The Benefits of Being a Poshmark Ambassador I & II

In late 2017, Poshmark rolled out the status of Poshmark Ambassador. I wasn’t sure what that meant and if it was worth it for me. Are there benefits to being a Poshmark Ambassador? Did I have to do anything extra to maintain my status?

In February 2022, Poshmark introduced the Poshmark Ambassador II status with an additional set of benefits and requirements.

If you’re striving to become an ambassador or have recently become one, you may be wondering what’s in store for you. Read more below to learn more about Poshmark Ambassador I & II perks and benefits. Then you can decide if they’re worth it for you.

What's a PM ambassador?

A PM ambassador is someone who represents the community well. You’re active in buying, selling, and sharing on the app. You’re a rule stickler meaning you adhere to their guidelines. You also provide great customer service to your buyers. Who wouldn’t want you?!?

What are the criteria to be a Poshmark Ambassador I?

To become a PM Ambassador 1, you have to meet these criteria:

Community Shares: Share at least 5,000 items from other Poshers’ closets
Self-Shares: Share your own items at least 5,000 times to the community
Available Listings: Have at least 50 available listings in your closet
Listings Sold: Made at least 15 sales
Average Rating: Have an average rating of at least 4.5 stars
Average Ship Time: Have an average ship time of less than 3 days
Leave 1 Love Note. Leave at least 1 positive feedback called a Love Note for another Posher.

Basically, you’re awesome! This used to be called Suggested User status until the name change in late 2017.

You may still hear people talking about being a Suggested User because it had different perceived benefits and brings back a bit of nostalgia from the earlier days of PM.

I’ve recently had people share with me that they really want to achieve PM Ambassador status. They’ve been selling for a certain number of months and are still not there yet, but other people they know are already ambassadors.

In this case, I tell them to look at the criteria above and figure out what they can do to accomplish it sooner. It’s not too hard to achieve, but you may need to be strategic to fit all the necessary parts into your plans.

The most common issues I see are that a seller doesn’t have enough available listings or enough listings sold. These can be a challenge for some sellers, especially those that just want to clean out their closet and don’t have much to sell.

In this case, you’ll want to scale up. Clear out more of your closet or ask friends and family for more things to list. Make sure to list popular, in-demand items too because that will get you those sales.

I’m always telling myself to list, list, list! That’s a good way to make more sales.

What are the criteria to be a Poshmark Ambassador II?

The criteria to be a PM Ambassador II is more stringent but also not too difficult to achieve if you’re an active seller.

6 consecutive months as a Posh Ambassador
20,000 community shares
1 Posher recruited
100 available listings
50 listings sold
4.7+ seller rating
<3 day ship time

You only need to meet the entry requirements once and then you’re set. You don’t have to worry about them again.

I’ve heard some people say they’ve had difficulty recruiting others to Poshmark. Ask a friend or family member if he or she would sign up. The person may want to help you, even if he or she does not intend to purchase anything.

I read of one person who signed herself up under a different email address, although that’s probably not allowed.

Poshmark Ambassador II entry requirements

What are the benefits of being a Poshmark Ambassador I?

When you’re a PM Ambassador I, PM promises you some perks:

Get recommended to new Poshers
Receive an exclusive newsletter with sneak peeks
Unlock access to fun programs and special opportunities

Not bad, right? I love being recommended to new users. The more followers, the better.

And I’ll take any insightful information I can get to help me make more sales. Most recently, Poshmark Ambassadors received early access to PoshFest tickets a day before they went on sale to the public.

What are the benefits of being a Poshmark Ambassador II?

The benefits are even better!

A Posh Ambassador II badge
PA II Priority Support
Tickets to Posh Events
Global in-app promotion
Exclusive live events

The most exciting benefit to many other sellers and me is the priority support. This may make it worth striving to be a PM Ambassador II.

You probably know that Poshmark support is solely through email and it can take 1-2 days (or maybe more?) to receive a response. That’s a long time when you’re nervous about something with money on the line.

Knowing that you’ll get faster support is a huge deal!

How do you maintain Poshmark Ambassador I status?

You’re set as a PM Ambassador I once you meet the entry requirements. For example, you don’t need to keep sharing items once you’ve meet the 5,000 shares entry mark.

I think I’ve gone below the 50 available listings mark in the past and still kept my PM Ambassador I status, so I suspect you don’t need to sustain the numbers required for entry.

