active presence and grow as a seller. 

We’ll also let you in on a little secret. That Poshmark seller you admire who makes six figures every year? They’re probably using bots. That’s how they stay on top of it all!

How does Crosslist’s Poshmark bot work?

Crosslist’s Poshmark bot is a browser extension that lets you automate all the repetitive tasks that you need to perform to stay active on Poshmark. In other words, the bot will perform the actions by clicking the share and follow buttons while making it look like it was you all along.

This includes actions like:

• Sharing your listings to people who follow you or like your posts
• Following other users
• Sending offers to potential buyers who like your listings

The tool runs directly on the Poshmark website. There is a minimum time of 1-2 seconds applied automatically between shares and follows to make the actions human-like. You can also manually set a preferred wait time.

How much does it cost?

Not a thing. Crosslist’s Poshmark bot is absolutely free! You can use it even if you don’t have a Crosslist subscription. Just install the extension and you’re all ready to use the Poshmark bot.

Using our free Poshmark automation tool is pretty easy. First, you install the extension and then you run it.

5 Benefits of using Crosslist’s free Poshmark bot

Now that we’ve gone over the basics of installing and setting up the Poshmark bot, it’s time to look at how, exactly, it’s going to help your online selling business. 

Saves time

Our Poshmark bot essentially frees up a lot of your time by automatically performing all the repetitive actions you need to do to let the platform and potential buyers know that you’re active. 

For more context, here’s a list of all the things you have to do every single day (or at least very frequently) on Poshmark (and why):

1. Sharing your closet: Known as self-sharing, it shares your listings to your followers, essentially putting it at the top of their newsfeeds and higher-up under search engine results. Let’s say you sell handmade pottery and you just shared your closet. If someone searches for pottery, there’s a higher chance of them seeing your items among the top few results. To actually boost your listings, share your closet at least once a day. 
2. Sending bundle offers to followers and/ or likers: When a Poshmark user follows you or “likes” one of your listings, it’s safe to assume that they’re interested in what you’re selling. This is the best time for you to give them an offer they can’t refuse: bundling a few items related to the listing that caught their interest, and giving them a discount for it. Chances are that at least a couple of buyers will take the deal, which means you get to sell a few items all at once! To make the most out of potential buyers’ interest, it’s important that you send bundle offers to every single follower or liker. 
3. Engaging with the Poshmark community: Community is always a two-way street, which means you need to engage with your followers and build genuine connections with them. The simplest way to do this is by following those who follow you or like your listings, replying to comments, sharing other sellers’ listings, joining Posh Parties, and attending others’ live sales and so on. This is an everyday activity that you need to perform till you continue selling. 
4. Refresh your listings: Let’s say you list an item and it remains unsold for a few weeks. But the items you listed after that one are doing quite well. As time passes on, the unsold listing gets buried under all of your new listings, becoming stale and going unseen by potential buyers. But you still want to sell that product. What do you do now? Ramp up its discoverability by delisting the old listing and relisting it again (as a fresh listing this time). This bumps it to the top, giving it a better chance of getting sold this time. While you don’t have to do this every day, it’s good practice to take stock of stale listings and refresh them every once in a while. (Note that Poshmark has rules against excessive delisting, so you can only delist and relist the listings that have remained unsold for more than 60 days.)

Phew! That was a lot. But this is everything you would need to do to actually stay active on the platform. Doing the math, this alone will cost you half a day’s worth of work. And you can’t take weekends off, either. 

But with Crosslist’s free Poshmark bot? All of this will be taken care of by the bot (except for the last one which you can do with a Crosslist subscription). You free up at least a couple of hours to work on growing your business. It’s a no-brainer. 

Automates the repetitive tasks

Our free Poshmark bot is designed to carry out these repetitive tasks for you. And, unlike you, it won’t get tired or need days off. You also won’t need to spend your days clicking the same buttons over and over again, feeling bored out of your mind. 

In short, by using Crosslist’s Poshmark bot, you will be automating some of the most dull parts of selling on the platform, which, in turn, will increase your efficiency. 

Gives your listings a wider reach

Let’s say you don’t use a Poshmark bot, and opt to do everything manually, instead. And you spend a maximum of around 3-4 hours on Poshmark every day. How many likes, follows, shares, and bundles can you expect to realistically send during that time? A hundred? A hundred and fifty, if you really push it. 

But, when you use our Poshmark bot, you’ll essentially be increasing that number by.. A lot, which means you’ll be reaching more people in a single day than you could have ever dreamed of. 

