Moving from Vinted to Poshmark
What changes for your fees, your listings, and your buyers — and how to actually make the move.
Move from Vinted to Poshmark when designer and contemporary pieces need a bigger, more engaged US buyer pool — accepting the 20% for reach and velocity.
What the switch does to your payout
Moving to Poshmark costs you more in fees than Vinted — you're trading margin for reach, so it only pays off if Poshmark sells what Vinted couldn't.
Net payout before and after the switch
| Sale price | Vinted net | Poshmark net | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| $15.00 | $15.00 · no fee | $12.00 · −20.0% | − $3.00 |
| $25.00 | $25.00 · no fee | $20.00 · −20.0% | − $5.00 |
| $50.00 | $50.00 · no fee | $40.00 · −20.0% | − $10.00 |
| $100.00 | $100.00 · no fee | $80.00 · −20.0% | − $20.00 |
| $250.00 | $250.00 · no fee | $200.00 · −20.0% | − $50.00 |
| $500.00 | $500.00 · no fee | $400.00 · −20.0% | − $100.00 |
Net payout = sale price + shipping charged − platform fees, calculated with default options and no shipping charged to the buyer. Difference is what Poshmark nets you versus Vinted on the same sale.
Why sellers make this move
Vinted is free but its US audience is still scaling, so higher-value designer and contemporary fashion can sit. Sellers move to Poshmark when a faster sale at a better price is worth the 20% commission — Poshmark's larger, more engaged US fashion pool and social mechanics move that inventory.
What changes when you switch
- You start paying a flat 20% commission on sales over $15 — Vinted took nothing from the seller.
- You gain Poshmark's social selling engine: shares, parties, closet following, and bundles that actively push listings.
- The addressable US fashion audience is larger and more engaged, especially for designer and contemporary brands.
- Buyers pay Poshmark's shipping model rather than Vinted's Buyer Protection flow — expect different checkout economics.
How to move your listings
There's no listing import between them. Relist manually or use a cross-lister (Vendoo, List Perfectly, Crosslist), and delist promptly wherever an item sells to avoid double-selling.
Before you switch everything
For everyday, lower-value closet items, Vinted's zero fees almost always win — 20% is a lot to give up on a $20 sale. Poshmark only pays off when its engaged buyers move your item faster or at a higher price than Vinted could, which mostly happens with designer and contemporary pieces.
Frequently asked
Why pay Poshmark's 20% after selling free on Vinted?
Reach and speed on the right items. Poshmark's larger, more engaged US fashion pool — plus shares, parties, and bundles — can sell designer and contemporary pieces faster and at higher prices than Vinted's still-scaling audience, enough to outweigh the 20% on those items. For everyday low-value pieces, Vinted's zero fee still wins.
How much does Poshmark take per sale?
A flat 20% on any sale of $15 or more (a flat $2.95 on sales under $15). Run your exact numbers on the Poshmark fee calculator before you switch high-value listings.
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.
