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.

This analysis describes what Poshmark's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology

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.
