Mandatory Binding Arbitration & Class Action Waiver

Why it matters

This clause strips users of the right to sue Poshmark in court and prevents them from joining together with other harmed users in a class action, which is often the only practical way to pursue small or systemic claims.

Consumer impact

Poshmark's terms impose a 20% commission on all sales over $15 and grant the platform a permanent, irrevocable license to use seller-submitted photos and content for commercial purposes. Sellers and buyers are required to resolve all disputes through binding individual arbitration, waiving the right to participate in class action lawsuits, which significantly limits collective legal recourse in the event of systemic platform issues. 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.
  • Opt Out of Arbitration
    Within 30 days
    Within 30 days of first accepting Poshmark's Terms of Service, send a written notice stating your name, email address associated with your account, and that you opt out of the arbitration agreement. Send via certified mail to Poshmark's legal address.

Applicable agencies

  • FTC
    The FTC has enforcement authority over unfair or deceptive consumer contract terms under Section 5, including mandatory arbitration clauses in consumer marketplace agreements.
