Poshmark US uses a simple two-tier seller fee. On any sale under $15, Poshmark takes a flat $2.95. On any sale of $15 or more, Poshmark takes a 20% commission. That single fee covers a prepaid USPS Priority Mail shipping label (up to 5 lbs), payment processing, and Poshmark's seller protection, so there are no listing fees, no monthly subscription, and no separate transaction charges stacked on top. Poshmark reverted to this structure on 24 October 2024, scrapping the short-lived split-fee experiment and removing the buyer-side Buyer Protection Fee that ran during it. The calculator above applies the correct tier for your price and subtracts any shipping discount you choose to offer, so you can see your true net payout and profit before you list.
For a typical $35 dress, Poshmark takes $7.00 (20% of $35), leaving a $28.00 payout. If that dress cost you $12.00 to source, your net profit is $16.00, a 45.7% margin on the sale. The flat fee bites hardest on cheap items: on a $12 accessory, Poshmark's flat $2.95 is an effective 24.6% rate, well above the 20% headline. That is why many Poshers bundle small items or price above $15 where the percentage fee is actually gentler than the flat one. Enter your own numbers above to see the exact split for your listing.
| Fee | Rate | Charged On | Who Pays |
|---|---|---|---|
| Selling fee (under $15) | $2.95 flat | Sale price below $15 | Seller |
| Selling fee ($15 and up) | 20% | Sale price of $15 or more | Seller |
| Payment processing | Included | No separate charge | Seller |
| Prepaid shipping label | Included | USPS Priority Mail, up to 5 lbs | Buyer |
| Listing fee | $0 | No cost to list | Seller |
| Monthly subscription | $0 | No account fee | Seller |
The selling fee is the only cut Poshmark takes from a seller, and it already includes payment processing and the shipping label. Standard shipping is paid by the buyer, though sellers can choose to offer a shipping discount to lift conversion, which comes straight off the payout. Rates and thresholds change, so always confirm the current figure in your Poshmark account or on the official Poshmark fees help page before pricing an item.
The formula is: Payout = Sale Price − Poshmark Fee − Any Shipping Discount, then subtract your item cost to get net profit. Take an $85 handbag where you offer a $5 shipping discount. The fee is 20% of $85, which is $17.00, so your Poshmark payout is $68.00. Subtract the $5 discount and you keep $63.00. If the bag cost you $40 to source, your net profit is $23.00, a 27.1% margin. For a higher-value $250 designer coat, the fee is 20% of $250, or $50.00, leaving a $200.00 payout. The calculator does this maths instantly and shows the effective rate on your sale price.
Actionable Insight: Poshmark's flat $2.95 fee makes sub-$15 sales expensive in percentage terms. Pricing an item at $15 rather than $14 flips you from a $2.95 flat fee (19.7% at $15) into the 20% tier at just $3.00, so the jump is tiny. Below about $14.75 the flat fee is the worse deal per dollar, which is why bundling cheap items into one order is the single biggest margin lever on Poshmark.
For sellers running Poshmark alongside other marketplaces and a webstore, OneCart keeps stock levels in sync across every channel and centralises orders and reporting, so selling the last unit on Poshmark never leaves you overselling on Depop or eBay.

Poshmark's 20% commission (or flat $2.95 under $15) is on the higher side for resale, but it bundles the shipping label and payment processing into one number, which keeps the maths simple. By comparison, Mercari charges a flat 10% but leaves free-shipping labels for the seller to absorb, Depop charges US sellers 0% selling fee and only payment processing (around 3.3% plus $0.45), and eBay typically lands around 13% to 15% all-in for most categories. Poshmark's edge is the built-in prepaid label and its social, closet-driven discovery; the trade-off is that 20% cut on every dollar above $15. On lower-value fashion the flat fee and included shipping can still net more than platforms where postage eats the margin.
Poshmark US charges a flat $2.95 on sales under $15 and a 20% commission on sales of $15 or more. That fee includes a prepaid USPS Priority Mail shipping label, payment processing, and seller protection. There are no listing fees and no monthly subscription.
On a $100 sale, Poshmark takes 20%, which is $20.00, leaving you a $80.00 payout before your own item cost. If you offer a shipping discount, that amount comes off the $80.00 as well. Your net profit is the payout minus what you paid to source the item.
No. Shipping is paid by the buyer and the prepaid USPS Priority Mail label is included in Poshmark's selling fee, so it is not charged to your payout. The only way shipping reduces your payout is if you voluntarily offer a shipping discount to buyers, which is deducted from your earnings.
Because $2.95 is a fixed amount, it is a larger percentage of a small sale. On a $12 item, $2.95 is an effective 24.6%, higher than the 20% tier. The two tiers cross over near $14.75, where 20% also equals $2.95. Below that, the flat fee costs more per dollar, which is why bundling low-priced items into one order saves money.
The calculator uses Poshmark's published 2026 US fee structure: the flat $2.95 fee under $15 and the 20% commission on $15 and above, with the shipping label and payment processing already included. Your real net also depends on any shipping discount you offer and your cost of goods, which you enter above. Rates can change and promotions vary, so treat the result as a close estimate and confirm the current figure in your Poshmark account.
OneCart syncs your inventory, orders, and reporting across Poshmark, Depop, Mercari, eBay, Shopify, and more, so selling out on one channel never leaves you overselling elsewhere.
