Poshmark Names November 27 Secondhand Sunday
Poshmark is encouraging secondhand holiday gifting this season, proclaiming the Sunday after Thanksgiving to be Secondhand Sunday.
Today, we announce the creation of National Secondhand Sunday, the first-ever holiday dedicated to supporting secondhand sellers, circular fashion, and the planet during the peak holiday shopping season. The Registrar at National Day Calendar proclaimed Secondhand Sunday will be observed on the first Sunday following Thanksgiving annually. The inaugural Secondhand Sunday will take place Nov 27, 2022.
But, this is so much more than just a holiday to us—it’s a movement encouraging everyone to shop secondhand.
This holiday season is primed to be the biggest on record for secondhand gifting. Inflation is making secondhand gifting more appealing than ever with about two in five consumers concerned rising costs will result in spending more when it comes to holiday shopping this year. Yet, they still want to find those extra special gifts. Couple that with the independent research**, showing more than 90% of US adults are open to receiving a secondhand or resale gift this holiday season, yet only a third (34%) are likely to buy them for others, and our community has a unique opportunity to support shifting shopping habits and encourage consumers to think secondhand when they’re crossing off their holiday list.
Enter Secondhand Sunday: a movement to encourage everyone to experience the magic of shopping personal – buying unique and one-of-a-kind items from individual sellers instead of traditional retailers. As a seller, be on the lookout for a series of opportunities, promotions and events leading up to Secondhand Sunday on 11/27.
Today is just the beginning, but here are a few ways you can get involved:

I can’t be the only one doing this, eBay have not thought this through. We will have to use a different platform for these sales unless eBay sees sense and provides an opt out.
Additionally I do not like being dictated to in this way. I’ve used eBay for 22 years and it’s worked fine, so why mess it up??
