Is There a Vacation Mode on Poshmark?

Yes, there is a way to temporarily close your shop while you’re away, so no sales sneak in and you don’t miss shipping a package while you’re not home (get tips on shipping with free Priority Mailers). A vacation hold is nice because, let’s face it, most of us started reselling for more freedom and flexibility.

That means you’re going to want to take time off (for family, church, travel or just some me-time!), and missing sales can be an issue if you have an active closet.

What is Vacation Hold on Poshmark?

Poshmark vacation mode is a way to close your Poshmark closet while you’re away. This feature will place a message on all of your listings saying, “Be right back! Closed for vacation until (specified date).”

Your listings can still be viewed, liked and shared. People can also comment on them. But customers can’t purchase items when your store is on a vacation hold.

What Happens Once I Temporarily Close My Closet?

Your listings are temporarily set to Not for Sale, which prevents people from purchasing any items when you’re away. That way, you don’t need to worry about figuring out how to ship an order someone makes when you’re not home.

It also gives potential customers the heads-up that you’re away in case they have questions that you can’t immediately answer.

For most sellers (not all), it could be impractical to bring a large volume of items you’re selling with you on a trip, so Vacation Mode solves all of this.

The nice thing is Poshmark creates that automatic “Be right back!” message. It displays as a banner at the bottom of your closet in the app and follows the viewer as they scroll through your shop.

Customers can still comment on listings to ask questions, so you may want to check for this while you’re gone.

When Should I Turn  Poshmark Vacation Mode On?

• The most obvious reason for sellers to use vacation mode is that they are traveling for a break or for a sourcing trip (or both😉). 
• You may have a personal situation such as being sick, in the hospital or caring for someone else. 
• You may need some time to reorganize your Poshmark closet or your entire inventory system. 
• You also may just need a complete time-out and that’s OK!

The best rule of thumb is to temporarily close your closet if you will be out of town or unavailable for over five days. That way, you won’t disappoint buyers or risk an order cancellation if it takes longer to ship their items (find out how to cancel an order on Poshmark). And, of course, you can always message a buyer if there are ever any shipping delays on your part.

How Do I Turn Off Vacation Mode When I Return

All you need to do is go to the account tab on the Poshmark app or account settings online and toggle Vacation Mode off, then save your settings.

The listings you’re selling on Poshmark will be set to For Sale again, so sellers can buy them.
