Understanding Poshmark Fees in 2026
Poshmark is famous for having one of the simplest—though admittedly higher—fee structures in the reselling industry. Unlike platforms that charge separate payment processing fees (like Depop or Grailed), Poshmark bundles everything into one straightforward cut.
The Poshmark Fee Structure
- For sales under $15: Poshmark takes a flat fee of $2.95.
- For sales of $15 or more: Poshmark takes a flat 20% of the listing price.
You keep the remaining balance. This bundled fee covers credit card processing, buyer protection, customer support, and the prepaid USPS Priority Mail shipping label generation.
The Poshmark Fee Change Reversal
If you've been in the reselling community recently, you might remember Poshmark experimenting with a lower seller fee (around 5.99%) whilst introducing a "buyer fee." This change was highly unpopular as it killed sales conversions. Poshmark listened to the community and reverted back to the classic 20% structure. Our calculator is 100% updated to reflect the current, classic rules.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Who pays for shipping on Poshmark?
By default, the buyer pays a flat rate of $7.97 for expedited shipping (up to 5 lbs). However, if you send an "Offer to Likers" or participate in "Closet Clear Out," you must offer a shipping discount ($5.95 or Free Shipping). The cost of that discount is deducted from your net earnings.
Does Poshmark charge fees on shipping?
No. Poshmark's 20% fee is calculated strictly on the item's listing price, not on the shipping costs or the sales tax collected from the buyer.
