Estimated net profit
Standard US Poshmark commission: $2.95 on a sale under $15, or 20% at $15 or more. Official Poshmark seller FAQ, read 2026-10-16. Same item cost and packaging/other cost as the calculator above. Poshmark delivery and extras are separate. eBay Store subscriptions are not allocated. Sale likelihood, audience, returns, optional advertising and buyer charges are not predicted.
Two different fee bases
For ordinary clothing with no Store, eBay takes 13.6% of the supported fee base up to $7,500 per item, then 2.35% of the portion above it, plus an order fee. Shipping and sales tax generally enter that base. Basic and higher Store rates differ. Poshmark’s US seller FAQ states a $2.95 commission for sales under $15 and 20% for sales of $15 or more. This comparison uses one item’s sale price for Poshmark commission and keeps buyer-paid label charges outside seller revenue.
A $20 clothing sale, with the same delivery cost
With $0 buyer shipping and tax, eBay no-Store fees are $3.12. Poshmark commission is $4.00. At an $8 item cost, $1 packing cost and $5 seller-paid delivery on each platform, estimated profit is $2.88 on eBay and $2.00 on Poshmark. If the Poshmark buyer pays the standard label and you contribute $0 instead, that Poshmark estimate becomes $7.00. That difference comes from who pays shipping, not from a lower commission.
The $15 boundary matters for low-price items
| Sale price | Poshmark commission | eBay clothing, no Store |
|---|---|---|
| $10.00 | $2.95 | $1.66 |
| $14.99 | $2.95 | $2.44 |
| $15.00 | $3.00 | $2.44 |
These three fee-only cases have no buyer shipping, tax, advertising or extras. Profit still requires your item, delivery and packing costs. The calculator rounds monetary fees to cents.
Use the comparison within its limits
This is not a recommendation to list on the platform with the largest displayed profit. Achievable prices, buyer demand, time to sell, returns, allowed items, authentication rules and optional promotions can change the outcome. The comparison supports a single item and $0 buyer-paid shipping on eBay so it does not silently equate the platforms’ different shipping flows. Enter separate Poshmark seller delivery contributions and known extras. Bundles and unsupported eBay orders do not receive a comparison.
