How much does Poshmark take?
Poshmark takes a flat $2.95 on any sale under $15, and 20% of the sale on anything $15 or higher. So if you sell a top for $10, Poshmark keeps $2.95 and you get $7.05. Sell a sweater for $50 and Poshmark keeps $10, leaving you $40 before your own costs. That's the whole commission. There's no listing fee, no monthly fee, and no separate payment processing fee added on after.
The part sellers miss is what that one fee actually buys. The same 20% (or $2.95) covers the card processing, Poshmark's seller protection, and a prepaid USPS Priority label for the buyer, all bundled in. On eBay, Etsy or Mercari those are usually three separate charges. The buyer pays for shipping directly at checkout, so shipping isn't deducted from your payout and it isn't part of the fee math. If you're a Canadian seller it works the same way, with a C$3.95 flat fee under C$20 and 20% above, plus your provincial tax charged on top of the Poshmark fee. The calculator above does the full sum and shows what you actually keep.
A heads-up on stale numbers: many competing pages still cite an old 5.99% seller fee plus a Buyer Protection Fee. That was a three-week experiment in October 2024 that Poshmark reverted on 24 Oct 2024. The live model is the $2.95 / 20% one above, verified 28 Jun 2026.

|---|---|---|
| Under $15 (CA: under C$20) | $2.95 flat | C$3.95 flat |
| $15 and up (CA: C$20 and up) | 20% | 20% |

