What is "POSHMARK" on my bank statement?
POSHMARK is usually a legitimate charge from the Poshmark resale marketplace for clothing, shoes, and accessories.
Merchant: Poshmark | Category: Shopping
What Is This Charge?
A charge from Poshmark reflects a purchase on the Poshmark resale marketplace for clothing, shoes, handbags, jewelry, and accessories. Poshmark was founded in 2011, and it operates as an online marketplace rather than a traditional retail chain with physical store locations. The company is in the Shopping category, and most charges come from buyer purchases, shipping labels, or seller-related fees tied to a completed sale. A statement line with POSHMARK usually means the transaction was processed through Poshmark’s checkout system, not through a separate store cashier.
Why Does This Charge Appear on My Statement?
This charge appears when you buy an item in the Poshmark app or on Poshmark.com and the payment is authorized at checkout. It can also appear after you accept an offer, buy from a seller’s closet, or complete a bundle purchase with one combined payment. In some cases, the charge shows up when Poshmark places a temporary authorization hold before the final amount posts. If you sold an item, a related Poshmark entry can also appear for shipping, fees, or adjustments tied to the sale.
Typical Charge Amounts
Most Poshmark purchases are small to mid-sized retail charges, often between $10 and $80 for a single item. Higher-end items can post at $100, $250, $500, or more when the listing is for designer clothing, luxury shoes, or premium handbags. Poshmark buyer fees and shipping charges can add a few dollars to the final total, and the posted amount may be higher than the item price shown in the listing. Temporary card authorizations can appear for $1, $5, or the full order total before the final settlement posts.

Is This Charge Legitimate?
A legitimate Poshmark charge usually matches an order you placed in the Poshmark app or at https://poshmark.com. Check your Poshmark account order history, email receipts, and app notifications for the exact item, seller name, and payment date. If the charge is unfamiliar, compare the amount to recent offers, bundle purchases, or shipping labels that may have been purchased through your account. You can also contact Poshmark support through the Help Center at https://support.poshmark.com or by calling 888-767-0100.
How to Dispute or Cancel
1. Open the Poshmark app or sign in at https://poshmark.com and review the order, because many Poshmark sales are final once the item ships. 2. If the order has not shipped, contact the seller through the app and request cancellation immediately. 3. If the charge is unauthorized, contact Poshmark support at 888-767-0100 and report the transaction with the date, amount, and last four digits of the card. 4. File a dispute with your bank or card issuer at the same time if you do not recognize the charge, because the bank can start a card investigation while Poshmark reviews the order. 5. If the item arrived damaged or not as described, use Poshmark’s in-app problem reporting and keep photos, tracking details, and messages as evidence.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my Poshmark charge show as POSHMARK* or POSHMARK.COM?
POSHMARK* and POSHMARK.COM are normal billing descriptors for purchases made through Poshmark’s app or website. The different endings usually reflect the payment processor, the checkout channel, or the merchant location code used by the card network. If you bought an item, accepted an offer, or paid shipping through your account, the charge is usually legitimate.
How do I cancel my Poshmark subscription?
Poshmark does not use a standard monthly subscription for buyers, so most people do not need to cancel a recurring plan. If you are referring to a seller-related service or a saved payment authorization, sign in to the Poshmark app, review your account settings, and remove any saved card or active listing activity. If you need help, contact Poshmark support at 888-767-0100 or through https://support.poshmark.com.
Why is my Poshmark charge a different amount than expected?
A Poshmark charge can differ from the listed price because shipping, buyer fees, sales tax, or a bundle discount may change the final total. Some cards also show a temporary authorization hold before the final settlement posts, and that hold can be for $1, the full order total, or a slightly different amount. Check your order receipt in the app to compare the item price, shipping, tax, and final charged amount.
Can I return an item bought on Poshmark?
Poshmark returns are limited, and most sales are final unless the item is not as described, damaged, or never shipped. If there is a problem, open the order in the app and report the issue before the acceptance window closes. Save photos, tracking details, and seller messages because Poshmark uses that evidence to review claims.
How do I verify a Poshmark charge on my bank statement?
Match the statement date and amount to your Poshmark order history, email receipt, and app notifications. Confirm the merchant name, item title, and seller profile in the app, then check whether the charge is a final payment or a temporary hold. If nothing matches, call 888-767-0100 and ask your bank to start a dispute.
