The short answer: Poshmark takes 20% of every sale of $15 or more, and a flat $2.95 on sales under $15. On a $50 sale you keep $40.00. The buyer pays $6.49 for shipping on top, and Poshmark takes nothing from that.

What Poshmark takes at six prices
| Item price | Poshmark takes | You keep |
|---|---|---|
| $10.00 | $2.95 (29.5%) | $7.05 |
| $14.99 | $2.95 (19.7%) | $12.04 |
| $15.00 | $3.00 (20.0%) | $12.00 |
| $25.00 | $5.00 (20.0%) | $20.00 |
| $50.00 | $10.00 (20.0%) | $40.00 |
| $100.00 | $20.00 (20.0%) | $80.00 |
Look at the step at $15. A $14.99 sale leaves you $12.04, and a $15 sale leaves $12.00. Prices just above the line keep less than prices just below it, until about $15.05. On a $10 item the flat fee takes 30% of the sale.

- Texas Seller Fee Tax Tax on 80% of the fee
sellers with a Texas return address, from October 1, 2025; rate = 6.25% state tax + local tax
Checked Oct 23, 2026 on Poshmark's own pages.
The commission is taken from the final order price, after any offer or discount you accept, so a lower offer also means a lower fee.
Shipping: the buyer pays, up to a weight
Poshmark charges the buyer a flat $6.49 per order and emails you a prepaid USPS label. That covers up to 5 lb, including a bundle. Heavier parcels need an upgraded label, and the cost comes out of your earnings: $5.00 for 5.01 to 10 lb, $10.00 for 10.01 to 15 lb.
Cashing out
Direct deposit to your bank is free and takes 2-3 business days. Instant Transfer to a debit card costs $2.00 each time. Moving money to PayPal or Venmo costs $0.35. A mailed check is free but slow.
Texas sellers pay a tax on the fee
Since October 1, 2025, sellers with a Texas return address have Texas sales tax taken on 80% of the Poshmark fee, at the state rate plus local tax. It is a state tax on Poshmark’s fee, not a Poshmark fee, and the local part differs by town, so the calculator leaves it out.
Fees that changed
The current fees have applied since October 24, 2024. Poshmark briefly tried a different seller fee in October 2024, plus a buyer fee, and went back to this structure within weeks. It has charged buyers no fee since then.
