Compute your net payout on Poshmark: a flat $2.95 fee for sales under $15, or 20% of the sale price for $15 and above. Includes goal-seek mode. Fees last updated 2026-04.

How fees work
  • Under $15 sales pay a flat $2.95. Sales $15+ pay 20% of the total. The flat fee actually beats the percentage below about $14.75.
  • Poshmark shipping is buyer-paid via a flat $7.97 label — not a fee you absorb, so it doesn't appear here.
  • Goal seek solves the sale price that hits your target profit, net payout, or margin exactly.

How Poshmark fees work

Poshmark's fee structure is the simplest of any major resale platform: two tiers, one threshold at $15. Sales under $15 pay a flat $2.95 regardless of price — a $10 sale and a $3 sale both lose $2.95 to Poshmark. Sales of $15 or more pay 20% of the total sale price, same as sales of $500 or $5,000.

There's a small quirk at the boundary: the $2.95 flat fee equals a 20% rate at exactly $14.75. Below that, the flat fee is *worse* than 20% — a $5 sale pays 59% in fees. This is often why casual Poshmark sellers bundle small items together into larger listings. If your item is worth less than $15, you're generally better off adding a few bucks to clear the threshold than trying to sell it solo.

Frequently asked questions

Why is Poshmark's fee 19.7% on a $15 sale but 59% on a $5 sale?
Because the under-$15 tier is a flat $2.95 regardless of price. $15 × 20% = $3.00 (just over the flat fee, so Poshmark bumps to the percentage tier). $5 × 20% would be $1 — but Poshmark charges $2.95 anyway. The flat fee is a floor, and on very cheap items it's a massive percentage of the sale.
Should I avoid selling items under $15 on Poshmark?
Generally yes. The flat $2.95 fee plus Poshmark's $7.97 buyer-paid shipping label makes small items unappealing — a $5 tee shirt with $7.97 shipping ends up being a $12.97 purchase for the buyer, of which the seller sees just $2.05 after the $2.95 fee. Bundling multiple small items into a single listing at $20+ is almost always a better strategy.
Does Poshmark charge sales tax or processing fees on top of the selling fee?
No. Unlike almost every other marketplace, Poshmark's 20% (or $2.95) is inclusive — there's no separate payment processing fee, no transaction fee, no regulatory fee. Sales tax IS collected and remitted by Poshmark but not charged to the seller. The 20% is all you pay.
Why is Poshmark's rate so high compared to eBay or Mercari?
Poshmark bundles everything into one rate and provides marketing, discovery (parties, drops), and buyer trust that other platforms require sellers to build. Their typical items sell 3–5x faster than generic resale platforms. Higher fees but higher velocity — the math works out if your inventory moves quickly. It doesn't if items sit.
