Poshmark automatically deducts a fee from every sale: $2.95 for sales under $15, or 20% of the sale price for sales of $15 or more — and sellers receive the remainder.

The commission structure defines the economic terms under which sellers conduct transactions on the Poshmark marketplace and directly determines the net proceeds sellers receive from each sale. This fee mechanism is foundational to the commercial relationship between the platform and its seller participants.
Poshmark's Terms of Service underwent a substantial update on April 19, 2026, with 249 new sentences and 3 modified sentences. The specific operational changes created by these additions cannot be determined from the detection summary alone. All users should review the updated terms at Poshmark's website to identify any new policies, requirements, restrictions, or disclosures that affect their use of the platform.
View change record →Poshmark's updated Privacy Policy provides substantially more transparency about the personal data it collects (including name, address, payment details, and content you create), how it uses and shares that information, and the legal bases for processing. The policy now explicitly covers data collected across websites, mobile apps, and other platforms, and identifies collection points including account registration, purchases, listings, stories, and interactions with other users. California residents are directed to a separate supplemental privacy notice. While this change increases clarity about data practices rather than restricting new data collection, reviewing the specific uses and sharing practices described in the full policy can help you understand what data Poshmark retains and how it may be used.
View change record →Sellers on Poshmark receive only 80% of the sale price for items $15 or more, with Poshmark retaining 20% as a commission before any proceeds are released — a significant financial deduction that compounds on higher-value transactions.

(1) REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: The fee structure engages FTC Act Section 5 (15 U.S.C. §45) with respect to clear and conspicuous disclosure of material transaction costs. The California Automatic Renewal Law (Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code §17600) is not directly implicated as the fee is per-transaction, not subscription-based. However, any failure to adequately disclose the fee pre-transaction could constitute a deceptive practice under state consumer protection statutes. Payment processing aspects may engage Regulation E (12 CFR Part 1005) where seller proceeds are treated as consumer payment accounts. The FTC is the primary enforcement authority. (2)
