How Poshmark's fee works
Poshmark's support page puts it simply: "For sales under $15, Poshmark takes a flat commission of $2.95" and "For sales of $15 or more, you keep 80% of the sale, and Poshmark takes a 20% commission." There is no listing fee and no separate payment processing fee, and the buyer pays for shipping through Poshmark's prepaid label.
Sale of $15 or more: you earn = price × 80%
Price to earn X = X ÷ 0.8 (or X + $2.95 for small sales)
Poshmark fees at common prices
| Sale price | Poshmark fee | You earn | Fee as % |
|---|---|---|---|
| $8 | $2.95 | $5.05 | 36.9% |
| $12 | $2.95 | $9.05 | 24.6% |
| $14.99 | $2.95 | $12.04 | 19.7% |
| $15 | $3.00 | $12.00 | 20% |
| $25 | $5.00 | $20.00 | 20% |
| $50 | $10.00 | $40.00 | 20% |
| $100 | $20.00 | $80.00 | 20% |
The flat fee is heavy on cheap items: on an $8 sale it is 36.9% of the price. Bundling several low-priced items into one sale above $15 brings the fee down to 20%.
Pricing for offers
Buyers on Poshmark often send offers below the listing price. Decide the least you will accept first: to earn $40 you need a sale price of $50, so list a little higher if you expect to accept an offer. The I want to earn tab does this sum for you.

Poshmark's fees can change, and sellers in Texas see an additional seller fee tax taken from earnings. Check Poshmark's support page for the current rules.
