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.

The policy explicitly reserves the right to dispose or destroy prohibited items sent to authentication centers.

"It is the User's sole responsibility to update payment Account Information to receive any redeemable funds. After a period of statutory required account dormancy, Poshmark will escheat any unclaimed funds to the relevant government authorities as necessary and may charge a dormancy fee when such a fee is allowed by applicable rules and regulations.Excerpt from Poshmark's Privacy Policy
1. REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Escheatment of unclaimed funds is governed by state unclaimed property laws, which vary in their dormancy periods, notice requirements, and permissible dormancy fees. The relevant enforcement authorities are state treasurers and unclaimed property administrators. Some states impose specific notice obligations before escheating consumer funds. 2. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The dormancy fee, where assessed, reduces the amount eventually remitted to government authorities or reclaimed by the user. The provision places the responsibility for maintaining current payment information solely on the user, without specifying what notice, if any, Poshmark provides before escheating funds. 3. JURISDICTION FLAGS: Dormancy periods and permissible fees vary by state. California, New York, and other states with large user populations have specific unclaimed property law requirements that Poshmark must satisfy. Users in states with shorter dormancy periods face earlier escheatment timelines. 4. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: High-volume sellers with accumulated earnings should ensure payment account information is current to avoid escheatment. Business accounts operating in multiple states should be aware of varying dormancy rules. 5. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams should confirm that Poshmark's escheatment practices, dormancy fee assessments, and pre-escheatment notice procedures comply with applicable state unclaimed property law in all jurisdictions where it operates.
