How to cross list (import) Poshmark listings to Mercari
Crosslisting from Poshmark to Mercari means putting the same item up for sale on both marketplaces, so more buyers see it. Done by hand, it means downloading photos and retyping every field. With OctoResell it takes three clicks, and you still check the listing before it goes live.

Step by step
- Import from Poshmark. Open your item on Poshmark and click Import to OctoResell at the bottom right. It saves the photos, title, description, price, brand, size and condition in your browser.
- Send to Mercari. Press Mercari in the card that appears, or in the OctoResell popup. The Mercari listing form opens in a new tab.
- Check and post. OctoResell uploads the photos and fills the fields. Its checklist shows anything it could not fill, with a button that jumps to the field. Fix those, then press Mercari's own post button.
What carries over to Mercari
- Photos: full-size, up to 12 per listing.
- Title: Mercari titles are limited to 80 characters, so long Poshmark titles are trimmed at a word boundary.
- Description: up to 1,000 characters, with brand, size, color and condition added on one line at the end.
- Price: copied as is, or raised or lowered by the percentage you set to cover Mercari's fees.
- Category and condition: picked from Mercari's dropdowns when a close match exists. If not, the checklist tells you to pick them.
Before you post on Mercari
Mercari asks for shipping weight and who pays shipping. Those depend on your package, so set them yourself after the fill.

|---|---|---|
| Title | 80 characters | 80 characters |

What to check on this route
- Photos are cut. A Poshmark listing can have up to 16 photos, and Mercari accepts 12. Only the first 12 are copied, so put your best photos first.
- Long descriptions are shortened. Mercari takes 1,000 characters against 1,500 on Poshmark, so check that measurements and flaws survive the trim. OctoResell adds the brand, size, color and condition line at the end, so that line is the first to be cut.
- Category and condition. The two marketplaces use different category trees and condition scales, so the checklist asks you to confirm them.
