What Poshmark’s NEW Excessive Listing Removal Policy Means for Sellers
On May 1, 2025, a new “excessive listing removal” policy went into effect on Poshmark. According to Poshmark’s April 28, 2025 blog update, here’s what’s now allowed and what’s discouraged or prohibited under the new Excessive listing Removal policy:
Allowed
Refresh listings that haven’t sold in 60+ days (per Poshmark, the policy is about how often you revisit your listings, not how you do it).
Improve your refreshed listings. Add new photos, updated titles and descriptions.
Use in-app features to reach shoppers, such as Price Drop and Offer to Likers.
Remove listings that are no longer available. If the item becomes unavailable, you can delete it from Poshmark.
Continue using Copy Listing feature. Copy Listing can be used to create similar listings anytime or refresh existing listings after 60 days.
Not Allowed/Discouraged
Excessive deletion and relisting of the same items (removal and relisting in fewer than 60 days).
Behavior that circumvents fair discovery (any action intended to gain unfair search or marketing advantages).

What Poshers are Experiencing
Since this policy rolled out, many sellers have reported frustration and confusion—particularly around the vague term “excessive.” What exactly does that mean?
According to follow-up clarification from Poshmark, “excessive” refers to deleting and relisting items that are less than 60 days old. In other words, if you’re relisting items before they hit the 60-day mark, you may receive a warning email, and repeated behavior could lead to a temporary suspension.
If you’ve been suspended, reach out to Poshmark support right away. Some sellers have successfully had their accounts reinstated after appealing the issue.
Best Practices Going Forward
Only relist items older than 60 days.
Take the opportunity to improve photos, titles and descriptions when refreshing.
Track listing dates to avoid issues.
Let’s be honest—this policy feels like a miss. Sellers are already navigating a 20% fee structure, and now we’re being penalized for managing our listings in a way that used to be standard practice. Hopefully, with enough feedback and respectful pushback from the community, Poshmark will reconsider or clarify the policy further. Stay informed, and don’t hesitate to advocate for your reseller business.
