Mandatory Arbitration & Class Action Waiver

High severity
Share 𝕏 Share in Share

What it is

If you have a dispute with Poshmark, you must resolve it through individual arbitration — not through a lawsuit or class action. You give up your right to have a judge or jury hear your case.

Why it matters

This clause strips users of meaningful legal recourse by preventing class actions, which are often the only practical way to hold large companies accountable for small-dollar harms.

Institutional analysis (Compliance & legal intelligence)

The mandatory arbitration and class action waiver provisions are subject to increasing FTC and CFPB scrutiny and may face enforceability challenges in certain jurisdictions. Compliance teams should assess alignment with applicable state law limitations on arbitration clauses, particularly in California.

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.

What you can do

⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.
