What it is

When you post photos, descriptions, or other content on Poshmark, you give Poshmark a permanent, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, copy, modify, and display that content for any purpose.

Why it matters

Users may not realize that original photos they take of their items — or other creative content they post — can be used by Poshmark for advertising and other commercial purposes without additional compensation.

Institutional analysis (Compliance & legal intelligence)

The breadth of the IP license grant — royalty-free, sublicensable, perpetual, and worldwide — raises intellectual property due diligence considerations, particularly for business sellers who may post proprietary brand assets or photography.

Consumer impact

Poshmark users — especially sellers — are subject to a 20% commission fee on transactions over $15 and grant Poshmark a broad, royalty-free license to use their posted content. A mandatory arbitration clause with a class action waiver significantly limits users' ability to seek legal redress through courts, which is a material restriction on consumer rights. You can opt out of the arbitration clause by sending written notice to Poshmark within 30 days of first accepting the Terms of Service.
