Poshmark's fee structure is refreshingly simple — just two rules — but that simplicity hides a sting for low-priced items. Here's exactly what Poshmark takes and how to keep more of each sale.
Poshmark's two-tier fee
Poshmark charges the seller one fee per sale:
- Sales under $15: a flat $2.95.
- Sales of $15 or more: a 20% commission.
There are no listing fees, monthly fees, or separate payment-processing charges — the single fee covers everything, including payment processing.
How it works in practice
On a $50 item that cost you $20:
| Line | Amount |
|---|---|
| Sale price | $50.00 |
| Poshmark fee (20%) | −$10.00 |
| Your cost | −$20.00 |
| Net profit | $20.00 |
That's a 40% margin. The Poshmark Fee Calculator runs this for your own prices and costs.
The under-$15 trap
The flat $2.95 looks small, but as a percentage it's brutal on cheap items. On a $10 sale it's a 29.5% fee — far worse than the 20% rate. On a $5 sale it would be 59%. The lesson: bundle low-value items so the sale clears $15 and the percentage fee (or a single flat fee across more value) works in your favor.
How Poshmark compares
At 20%, Poshmark's commission is higher than eBay's ~13.25% or Etsy's 6.5% transaction fee — but it bundles in payment processing and brings a built-in social audience for fashion and accessories. Whether it's worth it depends on your category and how much the platform's traffic helps you sell.
How to keep more of every Poshmark sale
- Get above $15 by bundling so you avoid the punishing flat-fee percentage on cheap items.
- Price the 20% in — build the fee into your asking price rather than absorbing it.
- Raise average sale value with bundles, which also save buyers on shipping and move more inventory per order.
- Factor in your true cost — sourcing, cleaning, and shipping supplies all eat into the 80% you keep.
The bottom line
Poshmark keeps it simple: $2.95 under $15, 20% above. The flat fee makes cheap items inefficient to sell, so bundle up past $15 and price the commission in. Use the Poshmark Fee Calculator to see your real profit, and confirm the current fee on Poshmark, since rates can change.
Frequently asked questions
How much does Poshmark take per sale?
Poshmark takes a flat $2.95 on sales under $15, and 20% on sales of $15 or more. That single fee covers payment processing too — there are no listing or monthly fees.
What is the Poshmark fee on a $50 sale?
Since $50 is above the $15 threshold, the fee is 20%: $50 × 0.20 = $10. You keep $40 before your own product cost.
Why is the Poshmark fee so high on cheap items?
The flat $2.95 fee on sales under $15 is a large percentage of a small sale — 29.5% on a $10 item, and even more on cheaper ones. Bundling items to clear $15 avoids this penalty.
Does Poshmark charge listing or monthly fees?
No. Poshmark has no listing fees, no monthly fees, and no separate payment-processing charge. The single per-sale fee ($2.95 or 20%) is the only seller fee.
Is Poshmark more expensive than eBay or Etsy?
On commission, yes — Poshmark’s 20% is higher than eBay’s ~13.25% or Etsy’s 6.5% transaction fee. But it bundles payment processing and brings a built-in fashion audience, which can be worth the higher rate for the right items.
Who pays for shipping on Poshmark?
Buyers typically pay a flat shipping fee, so it usually doesn’t come out of your profit. Bundling multiple items into one order saves the buyer on shipping and helps you sell more per sale.
How do I keep more profit on Poshmark?
Bundle low-value items to get above $15, build the 20% fee into your asking price, raise your average sale value, and account for your true sourcing and supply costs so the 80% you keep is real profit.
How do I calculate my Poshmark profit?
Subtract the Poshmark fee and your product cost from the sale price. On a $50 item costing you $20: $50 − $10 fee − $20 cost = $20 profit, a 40% margin. The calculator does this instantly.
