Poshmark keeps its fee structure simple: it takes a 20% commission on sales of $15 or more, and a flat $2.95 on sales under $15. The commission is based on the item sale price, and the buyer pays shipping separately.
Because Poshmark fees come off the top, a low-cost item can leave very little behind. Enter your cost and price to see net payout, profit and the break-even price where the sale stops making money.
Formula
Poshmark commission = 20% of item price ($15+), or a flat $2.95 (under $15)
Poshmark does not charge a separate payment-processing fee to the seller, and shipping is paid by the buyer, so the item price is the fee base. The $15 threshold matters: just below it a flat $2.95 applies, which is a much larger share of a cheap item than 20% would be.
How to calculate it
- Enter the item price you plan to list or accept.
- Enter what the item cost you (and any outbound cost you absorb).
- Set the commission rate and the flat-fee threshold if Poshmark changes them.
- Compare the break-even price to your offer before you accept or make one.
