PosherVA Automatic OTL Settings



Offer Delay in Minutes



This is the number of minutes you would like PosherVA to wait before sending an offer.

For example, if you enter 3 minutes, PosherVA will send an offer to likers approximately 3 minutes after the like. Note that this is a minimum value. PosherVA will randomize intervals to protect your account, so it might be a little longer than what you enter in this field.

Offer Discount Type



This is the type of discount you would like in the offers to be sent by PosherVA.



Tip: The higher discount you offer, the more likely you are to make sales. However; we do not recommend that you send your very best offer instantly. You might want to offer a smaller percentage via Automatic OTL so that you can send larger bulk offers weekly with the Bulk Offer feature.

There are four choices:

Fixed Percentage Discount

This is simply a fixed percentage off of the current listing price to be included in all offers.

Remember: Poshmark™ requires that an offer be at least 10% off the current listing price.

Price-Dependent Percentage Discount

This allows you to offer flexible discounts based on the listing price of your item.

For example, you might choose to offer 10% off of items priced under $50, 15% off items priced $51-$100, etc.

You can create multiple custom rules to allow for flexible percentage discounts based on the current listing price.

Note that the accompanying shipping discount is flexible, too!
This allows you to maintain control of your profit by offering the best deal possible to the buyer by setting rules to be sure you protect your earnings.

Age-Dependent Percentage Discount

This allows you to offer flexible discounts based on the recency or age of your listing.


For example, you might choose to offer a smaller discount on newer items and a larger discount on older items.

You can create multiple custom rules to allow for flexible percentage discounts based on the age of the listing.

Note that the accompanying shipping discount is flexible, too!

This allows you to maintain control of your profit by offering a lower discount on newer items but more aggressive discounts on older listings.

Offer Discount By Category

This allows you to offer flexible discounts based on the category of the item.



First, you create a default offer that will apply to all unspecified items.

The default offer will be sent on all categories unless you create a custom rule for a specific category.

Then, you create custom rules based on category. You can create multiple rules.

Note that the accompanying shipping discount is flexible, too!
For example, above I created a rule that PosherVA will automatically send offers for 20% off and free shipping on all women’s bags. You can create as many as you would like to control your profit with custom offers by category!

Shipping Discount Mode



This refers to if you would like to offer a fixed shipping discount with all offers or a flexible discount based on the listing price of the item.

Remember: Poshmark™ requires you to include a shipping discount with each offer. You can offer $5.95 shipping, $4.99 shipping, or free shipping. In all cases, you pay the difference of the actual shipping cost (currently $7.97).

You can opt to offer a fixed discount with each offer or a price-dependent discount, where the shipping discount depends on the price of the item.

For example, with a price-dependent discount, you can select which shipping discount you will offer in accordance with the listing price:



Here, for example, I will offer $5.95 shipping for items sold for less than $50, $4.99 shipping for items sold between $50-$99, and free shipping on orders of at least $100. Flexible shipping discounts allow me to offer the most enticing deals to buyers without eating up too much profit!

Minimum Net Earnings



This is the minimum you want to earn. PosherVA will skip sending offers on items that would not yield enough profit to make your minimum.

To be clear, minimum earnings refer to the least amount you are willing to profit. PosherVA takes the listing price, subtracts the discount offer, substracts the shipping offer, and substracts what the Posh sale fee would be if the offer is accepted. If this final value does not meet the value you have entered as your minimum, no offers will be sent on that item.

Maximum Price of Items



This is the maximum listing price of items to send offers on.

PosherVA will not send offers on items that are currently listed at or above that price.

Exclude Items Listed in the Last x Hours



This setting enables you to exclude newly-listed items from bulk offers. If you enter a value; no offers will be sent on items listed within the number of days you enter.

If you enter 0 hours, no listings will be excluded by recency. If you enter 24, no offers will be sent on items you have listed in the last 24 hours.

Exclude Items By Condition



These settings enable you to exclude items by condition. If you select NWT and/or Boutique, no offers will be sent on those items.

If you don’t want to exclude items by condition, don’t toggle either box.

Exclude Individual items by URL



This setting enables you to exclude specific listings by URL.

If you add an item to your exclude list, PosherVA will never send any offers on that item.



Why exclude items from Automatic OTL?

Many Poshers won’t exclude any items. But this tool provides you with more control over your profit. If you want to send aggressive offers on the rest of your closet, you can exclude items you do not want to include.

You might exclude consignment items, mystery boxes, highly valuable items, or anything that you don’t want PosherVA to send offers on.

More About Sending Offers with PosherVA

PosherVA has two main tools to send offers to likers:

Automatic OTL: automatically sending offers to likers with each new like.
Sending Bulk Offers: completing a round of bulk offers.

The best way to maximize profit is to use both of these tools collaboratively to drive sales; by using Automatic OTL to send instant offers to each new liker, and to also send bulk offers occasionally with a more aggressive discount.

For example, you might have Automatic OTL sent to each liker with a 15% discount, but send bulk offers once a week with a 25% discount. 🎯
