What is Poshmark?
Poshmark is one of the top marketplaces for buying and selling fashion, accessories, beauty products, home decor, pet products and even electronics. It’s similar to sites like eBay and Mercari, but it specializes in clothing, shoes and accessories.
You can buy or sell new or used items, and there are no fees to list items. Poshmark makes its money by taking a cut of each sale.

When it comes to choosing a username, also called your closet name, on Poshmark, I have some helpful tips for you. First, I would brain dump all of your closet name ideas on paper, Google Doc or spreadsheet. That way, you can cross them off as you narrow your list down.
If you are planning to sell as a side hustle or as a potential full-time business, then consider your personal style and what you want your brand to represent, as your store is your brand (check out tips for using “price is firm” on your listings). Here are some other considerations.
- Is the name you want available?
- Try to avoid using terms that are highly used, like shop or Posh.
- Make sure to choose a name that will be relevant years down the road.
- Make it clear and simple so buyers can find you again.
- Don’t use too much of your personal information in your closet, like your full name, year of birth, physical address, etc. – online safety is critical.
- Make sure your username can’t be misconstrued as something else.
How to Change Your Username on Poshmark
Now we’re to the good part – how to change your name on Poshmark. First, you can only change your username through the web, so you must do it on your desktop, laptop or through the web browser on your tablet or smartphone.
You will need to change it through your account settings. Here are the steps:
- Sign into your account online using your password.
- Select Account Settings.
- On the left-hand side menu of the page, select Account Info.
- You’ll see Change beside the username. Select it to receive a verification code.
- Once you receive your verification code, enter it and click Done to gain access to change your username.
- Enter your new username.
- Select Done to save it.
- Contact Poshmark support if you are unable to access your account settings through the website.
Where Is Your Poshmark Username Located?
Your Poshmark username appears in multiple places. Most notably it’s the “@namehere” under you profile photo and at the top of your mobile screen in the app when you tap the profile icon in the bottom right (see photo below).
When you log in on a laptop or tablet, you’ll see your username at the top left of your closet’s profile. Again it’s “@namehere” and it is just below the Profile Name you choose – which is different than your username (see photo below).
Your username also shows up when you comment on listings and send messages (ship with free Priority Mailers from the post office.)
BONUS TIP: To change your profile name, which is structured as first and last name, go to your closet and tap “Edit Profile” at the top right under your current profile name. You can also tap the profile icon in the bottom right of the app and then tap “My Profile.” On your laptop, go to your closet and tap “Edit Profile” on the top right.
