You can delete your Poshmark account through the app or website, but the process is permanent and you cannot undo it
Deleting your Poshmark account removes your profile, listings, purchase history, and messages permanently. Poshmark does not offer a way to reactivate a deleted account or recover your data afterward. If you have active listings or pending transactions, you should cancel or complete them before you delete, since the account deletion will affect any open sales or purchases.
The deletion process takes a few minutes and requires you to confirm your choice. Once you submit the deletion request, Poshmark typically processes it within a few days, though your profile may remain visible in search results or shared links for a short time after deletion.

How to delete your account through the Poshmark website
Log in to your Poshmark account at poshmark.com. Click your profile icon in the top right corner and select Account Settings. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click Delete Account.
A pop-up window will appear asking you to confirm the deletion. Click the checkbox next to "I understand this action cannot be undone" and then click Delete Account. Poshmark will send a confirmation email to verify that your account has been scheduled for deletion.
What happens to your listings and transactions when you delete
Any active listings you have posted will be removed immediately when your account is deleted. Buyers will no longer be able to see or purchase from your closet. If you have pending sales where payment has been received but the item has not shipped, those transactions may be affected, and the buyer may receive a notification that the seller account is no longer active.
If you have open purchases or items you are waiting to receive, those transactions will also be affected. The seller will see that your account is no longer active, which may complicate any disputes or returns. For this reason, it is best to complete or cancel all active transactions before you delete your account.
How to save your information before deleting
Poshmark does not offer an automatic way to download your account data, but you can take screenshots of your listings, reviews, and transaction history before you delete. Open each listing you want to keep a record of and take a screenshot, or use your browser's print function to save pages as PDFs.
If you have messages with buyers or sellers that contain important information, copy and paste them into a document or email them to yourself. Once your account is deleted, you will have no way to recover these conversations or any other account information.
Reasons to delete your account and alternatives
People delete their Poshmark accounts for different reasons: they no longer use the platform, they want to stop receiving notifications, they have privacy concerns, or they are switching to a different resale app. If you are mainly looking to stop notifications, you can turn off push notifications in your phone settings or in the Poshmark app without deleting your account.
If you want to stop selling but keep your purchase history and reviews, you can simply stop posting new listings and leave your account inactive. If you are concerned about privacy, you can review your account settings to limit who can see your profile or message you. Deleting your account is the only way to remove all your data from Poshmark's servers, but it is also the most drastic option.
What to do if you change your mind after deletion
Once your account is deleted, Poshmark cannot restore it. You cannot reactivate a deleted account or recover your listings, messages, or transaction history. If you want to use Poshmark again, you will need to create a new account with a different email address or username.
If you deleted your account by mistake and need to act quickly, contact Poshmark Support through the Help section on their website or app. Explain that you deleted your account accidentally and ask if they can cancel the deletion before it is processed. Poshmark may be able to stop the deletion if you reach out within a short time window, but this is not may provide.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I delete my Poshmark account if I have pending sales?
You can delete your account at any time, but it is not recommended if you have pending sales. When you delete, active listings are removed and buyers may not receive their items. It is better to complete or cancel all transactions first, then delete your account.
Will Poshmark delete my account immediately or does it take time?

Can I use the same email address to create a new Poshmark account after deletion?
You may be able to use the same email address to create a new account after your old account is fully deleted, but Poshmark's policies on this can vary.
