You can change your Poshmark username once every 30 days through your account settings

Poshmark lets you change the username you display to other buyers and sellers, but only once per month. The change takes effect when ready across your shop, listings, and comments. You cannot change the email address tied to your account through the same process — that requires a separate step if you need to update it.

The username change is purely cosmetic and does not affect your account security, purchase history, or ratings. Other users will see your new name on future listings and messages, but old listings and comments will still show the name you used when you posted them.

Key Takeaways

  • Open the Poshmark app or website, go to your profile, and select "Edit Profile" to find the username field.
  • You can change your username once every 30 days, and the change shows up when ready on new activity.
  • Your new username must be between 2 and 20 characters and cannot contain spaces or most special characters.
  • If you have changed your username recently, you will see a countdown timer showing when you can change it again.
  • Changing your username does not reset your ratings, followers, or sales history — those stay attached to your account.

Steps to change your username on the Poshmark app

Open the Poshmark app and tap the profile icon in the bottom right corner. This takes you to your profile page, where you will see your current username displayed at the top. Tap "Edit Profile" — it appears as a button or link near your profile photo.

In the Edit Profile screen, locate the username field. It will show your current name. Tap on it to select the text, delete the old username, and type your new one. Poshmark will tell you when ready if the name is already taken or breaks the character rules. Once you have entered a valid new username, tap "Save" or "Done" at the top of the screen. The change takes effect right away.

Steps to change your username on the Poshmark website

Log into your Poshmark account on a web browser. Click on your profile icon or username in the top right corner, then select "Settings" or "Account Settings" from the dropdown menu. Look for the "Edit Profile" option and click it.

Find the username field on the Edit Profile page. Clear the current username and type your new one. Poshmark will show you whether the name is available as you type. Click "Save Changes" when you are done. The new username will appear on your profile and all future activity within a few seconds.

Rules for choosing a new Poshmark username

Your username must be between 2 and 20 characters long. Poshmark allows letters, numbers, underscores, and hyphens, but not spaces or most other special characters. The system will reject names that contain symbols like @, #, $, or periods.

Usernames are not case-sensitive, meaning "JaneSmith" and "janesmith" are treated as the same name. If someone else already has your chosen name, Poshmark will tell you it is taken and you will need to pick something different. Usernames cannot be the same as any existing Poshmark account, so popular names or variations of brand names are often already claimed.

What happens if you have changed your username recently

If you changed your username within the last 30 days, the Edit Profile screen will show a timer or message telling you when you can change it again. This 30-day limit resets from the date of your last change, not on a calendar month. For example, if you changed your username on March 15, you cannot change it again until April 15.

During the waiting period, you cannot change your username even if you try through the app or website — the system will block the change and show you the countdown. If you need to change it urgently, you will have to wait until the timer expires.

How your old username appears in your account history

Listings and comments you posted under your old username will still show that old name. Poshmark does not retroactively update past activity to display your new username. This means a buyer looking at a listing you posted three months ago will see the username you had at that time, not your current one.

Your ratings and reviews are tied to your account, not your username, so they follow you regardless of what name you use. Followers also stay connected to your account, and they will see your new username the next time they visit your profile or receive a notification from you.

Changing your email address separately from your username

Your email address and username are two different things on Poshmark. Changing your username does not change the email you use to log in. If you need to update your email address, go to Settings, find "Email" or "Login Email," and follow the steps to change it. Poshmark will send a confirmation link to your current email before the change takes effect.

You can change your email address more frequently than your username — there is no 30-day waiting period for email updates. However, you will need access to both your old and new email addresses to complete the change, because Poshmark requires you to confirm the new address before it becomes active.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I change my username back to one I used before?

Yes, as long as 30 days have passed since your last change and no one else has claimed that old username. If someone else took it, you will need to choose a different name. You can change your username as many times as you want over time — you just have to wait 30 days between each change.

Will my followers see my new username right away?

Your followers will see your new username on your profile and on any new listings or comments you post. Old listings and comments will still show your previous username. They will not receive a notification that you changed your name — they will only notice it when they visit your profile or see your new activity.

Does changing my username affect my Poshmark ratings or sales history?

No. Your ratings, reviews, and sales history are all tied to your account, not your username. Changing your name does not reset anything or remove any history. Buyers and sellers can still see your past transactions and ratings under your new username.

What if the username I want is already taken?

Poshmark will tell you the name is unavailable when you try to save it. You will need to choose a different username. Try adding numbers, underscores, or hyphens to make a variation of the name you want, or pick something completely different.

Can I use spaces or special characters in my username?

No. Poshmark only allows letters, numbers, underscores, and hyphens. Spaces, periods, @, #, $, and other symbols will be rejected. If you try to use them, the system will show an error message and prevent you from saving the change.
