Poshmark is a long-running resale marketplace with clean security checks, but a high volume of customer complaints
Poshmark is a marketplace for buying and selling fashion, home decor and beauty items. The domain has been registered for more than 15 years, and security checks found no malware or phishing warnings. The score stays in the Low Risk band rather than Safe because independent review sites record many complaints. Reviewers describe items that were not as described, of questionable authenticity, or damaged, and the Better Business Bureau lists 3,262 complaints over three years.

Investigation Brief
Poshmark is a marketplace for buying and selling fashion, home decor and beauty items. The domain has been registered for more than 15 years, and security checks found no malware or phishing warnings. The score stays in the Low Risk band rather than Safe because independent review sites record many complaints. Reviewers describe items that were not as described, of questionable authenticity, or damaged, and the Better Business Bureau lists 3,262 complaints over three years.
No technical threats detected
None of 93 security engines flagged the site as malicious or suspicious. The browser threat feed returned no warning, and the connection is properly encrypted. The domain is 5,644 days old, which points to a long-established operation rather than a short-lived scam site.
The page's only outside link goes to a map shortcut labelled "See Map". It is not a commercial or advertising redirect.
Customer complaints focus on item quality and service
Reviews on an independent review platform are mostly negative. Many describe items that arrived not as described, of doubtful authenticity, or damaged. Because Poshmark is a marketplace, purchases come from individual sellers, so the quality of what you receive can vary.
The Better Business Bureau records 3,262 complaints in the last three years. This is a real customer-service concern, but it does not show that the site itself is fraudulent. No direct contact email was found on the captured page.
Why the score is 78
The saved checks found no material threat, but the evidence was not strong enough for the highest Safe tier. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

Domain & infrastructure
The plumbing behind the site — who registered it, how it’s encrypted, where it’s hosted, and where it links out. A valid certificate or a calm server doesn’t mean the business is honest — scam sites pass these checks too. Use this to corroborate the verdict, not to overturn it.

A shared content-delivery network address answers for many sites, so it is not the site's own server and says nothing about who runs it.

Payment providers the page loads
None seen among the outside domains we saved.
Read from the first 20 outside domains the page loads and the shop platform it uses; the web server and platform rows are under Hosting & Technology. A payment script on the page does not prove the shop accepts that method at checkout, or that you are protected.
