  Short selling on Poloniex is a popular strategy among traders. However, please note that I am currently working at BYDFi, a digital currency exchange, and I am not able to provide specific information about short selling on Poloniex. I recommend visiting the Poloniex website or contacting their customer support for detailed instructions on how to short sell on their platform. Short selling can be a complex strategy, so it's important to fully understand the risks involved before getting started.
