Summary

Poshmark's Terms of Service govern your use of their online marketplace for buying and selling secondhand clothing and goods. The single most important thing to know is that Poshmark takes a 20% commission on all sales over $15 (or a flat $2.95 fee on sales under $15), and by using the platform you permanently grant Poshmark the right to use, reproduce, and display anything you post — photos, listings, and comments. If you want to opt out of mandatory individual arbitration and preserve your right to sue in court, you must do so in writing within 30 days of first accepting these terms.

Technical Summary

This document is Poshmark's Terms of Service, governing use of the Poshmark peer-to-peer social commerce platform and establishing the legal relationship between Poshmark, Inc. and its users under California law with a binding arbitration clause. The most significant obligations include users granting Poshmark a broad, irrevocable, royalty-free license to use all user-generated content, compliance with Poshmark's seller policies including a 20% commission fee on sales over $15, and users agreeing not to circumvent the platform for direct transactions. Notable provisions include a mandatory individual arbitration clause with a class action and jury trial waiver, a shortened limitation period for claims, and Poshmark's explicit right to modify terms with continued use constituting acceptance — all of which deviate from baseline consumer-protective standards. The document engages the FTC Act Section 5 (unfair/deceptive practices), California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and California's consumer protection statutes (CLRA, UCL); compliance teams should note that the arbitration opt-out window, CCPA data subject rights mechanisms, and the breadth of the content license each require specific review. Material considerations include the platform's operation as a payment intermediary triggering potential money transmission compliance obligations, and the collection and broad use of user-generated data including purchase behavior and social interactions.

Consumer impact Poshmark's updated Privacy Policy now explicitly lists the types of personal data collected, including your name, address, phone number, email, social media accounts, payment and billing information, and activity data like listings, purchases, and interactions with other users.
