Poshmark Rolls Out Sudden Death Option To Drive Buying Urgency In Live Posh Shows
Poshmark's Sudden Death feature for Posh Shows rolls out to more sellers, helping drive buying urgency for livestream shoppers.
The feature was first introduced at Posh Fest 2024 and allows sellers to choice to run auctions with a timer that doesn't reset.

Initially only available to a handful of sellers, Sudden Death has now expanded - but some users posting in the r/BehindTheClosetDoor subreddit are less than impressed.
There are rarely enough buyers in most Poshmark shows to make sudden death a necessary feature. It makes much more sense on other platforms. Poshmark keeps trying to shove live shows down our throats when it is not their forte.
Boooooo. Yet another example of them only giving AF about live shows. Meanwhile there are a LOT of buyers who hate shows and refuse to shop that way. Where are the app improvements for them?!
It’s good for .00001% of live users who have thousands of pieces from pallets so good for them. Still doesn’t solve the ‘there are very few buyers here’ I just have to say that in all the years I have been selling I usually had a dry spell for a few days.
Now it’s 10 days - no sales, no traffic. I have been posting very popular stuff at low prices etc etc. Sudden death is for whatnot and 1 live seller that sells bags and has huge shows on PM
The only people asking for this are making over a million a year in pallets and replica purses, nobody with normal volume would need this.

Though I changed the default on two accounts, I just tried to do it on my last one. It took three tries. Don't know how effective it will be.

I am thinking it is specifically related to AI?
