Summary

This is Poshmark's terms of service agreement that governs the use of its platform for buying and selling secondhand clothing and goods. The agreement establishes a commission structure whereby Poshmark retains 20% of transaction proceeds on sales of $15 or more, and $2.95 on sales below that threshold. The agreement grants Poshmark a license to use user-generated content, including photographs and descriptions, for platform operations and business purposes.

Technical / Legal Breakdown

This document constitutes Poshmark's Terms of Service governing use of its peer-to-peer social commerce platform, establishing the contractual basis under which users buy, sell, and interact on the marketplace. The agreement states that users grant Poshmark a broad, royalty-free, sublicensable, transferable license to use, reproduce, modify, distribute, and display user-generated content, and the terms authorize Poshmark to collect a flat fee of $2.95 on sales under $15 and 20% on sales of $15 or more. The agreement includes a mandatory arbitration clause with a class action waiver, requiring individual binding arbitration for most disputes and providing a 30-day opt-out window from the date of account creation; these provisions limit users' access to courts and collective legal action, though enforceability of class action waivers varies by jurisdiction. The terms engage consumer protection frameworks including the FTC Act and California consumer protection law (CCPA for California residents), with additional exposure under state money transmission and marketplace facilitator regulations given Poshmark's role in processing payments and remitting sales proceeds. Compliance teams should note that the platform's user content license, combined with its role as an intermediary in financial transactions between private parties, creates layered obligations around payment processing, tax reporting, and data handling that may require jurisdiction-specific evaluation.

What changed Poshmark published a substantially expanded Privacy Policy on March 25, 2026, replacing version 8.1 with version 8.2. The new policy adds 249 sentences detailing what personal data Poshmark collects (name, address, payment information, content you create), how it uses that data, how it shares information, storage practices, legal basis for processing, and user rights. The policy now includes a table of contents, scope statement, and explicit notification that California residents have a separate privacy notice.
Why this matters Poshmark's updated Privacy Policy provides substantially more transparency about the personal data it collects (including name, address, payment details, and content you create), how it uses and shares that information, and the legal bases for processing. The policy now explicitly covers data collected across websites, mobile apps, and other platforms, and identifies collection points including account registration, purchases, listings, stories, and interactions with other users. California residents are directed to a separate supplemental privacy notice. While this change increases clarity about data practices rather than restricting new data collection, reviewing the specific uses and sharing practices described in the full policy can help you understand what data Poshmark retains and how it may be used.
