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.

How TikTok Shop fees work
- Referral fee = rate x (customer payment + platform discount - tax); the customer payment includes shipping paid by the buyer.
- 6% for most categories. 5% for Diamond, Gold, Jade, Platinum/Carat Gold and Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald jewelry. Other jewelry stays at 6%.
- Collectibles: 6%, and 3% on the portion of the sale above $10,000. Pre-Owned: 5%, and 3% on the portion above $10,000.
- Platform-funded discounts are not modelled; enter the amount the buyer paid as sale_price.
- Affiliate (creator) commission is set per product by the seller; it is applied here to the item sale price.
