Poshmark lets you delete your account, but the process is not reversible

Deleting a Poshmark account is permanent. Once you confirm the deletion, Poshmark removes your profile, listings, messages, and purchase history. You cannot undo this action or recover the account later, even if you use the same email address to sign up again — your old data will not reappear.

The deletion happens through the app or website, not through customer support. You do not need to contact Poshmark directly unless you run into a technical problem during the process. The account closes within a few days of your request.

Key Takeaways

  • You can delete your Poshmark account through the app or website by going to Settings, then Account, then Delete Account.
  • Deletion is permanent and cannot be reversed, so read or screenshot anything you want to keep before you proceed.
  • If you have active listings or pending transactions, Poshmark may not let you delete until those are resolved.
  • Deleting your account does not refund money you spent or remove listings that sold — it only removes your ability to access the account.

How to delete your account on the Poshmark app

Open the Poshmark app and tap the profile icon in the bottom right corner. Tap the gear icon to open Settings. Scroll down and tap Account, then scroll to the bottom of that page and tap Delete Account.

Poshmark will ask you to confirm that you want to delete your account and will warn you that the action is permanent. Read the message, then tap Delete Account again. You will receive an email confirmation that your account has been marked for deletion.

How to delete your account on the Poshmark website

Log in to your Poshmark account at poshmark.com. Click your profile icon in the top right corner and select Settings. Click Account in the left menu, then scroll down and click Delete Account.

Poshmark will display a confirmation message explaining that deletion is permanent and will remove all your data. Click Delete Account to confirm. You will see a message saying your account has been marked for deletion, and you will receive an email to the address on file.

What happens to your listings and sales after deletion

Listings you posted will be removed from the Poshmark marketplace once your account is deleted. However, if someone purchased an item from you before you deleted the account, that transaction still exists in Poshmark's records — the buyer can still see the order and tracking information, but they cannot contact you through the app.

Any money in your Poshmark account (from sales or credits) does not transfer to you when you delete. If you have a balance you want to keep, you must withdraw it to your bank account or PayPal before you delete. Once the account is gone, Poshmark does not refund balances.

Why Poshmark might not let you delete your account

Poshmark blocks deletion if you have active listings with pending sales or if a transaction is still in progress. You must complete or cancel any open sales before you can proceed. If you have listings you do not want to sell, you can delete them individually from your closet before requesting account deletion.

If you have a dispute or return in progress, Poshmark may also prevent deletion until that is resolved. Contact Poshmark support through the app if you cannot delete and are not sure why — they can tell you what is blocking the request.

How to save your information before deleting

Before you delete, take screenshots or notes of anything you want to remember: your sales history, buyer and seller reviews, messages from other users, or photos of items you listed. Poshmark does not provide a way to read your data in bulk, so manual saving is your only option.

If you sold items and want to keep records for taxes or personal reference, screenshot your sales page. If you want to preserve reviews or feedback, do the same. Once deletion is complete, none of this information will be accessible to you.

Deactivating instead of deleting

Poshmark does not offer a temporary deactivation option the way some apps do. Your only choices are to keep your account active or delete it permanently. If you want to step away without losing your account, you can straightforward stop using it — your profile will remain but you do not have to post or respond to messages.

If you think you might want to return to selling or buying on Poshmark later, keeping your account active is safer than deleting. You can always delete it later if you change your mind.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I reactivate my account after I delete it?

No. Deletion is permanent and irreversible. If you sign up again with the same email, you will have a new account with no connection to your old one. Your old data, reviews, and sales history will not come back.

What if I deleted my account by mistake?

Contact Poshmark support through the app or website right away. If you reach out before the deletion is fully processed (usually within a few days), they may be able to stop it. After that, recovery is not possible.

Do I get a refund if I have money in my Poshmark account when I delete?

No. Any balance in your account is forfeited when you delete. Withdraw any money to your bank account or PayPal before you proceed with deletion.

Will deleting my account remove my reviews or feedback from other users' profiles?

Your reviews and feedback remain on other users' profiles even after your account is deleted. Other sellers and buyers can still see what you wrote about them, but your profile will no longer be linked to those reviews.

Can I delete my account if I have a pending return or dispute?

No. You must resolve any open returns, disputes, or transactions before Poshmark will let you delete. Complete the return process or contact Poshmark support to close the dispute first.
