Poshmark does not offer a permanent delete option — you can only deactivate

Poshmark does not have a button to permanently delete your account. Instead, the platform offers deactivation, which hides your profile, listings, and purchase history from other users. Your account data remains on Poshmark's servers, and you can reactivate by logging back in with your original email and password.

If you want your account completely gone from Poshmark's systems, you will need to contact their support team directly. Deactivation is the standard self-service option available to all users.

Key Takeaways

  • Deactivating your account hides your profile and listings but does not remove your data from Poshmark's servers.
  • You can deactivate through the app or website by going to Settings, then Account, then scrolling to find the deactivation option.
  • Reactivating is simple — just log in with your original email and password, and your account comes back online.
  • To request permanent deletion, you must contact Poshmark support through the Help Center and explain why you want your data removed.
  • Poshmark may take several weeks to respond to deletion requests, and they may ask follow-up questions about your account.

How to deactivate your account through the app

Open the Poshmark app and tap the profile icon in the bottom right corner. Tap the gear icon to open Settings. Scroll down and tap Account, then continue scrolling until you see the Deactivate Account option. Tap it, and Poshmark will ask you to confirm — tap Deactivate again to finish.

After deactivation, your profile picture, bio, and all listings disappear from search results and other users' views. Your purchase and sales history becomes invisible to the Poshmark community. You will receive a confirmation email from Poshmark.

How to deactivate your account on the website

Log into Poshmark on a computer or mobile browser. Click or tap your profile icon in the top right corner, then select Settings. Click Account in the left menu. Scroll down the Account page until you find the Deactivate Account section, then click the Deactivate button. Confirm your choice when prompted.

The website version works the same way as the app — your account goes offline immediately, but the data stays with Poshmark. You can log back in anytime to reactivate.

What happens to your listings and sales history after deactivation

Any active listings you posted are removed from the marketplace and no longer visible to buyers. If you have pending sales or open conversations with buyers, those transactions do not automatically cancel — Poshmark recommends completing any active sales before you deactivate.

Your sales and purchase history remains tied to your account but is hidden from public view. If you reactivate, your history comes back with you. Buyers and sellers who previously interacted with you will not see your profile or past transactions while your account is deactivated.

How to request permanent deletion from Poshmark

Go to the Poshmark Help Center on the website or in the app. Search for "delete account" or "data deletion." Select the article about account deletion, and look for a link to contact support. Explain that you want your account and all associated data permanently removed from Poshmark's systems.

Poshmark support will likely ask you to confirm your identity and may request details about your account, such as your email address or username. They may also ask why you want your data deleted. Respond to their questions, and they will process your request. Permanent deletion can take several weeks.

Keep in mind that Poshmark may retain some data for legal or business reasons, even after deletion — this is standard practice for most online platforms. Once Poshmark confirms your deletion is complete, your account cannot be reactivated.

Reactivating a deactivated account

To bring your account back online, simply log into Poshmark using your original email address and password. Your profile, listings, and history will reappear exactly as they were before deactivation. There is no waiting period or additional step required.

If you have forgotten your password, use the "Forgot Password" link on the login screen to reset it. Once you log in successfully, your account is active again and visible to other users.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I delete my account if I have pending sales?

Poshmark recommends completing any active transactions before you deactivate. If you deactivate with pending sales, those buyers may not be able to reach you. If you have already deactivated and a buyer is trying to contact you, reactivate your account to complete the sale.

Will deactivating remove my reviews and ratings?

Your reviews and ratings remain on Poshmark's system but are hidden from public view while your account is deactivated. If you reactivate, they become visible again. If you request permanent deletion, Poshmark may remove them as part of the data deletion process.

How long does it take Poshmark to permanently delete my account?

Poshmark does not publish a specific timeline, but permanent deletion requests typically take two to four weeks. Support may contact you with follow-up questions, which can extend the process. Check your email regularly for responses from Poshmark support.

Can someone else use my email address after I delete my account?

After permanent deletion, Poshmark may eventually allow that email address to be used for a new account, but this typically takes some time. If you want to be certain, contact Poshmark support and ask when your email will be available for reuse.

What if I deactivate but then change my mind?

Deactivation is reversible — log back in with your email and password, and your account reactivates immediately with all your data intact. This works even if months have passed since deactivation. Permanent deletion is not reversible, so only request that if you are certain.
