Recent Activity

This document changed recently

Medium Jul 3, 2026

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.

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.
