How Poshmark fees work
- Poshmark charges a flat $2.95 commission on sales under $15.
- For sales of $15 or more, Poshmark takes a flat 20%. There is no separate payment processing fee — it's bundled in.
- Poshmark handles shipping pricing — the buyer pays Poshmark for a priority mail label by weight tier. The seller chooses the label weight at listing time.
- Bundled sales (multiple items from one closet) use the same fee structure applied to the total bundle price.
- Returns: in scenarios where Poshmark sides with the buyer, the seller may forfeit the sale. Not factored into this calculator.
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 ($8.27 for items under 5 lbs, more for heavier), which goes entirely to USPS — Poshmark does not take a cut of shipping.
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.
