Poshmark maintains a list of items and transaction types that are not permitted on the platform — selling prohibited items can result in immediate account suspension and potential forfeiture of proceeds.
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
This provision creates enforceable content standards for the platform by delegating specific prohibited categories to an incorporated policy document. It establishes the mechanism through which Poshmark can remove listings and enforce compliance with legal and intellectual property requirements.
Poshmark's Terms of Service underwent a substantial update on April 19, 2026, with 249 new sentences and 3 modified sentences. The specific operational changes created by these additions cannot be determined from the detection summary alone. All users should review the updated terms at Poshmark's website to identify any new policies, requirements, restrictions, or disclosures that affect their use of the platform.
View change record →Poshmark's updated Privacy Policy provides substantially more transparency about the personal data it collects (including name, address, payment details, and content you create), how it uses and shares that information, and the legal bases for processing. The policy now explicitly covers data collected across websites, mobile apps, and other platforms, and identifies collection points including account registration, purchases, listings, stories, and interactions with other users. California residents are directed to a separate supplemental privacy notice. While this change increases clarity about data practices rather than restricting new data collection, reviewing the specific uses and sharing practices described in the full policy can help you understand what data Poshmark retains and how it may be used.
View change record →Both sellers and buyers face risk from prohibited transactions — sellers may lose their account and pending proceeds, while buyers who purchase items that are later found to be prohibited may face complications in obtaining refunds or recourse through the platform.

"Poshmark prohibits the listing or sale of any item that is described in our Prohibited Items Policy (which is incorporated by reference into this Agreement), including items that are illegal to sell or violate the rights of third parties such as counterfeit items.— Excerpt from Poshmark's Poshmark Terms of Service
(1) REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: The prohibition on counterfeit goods engages the Lanham Act (15 U.S.C. §1114) and the Trademark Counterfeiting Act (18 U.S.C. §2320). Sale of regulated items (e.g., certain cosmetics, firearms accessories, or recalled products) may implicate CPSC regulations (15 U.S.C. §2064), FDA regulations, or ATF rules depending on the product category. The FTC Act Section 5 applies to deceptive product listings. The Stop Counterfeits in Products Act and SHOP SAFE Act (proposed) create additional civil liability exposure for online marketplace operators. The FTC and DOJ are relevant enforcement authorities.
