Poshmark's current U.S. seller fee uses two tiers. For sales under $15, Poshmark takes a flat $2.95. For sales of $15 and above, the fee is 20% of the sale price.
The threshold matters. A low sale can lose a large share to the flat fee, while reaching $15 switches to the percentage tier. Seller-funded shipping discounts and cost of goods reduce profit beyond the platform fee.
How the two tiers compare
At $10, the $2.95 fee equals 29.5% of revenue. At $14.99, the flat fee is about 19.7%. At $15, the 20% tier produces a $3 fee. Check nearby prices before accepting an offer.
- Under $15: $2.95 flat fee
- $15 and above: 20% of sale price
- No separate payment-processing line in the basic formula
- Shipping discounts reduce seller earnings separately
Closet revenue is not closet profit
Track what each item cost, the share of sourcing travel or supplies you assign, seller-paid shipping promotions, and packaging. Poshmark's displayed net earnings are closer to payout than complete business profit.
Bundle offers need item-level discipline
Bundles can reduce fulfillment friction and move inventory, but a large discount may hide unprofitable items. Add the combined cost basis and use the 20% tier on the final bundle sale price before accepting.
Use target price for negotiation
Work backward from the dollar profit you want. The calculator solves for a target sale price under the selected costs, letting you set a listing price and offer floor with room for negotiation.
