Poshmark substantially expanded its Prohibited Items Policy, moving from a brief overview to a detailed 40-section framework that specifies what can and cannot be sold on its marketplace. The updated policy introduces explicit restrictions on counterfeit goods, sexually explicit content, hateful content, and hazardous items; establishes conditions for restricted categories like electronics, cosmetics, and mystery boxes; and reserves broad authority for Poshmark to remove items, cancel sales, withhold payment, and impose account restrictions up to permanent suspension. Sellers now bear explicit responsibility for ensuring compliance before listing items.
Sellers: You must check the policy and confirm your items are allowed before listing them.
Sellers: Electronics must be wiped clean and logged out of before you ship them.
Sellers: Cosmetics must be brand new and unopened to be sold.
Sellers: Mystery boxes require detailed disclosure of contents and honest value statements.
Sellers: Listings for intimate apparel cannot use sexualized language or images.
Sellers: You cannot use brand-inspired language or upload images you do not have rights to use.
Sellers: Poshmark can remove your items, cancel sales, hold your money, or ban your account if you violate the policy.
Sellers: Poshmark can destroy prohibited items you send to their authentication centers.
The updated policy establishes detailed restrictions on what can be bought and sold on Poshmark's marketplace, including prohibitions on counterfeit goods, sexually explicit content, hateful content, and hazardous items. Sellers must now verify item compliance before listing and bear responsibility for preventing prohibited items from appearing in the marketplace. The terms authorize Poshmark to remove items, cancel sales, withhold payment, and impose temporary or permanent account restrictions if prohibited items are listed or shipped. Buyers and sellers can report suspected violations for investigation.
