Poshmark charges a 20% commission on sales of $15 or more, and a flat $2.95 fee on anything under $15. There's no separate payment processing fee and no listing fee. Here is what comes out of your payout:
Poshmark's fee depends entirely on price. Sell an item for $15 or more, and Poshmark takes 20% of the item price. Sell it for less, and you pay a flat $2.95 instead. Either way, that's the entire fee, with no processing charge stacked on top.
The fee applies to the item price only, not shipping. Poshmark provides a prepaid shipping label, and the buyer covers that cost separately.
| Sale price | Fee | You keep |
|---|---|---|
| Under $15 | $2.95 flat | Sale price minus $2.95 |
| $15 and above | 20% of item price | 80% of item price |
Bundles are treated as one transaction, so you pay the fee once on the combined total rather than once per item. That makes bundling especially useful for lower-priced items, since it can push the sale past the $15 threshold and out of the flat-fee tier.
Poshmark includes a prepaid USPS shipping label with every sale, and the buyer pays for it directly. As of September 2025, that rate dropped from $8.27 to a flat $6.49 for packages up to 5 pounds, after Poshmark switched from USPS Priority Mail to USPS Ground Advantage. Delivery now takes 2 to 5 business days instead of 1 to 3.
If your package goes over 5 pounds, you cover the difference for an upgraded label. If you offer free or discounted shipping to close a sale, that cost comes out of your payout too, since the buyer rate is otherwise fixed.
On a $12 item, the math works differently. The flat $2.95 fee applies instead of 20%, so you'd keep $9.05. Pricing that same item at $15 and paying the 20% rate instead would leave you with $12, three dollars more, despite the higher fee percentage.
For resellers running multiple shops
Poshmark's flat-rate, all-in commission is structured differently from Depop's processing-only model or Mercari's percentage fee. If you're crosslisting the same inventory across platforms, those differences change your real margin on every sale. Oly syncs your listings and lets you set markup rules per platform, so your pricing accounts for each marketplace's actual fee structure instead of a flat guess.
See how Oly works →The $2.95 flat fee takes a disproportionate cut on cheap items. A $10 item loses nearly 30% to fees, while a $15 item only loses 20%.
Since bundles are charged as a single transaction, combining several under-$15 items into one sale spreads the fee and often clears the 20% threshold.
Work backwards from what you want to keep. If you want $40 after fees, list at $50, not $40, since the fee comes off the top.
Offering free or discounted shipping comes straight out of your payout. Use it as a closing tool for hesitant buyers rather than a default on every listing.
No. The selling fee is calculated on the item price only. Shipping is paid by the buyer directly and isn't part of the fee calculation.
Yes, the same fee tiers apply, but bundles are charged once on the combined total rather than once per item, which often works out cheaper than selling the same items separately.
Poshmark briefly tested a different fee structure in 2024 that included a separate buyer protection fee. It was reverted on October 24, 2024, and the platform has used the 20% / $2.95 model since.
