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.

"Poshmark may investigate, take legal action, or perform any other action it deems necessary or warranted in managing the Service, Content, or Users, including termination of your Account and/or preservation of such information for investigative purposes. Enforcement of this Section 4 is solely at Poshmark's discretion, and failure to enforce this section in some instances does not constitute a waiver of our right to enforce it in other instances.Excerpt from Poshmark's Privacy Policy
1. REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Account termination provisions in consumer platform agreements are subject to review under the FTC Act's unfair or deceptive practices standards and state consumer protection statutes. Where account termination affects access to funds or pending transactions, additional regulatory frameworks, including state money transmission laws, may apply. 2. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The discretionary termination authority, combined with the right to preserve user data for investigative purposes, creates operational exposure for users with pending transactions, stored credits, or redeemable balances at the time of termination. 3. JURISDICTION FLAGS: California and other states may require notice and opportunity to cure before account termination in certain consumer contract contexts. EU consumer protection law may impose additional procedural requirements for account suspension or termination. 4. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Business accounts and high-volume sellers should assess the operational risk of account termination without advance notice, particularly given that Posh Credits and pending earnings may be affected by account suspension or termination. 5. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams should evaluate whether Poshmark's account termination and data preservation practices are consistent with applicable consumer protection, privacy, and money transmission requirements, and whether the absence of a specified appeal mechanism creates additional exposure.
