How Much Does Poshmark Take From Your Sales?

Short answer: Poshmark takes a flat $2.95 from sales under $15, and 20 percent from sales of $15 or more. You keep the sale price minus $2.95 on a small sale, and 80 percent on a larger sale. On a $20 sale, Poshmark takes $4.00 and you keep $16.00. On a $50 sale, it takes $10.00 and you keep $40.00. On a $100 sale, it takes $20.00 and you keep $80.00. Listing is free, with no monthly fee and no separate payment processing fee.

The current fee in one table

Poshmark’s United States seller fee has two tiers, and the tier depends on the final sale price. The final sale price is the price the buyer actually pays for the item, after any accepted offer or seller discount, not the original listed price.

The lowest price for a listing is $3. At $3, the $2.95 fee leaves you with $0.05, which is why very low priced listings rarely make sense on their own. At $10, you keep $7.05. At $14, you keep $11.05. At $15, the 20 percent fee is $3.00, so you keep $12.00.

There is no fee to list an item, no monthly closet fee, and no separate card processing fee. The single selling fee covers payment processing, Posh Protect, and the prepaid shipping label service.

Worked examples: $20, $50, and $100 sales

Here is the maths, step by step, for the three sale prices sellers ask about most.

A $20 sale

Sale price: $20.00. The sale is $15 or more, so the fee is 20 percent. Twenty percent of $20.00 is $20.00 times 0.20, which is $4.00. You keep $20.00 minus $4.00, which is $16.00. Poshmark takes $4.00. You keep $16.00.

A $50 sale

Sale price: $50.00. The fee is 20 percent. Twenty percent of $50.00 is $50.00 times 0.20, which is $10.00. You keep $50.00 minus $10.00, which is $40.00. Poshmark takes $10.00. You keep $40.00.

A $100 sale

Sale price: $100.00. The fee is 20 percent. Twenty percent of $100.00 is $100.00 times 0.20, which is $20.00. You keep $100.00 minus $20.00, which is $80.00. Poshmark takes $20.00. You keep $80.00.

The same maths at other common prices

For any price of $15 or more, multiply the sale price by 0.20 to find the fee, then subtract the fee to find what you keep. For a $25 sale, the fee is $5.00 and you keep $20.00. For a $40 sale, the fee is $8.00 and you keep $32.00. For a $60 sale, the fee is $12.00 and you keep $48.00. For a $200 sale, the fee is $40.00 and you keep $160.00.

For sales under $15, subtract $2.95 from the sale price. For a $5 sale, you keep $2.05. For a $10 sale, you keep $7.05. For a $12 sale, you keep $9.05. On a $5 sale, $2.95 is 59 percent of the price, so many sellers bundle low value items instead of listing them alone.

What about shipping? Who pays that?

Shipping is separate from the selling fee, and in normal cases it does not come out of your item price. The buyer pays a flat $6.49 for standard shipping at checkout, and Poshmark emails you a prepaid USPS Ground Advantage label for a package up to 5 pounds.

There are three cases where shipping can reduce what you keep. First, if your package weighs more than 5 pounds, you pay to upgrade the label before you ship. The upgrade is $5 for 5.1 to 10 pounds, and $10 for 10.1 to 15 pounds.

Second, if you offer a shipping discount to close a sale, that discount comes out of your earnings. For example, if you offer a buyer $4.99 shipping instead of $6.49, the $1.50 difference comes from your side. Check the final figure Poshmark shows before you send the offer.

Third, if you use the wrong packaging, you can face an extra charge. Do not use USPS Priority Mail boxes or envelopes with a Ground Advantage label. Use plain boxes or poly mailers. A bundle ships under one $6.49 shipping fee if the total weight stays under 5 pounds.

Discounts, offers, and bundles change the fee

The fee is worked out on the final sale price, not the price you first listed. That matters when you accept offers or run discounts, because a lower final price means a lower fee in dollars, but also lower earnings for you.

Take a top listed at $30. If it sells at the full $30, the fee is $6.00 and you keep $24.00. If you accept an offer of $25, the fee is $5.00 and you keep $20.00. The fee fell by $1.00, but your earnings fell by $4.00. The discount itself is the main cost.

The same rule applies to bundles. If you offer 20 percent off a bundle, the fee is worked out after that discount, on the lower total. Always work out your net figure on the price you will actually receive: final price times 0.80 for sales of $15 or more, or final price minus $2.95 for sales under $15.

