How much does Poshmark take?
Poshmark takes 20% of the sale price on any sale of $15 or more, and a flat $2.95 on sales under $15. That one fee covers the platform commission and payment processing. There's no charge to list an item, and the fee is based on the final price the buyer paid for the item, after any offer you accepted, not your original listing price.
The flat fee is what catches people out. $2.95 is 20% of $14.75, so on anything cheaper than that, the flat fee takes a bigger share than 20%. On a $5 sale it's 59%.
Poshmark fee examples: what you keep
| Sale price | Poshmark fee | You keep | Fee as % of sale |
|---|---|---|---|
| $5.00 | $2.95 | $2.05 | 59.0% |
| $10.00 | $2.95 | $7.05 | 29.5% |
| $14.00 | $2.95 | $11.05 | 21.1% |
| $15.00 | $3.00 | $12.00 | 20.0% |
| $20.00 | $4.00 | $16.00 | 20.0% |
| $25.00 | $5.00 | $20.00 | 20.0% |
| $35.00 | $7.00 | $28.00 | 20.0% |
| $50.00 | $10.00 | $40.00 | 20.0% |
| $100.00 | $20.00 | $80.00 | 20.0% |
| $250.00 | $50.00 | $200.00 | 20.0% |
Notice the jump at the threshold: a $14 sale keeps $11.05, while a $15 sale keeps $12.00. Pricing an item at exactly $15 instead of $14 earns you $0.95 more.
Worked example: a thrifted jacket
You buy a jacket for $8 and sell it on Poshmark for $35. The buyer pays for shipping.
- Poshmark fee: 20% of $35 = $7.00
- You keep: $35 − $7.00 = $28.00
- Profit after what you paid: $28.00 − $8 = $20.00
Worked example: an accepted offer with a shipping discount
You list a dress at $40 and accept a $30 offer. To close the sale, you offered a shipping discount that saves the buyer $3.
- Poshmark fee: 20% of $30 = $6.00 (the fee is on the accepted price, not the $40 listing price)
- Shipping discount, taken from your earnings: $3.00
- You keep: $30 − $6 − $3 = $21.00, which is 52.5% of your original listing price
Offers and shipping discounts are normal on Poshmark, so price your listings with room for them.
How do Poshmark shipping and fees work?
Poshmark sells one flat-rate prepaid shipping label for most orders, and the buyer pays for it at checkout. You print the label and drop the package off. The standard label covers packages up to 5 lb; for heavier items you pay for an upgraded label yourself. Poshmark adjusts the label price from time to time, so check the current rate in the app.
Because the buyer pays for the label, Poshmark's fee doesn't apply to shipping. That's different from eBay, Depop and Mercari, which charge their fees on shipping the buyer pays too.
Poshmark fees in Canada
Canadian sellers pay a flat C$3.95 on sales under C$20 and 20% on sales of C$20 or more. GST or HST is charged on Poshmark's fee, depending on your province. On a C$50 sale, the fee is C$10 plus tax on that C$10, so you keep a little under C$40.
Poshmark vs eBay, Depop and Mercari fees
Here's what you'd keep on each platform, before what you paid for the item. For eBay, Depop and Mercari, we assume the buyer pays $8.00 for shipping and your label costs the same, since those platforms charge fees on shipping. On Poshmark the buyer pays for the label separately. The highest amount for each price is in bold.
| Sale price | Poshmark | eBay | Depop | Mercari |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $10.00 | $7.05 | $7.15 | $8.96 | $8.20 |
| $25.00 | $20.00 | $20.11 | $23.46 | $21.70 |
| $50.00 | $40.00 | $41.71 | $47.64 | $44.20 |
| $100.00 | $80.00 | $84.91 | $95.99 | $89.20 |
US standard fees as of September 2026, most categories, no store subscription or promoted listings. eBay's fee is also charged on sales tax, which isn't included here, so eBay's real figure is slightly lower.
Poshmark vs eBay fees
eBay charges 13.6% on the total sale, including shipping and sales tax, plus $0.40 per order ($0.30 on orders of $10 or less). On a $50 item with $8.00 shipping, eBay's fee is about $8.29, compared with $10.00 on Poshmark. eBay usually costs less in fees, but you handle more of the shipping yourself, and some categories have different rates.
Poshmark vs Depop fees
Depop removed its selling fee for US sellers in 2024, so US sellers only pay payment processing of 3.3% plus $0.45 on the item and shipping. On the same $50 sale that's about $2.36. For most sales, Depop keeps far less than Poshmark. Boosted listings on Depop cost extra.
Poshmark vs Mercari fees
Mercari charges 10% of the item price plus the shipping the buyer pays, with no separate payment processing fee. On the $50 example that's $5.80. Mercari also charges $3 if you want an instant payout.
Fees aren't the whole story. Poshmark has a large audience for clothing, shoes and accessories, and the item that sits unsold on a cheaper platform earns you nothing. Many resellers cross-list on several platforms and let the item sell wherever the buyer is.
Did Poshmark change its fees?
Briefly. In October 2024, Poshmark tested a new structure that lowered the seller fee and added a fee for buyers. Sellers reported a sharp drop in sales, and later that month Poshmark reversed the change, went back to the $2.95 and 20% structure, and refunded the difference to affected sellers. The same structure applies in 2026.
How to keep more on Poshmark
- Price to the threshold. Items that would sell for $13 or $14 keep more at $15.
- Bundle low-priced items. Three $8 items in one bundle pay one 20% fee instead of three $2.95 flat fees, keeping $19.20 instead of $15.15.
- Leave room for offers. List slightly higher so an accepted offer still hits your target.
- Watch shipping discounts. They come out of your earnings, not Poshmark's.
- Track real profit. Include what you paid, supplies and mileage, not just the payout.

Selling clothes on Poshmark comes down to a listing buyers can find and trust, and a price that allows for the fees. Six steps:
- Take clear photosUse daylight and a plain background. Show the front, back, the brand and size label, the fabric up close and any flaws. Photos on a person or a mannequin help buyers picture the fit.
- Fill in brand, size, category and colorBuyers filter by these fields, so a listing without them is hard to find. Put the brand, item type and size in the title too.
- Add measurements and conditionSizes vary by brand, so add pit-to-pit, length, and waist and inseam for bottoms. Name every flaw. Clear listings get fewer questions and fewer returns.
- Price with offers and the fee in mindOffers are normal on Poshmark, so leave room. The fee is 20% on sales of $15 or more and $2.95 below that, so a $15 price keeps more than $14.
- Share, and send offers to likersShare your listings regularly. When someone likes an item, Offer to Likers lets you send a deal of at least 10% off with a shipping discount; Poshmark offers expire in 24 hours.
- Ship with the prepaid labelThe buyer pays for Poshmark's label, which covers packages up to 5 lb. Print it, pack the item and drop it off.
