Run your own sale
Fees round half a cent up, which Poshmark does not state. Profit is what you keep, less your item cost and any label upgrade for a package over 5 lb. The buyer’s shipping and sales tax are not part of your sale.
As of Nov 11, 2026, B2B Fees read Poshmark’s fee article and its Fee Policy: a US$40 sale costs US$8.00 in Poshmark’s commission.
US$15 is the line: a flat US$2.95 below it, 20% from it up
Poshmark’s fee page says a sale under US$15 pays a flat US$2.95 and a sale of US$15 or more pays 20%. So the cheapest items give up the biggest share, and a US$14.99 item keeps US$12.04 while a US$15.00 item keeps US$12.00. The first price above the line that keeps what US$14.99 keeps is US$15.05.
| Item price | Poshmark takes | Share of the price | You keep |
|---|---|---|---|
| US$5 | US$2.95 | 59% | US$2.05 |
| US$10 | US$2.95 | 29.5% | US$7.05 |
| US$14.99 | US$2.95 | 19.68% | US$12.04 |
| US$15 | US$3.00 | 20% | US$12.00 |
| US$25 | US$5.00 | 20% | US$20.00 |
| US$50 | US$10.00 | 20% | US$40.00 |

The buyer pays US$6.49 shipping, and you pay none under 5 lb
- Buyer’s shipping: a flat US$6.49 for every order, USPS Ground Advantage (2-5 business days). A bundle pays one US$6.49 up to 5 lb.
- Your label: Poshmark provides it for parcels up to 5 lb, box and packing included. An upgrade costs US$5.00 for 5.01 to 10 lb and US$10.00 for 10.01 to 15 lb; one label on 15.01 to 25 lb costs US$15.00, and more above that (the calculator stops at 25 lb). All of it comes out of your earnings.
- If you do not upgrade: since Oct 26, 2026, the extra postage on a package over 5 lb that ships on a standard label is deducted from your earnings.
- A shipping discount you offer: Poshmark deducts it from your net earnings. We take it off after the commission; Poshmark prints no worked example.
- Which amount the commission uses: Poshmark’s Fee Policy says “the final order price”, and its sales report calls the Order Price “the final sale price for the listing”. It does not say whether shipping counts, so the calculator charges the commission on the item price alone.
Texas sellers pay a second deduction: 21.32% in total on a US$100 sale
From Oct 1, 2025, Poshmark applies the Texas Seller Fee Tax to 80% of the commission on sales by sellers with a Texas return address. The rate is the 6.25% state rate plus your local rate. Poshmark’s own example assumes 2% local, 8.25% in all: on a US$100 sale the commission is US$20.00 and the tax is US$1.32.
| Item price | Commission | Texas tax at 8.25% | Both together | Both as a share |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| US$20 | US$4.00 | US$0.26 | US$4.26 | 21.3% |
| US$50 | US$10.00 | US$0.66 | US$10.66 | 21.32% |
| US$100 | US$20.00 | US$1.32 | US$21.32 | 21.32% |
Under US$15 the flat fee carries the tax too: on a US$10 sale the two together are US$3.14, 31.4% of the sale.
Your own rate depends on where you are. Type it into “Texas sellers: your tax rate” above. The tax is separate from the sales tax buyers pay.
Getting paid: direct deposit is free, Instant Transfer is US$2.00 each time
Direct deposit costs nothing and takes 2-3 business days. A mailed check costs nothing and takes about 2 weeks. Instant Transfer (30 minutes or less) and PayPal or Venmo are flat fees, so what they cost as a share depends on the size of the cash-out.
| Cash-out | Instant Transfer, US$2.00 | PayPal or Venmo, US$0.35 |
|---|---|---|
| US$20 | 10% | 1.75% |
| US$50 | 4% | 0.7% |
| US$100 | 2% | 0.35% |
| US$300 | 0.67% | 0.12% |
A year of Poshmark commission: US$3,840 on 40 sales a month of US$40
Forty sales a month of a US$40 item is 480 sales a year and US$3,840 in commission, 20% of US$19,200. The same 40 sales a month of a US$12 item cost US$1,416, 24.58% of US$5,760.
Other costs, and what Poshmark does not publish
- Sales tax: collected from the buyer and not deducted from your earnings.
- Promoted Closet: a paid tool, charged on clicks to promoted listings. Poshmark prints no price per click.
- Whether shipping counts toward US$15 or the 20%: not stated. Poshmark says estimated earnings are shown when you create a listing; check that figure against this one.
- Rounding: Poshmark does not say how it rounds a fraction of a cent.

How we know
- We read Poshmark’s fee article, Fee Policy, shipping rates, redemption options and Texas Seller Fee Tax pages in a real browser, with the other pages named in the table above, and found every rate unchanged from our first read.
- We first read those pages in a real browser.
The numbers come from the same code as the calculator, tested against hand-worked sales, the US$15 jump, Poshmark’s Texas example and a round trip from a wanted profit back to a price. We made no test sales and compared nothing with a live seller account. Not confirmed: whether shipping counts in the fee, how Poshmark rounds, and the price of a Promoted Closet click. Method: how we check prices.
