Seller Fee and Commission Structure — Poshmark

Share 𝕏 Share in Share 🔒 PDF

What it is

Poshmark takes $2.95 from every sale under $15, and 20% of the total sale price for anything sold at $15 or more.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

On a $50 sale, the seller receives only $40 after Poshmark's 20% commission — users who do not understand this structure may consistently underestimate their net earnings from selling on the platform.

What you can do

⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.

Dispute a Fee

If you believe a commission fee was incorrectly applied to your sale, contact Poshmark Support via the Help Center at poshmark.com/support, provide your order details, and request a fee review.

Why it matters (compliance & risk perspective)

This fee structure directly reduces the money sellers receive and is a primary financial term every seller must understand before listing items on the platform.

View original clause language

For all sales, Poshmark's commission is $2.95 for sales under $15 and 20% for sales of $15 or more.

Institutional analysis (Compliance & legal intelligence)

REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: Marketplace commission structures are subject to FTC Act Section 5 disclosure requirements if not adequately disclosed to sellers prior to listing. California's UCL (Bus. & Prof. Code §17200) prohibits unfair or deceptive business practices in fee disclosure. If Poshmark's payment processing involves holding seller funds, state money transmission laws and FinCEN BSA regulations may be triggered.
