Deleting your Poshmark account removes your profile, listings, and purchase history from the platform permanently

Poshmark does not have a self-service delete button in the app or website settings. To remove your account, you must contact Poshmark support directly through their help center and request account deletion. The process takes a few days to complete, and Poshmark will ask you to confirm that you want to proceed — they cannot undo the deletion once it is finished.

Before you delete, understand what happens: your username becomes unavailable to anyone else, your listings disappear, and any active sales or purchases are affected. If you have pending transactions or money in your Poshmark wallet, you should resolve those first.

Key Takeaways

  • Poshmark account deletion requires contacting support — there is no delete option in your account settings.
  • Complete any pending sales or purchases and withdraw your wallet balance before requesting deletion.
  • The deletion process takes several days, and Poshmark will ask you to confirm your request in writing.
  • Once deleted, your account cannot be recovered, and your username cannot be used again on Poshmark.

How to request account deletion through Poshmark support

Open the Poshmark app or go to poshmark.com and sign in to your account. Tap the profile icon in the bottom right corner (on mobile) or click your profile picture in the top right (on desktop). Scroll down to find "Help" or "Contact Us" — the exact location varies slightly between the app and website.

Select "Contact Poshmark Support" or "Help Center". Search for "delete account" or "close account" in the help search box. You will see an option to contact support directly. Choose "I'd like to delete my account" or a similar option, then fill out the form with your request. Be clear that you want to permanently delete your account, not deactivate it.

Poshmark support will respond within a few business days with a confirmation email. They may ask you to reply confirming that you understand the deletion is permanent. Once you confirm, the deletion process begins and typically completes within a week.

What to do with your wallet balance and active listings before deletion

If you have money in your Poshmark wallet from sales, you must withdraw it before deleting your account. Go to your profile, tap "Earnings" or "Wallet", and select "Withdraw Funds". Poshmark transfers the money to your linked bank account or debit card — this usually takes three to five business days. Wait for the transfer to complete before requesting deletion.

Any active listings will be removed when your account is deleted, so you do not need to delist items individually. However, if you have items you want to sell elsewhere, take photos and notes about the descriptions before deletion, since you will lose access to all that information once the account is gone.

If you have pending purchases or sales in progress, complete or cancel them first. Poshmark may delay account deletion if there are unresolved transactions, and the buyer or seller on the other end could be left without closure.

The difference between deactivating and deleting your Poshmark account

Poshmark offers two options: deactivation and deletion. Deactivation hides your profile and listings temporarily but keeps your account data on Poshmark's servers. You can reactivate a deactivated account by logging back in. Deletion is permanent — your account, profile, listings, and all associated data are removed and cannot be recovered.

Choose deactivation if you might want to return to Poshmark later or want to pause selling temporarily. Choose deletion if you are certain you will not use Poshmark again and want your information completely removed from the platform.

What happens to your reviews and purchase history after deletion

When your account is deleted, your reviews and ratings disappear from other users' profiles. Buyers and sellers who left you feedback will still see their own reviews, but your name will no longer appear as the person who left the review. Your purchase history is removed from your profile and cannot be accessed by you or anyone else.

Other users cannot see your deleted account or search for it by username. If someone tries to visit your old profile link, they will see a "user not found" message.

If you want to keep your account but stop using it

If you are not sure about permanent deletion, consider deactivating instead. To deactivate, go to your profile settings, scroll to the bottom, and look for "Deactivate Account" or "Close Account" (not delete). Deactivation hides your profile when ready, and you can reactivate by logging in again within a certain timeframe — Poshmark typically allows reactivation for up to a year.

Deactivation is also useful if you want to take a break from selling but might return later. Your listings will not be visible, but your account data stays intact.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I delete my Poshmark account from the mobile app?

You can request deletion through the app's help section, but the process is the same as on the website — you must contact support and confirm your request via email. There is no one-tap delete option in app settings.

What if I forgot my Poshmark password?

Go to the Poshmark login page and click "Forgot password?" Enter your email address, and Poshmark will send a reset link. Once you reset your password and log in, you can proceed with the deletion request through support.

Will deleting my account remove me from Poshmark's mailing list?

Yes, deletion removes your email from all Poshmark communications. If you only want to stop receiving emails, you can unsubscribe from marketing emails in your account settings without deleting your account.

Can someone else use my username after I delete my account?

No, Poshmark reserves deleted usernames and does not allow new accounts to use them. This prevents impersonation and confusion.

How long does account deletion actually take?

The support response takes two to three business days, and the actual deletion typically completes within a week after you confirm. In some cases it may take longer, but Poshmark will not restore the account once the process is complete.
