Have you ever looked at your Poshmark listing and seen a comment that just didn’t belong? I know that feeling of wanting a clean closet while staring at a lowball offer or spammy comment.
As a Poshmark seller, keeping your listings’ comment section clean is key to making sales. In this guide, I will show you exactly how you can delete comments on Poshmark.
Buyers also run into trouble when they make a typo or post a question on the wrong item. While Poshmark doesn’t have a simple “delete” button for your own words, I have found the best workarounds to remove those comments.
From flagging spam to relisting items, I will walk you through the steps to delete comments on Poshmark. So, let’s begin.
Can Other People See Your Comments on Poshmark?
It is a bit of a shock to many new Poshmark users, but yes, almost every comment you write on Poshmark is out in the open for the world to see.
I like to remind people that Poshmark is a social marketplace, which means it acts more like Instagram or Facebook than an online shop.
When you leave a comment on a Poshmark listing asking about measurements or the “lowest price,” that conversation stays stuck to the bottom of the listing for everyone to read.
Any other shopper who clicks on that item can scroll down and see exactly what you asked and how the seller replied.
The only way to have a truly 100% private conversation on Poshmark is to wait until after you have actually purchased the item.
Once the sale is made, a private “Message Seller” feature opens up that only you, the seller, and Poshmark support can see.
Can You Delete Your Own Comment on Poshmark?
If you have ever made a typo or accidentally posted a comment reply to the wrong person on Poshmark, you might be looking for a “delete” button next to your own comment.
Unfortunately, Poshmark does not currently allow users to directly delete their own comments once they are posted.
This can be incredibly frustrating when you realize you’ve shared too much information or just want to take back a hasty offer.
Unlike other marketplaces, your comments on Poshmark are “locked in” the moment you hit the “Post Comment” button.
However, if the comment is on your own listing, you do have one powerful workaround.
You can use the “Copy Listing” feature to create a fresh version of your listing, which will be completely free of all previous comments, and then simply delete the old listing.
If you commented on someone else’s listing, the situation is a bit tougher because you don’t control that page. Your best bet is to politely ask the seller to “flag” your comment as spam, which is the only way for them to make a comment disappear.
Because of this permanent nature, I always take an extra second to double-check my spelling and my tone before I comment. It’s much easier to catch a mistake before you hit send than it is to relist an entire item just to hide a small typo!

Why Delete Comments on Poshmark?
Spam and Self-Promotion Comments
Nothing clutters up a Poshmark listing faster than someone else trying to advertise their own closet or online shop.
I often see “closet raiders” who leave comments like “Check out my closet for similar styles!” or “I’m having a huge sale!” on my items.
Deleting these comments is important because they distract my buyers and pull traffic away from my listings toward my competitors’ listings.
Clearing Out Outdated Questions
Sometimes a listing on Poshmark sits for a few weeks, and the comments section gets filled with questions like “Is this still available?” or “Can you ship tomorrow?”
Once those moments have passed, the comments just become “dead weight” that a new buyer has to scroll through.
I like to keep my Poshmark listings “clean” so that the focus stays on the description and the photos, rather than a long chain of old comments.
Lowball Offers and Price History
The most common reason people delete comments on Poshmark is to get rid of public price negotiations that didn’t lead to a sale.
If a buyer leaves a comment asking “Will you take $10?” on a $50 item, it sets a low “anchor” price that might scare away full-price buyers.
By removing these comments, sellers keep the perceived value of their items high and encourage people to use the private “Make an Offer” button instead.
Rude or Negative Comments
Even in a friendly community like Poshmark, you will occasionally run into “trolls” or people who want to complain about your pricing or the brand itself.
Negative comments can plant seeds of doubt in a buyer’s mind, even if they aren’t true.
I find it’s best to flag these Poshmark comments as “offensive” or “harassment” to get them removed quickly so they don’t ruin the positive vibe of my closet.
“Email Me” and “Text Me” Comments
I am always on high alert for scammers who comment things like “Email me photos at this address” or “Text me for a quick payment.”
These are huge red flags designed to trick sellers into leaving the safety of Poshmark’s protection.
Deleting these comments immediately not only protects me but also protects any of my followers who might accidentally fall for the scam, thinking it’s a legit request.
How to Delete Comments on Poshmark?
If you have been looking for a “Delete” button next to a pestering comment, you have probably realized by now that Poshmark doesn’t make it quite that simple.
However, there is a “secret” way that most Poshmark sellers use to keep their listings tidy. Every comment has a small flag icon underneath it, and clicking that flag is your way to delete a comment.
When you tap that flag, Poshmark will ask you why you are reporting the comment. I almost always choose “Spam,” even if it’s just a rude remark or an old question, because this is the most effective way to trigger an automatic comment removal.
If you are a Posh Ambassador, you actually have a bit of extra “magic” here. For Posh Ambassadors, flagging a comment as spam often makes it disappear immediately from the listing without waiting for a manual review from the Poshmark support team.
If you aren’t a Posh Ambassador yet, don’t worry, the flagged comment will still be sent to the moderation team for review. It might take a little longer, but if the comment is clearly junk or off-topic, they are usually very good about scrubbing it.
