How much does Poshmark take from each sale?

$2.95 flat if your item sells for under $15, or a flat 20% if it sells for $15 or more. On a $35 sale, Poshmark keeps $7. On a $12 sale, Poshmark keeps $2.95 which is 24.6%. That flat plus steep percent is why many Poshmark sellers avoid listing below $15 unless bundling.

Does Poshmark charge fees on shipping?

No additional fee on shipping charged to buyer under the current model. Poshmark's 20% or $2.95 is on the item price. If you pay to discount shipping for the buyer — for example $2.51 toward the $7.67 label — that discounted amount is your cost, not an extra Poshmark fee.

What is a good price to avoid high effective fees on Poshmark?

Anything under $15 carries an effective fee above 19.7% because $2.95 on $14 is 21%. At exactly $15, the $2.95 rule ends and 20% starts so effective is a flat 20% on price. Above $25, the 20% still applies but you also keep more absolute dollars. Most profitable Poshmark closets price $30 to $80 and offer bundles to push orders above the $15 cliff.

Should I offer free or discounted shipping on Poshmark?

Discounted shipping boosts conversion and Poshmark's algorithm. Model it: if you discount $3 to buyer, you pay $3 extra. On a $35 sale with $7 fee, net before product is $35+$4.67-$7 = $32.67 versus $35+$7.67-$7 = $35.67 with no discount. The $3 cost is often worth it if it lifts sale price by $5 or cuts days-to-sell. This calculator lets you compare in one click.

How does Poshmark compare to Mercari or eBay fees?

Poshmark is the most expensive of the three at a flat 20% for most listings. Mercari is about 10% plus $0.50. eBay's standard, no-Store Most categories use 13.6% plus $0.40 through the reviewed threshold, while category and Store rates vary. Poshmark justifies it with buyer traffic and free listing, but your pricing must be higher to keep margin. Use the profit calculator to compare apples to apples after product and shipping costs.

How it works

Methodology & formulas

This calculator is transparent by design. Review the steps and formulas so you can trust the estimate and adjust assumptions when your dashboard differs.

Calculation steps

1Determine Poshmark fee: if sellingPrice < 15 then $2.95 else sellingPrice * 0.20
2Total revenue equals sellingPrice + shippingCharged
3Your shipping costs equal actualShippingCost + packagingCost
4Total out equals Poshmark fee plus your shipping costs
5Net earnings equals total revenue minus total out
6Effective fee rate equals Poshmark fee divided by sellingPrice times 100 when sellingPrice >0
7You keep percent equals netEarnings divided by totalRevenue times 100

Formulas

Fee = $2.95 if price < $15 else price × 20%
Total Revenue = sellingPrice + shippingCharged
Your Shipping = actualShipping + packaging
Net = totalRevenue − fee − yourShipping
Effective % = fee ÷ sellingPrice ×100

Important assumptions

Poshmark fee rule as of 2026: sales under $15 = $2.95 flat. Sales $15 and above = 20% of selling price. Fee calculated on item selling price only, not shipping buyer pays.
Shipping charged to buyer is revenue but Poshmark does not take additional commission on it under current model — it is a pass-through.
Actual shipping cost is what you pay when you discount shipping or offer free shipping. If buyer pays full $7.67, set actual cost to 0.
This calculator shows net before product cost so you can quickly compare listings. Use Profit calculator to include item cost.
PoshPays and cases, refunds, and promotions are not modeled.

Worked example

$38 dress with $7.67 shipping

Item sells for $38, buyer pays $7.67 shipping, you pay $0 extra shipping because buyer paid full, packaging $1.

Poshmark fee = $38 × 20% = $7.60. Revenue $45.67. Your costs $1 packaging. Net before item = $45.67 − $7.60 − $1 = $37.07. Effective fee 20% of item price, you keep 81.1% of buyer payment before product cost. If item cost was $12, net profit would be $25.07.
