Summary

Poshmark's terms govern how your data is collected and shared, how disputes are resolved, and what happens if something goes wrong with a purchase. All purchases are final — you can only cancel within three hours of buying, and there are no general returns or refunds. If you have a dispute with Poshmark, you must resolve it through individual binding arbitration, not a lawsuit or class action, though you can opt out of arbitration by emailing legal@poshmark.com within thirty days of first accepting the agreement.

Analysis

Poshmark's Privacy Policy and related terms establish the conditions under which Poshmark collects, processes, retains, and shares user personal data — including face geometry data collected during photo-based identity verification — and discloses personal data to advertising services and marketing partners in exchange for monetary or non-monetary consideration. The document imposes binding arbitration at JAMS as the exclusive dispute resolution mechanism for all Claims, prohibits class actions and class arbitrations, and conditions arbitration initiation on a sixty-day good-faith negotiation period. All purchases are final except for a three-hour cancellation window or Poshmark-initiated cancellation, and Poshmark disclaims all warranties of any kind for the Service. Poshmark's total liability to any user is capped at the greater of seller fees paid in the six months prior to a claim or USD $100, with all indirect, consequential, and exemplary damages excluded.

What this means for you

As a user, you are subject to a no-returns, no-refunds policy with a narrow three-hour cancellation window, and your ability to recover damages from Poshmark is capped at the greater of seller fees you paid in the prior six months or USD $100. Poshmark may share your personal data — including face geometry data collected during identity verification — with advertising and marketing partners in exchange for consideration. If you want to preserve your right to sue in court rather than through binding arbitration, you must email legal@poshmark.com to opt out within thirty days of first accepting the agreement.

Why this matters The updated Seller Policy formalizes seller obligations regarding item descriptions, pricing, and order fulfillment. Sellers must provide accurate, complete descriptions with original photos, avoid photo editing that obscures condition, and price items realistically. The policy states that price gouging is prohibited and that once a buyer accepts a listed price, a binding transaction exists requiring the seller to provide the item at that price. The policy also establishes that policy violations may result in account restrictions up to and including termination at Poshmark's sole discretion.

What changed Poshmark substantially expanded its Prohibited Items Policy on May 27, 2026, adding 83 sentences of new guidance across restricted and prohibited categories. The previous version (3.2) provided basic categorical guidance; the updated version (4.0) now includes detailed conditions for restricted items like electronics, cosmetics, mystery boxes, and socks/underwear, along with explicit prohibitions on counterfeit goods, sexually explicit content, hateful content, and other illegal items. The policy also reserves explicit authority to remove listings, withhold payments, suspend accounts, and dispose of prohibited items sent to authentication centers.
Why this matters The updated policy establishes new restrictions on product categories previously allowed or unregulated, including prohibitions on used socks and underwear, mystery boxes with specific disclosure requirements, and strict conditions for cosmetics and electronics. Sellers who list prohibited items may face temporary or permanent account suspension, payment withholding, and item removal at Poshmark's discretion. The policy explicitly reserves the right to dispose or destroy prohibited items sent to authentication centers. You can report suspected violations to Poshmark, but enforcement decisions remain within the company's sole discretion.
