If you’re using Poshmark to buy or sell fashion items, you might eventually feel the need to update your profile or make a fresh start by changing your username. Whether you’re rebranding, choosing a more memorable handle, or simply correcting a typo, updating your username on Poshmark is an easy process. In this blog post, we’ll walk you through exactly how to change your username on Poshmark.

Before we dive into the “how,” let’s explore a few reasons why you might want to change your Poshmark username:

• Rebranding: Maybe you’ve grown your Poshmark closet and want your username to reflect your brand or niche more clearly.

• Personal Preference: Perhaps you’ve realized your username isn’t as catchy or memorable as you’d like it to be.

• Privacy: Sometimes, people choose to update their username to maintain a level of privacy or keep their profile more professional.

• Typo or Error: It happens! Maybe your original username had a typo that you now want to correct.

No matter your reason, Poshmark allows you to update your username without much hassle.

Now, let’s walk through the process of changing your username on Poshmark.

Step 1: Open the Poshmark App or Website

You can change your username from both the Poshmark app (available for iOS and Android) and the Poshmark website. Follow the steps below based on your preferred platform.

For the Poshmark App:

• Launch the Poshmark app on your mobile device.

• Tap on the “Account” icon at the bottom-right corner of the screen (this looks like a little person’s head and shoulders).

For the Poshmark Website:

• Go to the Poshmark website.

• Log in to your account if you haven’t already.

• Click on your profile icon in the top-right corner.

Step 2: Go to Your Profile Settings

For the Poshmark App:

• Once you’re on your profile page, tap the “Profile” icon in the top-left corner (your profile picture).

• Scroll down and tap “My Seller Tools” or simply tap “Edit Profile”.

For the Poshmark Website:

• On the desktop, after logging in, click on your profile picture (top-right corner).

• From the dropdown menu, click “My Profile” or “Edit Profile”.

Step 3: Edit Your Username

For the Poshmark App:

• In the Edit Profile section, look for the “Username” field.

• Tap on the field to edit your username.

• Choose your new username carefully — make sure it’s unique and reflects your Poshmark presence. Poshmark doesn’t allow duplicates, so if the username you want is taken, you’ll have to come up with a new variation.

For the Poshmark Website:

• On the Edit Profile page, find the “Username” section.

• Click on the pencil icon next to your current username.

• Enter your desired new username in the field.

• As with the app, ensure your new username is unique and available.

Step 4: Save Your Changes

Once you’ve entered your new username, it’s important to save your changes to ensure the update goes through.

For the Poshmark App:

• After entering the new username, tap the “Save” button in the top-right corner.

For the Poshmark Website:

• After entering your new username, scroll down and click “Save Changes” at the bottom of the page.

Before you hit that “Save” button, there are a few things to keep in mind:

1. Username Availability

Poshmark usernames must be unique. If the username you want is already taken, you’ll need to try another one. You can use numbers or additional characters to modify your choice until it’s available.

2. Username Changes Are Limited

Poshmark allows you to change your username, but you can only change it once every 30 days. So, be sure to pick a username you’re happy with before making the change. Once you update it, you’ll have to wait a month before making any further changes.

3. Impact on Your Closet

Your username is part of your Poshmark URL (the web address for your closet), so changing your username will also change the URL of your closet. This means any existing links you’ve shared for your closet (like in social media posts, emails, etc.) will no longer work.

If you’ve been promoting your closet elsewhere, it’s a good idea to update those links to reflect your new username.

4. Search and Branding Considerations

When you change your username, it may take a little time for people to find your closet again, especially if they’re searching by your old username. Make sure to let your followers know about the change, whether via a post in your closet, social media updates, or a bio description.

5. Maintain Professionalism

When selecting a new username, especially if you’re running a business on Poshmark, consider choosing something that reflects your brand and is easy to remember. Keep it professional and straightforward, so potential buyers can easily find you.

Changing your username on Poshmark is a quick and simple process. Whether you’re rebranding or just looking for a fresh start, it’s an easy way to update your profile. Remember to choose a username that’s memorable, reflects your style or business, and is unique enough to stand out.

Just be sure to let your followers know about the change, and make sure you’re happy with your new choice since you can only change it once every 30 days.
