Delete a Poshmark listing in three steps
To delete a listing on Poshmark, open the app or website, find the item in your closet, tap the three dots next to it, and select "Delete listing." The item disappears from your shop when ready. You cannot undo this action, so make sure you want the listing gone before you confirm — Poshmark does not keep a trash folder or recovery option.
Most people delete listings because an item sold elsewhere, the price is too low to bother with, or they changed their mind about selling. Whatever your reason, the process takes about 30 seconds and requires no explanation to Poshmark.
Key Takeaways
- Deleted listings cannot be recovered, so double-check that you want to remove the item before you confirm the action.
- The three-dot menu appears next to each listing in your closet on both the Poshmark app and website.
- A deleted listing stops showing in search results and your shop when ready, even if someone had it saved or shared it.
- If you want to keep the listing but hide it temporarily, use the "Deactivate" option instead of deleting it.
How to find the three-dot menu on the Poshmark app
Open Poshmark and tap the shopping bag icon at the bottom of the screen to go to your closet. Scroll through your listings until you find the item you want to delete. Next to the item's photo and price, you will see three vertical dots — tap them to open a menu with several options.
If you do not see the three dots right away, make sure you are looking at your own closet, not someone else's shop. Your closet shows "My Closet" at the top of the screen. The three dots only appear on listings you own.
How to find the three-dot menu on the Poshmark website
Log into Poshmark on a computer or mobile browser and click "My Closet" in the top navigation. Find the listing you want to delete and hover your mouse over the item card. The three dots will appear in the top right corner of the card — click them to see your options.
On a mobile browser, tap the listing to open it fully, then look for the three dots in the top right corner of the screen. Tap them to open the menu.
The difference between deleting and deactivating a listing
Deleting a listing removes it permanently from Poshmark. The item no longer appears in search results, your shop, or anyone's saved items. If someone had the listing bookmarked or shared the link, that link will no longer work.
Deactivating a listing hides it temporarily without removing it. The item stays in your closet but does not show up when people search or browse. You can reactivate it later by tapping the three dots again and selecting "set up listing." Use deactivate if you are not sure whether you want to sell the item, or if you want to relist it under a different price or description later.
What happens to your sales history after you delete a listing
Deleting a listing does not erase any sales you already made. If you sold the item before deleting the listing, the sale stays in your "Sold" section and your sales history. Poshmark keeps that record for your account and for the buyer's records.
If you delete a listing that never sold, it straightforward disappears. You will not see it in your closet anymore, and you cannot pull up the listing details later. This is why taking a photo of the listing or writing down the description is useful if you think you might want to relist the same item in the future.
Reasons to delete versus reasons to deactivate
Delete a listing if the item is gone for good — you sold it elsewhere, gave it away, or no longer want to sell it at all. Delete also if you listed something by mistake or the listing has incorrect information that you cannot fix by editing.
Deactivate a listing if you want to pause selling it temporarily, if you are waiting to restock the same item, or if you want to relist it with a new price or photos later. Deactivate also if you are unsure whether you want to sell and want to think it over without the listing showing in your shop.
Editing a listing instead of deleting it
Before you delete, check whether editing solves your problem. Tap the three dots next to the listing and select "Edit listing" to change the title, description, price, photos, or condition. You can also add more photos or fix a typo without deleting and starting over.
Editing keeps your listing history intact — any likes, shares, or comments people made on the original listing stay attached. Deleting and relisting the same item starts from zero, so people who had it saved will not see the new version unless they search again.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I undo a deletion on Poshmark?
No. Once you delete a listing, Poshmark does not provide a way to recover it. The listing is gone permanently. If you need the item back in your shop, you will have to create a new listing from scratch with photos and description.
What if I delete a listing by accident?
Contact Poshmark support through the app or website and explain what happened. They may be able to restore the listing if you reach out quickly, though there is no may provide. The faster you report the mistake, the better your chances.
Does deleting a listing affect my seller rating?
No. Deleting a listing does not change your rating or reviews. Only completed sales and how you handled them affect your seller score. Removing unsold items from your shop has no impact on your account standing.
If I deactivate a listing, can I reactivate it later?
Yes. Go to your closet, find the deactivated listing, tap the three dots, and select "set up listing." The item goes back into search results and your shop with all the original photos, description, and price intact.
What happens to comments or likes on a deleted listing?
They disappear along with the listing. If someone had commented asking a question or liked the item, those interactions are gone. This is another reason to deactivate instead of delete if you might want to relist the item later.
