Poshmark Kills Bulk Sharing, Will Other Community Features Be Next?
UPDATE 12-9-25
Poshmark backtracks on recent removal of Bulk Sharing tool, but will it make a difference with feed & discovery changes still in place?
Liz Morton
Poshmark sellers were thrown into turmoil this week with the sudden removal of the Bulk Sharing option as new leadership looks to focus more on sales and less on company's founding community ethos.
Sellers who noticed Bulk sharing is no longer possible in the app contacted support for information, since there was no post on the Poshmark blog or other public announcement about the feature being discontinued - and the response they got made it clear Poshmark does not intend to bring the feature back.
Thanks for reaching out! We recently removed the Bulk Sharing tool as part of our effort to simplify selling and focus on what truly helps you make sales.
You can still share individual listings when you want to highlight specific items, but there’s no need to bulk share regularly. Instead, we encourage you to focus on the actions that make the biggest impact:
- Respond promptly to buyer offers.
- Send offers to likers to convert interest into sales.
- Do regular price drops to stay competitive.
- Ship orders on time.
- Avoid cancellations to maintain a strong seller record.
These core actions improve visibility and conversion across the marketplace.
We’re confident this change will help your listings reach more motivated shoppers and make selling even more efficient.
Sellers took to social media to express their frustration and dismay at the change, including one Reddit post which has so far racked up over 100 replies, with some suggesting to leave negative reviews on the Poshmark app with an explanation of why they are upset about this change.
Everyone, please consider leaving a 1-star review on the Poshmark app in the Google and Apple stores to make it clear how these recent changes are hurting both sellers and buyers...
...It also feels like the platform’s direction is being driven by priorities that don’t support the long-time seller community. The heavy push toward specific product categories and the shift away from the features that built this marketplace are disappointing and out of touch.
Some say they believe Poshmark is intentionally taking away the sharing tool to try to get desperate sellers to spend more money on Promoted Closets.

While others think the idea is to get users to spend more time and engage in more activity on the app to help Korean parent company Naver, which acquired Poshmark in 2023, keep investors happy.
They LOVE you sharing manually. It takes longer and keeps you on the app. Shows active participation for their investors. When you take away the very benefit of being a Posh Ambassador to Kindergarten status, you're insulting business professionals.
I find their tactics insultive and downright breach of contract for what I initially signed up for. It's absurd and I sorta want a refund for all the money they've taken for MY hard work, not there's. I find them lazy and Temu bound.
And they may have a point - Poshmark co-founder and CEO Manish Chandra recently stepped down, passing leadership to Executive Chairman and Naver President of Investments, Namsun Kim, in a move that has only stoked seller concern that the company is moving away from its founding community ethos.

Fellow co-founders SVP Engineering Chetan Pungaliya's and SVP Seller Experience Tracy Sun have also left the company this year, leaving only one of the original founders, Chief Technology Officer Gautam Golwala, still at the company.

The move comes less than a month after Poshmark announced major changes coming to feed visibility and discovery on the platform which also de-emphases sharing and other community focused features in favor of trust building factors, being active and responsive on the site, and on time shipping.

As part of those changes, Poshmark said sharing and following will still be an important part of the user experience, but in differents ways:
- Sharing counts as activity and refreshes your listings in the Just Shared sort in Search.
- Sharing others’ listings is still a way to support the community, but it no longer impacts listing visibility in the Feed.
- Following helps you stay connected with the community, but it doesn’t impact how shoppers discover your listings.
It remains to be seen if Poshmark will respond to seller outrage over the loss of Bulk Sharing.
In the past, leadership was often sensitive to user feedback, like the quick reversal of new fee policies Poshmark tried to introduce last year when it became clear both buyers and sellers were unhappy with the changes.

But as Naver has taken more control and planned for the leadership transition over the last year, seller sentiment seems to hold less and less sway with controversial changes like the Excessive Listing Removal policy sticking despite massive pushback.

For now, some sellers say they are still able to access Bulk Sharing in the app if they have not updated yet and that it may also still be available by going through the web experience on desktop or mobile browser rather than the app.
