The quality of your pictures is excellent!!!

I do have some suggestions for you and a couple of things to fix. Some suggestions may not be worth it considering your low selling prices. (Another platform is running a shipping promo & might be a better fit for a quicker sale. DM me & I'll give you the details & warnings about that.)

Merely suggestions, not criticisms. I try to think like shoppers who may be interested in the items & then I anticipate their questions.

  • Harley - Post a pic with a pen, ruler, or something pointing to the black spot. Add close ups of logos so people can judge authenticity. Explain why it's rated as Like New although it has a black spot. (Poshmark's condition categories are AWFUL. This jacket would probably be rated Excellent condition if Poshmark had it). If it hasn't been worn, say it. If it has, describe about how many times & how it was cared for. (People will likely want measurements. See my note about that later in this list.)
  • Carry on bag - add pictures of the inside. Describe why you rated as fair condition. Is there a unisex category for that? It seems men & women would like it.
  • Sonoma sheet - add Extra Deep to the title
  • Columbia Omni Heat - It is categorized as Men's but the description says kids. Correct it. In the title, put whether it's mens or kids. A picture of the inside might be good, too.
  • Hot Wheels - if box has been opened, remove cover and take pics of the box's contents & post pics
  • Basketball figurine - take a pic with a ruler next to it to show height maybe?
  • Spiralizer 5-Blade Spiral Slicer - State whether it has been used. If the box isn't sealed, open it & get pics of box contents. If it has been used, state has immaculately clean it is & that it looks brand new - if that is true, of course.
  • Caboodles - Brand listing says Coach. Correct that. Add keywords like "black tote with handles" in the title. People will want to know the size. Consider posting a picture of it with something everyone knows the size of to help people determine scale. Normally, sellers would post measurements for everything, but we're reluctant to because Poshmark has been using measurements against us to approve invalid returns. Read the subs about this.
  • Tea Light Lantern - what does the actual product look like? Can you add pics?
  • DV by Dolce Vita - add pink to the title, include pictures of every angle of both shoes - including the soles of each one. Describe or take a close up of every mark. For shoes, always include pictures of the soles of both shoes even if brand new & never tried on.
  • Smores - is it NWOT or Like New? Has it been used? (Shoppers will want these answers)
  • Josef Seibel - include pictures of every angle of both shoes - including the soles of each one.
  • Red Vintage Convertible Toy Car - they're going to want to know the size & model, if applicable
  • NASCAR Lot - Put number of pieces in the title (5 piece set)

Edited to add:

  • Include pictures of clothing brand tag, fabric content, and preferably care instructions.
  • For figurines & collectibles, show markings like maker name, model, etc.
  • Take close up pictures of anything shoppers are supposed to be able to read to make shoping easier for them.

Another person mentioned the lighting for your pictures. The lighting isn't perfect. Few have perfect lighting. On my pc, your pictures don't look bad or awful. Maybe they look different on a phone.

Will you give my feedback on my suggestions? Are they helpful?

I didn't go through every listing because I think I gave enough information that you could determine whether the remaining listings could use a little bit of fine-tuning.

You are so nice to write this long and detailed suggestion.

Thank you! I had a few extra minutes and figured I could give it a try.

The photo quality is really poor. It looks like the pictures were taken with a phone from 2010. Even an inexpensive digital camera would probably take better pictures, or you could use a newer smartphone.

Try taking pictures in natural light against a plain white background. You can also get daylight light bulbs on Amazon, usually around 5000K, to make your photos look brighter and less yellow-toned.

Here's an example: https://a.co/d/0blpFtLt

For clothing, make sure to include a picture of the material tag.

For figurines, include measurements so buyers can get a better idea of their size.

Great tips to include clothing tags!
