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.
View change record →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.
