โฆ.and I am sure I am missing a few!
As a company, we crosslist across 4 platforms: eBay, Etsy, Poshmark, & Chairish.
We recently added Chairish to our cross listing efforts, and while we have not cracked the code on Chairish, I do appreciate their audience reach. Last week they announced a change in their commissions for resellers.
They offer monthly/yearly memberships or just a professional account. Most companies are moving to a membership pricing structure, so for those that donโt want to pay monthly/yearly, then the commission just went up from 23% to 30%.
How does this effect you as a reseller?
I anticipate you will see prices increase as resellers are trying to cover the loss of margin.
As a reseller, it is important to know the commission of each platform so you can decide which ones work best for you and your needs. While I am not thrilled about the commission hike, I do understand they reach an audience that eBay and Etsy doesnโt attract.

Logistics of shipping can be the greatest hurdle that an online reseller has to overcome.
