Poshmark Fees at a Glance

Poshmark charges its fees on the listing price.

Fee	Percentage	Flat	Notes
Commission	20%	—	Sales of $15 and above

What You Keep

The flat component is what makes small sales expensive. The same fee schedule costs a very different effective rate depending on the order size:

Sale	Fees	You receive	Effective rate
$5.00	$1.00	$4.00	20.00%
$20.00	$4.00	$16.00	20.00%
$50.00	$10.00	$40.00	20.00%
$100.00	$20.00	$80.00	20.00%
$500.00	$100.00	$400.00	20.00%

Two Fee Structures, One Threshold

Poshmark charges a flat fee on small sales and a percentage on everything else. The switch happens at $15.

Sale price	Fee	You keep
Under $15	$2.95 flat	Price − $2.95
$15 and above	20%	80% of price

The Threshold Creates a Dead Zone

At exactly $15 the 20% fee is $3.00 — five cents worse than the flat fee just below it. The flat structure stays better until about $14.75, which means pricing an item at $15 rather than $14.75 leaves you with less money.

Price	Fee	Net
$14.00	$2.95	$11.05
$14.75	$2.95	$11.80
$15.00	$3.00	$12.00
$16.00	$3.20	$12.80

The dead zone is narrow but real, and it is the one place where the platform's own pricing suggests moving your price rather than accepting it.

Shipping Is Prepaid and Flat

Poshmark provides a prepaid label at a flat rate charged to the buyer, which removes the usual resale headache of estimating postage. It also means heavy items are subsidised and light ones are not — a factor worth considering in what you choose to source.

Twenty Percent Is High, and Buys Something

The rate is well above eBay's. What it buys is a closed social marketplace with its own buyer base, sharing mechanics and no listing fees. Whether that trade works depends entirely on whether your items sell there faster than they would elsewhere.

Charging to Hit a Target Payout

Adding 20.00% to your price under-recovers, because the percentage then applies to the larger amount as well. The correct gross-up divides:

`` charge = (target + flat fees) ÷ (1 − percentage rate) ``

To receive	Charge
$100.00	$125.00
$1,000.00	$1,250.00

Reducing What You Pay

• Raise average order value. The flat fee is fixed, so bundling two $20.00 orders

into one $40.00 order saves the second flat charge outright.

• Watch the optional surcharges. International and currency-conversion fees stack on top

of the base rate and are easy to miss when you price for a domestic market.

• Negotiate at volume. Most processors will discuss custom rates once you are processing

meaningful monthly volume; the published rate is a starting point, not a law.

• Do not migrate for 0.2%. The engineering and support cost of changing platforms

usually exceeds a small rate difference for years.

Sales under $15 pay a flat $2.95 instead of the 20%, which is worse below about $14.75.
