Poshmark has introduced a rule discouraging excessive deletion and relisting of the same items within 60 days. The goal is to prevent sellers from manipulating search visibility by continuously refreshing their listings through frequent relisting. While this change aims to make the marketplace fairer and more engaging, some sellers worry about unintended consequences, such as reduced exposure for older listings.
How to Avoid Issues and Stay Compliant
To continue selling successfully on Poshmark while avoiding penalties, follow these best practices:
1. Be Mindful of Relisting Frequency
- Avoid deleting and relisting an item before 60 days have passed.
- If an item remains unsold, improve the listing instead of removing and reposting it.
- Consider gradual closet refreshes rather than making bulk changes at once.
2. Use Alternative Strategies to Boost Visibility
- Update photos, titles, and descriptions to make your listings more attractive.
- Utilize Smart List AI to optimize your listings for better engagement.
- Apply the Price Drop feature or send Offers to Likers to drive sales.
- Share listings regularly to keep them circulating in Poshmark’s feed.

3. Avoid Automated Listing Removal Tools
- If you’re using third-party automation to delete and relist items, reconsider these tools to prevent violations.
- Always manually review listings before making significant changes.
- Double-check which listings might trigger Poshmark’s detection system under the new policy.
4. Improve Listing Quality Instead of Reposting
Instead of frequently relisting, focus on:
- Refreshing descriptions to include relevant keywords and trending styles.
- Enhancing photography with better lighting and angles.
- Bundling items to create curated deals that attract buyers.
- Engaging with buyers by responding to comments and sending personalized discounts

What Happens If You Violate the Policy?
Poshmark has already started enforcing the rule, and sellers who delete and relist excessively could receive warnings or temporary suspensions. Some sellers reported penalties even for actions taken before May 1, 2025, highlighting potential inconsistencies in enforcement. To avoid complications:
- Keep a record of any listings removed before the policy took effect.
- Monitor your seller dashboard for updates or warnings from Poshmark.
- Reach out to customer support if you believe your listings were flagged incorrectly.
Final Thoughts
While this policy requires adjustments, it presents an opportunity for sellers to focus on listing quality rather than just visibility tactics. By following best practices, sellers can continue to grow their business without falling into excessive relisting habits.
