Poshmark seller fees explained
Poshmark has two fee tiers and nothing else. Sales under $15 pay a flat $2.95. Sales of $15 or more pay 20% of the item price. Shipping is handled by a flat-rate label the buyer pays for, so it is never part of your fee calculation.
That 20% is the highest headline rate of any major marketplace, but because it is all-inclusive, with no listing, processing or per-order fees, the gap to eBay's 13.6% + $0.40 is smaller than it looks, especially once eBay's fee on shipping is counted.

United States seller, default category and options, free shipping. These are the fees; subtract what the item cost you to get profit.
| Sale price | Flat commission | Total fees | Fees % | You keep |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $10.00 | $2.95 | $2.95 | 29.5% | $7.05 |
| $25.00 | $5.00 | $5.00 | 20% | $20.00 |
| $50.00 | $10.00 | $10.00 | 20% | $40.00 |
| $100.00 | $20.00 | $20.00 | 20% | $80.00 |
| $500.00 | $100.00 | $100.00 | 20% | $400.00 |
Notice how the effective rate falls as the price rises on platforms with fixed fees, and stays flat on pure-percentage platforms. That is the whole story of which marketplace suits cheap versus expensive items.

How to pay less on Poshmark
- The $2.95 flat fee means a $14.99 sale nets $12.04, while a $15.00 sale nets $12.00. Price just under $15 if you are in that band.
- Offering a shipping discount to close a sale is a real cost: a $2 discount comes straight out of your payout.
- Bundles are a single sale, so three $8 items sold together pay 20% once rather than $2.95 three times.
Frequently asked questions
How much does Poshmark take?
$2.95 on sales under $15, and 20% of the item price on sales of $15 or more. There are no other seller fees.
Does Poshmark charge fees on shipping?
No. The buyer pays Poshmark's flat shipping label fee directly, so shipping never enters your commission calculation.
Is 20% on Poshmark worse than eBay's 13.6%?
Usually, but by less than the headline suggests. eBay also charges on shipping and tax plus a $0.40 per-order fee. On a $30 item with $8 shipping, Poshmark takes $6.00 and eBay takes about $5.57.