How do you maintain Poshmark Ambassador II status?

The requirements for this are more demanding because there’s upkeep required every quarter.

250 listings created
50 sold listings
4,000 community shares
4.7+ seller rating

You’ll probably notice that these numbers are not for the casual or small seller.

To list 250 items in a quarter (3 months), you have to list an average of 83-84 items a month. You need to sell 16-17 items a month as well.

And then there’s the time involved to complete community shares. If I share 1 item every 2 seconds, it would take me 2.22 hours to complete 4,000 shares. Maybe you’re a faster sharer than me!

It takes some work to maintain PM Ambassador II status, although there are ways around this:

Relist old items as new ones. Services such as Vendoo can help with this.
Use an automated sharing service. This is technically not allowed on Poshmark, but I know that many large-scale sellers use them openly.

Status is checked at the beginning of every quarter on January 1st, April 1st, July 1st, and October 1st.

Poshmark Ambassador II quarterly requirements

Is it worth it to be a Poshmark Ambassador I or II?

Now here’s the second part that everyone wants to know: is it worth it to be a Poshmark Ambassador?

I’ve been a Poshmark Ambassador I for years. To tell you the truth, I don’t think it’s helped me make more sales.

At its most basic level, Poshmark is an app on which to buy and sell goods. I look at every change or new feature in terms of whether or not it’s able to help me do that.

I can’t say that my sales have improved in any notable way. My sales improve when I do other things such as share my own listings and make offers to likers.

But ambassador status is social proof that I’m a reliable seller who provides good service to my customers. When you’re one in a sea of millions of sellers, that’s one added perk of having the status.

The uncertain shopper may decide to buy from you knowing that you’re active and trustworthy. You can set yourself apart from many other sellers in this way. So in that sense, it’s worth striving for.

It’s also brought me a lot of followers. Once I became a Poshmark Ambassador, my number of followers increased dramatically. If you have a small following of only a few thousand, when you share a listing, it’s not shown to many people.

Now when I share a listing, it goes to thousands upon thousands of followers. There are more people seeing your item and those people may share your listing even further to their followers.

Although I haven’t seen major increases in shares or sales, it doesn’t hurt to have more followers. Every new follower is a potential buyer.

Bottom line is if you’re looking to sell well and quickly, your best bet is to use these tips. Take action by sharing your own listings and using selling features such as offering discounts to your likers and dropping prices during Closet Clear Out days.

As for Poshmark Ambassador II status, I haven’t heard of anyone having major upticks in sales or noticeable benefit of being a PA II yet, but it may be too soon to say since the level was launched only a few months ago. Time will tell.

Should you leave the Poshmark Ambassador program?

Some people have requested to be removed from the Ambassador program because they felt it didn’t benefit them.

There’s really no downside to being an ambassador, so it’s worth remaining one, at least a PA I. Even if it doesn’t do much for you now, you never know what benefit it will bring you in the future as Poshmark continues to update their game. And once you remove yourself, who knows if you’ll ever be let back in?

It’s easy to continue being a PA I because you only have to meet entry requirements once. I wouldn’t go out of my way stretching myself thin to become a PA II, but if the opportunity came up because I was selling well on the platform and happened to meet the criteria, I would take it.

All in all, I’m happy to see that Poshmark offers multiple levels of ambassador status. I don’t see any downsides to being an ambassador, but some nice benefits now and maybe more in the future.

Frequently asked questions

1 ) Does being a Poshmark Ambassador help?

Being a Poshmark Ambassador helps you earn privileges such as a special newsletter, early access and free or discounted tickets to Poshmark events, and priority support. It helps show people you’re a reliable seller, but it doesn’t help to make more sales. The biggest benefits are the social ones.

2) What is the fastest way to become a Poshmark Ambassador?

The fastest way to Poshmark Ambassador I status is to look at your stats and see what criteria you still need to meet. Then focus on that aspect. If you need more community shares, sit down and get to sharing! If you need to make more sales, drop prices and negotiate to get sales.

Poshmark Ambassador II status requires 6 months as a PM Ambassador I first. The fastest way to PM Ambassador II status is to meet all the requirements during those 6 months, so you can be approved on the day you qualify.

You can’t lose Poshmark Ambassador I status, but you can lose Poshmark Ambassador II status. Once you become a PA I, you remain one forever. Once you become a PA II, you must meet the quarterly criteria (e.g., 50 sold listings per quarter) to remain one.
