You can change your Poshmark username once every 30 days through your account settings
Poshmark lets you change the username you use to log in and the display name that appears on your profile. These are two separate things. Your login username can be changed once per 30-day period, while your display name (the name other users see) can be changed more often. Both changes happen in the same place: your account settings on the Poshmark app or website.
The process takes less than a minute. You do not need to contact Poshmark support unless you have forgotten your password or cannot access your account. If you are changing your username because you want a fresh start or are concerned about privacy, understand that your old listings, reviews, and sales history stay attached to your new username — there is no way to separate them.
Key Takeaways
- Log in to Poshmark, go to your profile, tap the settings icon, and select "Username" to change your login username once every 30 days.
- Your display name (what other users see) is separate from your login username and can be changed more frequently through the same settings menu.
- Changing your username does not hide your past listings, sales, or reviews — they remain visible under your new username.
- If you have a reserved or banned username, you will not be able to use it again even after 30 days have passed.
How to change your login username on the Poshmark app
Open the Poshmark app and tap the profile icon at the bottom right of the screen. This takes you to your profile page. Look for a settings icon — it usually appears as a gear or three horizontal lines — and tap it to open your account settings.
Scroll down until you see the "Username" option. Tap it to open the username change screen. Enter your new username in the text field. Poshmark will tell you immediately if the username is already taken or if it contains characters that are not allowed. Usernames can include letters, numbers, periods, hyphens, and underscores, but not spaces or special characters like @ or #. Once you have entered a username that is available, tap "Save" or "Confirm" to complete the change.
After you change your username, you will need to log out and log back in using your new username. Keep your new username somewhere safe — you will need it the next time you open the app.
How to change your login username on the Poshmark website
Go to poshmark.com and log in with your current username and password. Click on your profile icon in the top right corner and select "Settings" from the dropdown menu. On the settings page, look for the "Username" field under your account information.
Click on the username field to edit it. Enter your new username and check that it is available — Poshmark will show an error message if someone else has already taken it. Once you have chosen an available username, click "Save" to confirm the change. You will be logged out automatically and will need to log back in with your new username.
The difference between your username and your display name
Your login username is what you type into the password field when you open Poshmark. This is the username that is tied to your account and your password. You can change it once every 30 days.
Your display name is what other Poshmark users see when they visit your profile or look at your listings. You can change your display name more often than your login username — there is no 30-day waiting period. To change your display name, go to your profile settings and look for "Display Name" or "Name" instead of "Username." Enter the name you want other users to see and save the change.
Some sellers change their display name frequently for marketing reasons — for example, adding seasonal words or sale announcements — while keeping their login username the same. Other sellers keep both the same for consistency.
What happens to your listings and reviews when you change your username
All of your past listings, sales history, and reviews remain attached to your account under your new username. Buyers who purchased from you in the past will see your new username when they look at their order history or leave feedback. Your shop rating and follower count do not change.
If you are changing your username because you want to distance yourself from old listings or negative reviews, changing your username will not accomplish that. Your sales history is permanent and visible to anyone who visits your profile. The only way to remove a listing is to delete it manually, and the only way to address a negative review is to respond to it or contact Poshmark support if the review violates their policies.
Troubleshooting: username errors and the 30-day waiting period
If you see a message that says "You can change your username again in X days," you have already changed your username within the last 30 days. Poshmark enforces a strict 30-day waiting period between username changes. There is no way to change it sooner, even if you contact support.
If the username you want is taken, try adding numbers or a period to make it unique — for example, "jane.smith" instead of "janesmith." If you see an error message about invalid characters, remove any spaces, @, #, $, or other special characters. Poshmark only allows letters, numbers, periods, hyphens, and underscores.
If you have forgotten your current username, go to the Poshmark login page and click "Forgot password?" You will be asked to enter the email address associated with your account. Poshmark will send you a password reset link, and once you reset your password, you can log in and view your username in your account settings.
Privacy and security considerations when choosing a new username
When you choose a new username, avoid using personal information like your full name, birth year, or location. Usernames are public — anyone on Poshmark can see them. If you use your real name or initials plus a birth year, you are making it easier for someone to identify you offline or connect your Poshmark account to other accounts you use online.
If you are concerned about privacy, choose a username that does not reveal your identity. A random combination of words or numbers is safer than something tied to your real name or personal details. Remember that changing your username does not make your past listings or reviews private — they are still visible to anyone who searches for items you have sold.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I change my username more than once every 30 days?
No. Poshmark enforces a 30-day waiting period between username changes. You must wait the full 30 days before you can change it again, even if you contact support. Plan your username change carefully if you think you might want to change it again soon.
What if someone else takes the username I want after I change mine?
Once you change your username, your old username becomes available for someone else to use. If you think you might want to use that old username again, you will need to wait until it is available and then change back to it. There is no way to reserve a username or prevent others from using it.
Will my followers see my new username?
Yes. Your followers will see your new username on your profile and in notifications. They do not need to do anything — they are still following you. Your follower count does not change when you update your username.
Can I change my username if my account is suspended or restricted?
If your account is suspended, you will not be able to log in or change your username. If your account is restricted but still active, you should be able to change your username through settings. If you cannot access your account, contact Poshmark support with details about your situation.
Does changing my username affect my payment information or shipping address?
No. Your payment methods, shipping address, and all other account information remain the same when you change your username. Only your login username and display name change.
