This provision establishes StockX's authority to offset seller payouts against amounts owed and to restrict payment settings changes, affecting the timing and availability of seller revenue on the platform. The term 'within a reasonable time' does not specify a fixed payment timeline.
The updated terms explicitly state that automated agents, bots, APIs, and AI-based tools accessing your account on your behalf are covered by the agreement, and you are responsible for all actions those tools take. Previously, the terms referenced electronic agents more generically. The revised language directly obligates account holders for automated activity, meaning if a buy-for-me agent, API, or bot violates platform rules through your account, you bear liability for that violation. The updated terms also remove country-specific overrides that previously applied in the UK, Italy, France, Germany, Japan, and South Korea, meaning the main terms now apply uniformly across those jurisdictions without regional exemptions.
View change record →Under these terms, StockX is authorized to deduct amounts owed from seller payouts rather than charging payment methods separately, and to restrict seller access to payment settings if payment collection fails. The payment timing is described as 'within a reasonable time' without a defined deadline.

"StockX will issue payment to Sellers within a reasonable time following completion of the sale. Applicable fees are disclosed when your Ask is established and in related notifications (including confirmation emails). StockX may collect amounts you owe by offsetting such amounts against your outgoing payouts. You may elect to have charges collected from a stored payment method designated as primary in your Wallet. You must maintain a valid payment method. If StockX is unable to collect payment from a stored payment method, StockX may re-enable collection of amounts owed by offsetting against your outgoing payouts and restrict future changes to your payment settings.Excerpt from StockX's Terms of Use
1. REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Payout withholding and offset mechanisms in marketplace contexts engage state payment and commercial law, including UCC provisions on setoff rights. Where sellers are individuals or small businesses, state wage and commercial payment timing laws may be relevant. The FTC's marketplace facilitator guidance may also apply depending on the volume and nature of transactions. 2. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: High for sellers relying on timely payouts. The combination of an indefinite 'reasonable time' payment standard with broad offset authority creates material cash flow exposure for sellers, particularly in the context of enforcement actions that can simultaneously withhold payouts. 3. JURISDICTION FLAGS: Some US states impose specific payment timing requirements on marketplace platforms or have consumer protection laws affecting offset rights against individual sellers. EU marketplace regulation may impose specific payment timing obligations on platforms facilitating sales for third-party sellers. 4. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Sellers using StockX as a revenue channel should assess the impact of payout offset and withholding authority on their financial planning. The restriction on payment settings changes when collection fails is an additional operational constraint that procurement teams and finance functions should note. 5. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams advising sellers on StockX should evaluate whether the 'reasonable time' payment standard satisfies applicable marketplace payment timing requirements, whether offset rights are disclosed with adequate specificity, and whether the restriction on payment settings changes is enforceable under applicable commercial law in relevant jurisdictions.
