Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
What does Remove Inactive Listings do?
Remove Inactive Listings opens your Poshmark closet and runs the Poshmark Purger. It checks each inactive listing's days listed, likes, impressions, and buyer offers, and deletes the ones that match all your rules. It only removes inactive Poshmark listings.
Will Remove Inactive Listings delete my active listings?
No. Remove Inactive Listings only removes inactive Poshmark listings that match your rules. The tool that can delete active listings is the Closet Optimizer, so review its filters before you run it.
How do I set the Purger rules (Min days, Max likes, impressions, and buyer offers)?
After you start the tool, the Poshmark Purger window opens on your closet. Fill in Min days listed, Max likes, Max impressions, and Max buyer offers, then click Save. An inactive listing must be at least that old and at or under every Max you set.
What's the difference between blank and 0 in the Purger's Max fields?
Blank means "ignore this rule." 0 is a real rule meaning "none at all," so Max likes 0 only matches listings with no likes.
Why did the Purger say "No purge criteria set"?
You saved the Purger window with no rules, so the run was refused and nothing was deleted. Start again and set at least one rule, such as Min days listed.
Why is Min days listed 0 risky?
With Min days listed at 0, inactive listings that were just created or relisted can be deleted if they match your other rules. Relisting resets Days Listed to 0. Set it above 0 to protect new listings.
Are sold listings affected by Remove Inactive Listings?
No. Sold listings are always skipped. Multi-size listings where one size sold can't be deleted on Poshmark, so the Purger sets them to Not For Sale instead.
Can listings deleted by the Purger be recovered?
No. DropFlowLister can't bring back deleted listings, and the confirm box warns "This cannot be undone." Deleted Poshmark listings can't be restored.
How do I pause or stop a Purger run?
Use the PURGER panel in the bottom-right corner of your closet. Click ⏸ Pause to pause and ▶ Resume to continue, or ⏹ Stop to end the run.
Why is Remove Inactive Listings slow?
The Purger checks each listing's stats and then waits a random 8–15 seconds before the next one. This acts more like a person and is gentler on Poshmark.
What should I do if the Purger can't delete listings ("XSRF token not found")?
This means your Poshmark sign-in token wasn't found, so deletes fail and the Failed count rises. Stop the run, refresh your closet, make sure you're signed in to Poshmark, and start again.
