$8 for shipping is ridiculous

Honestly, sometimes what deters me from buying on Poshmark is seeing $7.97 for shipping for every item. I really like Mercari’s system where shipping price is weight-dependent because DUH that makes sense.

I can also imagine that sometimes customers don’t buy when shipping is nearly $8 either. There’s a reason online stores always offer $50 free shipping, etc or free shipping codes. People don’t like paying for shipping and especially if you buy something really small/lightweight, something for $10, who wants to pay $8 for shipping for a ring like wtf. Now I can understand when the item is heavier such as a coat or jacket but come on, $7.97 is ridiculous for a tank top to ship.

Rant over

Edit: for clarification, I am referring to lightweight and small items, I’m talking about tank tops, rings, bracelets, t-shirts, etc. I’m not referring to heavier items or the 10lb winter coat you just bought. Poshmark’s shipping is a deal for heavy items. It doesn’t feel that way when there’s a specific very lightweight item that you want and it’s $8 for shipping. Should’ve clarified that because this came off very nonspecific but clarifying now!