A full month example: ten sales, what you really keep

A single sale is easy to work out, but a month of sales shows the real picture. Meet Sara. In one month, Sara sells ten items: two tops at $12 each, three items at $25 each, three items at $40 each, shoes at $60, and a handbag at $100. She offers no shipping discounts, and all parcels are under 5 pounds.

First, the total sales. Two tops at $12 is $24. Three items at $25 is $75. Three items at $40 is $120. Shoes at $60 is $60. The handbag at $100 is $100. Total sales are $379.00.

Next, the fees. The two $12 tops carry $2.95 each, or $5.90. The three $25 items carry $5.00 each, or $15.00. The three $40 items carry $8.00 each, or $24.00. The $60 shoes carry $12.00. The $100 handbag carries $20.00. Total fees are $76.90.

Sara keeps $379.00 minus $76.90, which is $302.10, before packaging. After the $12.00 she spent on mailers, she keeps $290.10. Her effective fee rate for the month is $76.90 divided by $379.00, which is about 20.3 percent, slightly above 20 percent because the two small tops carried the flat $2.95 fee.

If Sara had sold those two $12 tops as a single $24 bundle, the fee would be 20 percent of $24, which is $4.80, instead of $5.90. She would have kept $1.10 more, and the buyer would have paid one shipping fee instead of two.

This example leaves out tax and the cost of any items Sara bought to resell. Keep a simple sheet with the sale price, the fee, any shipping discount or upgrade, and packaging, so the monthly total is honest. That record is also the base for tracking side income for tax.

The old fee models, and why old guides disagree

If you search for Poshmark fees, you will find guides that disagree, and the reason is that Poshmark changed its fee model more than once in a short period. The long standing model, in force for many years, is the one in this article: $2.95 under $15, and 20 percent at $15 or more, with the buyer paying shipping.

In October 2023, Poshmark changed the model so buyers paid a fee and sellers kept a larger share. Then in October 2024, it briefly tried a 5.99 percent seller fee plus a buyer protection fee. Sellers objected, and on 24 October 2024 Poshmark reverted to the original $2.95 and 20 percent model.

So the answers are: no, sellers do not keep 100 percent under the current model. No, the seller fee is not 5.99 percent. If a guide quotes 5.99 percent or says sellers keep everything, check its date, and check the current Fee Policy before you price a large batch of listings.

Sellers in Texas should note one extra item. Since 1 October 2025, sellers located in Texas may see an additional Texas Seller Fee Tax deducted from earnings, under Poshmark’s fee policy. If you live in Texas, check the current fee policy for the exact treatment.

How to keep more of each sale

You cannot change the fee, but you can change the maths around it. First, price with the fee in mind. If you want to keep at least $20, you need a sale price of $25, because 80 percent of $25 is $20. If you want to keep at least $40, you need a sale price of $50.

Second, bundle low priced items. A single $8 top leaves you with $5.05 after the flat fee. Three $8 tops sold as a $24 bundle leave you with $19.20 after a 20 percent fee, which is $6.40 per top, instead of $5.05. The bundle also saves the buyer a second shipping fee.

Third, be careful with offers and shipping discounts. A 10 percent price cut costs you far more than the fee saving on that cut, as shown above. Set a lowest price in advance for each item, and do not accept offers below it in the moment. If you do offer a shipping discount, count it as part of the price cut, not as a separate free extra.

Fourth, keep parcels under 5 pounds where you can. Weigh heavy items before you list them. Fifth, spend a little time on photos and descriptions. A clear main photo in daylight can lift the sale price by a few dollars, and you keep 80 percent of every extra dollar. See: How Can I Start a Side Income With No Money?

Sixth, keep records and build a small buffer. Side income is uneven, and a quiet week is normal. If you are saving what you keep, put it towards a clear goal, such as an emergency fund.

When Poshmark is worth it, and when it is not

Poshmark is worth it when you have clothes, shoes, or accessories that still have value, you can photograph them clearly, and you can spare a few minutes a day for sharing and replies. The work is steady rather than fast, and most closets build slowly.

It is less useful when your items are very low value on their own, for example single tops worth $5 or less, because the $2.95 flat fee takes more than half the price. Bundling helps, but only if the bundle is attractive enough to sell. Compare the net figure, not the sale price, when you decide.
