Poshmark deducts one commission from each sale and nothing else. Under $15 the fee is a flat $2.95. At $15 and above it is 20% of the sale price, so you keep 80%. Listing is free, and there is no separate payment processing fee.
Buyers pay for the standard shipping label on top of your price, so shipping never touches your earnings or the commission. You only pay shipping when a box weighs more than 5 lb and needs a label upgrade, up to the 15 lb maximum. Enter that upgrade in the label field when it applies.
Because the fee switches from flat to percentage at $15, a price just under the line can earn more than a price on it. A $14.99 sale leaves you $12.04; a $15.00 sale leaves $12.00. Above that point the 20% commission is the number to plan around.
Profit subtracts what you paid for the item and your packaging. Margin is profit divided by the sale price. ROI is profit divided by the item cost, the figure most resellers use to decide how much to pay at a thrift store or estate sale.
Commission = $2.95 if the sale is under $15, otherwise 20% x sale price. Earnings = sale price - commission

Source: support.poshmark.com/s/article/297755057?language=en_US and Poshmark Fee Policy v1.7 (effective Nov 25, 2024). Checked September 30, 2026. Sellers with a Texas return address also have a Texas Seller Fee Tax deducted since October 1, 2025. It is not included here.
Under $15 the flat $2.95 is almost a quarter of the price. Bundling low-priced pieces into one sale keeps more of each dollar.
| Sale price | $12.00 |
|---|---|
| Poshmark commission ($2.95 flat (item price)) | -$2.95 |
| Net payout | $9.05 |
| Costs (item $3.00, shipping $0.00, packaging $0.30) | -$3.30 |
| Profit | $5.75 (47.9% margin, 192% ROI) |
A mid-priced item pays the full 20%. The $12 commission is the same whether the jeans cost you $2 or $30, so sourcing cost decides the profit.
| Sale price | $60.00 |
|---|---|
| Poshmark commission (20% of $60.00 (item price)) | -$12.00 |
| Net payout | $48.00 |
| Costs (item $12.00, shipping $0.00, packaging $0.40) | -$12.40 |
| Profit | $35.60 (59.3% margin, 297% ROI) |
The percentage keeps scaling and Poshmark takes $50. For high-ticket pieces, compare this with platforms whose rate drops on expensive items before you decide where to list.
| Sale price | $250.00 |
|---|---|
| Poshmark commission (20% of $250.00 (item price)) | -$50.00 |
| Net payout | $200.00 |

$4.00, which is 20% of $20. You earn $16.00 before your own costs. The buyer pays shipping separately, so it does not change either number.
The buyer pays for the standard label, and Poshmark sends you a prepaid label. You only pay extra when a package needs an upgraded label for 5 to 15 lb.
$14.99 earns $12.04 after the flat $2.95; $15.00 earns $12.00 after 20%. Prices from $15.00 to $15.05 keep no more than $14.99 does, and anything higher earns more. If an item is worth about $15, stay just under the line or price clearly above it.
The commission is taken from the final order price, so a bundle is charged once on its total after any discount. A three-item bundle that sells for $45 pays 20% of $45, not three separate fees.
Yes. Since October 1, 2025, sellers with a Texas return address have a Texas Seller Fee Tax deducted. It is the 6.25% state rate plus local rates, applied to 80% of the Poshmark fee. Poshmark's own example: a $100 sale with an 8.25% combined rate costs $1.32 extra.
Use "Price for a target profit", choose Margin, and enter 50. With a $6 item cost and $0.50 packaging it returns $21.66: Poshmark keeps $4.33 and you keep $10.83 after costs, exactly half the sale.
