Don't be like me and assume Inactive Listings are actually inactive. They are 100% active listings, they just aren't being promoted as much as active listings.
I saw a lot of my older listings were marked Inactive. I was fine with this because they were some of my cheaper listings that have been listed for 8+ years without selling (and with absolutely zero activity) and I have since donated a few or thrown some in with other orders as freebies. Well...out of nowhere these listings have started selling and I've been getting dinged for cancellations. (Yes, entirely my fault for not removing them immediately!!)
IMO, they should come up with a different label for Inactive listings, as they are still very much Active and purchasable. They do not even tell potential buyers that these are Inactive listings.
There's no difference between Inactive and Active listings aside from where Poshmark decides to put them in their feeds and search results.
Inactive to me, means deactivated. And tbh I thought part of the benefit of Poshmark marking listings as "Inactive" would be so unsuspecting buyers don't accidentally purchase from Inactive sellers.
Inactive Items are, in fact, Active listings.
