Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

The condition precedent status means arbitration cannot be initiated—and any premature filing may be procedurally barred—until the sixty-day negotiation period is completed.

The policy states that violations may result in account restrictions or termination at Poshmark's sole discretion. Sellers should review the full policy to understand all obligations.

The updated policy establishes specific conditions that sellers must meet when listing certain product categories. For cosmetics and personal care items, the terms now require items to be new, factory-sealed, alcohol-free, and unswaped, with aerosols and nail polish subject to shipping restrictions or prohibition. For electronics, sellers must reset devices to factory settings and sign out of personal accounts. For mystery boxes, sellers must disclose key details and provide accurate value assessments. Non-compliance may result in account suspension, payment withholding, or item destruction, which Poshmark reserves the right to execute at its sole discretion. You can report suspected policy violations directly through Poshmark's platform.
