How it works

Poshmark's fee structure explained.

Under $15: flat fee

Poshmark charges a flat $2.95 on every sale below $15. That means on a $6 sale you keep only $3.05 — barely worth listing.

$15 and over: 20%

Once you hit $15, Poshmark takes 20% of the sale price. On a $50 item you keep $40. It's one of the highest fee platforms out there.

FAQ

Poshmark fee questions answered

Why does Poshmark charge 20%? That seems high.

Poshmark's 20% fee includes their platform costs, payment processing, and seller protection — but it is genuinely one of the highest rates in resale. The trade-off is a large, built-in audience of fashion buyers who are already there to spend. Most sellers who do well on Poshmark list higher-margin items where the 20% still leaves a solid profit.

What exactly counts as the sale amount Poshmark charges fees on?

Poshmark charges the fee on the listing price only. Poshmark handles shipping separately — buyers pay a flat $7.97 shipping fee that Poshmark keeps and uses to generate your prepaid label. You don't pay fees on shipping. This is different from eBay, where FVF applies to the total including buyer-paid shipping.

When do I actually receive my Poshmark earnings?

Poshmark releases your earnings 3 days after the buyer receives the item and confirms the purchase, or auto-releases after 3 days if the buyer doesn't respond. You can then redeem via direct deposit, PayPal, or Poshmark's prepaid check.

Does Poshmark charge fees on offers and counter-offers?

Yes — the 20% fee applies to whatever final price the item sells for, whether that's your listing price, an accepted offer, or a counter-offer. If you accept a $30 offer on a $40 listing, you pay 20% of $30 ($6), keeping $24.

Is it worth listing cheap items on Poshmark?

Items under $10 often don't make sense on Poshmark. After the $2.95 flat fee, a $7 sale nets you $4.05 — and that's before you account for your purchase cost. Most experienced Poshmark sellers set a minimum list price of $15–$20 and focus on items they can sell for $30 or more.
