Poshmark Fees — Complete 2026 Guide
Poshmark is a leading social commerce platform for fashion in the US and Canada. Unlike most marketplaces, Poshmark bundles everything — selling fee, payment processing, and the prepaid shipping label — into a single charge. This Poshmark fee calculator shows you exactly what you'll net.
Poshmark's Fee Structure
| Fee Type | Amount | Notes |
|---|
| Items Under $15 | $2.95 flat fee | Covers everything — fee + processing + label |
| Items $15 & Over | 20% of sale price | Flat percentage, no caps |
| Listing Fee | $0.00 | Unlimited free listings |
| Shipping Label | Included in fee | Prepaid label provided by Poshmark |
Key insight: Poshmark's flat $2.95 fee on items under $15 means low-margin items are heavily penalised (29.5% on a $10 item). For best value, price items at $15 or above where the 20% rate kicks in.
