Enter your price and what you paid. Poshmark's fee is simple, but it is one of the highest, so it pays to check.
How Poshmark fees work
Poshmark has one fee, taken when an item sells:
- Under $15: a flat $2.95.
- $15 and up: 20% of the sale price. Payment processing is included.
- Shipping: the buyer pays a flat rate for a prepaid label up to 5 lb. You only pay if you offer a shipping discount or the package is heavier.
- No listing fees. Instant transfers to your bank carry a small fee. Direct deposit is free.
Pricing tip
At $15 the fee jumps from $2.95 to $3.00 and then grows with price. On cheap items, bundling several into one sale keeps more money in your pocket.
