What's a Poshmark?

Poshmark is the newest online shopping community, where you can trade and barter for the things you need! I joined it as an alternative to sell my very gently used and new designer items. I love it. Its not so different from eBay but at the same time it is.... Here is how each matches up!
 
 
 
 
eBay
Poshmark
Fees/Charges
Charges 9% commission on every item sold, free listing fee and insertion fee up to the first 50 items per month
Charges 20% on every item, no restriction on listing or insertion
Community
Vast, been around for over 10 years
Growing, been around less than 5 years online
Styles
Any style, and almost any item sold
Mostly designer clothing and accessories for women
Shipping & Handling
USPS shipping labels and box invoice provided by eBay with payment of postage (printed)
USPS shipping labels and box invoice provided by Poshmark with payment of postage
Payment Options
PayPal ONLY
Your Bank, no PayPal
 
 
 
Overall I think both have their perks! I like that there is no restrictions on listing for Poshmark, but the steep commission kinda turns me off. To me that means you have to drive up the price a bit :(  Its a great alternative to eBay but I prefer eBay. That's just my opinion... Let me know what you think below.
Poshmark or eBay???