How Poshmark seller fees work
Poshmark's whole model is one commission with a flat-fee floor. Here's what that one fee is, what it includes, what it isn't charged on, and how Canada differs, so the number above is the number you actually keep.
The selling fee: flat $2.95, or 20%
Poshmark charges one selling fee and nothing else. On any sale under $15 it is a flat $2.95. On any sale of $15 or more it is 20% of the listing price. So a $12 sale costs you $2.95, and a $40 sale costs you $8.00. That single fee is the entire commission. There is no listing fee, no monthly subscription, and no per-order fee on top.
What that one fee includes
Unlike most marketplaces, the Poshmark fee bundles three things into the one charge: payment processing (there's no separate card or PayPal fee), Posh Protect seller and buyer protection, and a prepaid USPS Priority Mail label for the buyer. On eBay, Etsy or Mercari you'd usually pay processing and shipping separately. On Poshmark they're already inside the $2.95 or the 20%. That's the point most sellers miss when they compare a flat 20% here to 20% somewhere else.
Shipping is paid by the buyer, not you
The buyer pays a flat shipping rate to Poshmark at checkout, and standard shipping up to the weight limit costs you, the seller, nothing. Because of that, shipping is not deducted from your payout and it is not part of the fee. Don't add the buyer's shipping into the fee math, and don't pad your price to cover postage, because it's already handled.
No listing, monthly or processing fees
Poshmark doesn't charge to list an item, there's no monthly seller subscription, and there's no standalone payment processing fee. The flat $2.95 or the 20% is all you pay. If a calculator or article shows a 5.99% seller fee plus a Buyer Protection Fee, it's describing a model Poshmark tried for three weeks in October 2024 and then reverted on 24 Oct 2024.
Canada: C$3.95 / 20%, plus tax on the fee
Canadian sellers follow the same shape with two differences. The flat fee is C$3.95 and the threshold is C$20 (under C$20 is the flat fee, C$20 and up is 20%). On top of that, GST/HST is charged on the Poshmark fee and paid by the seller at your province's rate: 5% in GST-only provinces like Alberta, 13% in Ontario, 15% in the Maritimes, with Quebec adding QST. So a C$60 Ontario sale is a C$12.00 fee plus 13% of that C$12.00 in tax (C$1.56), for C$13.56 in total. This province surcharge is a labeled estimate until verified against a real CA payout, so verify on launch.
Real Poshmark sale examples
$10 tee, no item cost
Under $15, so the flat fee applies: Poshmark keeps $2.95 and you net $7.05. Note the flat fee bites hardest on cheap items. $2.95 on a $10 sale is an effective 29.5% rate, far more than the 20% you'd pay higher up.
$12 top, item cost $3
Still under $15, so the flat $2.95 applies. Net payout is $12.00 minus $2.95, which is $9.05, then take off your $3 cost and you're left with $6.05 profit. That's about a 50% margin on the sale and roughly a 202% return on what you paid for the item.
$50 sweater, item cost $20
At $15 and up the fee is 20%. 20% of $50 is $10.00, so your net payout is $40.00, then minus your $20 cost leaves $20.00 profit. That's a 40% margin and a 100% return on cost. Shipping is the buyer's, so it never enters this math.
$200 designer item, cost $80
20% of $200 is $40.00 in fees, so your net payout is $160.00, then take off your $80 cost and you keep $80.00. That's a 40% margin and a 100% return on cost. The flat-fee floor never comes into play above $15. It's a clean 20%.
The $15 quirk: a $15 sale nets less than a $14.99 sale
Here's something almost no other calculator tells you. Because the fee switches from a flat $2.95 to a straight 20% at exactly $15, there's a small dead zone right at the line.
| List price | Fee | You keep |
|---|---|---|
| $14.99 | $2.95 flat | $12.04 |
| $15.00 | $3.00 (20%) | $12.00 |
Raising your price by a penny costs you four cents. The break-even point, where the flat fee and the 20% leave you the same amount, is $14.75. Above that, the 20% net doesn't catch back up to the $12.04 you'd keep at $14.99 until about $15.05, so the window where you keep less by pricing higher is narrow but real.
The practical move is simple: if your item lands near $15, list it at $14.99 to stay in the flat-fee tier rather than nudging it up to $15. The penny under the line keeps more in your pocket.
What counts as a good profit on Poshmark?
There's no official "good" margin, but the math on Poshmark is simpler than most marketplaces because there's only one fee and the buyer covers shipping. Your profit is your sale price, minus the Poshmark fee (the flat $2.95 or 20%), minus what the item cost you. That's it. You don't subtract shipping, because the buyer pays it, and you don't subtract processing or listing fees, because there aren't any.
The calculator gives you three numbers to judge a sale by. Net payout is what Poshmark deposits, your sale minus the fee. Profit takes off what you paid for the item. Margin is that profit as a share of the sale, and ROI measures it against what you spent to source the piece. Watch the flat fee on cheap items: that $2.95 is fixed, so it's a small slice of a $40 sale but nearly a third of a $10 one. Fast-moving stock can work on a thin margin because you turn it over quickly. Slower pieces need a fatter one to earn their space. Use the breakeven price the calculator gives you as your floor, then price above it by the margin you want.
How to pay less in Poshmark fees
- ✓Watch the $15 line. A $14.99 sale keeps more than a $15.00 sale because of the flat-fee tier, so price just under $15 rather than right at it.
- ✓Bundle your listings. Poshmark charges the selling fee once on the combined bundle total, not per item, so two $10 tops sold as one $20 bundle is a single 20% fee instead of two flat $2.95 fees.
- ✓Mind the flat fee on cheap items. The flat $2.95 is a fixed cost, so it's 29.5% of a $10 sale but a much smaller slice of a $40 one. Group low-value pieces rather than selling them one at a time.
- ✓Don't pad your price for shipping. The buyer pays shipping directly and a label is already included in the fee, so building postage into your price just makes the item harder to sell.
- ✓Canadian sellers, your province sets the tax on the fee. A 5% GST province keeps more than a 15% HST province, so factor your local rate into your floor price.

What are Poshmark's fees under $15?

Poshmark vs Mercari fees?

Poshmark's rate is higher but more bundled. Mercari's headline rate is lower. Confirm Mercari's current rate before relying on it; verify on launch.
Is shipping a Poshmark fee?
No. Shipping is paid by the buyer directly to Poshmark at checkout, and standard shipping up to the weight limit costs the seller nothing. A prepaid label is already included in your selling fee. So shipping is not deducted from your payout and it's not part of the fee math.
What percentage does Poshmark take?
Poshmark takes 20% on any sale of $15 or more. Below $15 it's a flat $2.95 instead of a percentage, which works out to a higher effective rate on cheap items: $2.95 on a $10 sale is 29.5%. The 20% rate is the same in the US and Canada.
How are Poshmark fees different in Canada?
Canada uses the same shape with a C$3.95 flat fee and a C$20 threshold instead of $2.95 and $15. On top of that, GST or HST is charged on the Poshmark fee and paid by the seller at your province's rate, from 5% in Alberta to 15% in the Maritimes. Verify the province mechanics on launch.
How do I calculate my Poshmark profit?
