I Tried Poshmark’s New “Smart Sell” Feature — Here’s Why You Should Too

It’s AI-powered, but don’t let that scare you.

When Poshmark rolled out its Smart Sell feature, I was intrigued. I’m no stranger to sending offers to likers, but let’s be honest, sometimes I forget. Or I get so busy that I don’t get around to it until days later. I know that I was missing sales opportunities, because the shopper might have moved on by the time I send an offer the next day.

So when I saw that Smart Sell could automate offers and counteroffers, I thought, Finally. I gave it a try, and I’m here to tell you: it works.

What Is Smart Sell, Anyway?

Smart Sell is Poshmark’s new AI-powered tool that helps sellers automate the negotiation process. You set a minimum price — the lowest amount you’re willing to accept for an item — and Poshmark handles the rest. This minimum is not visible to the buyer (obviously).

Example of Smart Sell turned on for a listing

Here’s what it does:

• Sends offers to likers automatically (but not always at your minimum).
• Accepts offers that meet or exceed your minimum.
• Counters offers that fall below your minimum — but always stays above it.
• Keeps you in control while saving you time.

It’s like having a virtual assistant who knows your bottom line and doesn’t get emotionally attached to your inventory.

My Experience Using Smart Sell

I’ve been using Smart Sell for about a month now, and honestly? I love it.

Before, I’d check my news feed for Likes maybe once a day. Then I’d send offers to Likers. But sometimes those likes were already a day old. I was waiting too long and probably losing the sale. Now, Smart Sell does it for me — instantly.

I set my minimum price based on what I need to make a profit. That way, I know I’ll never accept an offer that puts me in the red. It’s a no-brainer. I have already seen an uptick in the number of sales per week, since I’m no longer letting those Likers wait for a offer.

And the best part? I don’t have to babysit my closet. I can focus on sourcing, listing, or literally anything else while Poshmark handles the back-and-forth.

But Wait — It’s AI (oh no!)

Yes, it’s AI-powered. And I get it, AI can sound intimidating, or like you’re not in control of your business. It feels impersonal, maybe even risky. But in this case, it’s not replacing you. It’s supporting you. You still set the rules. You still control your pricing. Smart Sell just helps you respond faster and more consistently.

If you’re trying to grow your reselling business, automation is your secret weapon. It frees up your time, keeps your closet active, and helps you stay competitive in a fast-moving marketplace.

Don’t let the fancy-sounding AI marketing stop you from at least trying the new feature. I, for one, was excited to hear that Poshmark was building in a feature that Virtual Assistant apps have been doing for years.

Think of it like Mercari’s auto-offer tool or eBay’s minimum offer settings. It’s automation, not a takeover.

Tips for Using Smart Sell Wisely

• Set your minimum price carefully: Factor in fees, shipping, and your cost of goods.
• Don’t set it too low: You want to make a profit, not just move inventory.
• Experiment with it: You don’t have to use it on every listing. If you’re worried your business will suffer, maybe try it out on a few listings at first (maybe ones with low COGS).
• Pair it with strong listings: Good photos, clear descriptions, and SEO-rich titles still matter. Smart Sell can’t fix a bad listing.
