Delete a listing in three steps
To delete a listing on Poshmark, open the app or website, go to your closet, tap or click the three dots next to the item you want to remove, and select "Delete listing." The item disappears from your shop immediately. You cannot undo this action, so make sure you want the listing gone before you confirm.
Deleting a listing is different from deactivating it. When you delete, the listing is completely removed and cannot be reactivated. If you think you might want to relist the same item later, deactivate it instead — that keeps the listing in your account but hides it from buyers.
Key Takeaways
- Deleted listings cannot be recovered, so confirm you want the item gone before you tap delete.
- Deactivating a listing hides it from buyers but keeps it in your account so you can reactivate it later.
- You can delete multiple listings at once by selecting them in your closet and using the bulk delete option.
- Deleting a listing does not refund any Poshmark fees you already paid for that item.
When to delete versus deactivate
Delete a listing if you no longer own the item, it sold elsewhere, or you never want to relist it. Deactivate a listing if you want to temporarily hide it — for example, if you are waiting for better selling season, the item needs cleaning, or you want to pause sales while you reorganize your shop.
Deactivating takes the same three steps: open your closet, tap the three dots, and select "Deactivate listing." The listing stays in your account under the "Inactive" tab. You can reactivate it anytime by going back to that tab and tapping "Activate."
How to delete multiple listings at once
If you want to remove several items, you can select them all and delete them together instead of one at a time. On the Poshmark app, go to your closet, tap "Edit" in the top right corner, then tap each listing you want to delete. A checkmark appears on each selected item.
Once you have selected all the listings you want to remove, tap "Delete" at the bottom of the screen. Poshmark will ask you to confirm. Tap "Delete" again, and all selected listings are removed at once. This is faster than deleting them individually, but remember that you cannot undo this action.
On the Poshmark website, the process is similar: go to your closet, click the checkbox next to each item you want to delete, then click the "Delete" button that appears. Confirm your choice, and the listings are removed.
What happens to your shop after you delete
Your shop rating and follower count do not change when you delete a listing. Buyers who already purchased from you can still see their order history and leave feedback, even if the item is no longer in your shop.
If a buyer left a review on a listing you delete, that review stays on your profile. The review is tied to your account, not to the individual listing. Deleting the listing does not remove the feedback.
Recovering a deleted listing
Poshmark does not restore deleted listings. Once you confirm the deletion, the listing is gone permanently. If you realize you made a mistake, you will have to create a new listing from scratch with new photos and description.
To avoid losing a listing by accident, take a screenshot or save the photos and description before you delete. That way, if you change your mind, you have the information ready to relist the item quickly.
Why you might not be able to delete a listing
If you cannot find the delete option, the listing may be part of an active sale or dispute. Poshmark does not let you delete listings that are currently being purchased or that have an open case with a buyer. Wait until the transaction is complete before you try to delete.
If the listing is not in an active sale and you still cannot delete it, try logging out and back in, or close the app completely and reopen it. Sometimes the app needs to refresh. If the problem continues, contact Poshmark support through the app by tapping your profile, then "Help," then "Contact Us."
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I delete a listing if someone is interested in it?
Yes. Deleting a listing removes it from the shop, but it does not cancel any active offers or purchases. If someone has made an offer that you have not accepted or declined, deleting the listing will reject that offer automatically.
Do I lose money when I delete a listing?
No. Poshmark does not charge a fee to delete a listing. However, if you already paid a listing fee (Poshmark charges a small fee for some promoted listings), that fee is not refunded. Deleting the listing does not get that money back.
What is the difference between deleting and marking as sold?
Marking an item as sold keeps the listing visible in your shop with a "Sold" label, so buyers can see what you have sold before. Deleting removes the listing completely. Use "Mark as Sold" if you want to keep a record; use delete if you want the listing gone.
Can I delete a listing on the Poshmark website instead of the app?
Yes. The steps are the same on both. Go to your closet, find the listing, click the three dots or menu icon, and select delete. The website version works the same way as the app.
What happens to my shop if I delete all my listings?
Your shop stays active, but it will be empty. You can still receive messages from followers and past buyers. Your profile, ratings, and follower count remain. You can start listing items again anytime.
