Ready to move on from Poshmark—no more listing, no more late-night scrolling? This guide walks you through how to delete your Poshmark account cleanly, with zero loose ends. You’ll learn the exact steps on iPhone, Android, and desktop, what to do before you hit delete (balances, open orders, returns), how data deletion works, what happens to your closet afterward, plus quick fixes when the Delete button won’t cooperate. Calm, clear, and complete.
Before You Start: Prep Checklist (Do This First)
Deleting your account is easy when nothing is “in flight.” A few minutes of prep prevents errors and delays.
Resolve all transactions
- Ship any sold items and wait for delivery and acceptance.
- Complete or close returns and disputes.
- If you made offers or have pending bids, cancel or let them expire.
Withdraw your balance
- Open your balance and cash out to your bank or PayPal.
- If funds are “pending,” wait until they clear to “redeemable.”
Download what you need
- Save order receipts, shipping labels, conversations with buyers, and payout history (handy for taxes or warranties).
- Screenshot your closet stats if you want a personal record.
Turn off connected services
- Disconnect any third-party listing tools or analytics apps tied to your Poshmark login.
- Remove saved payment methods if you’re extra cautious.
When all that’s done, you’re green-lit to delete.
How to Delete Your Poshmark Account in the Mobile App
The app route is usually fastest and most reliable.
iPhone and Android steps
- Open the app and go to your Account tab (profile icon).
- Tap Poshmark Support Center.
- Choose Manage Account Status.
- Tap Delete My Account.
- Follow the on-screen verification (you may receive a code via email or text), then confirm.
What you should see
- A confirmation flow that explains what’s about to happen.
- A final prompt to verify and finalize deletion.
- After completion, you’ll be signed out and your closet will no longer be visible.
If Delete is greyed out
- You probably have an open order, return, dispute, or a positive balance.
- Finish those items, redeem your funds, force-quit and relaunch the app, then try again.
How to Delete Your Poshmark Account on the Web
Prefer a computer? The steps mirror the app.
Desktop steps
- Sign in at poshmark.com and open Account Settings.
- Click Manage Account Status.
- Select Delete My Account.
- Complete verification and confirm.
Pro tip
If you don’t see the option where you expect it, search for “Manage Account Status” within the settings pages or use the site’s help search to jump straight to the deletion flow.
What Deletion Actually Does (And What It Doesn’t)
What happens
- Your closet and listings are removed from public view.
- Buyers can’t follow or message you through the platform.
- Notifications and marketing messages stop after processing.
What doesn’t happen
- Deletion doesn’t retroactively affect completed transactions; receipts and shipping labels you downloaded remain yours offline.
- If any third-party tool stored your data separately, you’ll need to manage that tool directly.
Processing time
- Most account removals appear immediate, but cached search results or social shares may linger briefly. Check again after a little while, logged out or in a private window.
Privacy Option: Erase Your Data Without Logging In
If you no longer have access to the account (old email, lost password, or no device), you can submit a data-deletion request through Poshmark’s support portal. You’ll verify ownership via email and request erasure of personal data. Use this when you cannot sign in to delete from Manage Account Status. If you can sign in, the self-serve delete in settings is usually faster.
If You Can’t Log In to Delete
Try standard recovery
- Use the Forgot Password link to reset access via email or text.
- If you used Apple/Google sign-in, try that same method again.
No luck?
- Submit a data-deletion/erasure request and follow the verification steps they send to the email associated with the account.
- If your email provider changed, recover that email first (from the mail provider), then return to Poshmark.
Timing Your Delete: Sellers’ Special Considerations
Returns and disputes
- If a buyer is still in their return window, wait for the outcome to post so funds settle correctly.
Tax records
- Export last year’s sales summaries, fees, and 1099-K (if applicable) before you delete. You’ll thank yourself during tax season.
Outstanding labels or claims
- If a shipment is under investigation with the carrier, hold off. Once it resolves, withdraw any updated funds, then proceed.
Alternatives to Full Deletion (If You’re Not 100% Sure)
Unlist and pause
Remove all active listings. With notifications off, you get peace without losing history.
Privacy refresh
Change your handle, update profile info, and disconnect payment methods. You can step away without burning the bridge.
Notification detox
Turn off push and email notifications. Many users find the urge to scroll fades when the pings stop.
If you later decide to sell again, your closet is ready without starting from zero.
Troubleshooting: Common Roadblocks and Easy Fixes
“Delete My Account” button is disabled
- Check for open orders, unredeemed balance, or active returns.
- Resolve them, then force-quit and relaunch the app (or refresh the desktop page).
Verification code not arriving
- Check spam/junk, confirm the email/phone on file, and request the code again.
- Temporarily disable VPNs or private relay features that may delay email delivery.
I deleted, but my closet still shows up in search
- Cached pages stick around briefly. Try an incognito window, log out fully, or wait a short while for search indexes to refresh.
I can’t find Manage Account Status
- On mobile, it lives inside Account → Poshmark Support Center.
- On desktop, it’s in Account Settings. If you still can’t find it, use the site’s help search to jump to the deletion page.
I changed my mind after deleting
- Treat deletion as final. If you only want a break, consider the alternatives above next time (unlist + notifications off).
What to Do After Deleting (A Quick Wrap-Up List)
- Remove saved Poshmark passwords from your browser or password manager.
- If you cross-posted items on social media, update or remove those links.
- Keep your last confirmation email in a personal folder, just in case.
- If you used the same password elsewhere (not recommended), change it there, too.
A Calm, Done-in-Minutes Plan
- Resolve orders/returns and redeem your balance.
- Save your receipts and payout history you might need later.
- In the app: Account → Poshmark Support Center → Manage Account Status → Delete My Account.
On web: Account Settings → Manage Account Status → Delete My Account.
- Verify via code and confirm.
- Clear saved logins and move on with your day.
FAQs
Do I have to withdraw my earnings first?
Yes. If you have a redeemable balance or pending funds, deletion won’t proceed until they’re cleared or withdrawn.
Can support delete my account for me?
If you can log in, you’re expected to delete it yourself through Manage Account Status. If you can’t access the account, use a data-deletion request and complete ownership verification.
What disappears after deletion?
Your closet and listings are removed, your profile is no longer visible, and notifications stop. Completed transactions you already downloaded remain in your personal records.
Why can’t I click Delete?
There’s usually an open order, return, dispute or funds waiting in your balance. Finish those and try again.
I just want a break—not forever. What should I do?
Unlist items, turn off notifications, and step away. You can return later without rebuilding your closet from scratch.
