How Much Does Poshmark Take? (2026 Seller Fees)
By the Profitvana Editorial Team · Updated September 2026
The short answer: Poshmark keeps a flat $2.95 on any sale of $15 or less, and 20% of the order price on anything above $15 — so $20 on a $100 sale. There is no separate payment-processing fee and the buyer pays shipping, which makes Poshmark one of the simplest fee structures in resale and also one of the highest. Here is the full 2026 breakdown, including the price band where the flat fee quietly costs you 20–30%.
Two fees, and only one applies to each sale
Poshmark's US fee policy has exactly two lines. Sales of $15 and under pay a flat $2.95. Sales over $15 pay a 20% commission on the order price. Listing is free, and payment processing is already inside the fee — nothing else is deducted before your earnings land.
This is the structure Poshmark reverted to on 24 October 2024, when it dropped the short-lived buyer-side fee experiment. Any guide describing a Buyer Protection Fee, or a seller commission other than 20%, is describing the few weeks in late 2024 when that experiment ran.
| Order price | Poshmark fee | Payment processing | Shipping |
|---|---|---|---|
| $15 and under | $2.95 flat | Included | Paid by buyer |
| Over $15 | 20% of the order | Included | Paid by buyer |
Worked examples: where the flat fee bites
The 20% headline is honest above about $30. Below it, the flat fee makes cheap items surprisingly expensive to sell — a $10 top costs you almost 30% in fees, and the effective rate only dips under 20% in a narrow band just below the $15 line:
| Order price | Fee | Effective rate | You keep |
|---|---|---|---|
| $10 | $2.95 | 29.5% | $7.05 |
| $15 | $2.95 | 19.7% | $12.05 |
| $16 | $3.20 | 20.0% | $12.80 |
| $50 | $10.00 | 20.0% | $40.00 |
| $100 | $20.00 | 20.0% | $80.00 |
| $250 | $50.00 | 20.0% | $200.00 |
What the 20% buys you
Poshmark's rate is roughly double Mercari's and Facebook Marketplace's, and five times Depop's US processing fee. The counter-argument is what sits inside it: prepaid shipping labels through PoshPost that the buyer funds, no per-transaction processing charge, no listing fees, and the closet-level social features that drive a lot of Poshmark's sales. Whether that is worth ten extra points depends entirely on whether your items sell faster or for more on Poshmark than elsewhere.

| Platform | Fee on a $100 sale | Fee on a $12 sale |
|---|---|---|
| Depop (US) | $3.75 | $0.85 |
| Mercari | $10.00 | $1.20 |
| Facebook Marketplace | $10.00 | $1.20 |
| eBay | $14.00 | $2.03 |
| Poshmark | $20.00 | $2.95 |
Offers, discounts and bundles
The commission is charged on the final order price, not the listing price. Accept a $40 offer on a $60 listing and Poshmark takes $8, not $12. The same logic works for you on bundles: a buyer combining three $12 items into a single $36 order pays one 20% fee of $7.20 — less than the $8.85 you would have paid as three separate flat-fee sales, and shipped once.
Offering a shipping discount is the one way to move a cost onto your side. Poshmark deducts any shipping discount you offer from your earnings, so a discounted label on a $20 sale can push your effective rate well past 20%.
How to keep more on Poshmark
Bundle low-priced items so orders land above $15 and, ideally, above $30 where the effective rate settles at 20%. Price to absorb the commission rather than discovering it at payout — our guide on pricing products to cover fees walks through the arithmetic. And model the exact tier, offer price and any shipping discount in the Poshmark fee calculator before you accept.
