Poshmark fees at common sale prices
On a $50.00 sale, Poshmark takes about $10.00 in fees (20.0% effective), leaving you $40.00. Here's how that scales across typical resale prices — no shipping charged to the buyer:
| Sale price | Poshmark fees | Effective rate | You keep |
|---|---|---|---|
| $10.00 | −$2.95 | 29.5% | $7.05 |
| $25.00 | −$5.00 | 20.0% | $20.00 |
| $50.00 | −$10.00 | 20.0% | $40.00 |
| $100.00 | −$20.00 | 20.0% | $80.00 |
| $250.00 | −$50.00 | 20.0% | $200.00 |
| $500.00 | −$100.00 | 20.0% | $400.00 |

How Poshmark fees work
- Poshmark takes a flat $2.95 on sales under $15 and 20% on sales of $15 or more. There is no separate payment processing fee — it's bundled into the commission.
- The commission is charged on the listing price. Buyers pay shipping separately via Poshmark's flat-rate label, so shipping does not increase your fee.
- There are no listing fees and no monthly subscription. The 20% is the highest headline rate of the major resale platforms, but it is genuinely all-inclusive.
- Poshmark reverted the US marketplace to this structure on 24 October 2024, removing the Buyer Protection fee it had briefly introduced.
- Under $15 the flat $2.95 is punishing in percentage terms — a $10 sale gives up nearly 30%. Bundling cheap items is usually better than listing them individually.
Frequently asked about Poshmark fees
Why does Poshmark take 20% of my sale?
Poshmark's 20% commission covers payment processing, the Posh Protect buyer guarantee, customer service, and shipping label costs (USPS Priority Mail flat rates that buyers pay). It is the highest percentage fee of any major resale platform, but unlike eBay or Mercari, there are no separate processing fees — the 20% is the all-in cost.
How does the $2.95 flat fee work for cheap items?
Sales under $15 are charged a flat $2.95 instead of the 20% percentage. This is actually a discount for very small sales — at $5, the flat $2.95 is 59% effective, but at $10 it's only 29.5%. At $14.99, the flat fee is $2.95 (19.7%), and at $15.00 the percentage kicks in for $3.00 (20%). There's a tiny cliff right at the threshold.
Does Poshmark take fees on shipping?
No. The 20% commission applies to the item price only. The buyer pays a separate flat-rate shipping fee at checkout, which goes to the carrier — Poshmark does not take a cut of it, and charging more for shipping is not an option since the rate is fixed by weight band. Check Poshmark's current flat-rate table for the exact amount, as it changes periodically.
How do Poshmark bundle sale fees work?
When a buyer purchases multiple items from your closet in one bundle, Poshmark applies the same fee structure to the total bundle price. So a $50 bundle is charged 20% ($10), not 20% per item. This is why bundle discounts (where you knock 10-15% off the total) often net you the same as individual sales after fees.
