Beginning July 12, 2026, USPS will apply a <strong>$50 Hazmat Non\u2011Compliance Fee<\/strong> to any package flagged for improper hazardous\u2011materials labeling \u2014 most often caused by reused boxes with old hazmat symbols. Poshmark will cover the full fee through <strong>July 31, 2026<\/strong>, and starting <strong>August 1<\/strong>, sellers will pay <strong>$5<\/strong> while Poshmark absorbs the remaining <strong>$45<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staceyknows.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-9.png?resize=1024%2C682&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3148\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.5007537267600917;width:208px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staceyknows.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-9.png?resize=1024%2C682&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staceyknows.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-9.png?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staceyknows.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-9.png?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staceyknows.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-9.png?resize=1536%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staceyknows.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-9.png?resize=2048%2C1365&amp;ssl=1 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This update affects every seller, regardless of what they ship. Even a simple clothing item sent in a box with an old battery icon can trigger the fee. Sellers must now treat packaging with the same care as the item inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>WHAT TO DO AS A SELLER<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Use clean packaging<\/strong> \u2014 Choose new boxes or poly mailers whenever possible. If reusing packaging, inspect every side for old hazmat symbols, battery icons, or aerosol warnings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Remove or fully cover labels<\/strong> \u2014 Black out, peel off, or completely tape over any previous hazmat markings. Partial coverage can still trigger USPS scanners.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Check your items<\/strong> \u2014 Electronics with lithium batteries, nail polish, perfumes, aerosols, and certain cleaners must follow USPS rules even if Poshmark allows them.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Avoid prohibited items<\/strong> \u2014 Review Poshmark\u2019s updated Terms of Service to ensure your listings comply.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Monitor your balance<\/strong> \u2014 If a fee is applied, Poshmark will adjust your balance automatically with your next sale.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Contact Support<\/strong> \u2014 If you believe USPS flagged your package incorrectly, request a review.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"805\" height=\"140\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staceyknows.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-32.png?resize=805%2C140&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2066\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staceyknows.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-32.png?w=805&amp;ssl=1 805w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staceyknows.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-32.png?resize=300%2C52&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staceyknows.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-32.png?resize=768%2C134&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 805px) 100vw, 805px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sign up now with my code STACEYTEA12 to save $10 on your first order.
