Poshmark’s New Listing Removal Policy: What It Means for Sellers and How to Adapt
Neek Zanfack
Starting May 1, 2025, Poshmark is enforcing a new policy to curb excessive listing removal and relisting. According to the platform, this move is meant to keep the marketplace fair and help shoppers discover new items more easily.
While the true intention behind the change isn’t entirely clear, don’t panic. It may actually be great news for sellers who focus on fresh inventory and authentic growth. With a few adjustments, you can stay compliant and keep thriving.
Here’s what you need to know, and how to adapt your selling strategy with help from Reeva.
What’s changing?
Poshmark’s new policy prohibits:
- Repeatedly removing and relisting the same items, especially in bulk.
- Any activity designed to game the system for search visibility or marketing advantages.
Sellers who don’t comply may face temporary restrictions on creating new listings.
How to stay compliant and keep growing
This change is real but manageable. Here are smart, safe strategies sellers can use going forward:
1. Avoid frequent and excessive delist-relist loops
If you’ve been deleting and recreating listings frequently to boost visibility, it’s time to rethink that approach. Poshmark is specifically watching for bulk or excessive repeated relisting of the same item.
Instead, try the strategies below to keep your closet active without risking penalties.
2. Update listings instead of excessive relisting
Don’t remove a listing just to get it noticed. Instead, improve what’s already there:
- Rewrite your title and description with better keywords.
- Swap in new or better photos.
- Revisit your pricing to stay competitive in the market.
These changes refresh your listing and trigger renewed visibility without removing it.
3. Add new listings regularly
Nothing beats fresh inventory. That’s still the best way to get discovered and drive sales.
With Reeva, listing new items is fast and seamless thanks to:
- AI-generated listings
- Bulk photo background removal
- Scheduled listings
- One-tap crosslisting to all major platforms
Set a goal for new listings each week and watch your momentum build.
4. List multi-quantity items and variants
If you’re selling multiples of the same item (like 10 white t-shirts in the same size), use a single multi-quantity listing instead of relisting the same listing over and over. It keeps your closet clean and compliant.
5. Don’t delist and relist your whole closet
Tempted to refresh everything at once? Don’t. Avoid delisting and relisting your entire closet—or 100+ items at the same time. It’s one of the clearest red flags under the new policy.
Instead, focus on gradual updates and adding new items week by week.
6. Keep sharing your listings
Excessive delisting and relisting may be flagged, but sharing isn’t going anywhere. Sharing still helps you get seen and Reeva makes it simple to share your own items on Poshmark or participate in community or party shares.
Is this good or bad?
The reality? We don’t totally know yet. Poshmark hasn’t shared exactly how they’ll enforce this policy or what behaviors trigger penalties.
But here’s what we do know:
- Sellers who focus on fresh inventory, smart updates, and good shopper experiences will be just fine.
- This might even benefit sellers who’ve felt buried by aggressive relisting tactics.
- You’ve adapted before to new changes and you will be okay.
