How Poshmark fees work in 2026
After the 2024 fee experiment that sellers revolted against, Poshmark reverted to its original, all-in model — one commission, nothing else:
- • Sales under $15 — a flat $2.95, no matter the price.
- • Sales of $15 and over — 20% of the sale.
- • Nothing else — no listing fee, no monthly fee, no separate payment processing, and the prepaid shipping label is included.
Two worked examples
- • $50 item: 20% fee = $10.00 → you keep $40.00 (20%)
- • $10 item: flat fee = $2.95 → you keep $7.05 (a 29.5% effective rate)
Tiny sales are proportionally brutal. The $2.95 flat fee is 59% of a $5 sale. If you list a lot of cheap items, bundles that lift the order past $15 (into the 20% tier) often leave you with more.
The payout, once Poshmark is done
Poshmark pays out by direct deposit, PayPal or Venmo. If you cash out across currencies, that final step has its own 2–4% markup — worth checking before you assume the 20% is your only cost. See the real payout with the PayPal, Venmo and Wise calculators.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Poshmark take per sale?
Poshmark charges a flat $2.95 on sales under $15, or a 20% commission on sales of $15 and above. There are no listing fees, monthly fees or separate payment-processing charges — it is a single all-in commission that even includes the prepaid shipping label.
Why is the Poshmark fee sometimes a flat $2.95?
For low-value sales under $15, Poshmark charges a flat $2.95 instead of a percentage. On a $5 sale that is 59%, so very cheap items are proportionally expensive. The 20% rate applies at $15 and above.
Does Poshmark charge payment or shipping fees on top?
No. The fee is all-inclusive — it covers payment processing and the prepaid USPS shipping label. The buyer pays a separate shipping charge at checkout, but the seller has no extra cost beyond the $2.95 or 20%.
Is Poshmark cheaper than Depop or Mercari?
It depends on price. Depop charges US sellers only about 3.3% + $0.45, far less than Poshmark's 20% on higher-value items. But Poshmark bundles the shipping label and a social-selling audience into its fee, so the comparison is not only about the percentage.
How can I keep more on Poshmark?
Avoid lots of tiny sub-$15 sales where the flat $2.95 dominates, use bundles to lift order values past the threshold efficiently, and pick a low-cost payout. Poshmark pays via direct deposit, PayPal or Venmo, and converting to another currency can add a markup for sellers outside the US.
