Can You Only Sell Clothes on Poshmark?

Poshmark has become a very popular online selling platform in recent years. However, something that I have wondered is if clothing is the only thing Poshmark allows.

So, can you only sell clothes on Poshmark? Poshmark is an online marketplace for men’s, women’s, and kids clothing and accessories. Sellers are prohibited from selling any items outside of that category. In fact, people who repeatedly list items outside this category risk permanent suspension from Poshmark.

This is what makes Poshmark very different from most other online marketplaces. Instead of opening up their site to every random thing you can find, they specifically only allow clothing and accessories.

Poshmark’s fee structure is very easy to understand, unlike a lot of other selling platforms. Here is how it works:

For sales under $15, you pay a flat fee of $2.95 to Poshmark and keep the rest.

For sales over $15, Poshmark gets 20% of the sale price and you keep 80%.

That’s it! It doesn’t get much simpler than that! Poshmark provides you with a free pre-paid shipping label, free credit card processing, and free customer support.

On of the other really nice things about Poshmark is, because their fee structure is so simple, they will tell you right up front how much money you’ll make on an item when you list it.

When you’re filling out the description of your item, at the very bottom where you set the price, Poshmark will give you a snap shot of your earnings on that item. The number will adjust as you change the price so that you can get as much out of an item as you’d like:

Here is a chart that shows how much money you can make depending on how much you sell your items for: Selling priceYour earnings$5.00$2.50$10.00$7.05$15.00$12.00$20.0016.00$25.00$20.00 $30.00$24.00$35.0028.00$40.00$32.00$45.00$36.00
