What Percent Does Poshmark Take?
Above $15, the answer is a clean 20% of the sale. Below $15, there's no percentage at all, Poshmark charges a flat $2.95 no matter the exact price, which means the effective rate on a cheap item can be far higher than 20%.

Why a $5 sale loses 59% and a $16 sale loses 20%
A $2.95 fee is a fixed cost, not a rate, so its bite depends entirely on what it's a fraction of. On a $5 sale it's 59% of the total. On a $14.99 sale, one cent below the threshold, it's still $2.95, just under 20%. Cross $15 by that same cent and the fee jumps to a flat 20% of the whole sale, $3.00, a bigger dollar amount that's actually a lower percentage than what a $14.99 sale just paid.
The crossover point works against sellers right at the edge
Selling for exactly $15 costs $3.00 in fees (20% of $15). Selling for $14.99 costs $2.95, technically less in dollars, but a higher percentage (19.7%) of a smaller sale. There's a narrow band just under $15 where pricing slightly higher, even past $15, barely changes what a seller nets, because the jump to a percentage-based fee offsets most of the price increase.
