On Poshmark, the term “reserved” typically refers to an item that a seller has set aside for a specific buyer. This might happen in a few different scenarios:
Direct Request: A buyer may request that an item be reserved for them, meaning they intend to buy it soon but may need a little time to finalize their purchase. The seller can then mark the item as reserved to indicate that it is not available for other buyers during that time.
Negotiation: Sometimes, during negotiations or discussions between a buyer and seller, a seller may agree to reserve an item temporarily while they discuss price or other details, such as shipping or bundling with other items.
Bundles: If a buyer is creating a bundle of multiple items, a seller may reserve items within that bundle until the buyer has completed their purchase.
While the item is marked as reserved, it usually cannot be purchased by other buyers. It’s important for both parties to communicate clearly to ensure that the reservation is honored and the transaction is completed smoothly. If the buyer fails to complete the purchase within an agreed-upon timeframe, the seller can often unreserve the item and make it available for others to buy.
