How to relist on Poshmark

If you know how to relist on Poshmark, you can improve stale items’ visibility and attract more buyers. When a Poshmark listing is 60+ days old, delete and repost it to refresh the listing date and improve search visibility. Before relisting, update the photos, keywords, and price to better attract active buyers.

Here’s my 4-step process for relisting old inventory on Poshmark.

What relisting means on Poshmark (and why sellers do it)

Relisting on Poshmark typically involves delisting an existing item and creating a new one for that exact item. This action resets the item’s timestamp, making it appear “new” to the algorithm. 

When you relist an item, the freshness boost helps it appear higher in relevant searches, “Just In” filters, and buyer feeds. However, the item’s exact appearance in search results will vary based on keyword competition, pricing, and user engagement. 

Step 1: Decide whether an item is worth relisting

Focus on items that have received very few likes and no offers for at least 8 weeks. We’ll discuss reasons for this timeline in Step 2 below. 

Consider relisting items that had strong early engagement but later flatlined in likes, offers, or views.

Seasonal items are also strong candidates for relisting when demand spikes. For example, bringing those puffy jackets, beanies, and scarves in early fall so they reach shoppers actively searching for cold‑weather gear.

Step 2: Check Poshmark’s relisting rules and limits

Poshmark’s current policies discourage excessive relisting of the same item within 60 days. The platform provides a “Copy Listing” feature to help you refresh older listings, typically those 60+ days old, without using aggressive delete-and-relist cycles. 

Nifty, a crosslisting and Poshmark automation tool, can automatically relist stale items according to a custom schedule you set. The tool also enforces Poshmark’s excessive listing rules.  

The platform may treat excessive or bulk removal and relisting of the same items, especially when it resembles spammy activity, as an attempt to manipulate search and discovery. As a result, you may land in what many resellers call Poshmark Jail, a temporary restriction that reduces your visibility and may limit actions like sharing and, in some cases, listing new items.

Your debt to Poshmark society can last from a few hours to several days, according to Poshmark ex-jailbirds. 

Step 3: Delete the old listing and prepare for relisting

Before delisting or using any refresh method, spend a few minutes getting the listing ready to come back stronger. Keep the original listing photos and text in a file so you can see the improvements.

Then, navigate to your Poshmark account and follow these relisting pointers so your new listings have a higher chance of selling:

• Refresh photos and cover image: Replace the cover photo with a more eye-catching one, retake pictures in better lighting, and use a photo-editing tool with background removal, such as Nifty’s photo editor. Upload up to 16 high-quality photos and 1 video.
• Rewrite title and description: Completely rewrite your title and description using clear, specific keywords. Include brand, style, size, fit, and trends that match how buyers search. Highlight the key features you underplayed the first time.
• Adjust your listing price: Consider tweaking your price so the relisted item tests a more compelling price point and stands out from earlier versions instead of looking identical.

For instance, if you’re selling Levi’s jeans, write a title that clearly communicates the style and “Levi’s 501 Mens Jeans Vintage Y2K Size 34.” Be sure to add the condition, like new with tags or excellent used condition. 

Don’t want to write your description by hand? Use Nifty’s AI listing generator to spin up SEO-optimized titles and descriptions from up to 8 photos, saving significant time.

Step 4: Relist and optimize

After relisting, share the update with your followers to bring it to the attention of active shoppers. Offer the listing to followers who’ve purchased similar items and folks who like your listings. Consider sending private discounts to the first few likers to encourage quick sales. 

Track performance over the first 48 hours. If your listing gets more likes in two days than the old version did in two weeks, that’s a strong sign the refresh helped. 

Share the item a few times per day during peak browsing hours and on Posh livestreams to boost visibility while engagement is fresh. Use a tool like Nifty that sets daily limits to 8,000 shares, so you don’t land in Poshmark Jail.

How to sell items faster so you don’t have to relist as often

Relisting works, but preventing stale listings in the first place saves time and builds sales momentum. Follow these strategies to help items sell faster:

1. Share listings multiple times daily: Poshmark favors freshly shared items in “Just Shared” views and feeds, so sharing your listings several times per day helps keep your inventory in front of active shoppers, as long as you avoid spammy, bot‑like sharing. 
2. Price competitively from the start: Research similar sold listings and aim to price near recent sale ranges, adjusting for condition and demand, so your item looks competitive right away and can start collecting likes and offers quickly.
3. Send offers to likers promptly: When shoppers like an item, send a private offer relatively soon. You can use the “Offers to Likers” feature, which requires a 10% discount off your current price, but Poshmark will automatically offer it to everyone who has liked that listing.

FAQs

1. What does relisting mean on Poshmark?

Relisting on Poshmark means deleting an existing listing and creating a new post for the same item. You’ll use updated photos, a revised title and description, and, often, a new price. This resets the item's timestamp, making it appear fresh in search results and “Just In” feeds. Relisting helps stale items regain visibility by signaling to the algorithm that the listing is new. 

2. How often should you relist on Poshmark?

You should relist the same item on Poshmark no more than once every 60 days to avoid violating the platform's spam policies. Poshmark discourages excessive relisting within short timeframes, which can trigger account restrictions. Focus on relisting items that have been inactive for at least 8 weeks and have minimal engagement. 

3. What’s the difference between sharing and relisting on Poshmark?

Sharing on Poshmark bumps an existing listing to the top of followers’ feeds and “Just Shared” views without creating a new listing. Relisting, by contrast, creates a new listing for the same item with a fresh timestamp, so it behaves like a new post. Sharing is a quick daily activity to keep items circulating. Relisting is a more strategic refresh for stale inventory.

4. Can I just swap out photos and edit my description instead of relisting on Poshmark?

Yes, you can swap photos and revise your title or description without creating a new listing. This won’t give it a fresh timestamp, but stronger visuals and keywords can still help. For listings that remain stale for weeks, many sellers prefer to relist with upgraded photos, a better title, and new pricing to revive visibility.
