FOR POSHMARK SELLERS
Poshmark keeps a flat $2.95 on sales under $15 and 20% of the sale price at $15 or more, so below $14.75 the flat fee costs more than 20% would. Source: Poshmark, "Selling — How Poshmark Works" (US seller fee schedule). As of 2026-10-25.
Poshmark's fee is $2.95 flat under $15, and 20% at $15 or more — a real cliff, not a percentage rate. Below $14.75 the flat fee is worse than 20% would be, and it gets worse the cheaper the item.

Worked example, not your listing yet — a $50 sale with a $15 cost basis.
On Poshmark's published US schedule: sales under $15.00 pay a flat $2.95 fee, and sales of $15.00 or more pay 20% of the sale price. A $50 item pays $10.00 (Poshmark's own worked example) and you keep $40.00. Shipping the buyer pays is a separate flat fee that funds a prepaid label — Poshmark does not take a commission on it.
Only between $14.75 and $14.99. Twenty percent of $14.75 is exactly $2.95 — that is the break-even price. Above it (and still under $15) the flat fee is cheaper than 20% would be. Below $14.75 the flat fee costs more than 20% would, and the gap widens fast: a $10 item pays an effective 29.5% rate, and a $5 item pays 59%.
Usually the opposite. Crossing from the 20% tier down into the flat fee is a one-time reduction in commission, not an increase, because 20% of anything at or above $14.75 is already at least $2.95. Very close to $15 this can even raise your payout on a lower sale price — for example dropping from $15.00 to $14.99 increases what you keep by four cents. The catch is once you are under $15, the fee is fixed, so any further discount comes entirely out of your own payout.
