Over the last few years on my reselling journey, I’ve heard a plethora of reasons as to why people don’t want to crosspost. “I already do well on one platform and want to go all in,” “I am just starting, I want to master one platform.” “Those platforms don’t sell.” Those are all valuable insights and good reasons to stick to their game plan, but I have had a different experience entirely, and I would at least like to offer up insight from my own personal experience and give you 3 reasons why you should absolutely crosspost with List Perfectly.
Throw a wider net
Ok, I get it; perhaps there is no need when you are absolutely smashing sales on one marketplace. But when I was first trying it out, it took me weeks, if not a few months, to get a sale. To see what works, at some point, you will need to make at least one sale. There is only so much information, content, and research a person can take in, and we have to think about the possibility of a new seller not having every resource available to them when it comes to sourcing. If they are anything like me, they were trying to test the waters to get to the next level and make some extra side hustle income.
So, in the meantime, instead of trying to learn and master one platform and play this waiting game, why not learn and experience the different marketplaces? Mercari and Poshmark make creating an account quick and simple; not only that, but their listing process is quick and simple. With the power of List Perfectly, you can get a listing out on multiple marketplaces in a matter of minutes. In the end, you might find that the consumer responds better to your item on an entirely different platform. This could spark an idea and finally make the light bulb go off.
Discover your best marketplace fit
We know the importance of throwing a wider net to potentially catch a sale and decrease the time spent waiting, as well as the need to research a little more. But why limit yourself to one place when there could potentially be a better fit? If you are able to succeed at one thing and double down on it, that is absolutely amazing, but there are other reasons to find a better marketplace fit! I was just watching Ginger Marvin on YouTube recently, and they had mentioned in one of their videos that while they do really well on eBay, they love to crosspost slow-moving inventory onto Mercari and have found that it has given them some success in moving slower items. Not only is it great to make a sale, but there is a clear-cut reason for this process, and it just makes everything much more streamlined for their inventory in the end. That doesn’t mean you have to limit yourself to just slow movers.
As a reseller, I like my eBay store to be a one-stop shop for all of my inventory. However, I have had better success selling certain items on Mercari and Poshmark, so it was a unique opportunity to build a brand on those platforms and niche down.
