Poshmark is required to issue IRS Form 1099-K to sellers who meet applicable tax reporting thresholds, and sellers are responsible for reporting and paying taxes on their earnings.
Casual sellers who use Poshmark to clear out their closets may not realize their sales activity could trigger IRS reporting, creating potential tax obligations they hadn't anticipated.
Poshmark's 1099-K issuance obligations align with IRS third-party network reporting requirements. Compliance teams advising high-volume sellers should ensure proper tax accounting for gross sales receipts, including the gross amount before Poshmark's commission deduction, which is how 1099-K reporting typically works.

Poshmark users β especially sellers β 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.
