You can delete your Poshmark account through the app or website, but the process is permanent and you cannot undo it
Poshmark does not offer a temporary deactivation option — deletion is final. Once you delete your account, your username becomes unavailable forever, all your listings disappear, and you lose access to your purchase history and messages. If you have active sales or pending transactions, Poshmark will not let you delete until those are resolved. You need to either complete the sales, cancel them, or wait for them to expire before you can proceed.
The deletion happens when ready after you confirm it. You will receive a confirmation email, but there is no waiting period or recovery window. If you think you might want to return to selling later, or if you are unsure about losing your purchase history, consider whether a temporary step — like delisting all your items or pausing your account activity — might work better for your situation.
