Poshmark updated its Prohibited Items Policy from Version 3.2 to Version 4.0, effective May 26, 2026. The updated policy adds detailed guidance on restricted items (electronics, makeup, mystery boxes, socks and underwear) that must meet specific conditions, and expands the list of prohibited items including counterfeit products, nudity, hateful content, and other categories. The policy now explicitly reserves the right to remove items, restrict or suspend accounts, withhold payment, and dispose of prohibited items sent to Posh Authenticate centers, with enforcement applied at Poshmark's sole discretion.
Sellers: If you sell electronics, you must wipe them clean and log out of any accounts before sending them to buyers.
Sellers: You can only sell brand-new, unopened cosmetics and personal care products; used or opened items are not allowed.
Sellers: You cannot sell used socks or underwear; new items with tags are permitted only if they are clean and unused.
Sellers: If you sell mystery boxes, you must tell buyers what is inside, including the brand, size, and condition of each item.
Sellers: Poshmark can remove your listings, suspend your account, keep your payment, and destroy items without advance notice if they violate the policy.
Sellers: If you sell prohibited items, your account can be permanently closed and your payment can be withheld.
The updated policy establishes new restrictions on what sellers can list and expands Poshmark's enforcement authority. Sellers must now comply with detailed conditions for restricted items (electronics must be reset to factory settings; cosmetics must be new and factory-sealed; used socks and underwear are prohibited). The policy explicitly authorizes Poshmark to remove items, suspend or permanently restrict accounts, withhold payment, and dispose of prohibited items at its sole discretion. Sellers who list prohibited items risk immediate and permanent suspension. You can review the full policy to ensure your current and future listings comply with these restrictions.
→ Review your current Poshmark listings to ensure they comply with the new restrictions on electronics, cosmetics, mystery boxes, and undergarments.
→ Update your product sourcing and inventory procedures to comply with the new conditions (e.g., factory-sealed cosmetics, reset electronics).
→ Familiarize yourself with the enforcement procedures and account suspension policies to understand the consequences of non-compliance.
