To cancel your FeetFinder seller account, withdraw any earnings above the $30 payout minimum, then go to your Profile tab and click the Delete button. That’s the whole technical process. The steps worth slowing down for are the ones around it: getting your money out, understanding what fees you won’t recover, and preserving records you’ll still need at tax time.
Withdraw Your Earnings First
FeetFinder holds your earnings until you request a payout, and the minimum withdrawal is $30. Payouts run on a weekly cycle once you clear that floor. Delete the account with a balance under $30 and you’ll almost certainly lose it, because the platform can’t send money to an account that no longer exists.
There’s a longer-term risk buried in the seller agreement too. If FeetFinder can’t pay out your earnings for 12 months because your account information is inaccurate and the company can’t reach you, those earnings automatically become FeetFinder’s property.1FeetFinder. Seller Agreement Log in, confirm your payout details are correct, request the withdrawal, and wait for it to clear before you touch anything else.
Subscription Fees Are Not Refundable
FeetFinder charges sellers a recurring platform fee: $4.99 per month on the Basic plan or $14.99 per month on Premium, with annual options available. The platform also takes a 15% commission on Basic sales or 10% on Premium. When you cancel, none of these come back. The refund policy states that all payments are nonrefundable and earned on receipt.2FeetFinder. Refund Policy
The policy adds that FeetFinder “may approve a refund in the form of a credit on request if exceptional circumstances exist,” but the company makes no promise it will.2FeetFinder. Refund Policy If you just renewed for a full year, deleting tomorrow won’t get you a prorated refund. Time your cancellation close to the end of a billing cycle to get the most from what you’ve already paid.
How to Delete the Account
Per FeetFinder’s FAQ, you go to the Profile tab and click Delete.3FeetFinder. Frequently Asked Questions There is no hidden menu or multi-step deactivation sequence.
Before you click, do a few things:
- Download any photos or videos you uploaded. Once the account is gone, so is your gallery.
- Edit your profile to remove your bio, display name, and other identifying text. Deletion should take the profile out of public view, but clearing the fields first gives you an extra layer of control.
- Check the card tied to your account and confirm no recurring subscription charges are still active.
After you hit Delete, you’ll be logged out. FeetFinder does not send a confirmation email, so the redirect to the homepage or login screen is your signal that the request went through. If the Delete button doesn’t appear or something goes wrong, contact support at hello@feetfinder.com, which offers 24/7 assistance.3FeetFinder. Frequently Asked Questions
Can You Reactivate Later?
FeetFinder does appear to allow reactivation requests for deleted accounts, but you’ll need to email support directly. If you’re unsure about leaving for good, that option exists, though it isn’t a guaranteed safety net. Contact hello@feetfinder.com and explain the situation if you change your mind.4FeetFinder.

What Stays Behind After Deletion
Your seller profile becomes invisible to other users and search engines once deleted, and any public links to your gallery stop working. Deletion doesn’t erase every trace though. Any platform that processes payments is subject to federal anti-money laundering and know-your-customer rules, which means identity verification documents and transaction history don’t disappear the moment you click Delete. The seller agreement gives FeetFinder broad rights to retain data as needed for legal compliance.1FeetFinder. Seller Agreement Expect financial records and verification logs to remain in FeetFinder’s systems for several years after your public profile is gone.
Tax Obligations Don’t Go Away
Closing the account does not erase your tax obligations. Any income you earned on the platform is reportable to the IRS whether the account still exists or not.
The 1099-K Threshold
Under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, the IRS reverted the Form 1099-K reporting threshold to its pre-2021 level: third-party payment platforms are only required to send you a 1099-K if your gross payments exceeded $20,000 and you had more than 200 transactions in the calendar year.5Internal Revenue Service. IRS Issues FAQs on Form 1099-K Threshold Under the One, Big Beautiful Bill Both conditions must be met. Most casual sellers won’t cross that bar and may never receive a 1099-K.
Not receiving a form doesn’t make the income tax-free. Self-employment income is reportable on your return regardless, and the IRS cross-references payment processor data against filed returns.
Save Records Before You Delete
The IRS generally requires you to keep tax records for three years from the date you filed the return. That extends to six years if you underreported income by more than 25% of the gross income on your return, and there is no limit if you never filed or filed a fraudulent return.6Internal Revenue Service. How Long Should I Keep Records Before you delete, save screenshots of your earnings dashboard, payout confirmations, and any 1099 forms. Once the account is gone, retrieving that information becomes much harder.
Willfully failing to report income or filing a fraudulent return can result in IRS penalties ranging from fines to criminal prosecution.7Internal Revenue Service. Tax Crimes Handbook The amounts most sellers earn are unlikely to trigger a criminal investigation on their own, but unreported income can compound into a larger problem across multiple tax years if you ignore it.