Let’s say the bot shares your closet 24 times a day (one time per hour). Most of the time, potential buyers search for things by sorting by “recently shared.” Since your closet was recently shared by the bot, your listings will appear at the top.

How does this increased exposure benefit you, though? That’s the next benefit! 👇

Helps you make more sales

The more people you reach, the better your sales numbers become. Because, a wider audience means more potential buyers. Also, more exposure leads to an increased familiarity with your products. And familiarity soon turns into likeability, which translates into sales. Why? Because, as customers, we tend to buy from the brands and people that we like the most.

As your familiarity and sales numbers increase, so will the word-of-mouth recommendations about your brand. This chain reaction will lead to even higher sales, helping your brand grow. But, for this to happen, you need to put your products in front of potential buyers first — something you can do by frequently showing up on people’s news feeds by using Crosslist’s free Poshmark bot to share your closet. 

Sends instant offers to followers and/ or likers

The Poshmark bot is built to immediately send offers to anybody who likes or shares your listings. This saves you from the mental gymnastics of having to curate special bundles and offers for each person. The bot will automatically tailor the offers according to the predetermined rules you set. 

Another perk of using our bot is that it can send offers to thousands of people per day — something that’s impossible for us to do manually. So, with the bot, you won’t miss sending offers to even a single liker or sharer. You can be sure that you’re getting the most out of the interest people show on your listings.

The cherry on top of the cake is that you don’t need to be tech-savvy or know how to code to use Crosslist’s Poshmark bot. Just download it, connect it to your Poshmark account, and get started! 

While there currently aren’t any bots like this for other marketplaces, you can always contact a software product development company like Evne Developers to see if they can make one for you. Don’t forget to make sure that it stays compliant with the platforms’ terms of service, though. 

Bonus: Combine the bot with a Crosslist subscription for smoother selling

With a Crosslist subscription, you’ll be able to create new listings directly within our tool and cross post them to multiple platforms with a single click. Our tool also automatically resizes the images to fit Poshmark’s “square images only” policy. 

You can also use Crosslist to automatically apply a certain percentage of discount to all of your listings during closet clearance days!

The best part, though, is that Crosslist lets you delist and relist your items in bulk. So, whenever you find any stale listings, you can just use our tool to refresh it for you.

How does Crosslist’s Poshmark bot compare to manual actions?

Manual actions can never be as quick or as precise as an automation tool. When sharing your closet manually, you’ll have to log in to your Poshmark account periodically and click on the share button. The same goes when it comes to following people.

Sending offers, however, requires a little bit more effort than that. When someone likes your listing, you’ll first have to go through all the items in your closet to pick a few more things that you think they might like. For instance, if they liked a listing advertising a women’s shirt, you might bundle a pair of pants and a scarf that goes well with the outfit and send it to them. 

And this is just for one potential buyer. Imagine repeating this hundreds of times every day. We are exhausted just thinking about it. 

There’s also no way you’ll be able to handle sending offers to every single person who likes, shares, or follows you. This means you could be missing out on potential sales. 

But, by using Crosslist’s free Poshmark bot, you can put all of these worries aside. Not only will the bot target every single potential buyer engaging with you, it also helps you escape from doing the same mind-numbingly boring tasks every day!

Are Poshmark bots safe?

The answer to this is a little more complicated than yes or no. Technically, Poshmark automation bots go against the platform’s community guidelines — but this comes into play only if you use the bots to spam others, or if your usage raises suspicions.

What do we mean by this? Poshmark prohibits spamming other users, but it doesn’t explicitly prohibit using third-party apps. The platform’s goal is to create a positive experience for everyone involved. 

So, technically, using a Poshmark bot should be fine as long as it mimics human behavior. This means sharing your closet during random intervals and not 1,000 times per day. Following thousands of people at once is also a big no-no.

Crosslist’s Poshmark bot does exactly what you need — mimics human behavior. It waits for a few seconds between each activity to keep the Poshmark police from flagging your account. It’s also perfectly safe to use.

What happens if your account is found to be using bots, though? First, the platform will ask you to solve a CAPTCHA to prove that you’re a human. If you fail, Poshmark may suspend or even terminate it. 

But, as long as you use the bot wisely and don’t spam anybody with it, you won’t trigger the CAPTCHA and you should be fine. That’s why we designed our bot to have a waiting period between each activity. 

Also, let’s be realistic. A large majority of Poshmark sellers do use bots — something which likely doesn’t go unnoticed by the platform. So, as long as you’re being respectful and non-spammy, you probably don’t have anything to worry about.
