# Accepted an offer? Should I lower the price on other sites?

> Generally no. Receiving a lower offer on one marketplace has little to do with pricing on the others. The real focus should be on closing the gap before it gets sold twice.

Usually not. Receiving a lower offer on one marketplace has little to do with pricing on the others. Once it sells, there is nothing left to reprice. The priority should be removing it from all the other sites where it can still be purchased. Change your prices only when the offer offers insights on the true market value of the item.

## How it works

Offers are not new prices. If you sell a $60 jacket on Poshmark, eBay and Mercari and accept an offer of $45 on Poshmark, that $45 is only for that buyer. When that sale goes through, the jacket is no longer for sale and the other listings of the jacket do not drop to $45.

What is important is when the offer actually becomes a sale. A jacket listed for $60 on all three sites is still selling for $60 while a potential buyer can check out. On Poshmark, when you accept an offer, the sale is completed and the payment is processed. Items listed for sale on other sites are still for sale, and a potential buyer can check out. On eBay, a seller’s counter offer remains open until the buyer makes a decision. In Facebook Marketplace, a price agreed upon in messages is just an agreement, until the buyer actually pays or picks it up.

I work in this order when an offer comes in on a crosslisted item:

1. First, check your net. Fees vary by site, so a $45 offer on Poshmark (a 20% fee on sales of $15 and up) is about a $36 net. The same $45 offer on another site may result in more or less. Compare what you keep, not the headline number.
2. Next, decide if the offer is a one-off or a signal. One lowball offer on a two-week-old listing is noise. Multiple offers around $45 on a 90-day old listing means $60 is too high everywhere.
3. If you accept the offer and the sale is final right away, delist the item on the other sites right away.
4. If the sale isn't final, and you aren't sure about the buyer, you can set the other listings to unavailable until the buyer pays.
5. Don't adjust pricing on the other identical inventory until after you've sold it, or until you've decided the offer was a real price signal.

With bundling, more items are tied up at once. A bundle of 3 tops discounted on Poshmark is a sale of 3 items, meaning all 3 need to be removed from Mercari, Depop, and other sites where they're listed. Discount bundling on Poshmark is even less of a reason to reprice items, as the discount pays for the convenience of a bundle and a single shipping charge. The most costly mistake is selling the same item more than once. Selling 2 buyers the same item results in a cancellation and can adversely affect your seller performance on a marketplace. Cancellations are tracked by many marketplaces, and a canceled buyer isn't likely to come back. Removing the other listings is more important than pricing in this post.

## What to watch out for

Keep an eye out for the following:

Having numerous offers out on different sites at the same time. Offers can easily get accepted on multiple sites at the same time, especially if you're out and about and have offers pending on numerous sites. Keeping offers pending on an item on only one site at a time is ideal.

- Making offers while away from your desk. Part-time sellers often accept offers and for get to cancel offers on other listings until the end of the day. A few hours is plenty of time for a second sale.
- Bundle listings with crosslisted items. It's easy to delist the item the buyer is asking about and completely miss the two add-ons they bundled with it.
- Accepted, unpaid offers. If acceptance of an offer doesn't charge the buyer, don't leave the other listings fully live for days. Set yourself a time limit, for example 24 hours, before you relist elsewhere.
- In regard to pricing, don't chase offers. Dropping all of your listings to match the lowest offer accepted teaches buyers that offering low works, and you get stuck selling items at a loss.

A big price drop on Poshmark can send a price-drop notification to likers, so if you decide the price was too high, a big meaningful cut is better than a bunch of small cuts.

It makes sense to match prices on the same offers across multiple marketplaces if you have similar, or the same, items, and offers keep coming in at the same price. In that case, the offer is market data and each channel should reflect it. This isn’t the case with unique items, because each buyer is a separate negotiation and the item is sold when it’s bought. It’s also not necessary to keep prices the same everywhere. Many sellers price slightly higher on sites with higher fees and that’s alright as long as you check your profit on the other sites.

## Close the offer gap with PrimeLister

When you accept an offer on a cross-listed item, you have to remove the same item from the other sites, and that can be very time consuming if you have a lot of items. This can work if you list a few items each week, but not if you have a lot of offers coming in while you’re sourcing, shipping or not even awake. PrimeLister does the delisting and gives you information to see if an offer is a price signal.

- Auto-delisting the item once it sells on one of the marketplaces you’re listing it on, and syncing your inventory on Poshmark, eBay, Mercari, Depop, Etsy and Facebook Marketplace.
- Bulk actions to do price changes on groups of similar items.
- Analytics on sell-through rate and time on market, so you can tell a stale listing that deserves a price cut from a fresh one that just got a lowball.
- A free Poshmark fee calculator to see how much you keep on a given offer before accepting it.
- A bot that automatically extends offers on Poshmark and offers to likers on Depop, keeping the rest of your inventory in sync when one is accepted.
- Team access with role-based permissions, so someone can answer offers when you can't.

Each of the Poshmark and Depop bots have a 7-day free trial with no credit card required to get started.
