Interpretive note: The excerpt references 'POSHMARK PARTIES' as the capped entity; the canonical claim names Poshmark to avoid inferring the full scope of that defined term without seeing its definition.
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.

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.
