Poshmark fees explained

Poshmark's fee model is unusual and the source of constant confusion. For sales under $15 they take a flat $2.95 — that's it, no percentage. For sales of $15 or more they take 20% of the sale price flat, with no separate payment processing fee on top. Texas sellers also pay a Texas Seller Fee Tax since October 1, 2025. The 20% feels brutal compared to eBay's 13.6% or Mercari's 10%, but Poshmark also covers the buyer's shipping fee structure differently and the flat $7.97 priority shipping is paid by the buyer. The real Poshmark math question isn't 'what are the fees' — it's 'is the higher sell-through rate on a fashion-focused platform worth the 20% cut versus listing the same item on eBay at 13.6%?' This calculator answers that side-by-side.

FAQ

Common questions about Poshmark fees

What is Poshmark's 20% fee?
Poshmark charges a flat 20% of the sale price for any sale of $15 or more. Below $15, the fee is a flat $2.95 instead. Unlike most marketplaces, Poshmark doesn't charge a separate payment processing fee — the 20% is the full marketplace cost. Sellers in Texas also pay a Texas Seller Fee Tax on top of the fee since October 1, 2025.
Why is Poshmark's fee so high?
Poshmark's audience skews heavily toward fashion, the platform handles all customer service and shipping coordination, and sell-through on the right item (women's apparel, accessories, footwear) is significantly faster than eBay or Mercari for the same item. The 20% is real, but you're paying for a curated audience that converts.
Who pays for shipping on Poshmark?
The buyer pays a flat $7.97 for USPS Priority Mail shipping on most orders. The seller doesn't pay shipping unless they offer "make an offer" with bundled shipping discounts or use the "shipping discount" feature. For sellers, shipping is essentially free as long as you stay under the priority weight limit.
Is Poshmark worth 20% versus eBay's 13.6%?
For women's contemporary fashion and accessories, almost always yes — sell-through is 2-3x faster, average sale prices are higher, and there's no Promoted Listings fee burden on top. For everything else (men's apparel, electronics, vintage, hard goods), eBay's lower fee plus broader audience usually wins. The calculator below shows the side-by-side delta on any specific item.
What is Posh Ads / Promoted Closet?
Promoted Closet is Poshmark's optional paid visibility feature, charged in addition to the 20% selling fee. It's only worth using on premium items ($50+) where the additional reach justifies the margin hit. For most casual sellers, the organic share-and-engagement model still moves items without paid promotion.
When does Poshmark pay sellers?
Poshmark releases payment 3 days after the buyer accepts the order (or automatically after 3 days of no buyer response). Funds appear in your Posh Wallet and can be transferred via direct deposit (1-3 business days) or PayPal (instant). There's no payout fee for either method.
How much does Poshmark take from a $100 sale?
$20.00, using the rates in the calculator above: a 20% selling fee ($20.00). You keep $80.00 before shipping and what you paid for the item. Flat $2.95 for sales under $15; 20% above $15. Calculator uses 20% above-threshold default.
What do I need to sell for on Poshmark to take home $50?
$62.50. At that price the fees come to $12.50, leaving $50.00. That is before shipping and what you paid for the item, so add both on top to find a price that actually clears $50 profit.
Which takes less on a $50 sale: Poshmark, eBay or Mercari?
On base fees, Poshmark takes $10.00 (you keep $40.00); eBay takes $7.20 (you keep $42.80); Mercari takes $5.00 (you keep $45.00). Mercari leaves you the most. These use each marketplace's default rate from our calculators; category rates, promoted listings and who pays shipping change the real number.
