Why it matters

Sellers who unknowingly list prohibited items (such as certain counterfeit goods, hazardous materials, or regulated items) face account termination and possible financial penalties, and buyers may receive no recourse for prohibited transactions.

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.
