How Poshmark fees work
- Sales under $15: flat $2.95 commission. Sales of $15 or more: 20% commission.
- Buyers pay shipping to Poshmark, so shipping_charged is not seller revenue and is not part of the fee.
- Sellers located in Texas also have a Texas Seller Fee Tax deducted from earnings (since October 1, 2025); it is not included here.
