Poshmark vs. eBay: Complete Breakdown
Choosing the right marketplaces to sell your items can significantly affect your success as an online seller. In this section, we'll provide a detailed comparison between Poshmark and eBay, helping you determine which platform best suits your selling needs.
Target Demographics
Poshmark primarily attracts a younger, trendier audience with a strong focus on women. The majority of Poshmark users are between 18-35 years old and female, and the platform is particularly popular among those interested in secondhand fashion, luxury items, and trendy clothing.
eBay's user base is much broader and more diverse in terms of age and interests. eBay attracts a global audience, including buyers and sellers of all ages with a wide range of interests. The marketplace is popular among collectors, hobbyists, and those looking for both new and used items across various categories.
Sellers focused on fashion and lifestyle items might prefer Poshmark due to its targeted demographic. However, those looking to reach a more diverse and global audience might find eBay's broader user base more advantageous.
Popular Product Categories
The range of selling categories varies by marketplace. On Poshmark, you can sell men’s, women’s, and children’s fashion, select home items, pet items, and small electronics. On eBay, you can sell almost anything, so long as it is not illegal.
The top-selling categories on Poshmark include:
- Fashion: Women's clothing, men's clothing, shoes, accessories,
- Beauty: Including makeup, skincare, haircare, and more
- Home Goods: Home decor

- Fashion: clothing and apparel
- Home Decor and household items

Ease of Use
Poshmark offers the simplest interface. It is designed to be intuitive and user-friendly, especially for those new to selling online. The platform's focus on simplicity makes it easy for users to list items quickly. Poshmark also offers resources like blogs and tutorials to help sellers succeed.
eBay’s interface is much more complex, reflecting the platform’s broader range of features and selling options. While eBay offers extensive tools for sellers, such as eBay Product Research, the learning curve can be steeper for beginners. However, eBay provides detailed guides and seller tools to help users navigate the platform.
💡Tip: Do not be intimidated by eBay’s complexities; those complexities are opportunities to increase sales to the largest audience.
Listing Process
Listing an item on Poshmark is straightforward. Sellers take photos, add a description, set a price, and select shipping options. The platform guides users through each step, making the process quick and easy.
👀 Did you know that the entire listing description is searchable on Poshmark? That means every word you enter in your Posh description helps your items to yield in relevant searches.
Listing on eBay requires more detailed information, including selecting item categories, executing item specifics, setting auction or buy-it-now prices, and creating and applying business profiles for payments, shipping, and returns. The eBay listing form is much more complex, but truly helps interested buyers to find your items.
💡Tip: Both Poshmark and eBay allow for listing videos in addition to product photos. Both marketplaces provide stats that listings with videos are significantly more likely to sell!
While Poshmark’s listing process is simpler and faster, eBay’s process, while more detailed and complex, allows for greater customization and control over listings.
Fees and Costs
Poshmark and eBay offer similar fees, but it is tough to compare due to eBay's complex fee structure.
eBay fees might be slightly lower than Poshmark fees, under some circumstances.
Here is a breakdown of Poshmark fees and eBay fees:
Poshmark Fees: How Much Does Poshmark Take?
Poshmark fees are 20% of the sale price or a flat $2.95 fee for all items sold for less than $15.
Poshmark fees are straightforward. There are no fees to list and separate payment processing fees- only the 20% selling fee upon sale. However, it is best to list items that you can sell for at least $15. If you sell an item for $3 on Poshmark, you make $0.05.
💡Tip: Learn more about Poshmark fees in the article Poshmark Selling Fees: How Much Does Poshmark Take?

eBay Fees: How Much Does eBay Take?
eBay fees are the most difficult to ascertain. They truly cannot be estimated due to all the factors contributing to them.
For a super rough estimate, consider eBay fees between 15-20%. Here are some of the various eBay selling fees:
- eBay Insertion Fees: Without an eBay Store Subscription, you can list up to 250 monthly items for free. Thereafter, you will incur an insertion fee of $0.35 per listing (for most categories).
- eBay Store Subscription Fees (optional) There are various types of eBay store subscriptions, each with a different monthly rate. Of course, there is a fee if you have a store, but it also affects your insertion fees and final value fees.
- eBay Final Value Fees: eBay final value fees are the fees charged at the final sale price. This fee is calculated as a percentage based on the total sale amount plus a $.30 payment processing fee per order. Note that the total amount of your sale includes the item price, handling charges, and shipping services that are selected by customers.
💡Tip: For example, eBay charges a final value fee of 13.25% plus $0.30 for most clothing categories.
- Other eBay Fees: There are several other fees that you may or may not be subjected to, including promotional fees. It’s not likely that you will make a high volume of daily sales without promoting your listings. A major eBay seller would say this is part of the fee because it is not optional. Depending on the rate at which you promote your listings, your total fees can exceed 20%.
eBay fees are complicated. We could write an entire blog about eBay selling fees; in fact, we did! Check out the article eBay Fee Calculator: How Much Does eBay Take & How to Save
If you sell a pair of jeans on eBay for $20 you will make $13.98 after fees under the following parameters:
- An eBay seller with a basic store and a rating of “above standard”
- The buyer pays $5.99 for shipping (actual cost)
- Buyer paid $0 in sales tax
- The transaction is within the United States
- The listing was promoted at 10%
Poshmark's fees are straightforward but potentially higher, especially for lower-priced items. eBay’s fees can vary widely based on the item category and seller’s choices, making it difficult to calculate potential profits.
Buyer-Seller Communication Tools
Poshmark provides a simple messaging system within the app, allowing buyers and sellers to communicate directly about items, offers, and orders. Buyers can also communicate via comments on listings or even comments within a bundle (like a shopping cart) they have curated. The private “message” feature on Poshmark is unavailable until a sale occurs.
eBay offers a more robust messaging system with options for sellers to communicate with buyers through messages, emails, and even order-specific notes. Sellers can also send offers directly to interested buyers.
eBay’s communication tools are more versatile and suited for handling a high volume of transactions. Poshmark’s tools are simple but effective for the platform’s social-commerce approach.
Negotiations and Offers
Poshmark allows buyers to offer items, and sellers can accept, decline, or counteroffer. Sellers can also send offers to “likers” in bulk or individually. This process is straightforward and integrated into the platform’s social features.
eBay offers similar flexibility, with buyers able to make offers on buy-it-now items and sellers able to accept, decline, or counter. Sellers can also send offers to “watchers” but on a limited basis, to only the newest watchers. Additionally, eBay's auction feature allows buyers to bid on items, which can increase the final sale price.
Both platforms offer easy-to-use negotiation tools, but eBay’s auction option adds an extra layer of flexibility for sellers looking to maximize their profits.
Shipping
Poshmark offers the simplest shipping for sellers, offering only a flat-rate shipping option. The platform provides a prepaid shipping label for USPS, and the cost is typically paid by the buyer. While this is simple, it does not allow the seller much control over shipping and handling.
eBay offers multiple shipping options, including USPS, UPS, and FedEx, giving sellers flexibility in choosing the best shipping method. Sellers can also offer free shipping or pass the cost to buyers. eBay allows sellers to create shipping profiles with their desired carriers, charges (calculated or flat), handling time, handling fees, and more. eBay sellers can purchase shipping labels directly from eBay or facilitate shipping on their own.
👀 Did you know that eBay offers the simplest global shipping of any marketplace? You simply ship to the eBay Global shipping hub in the U.S. From there, they handle the packaging, customs, and international shipping. They also handle returns.
In comparison, eBay offers far superior, albeit far more complex, shipping offers for sellers. Poshmark’s shipping process is simpler but less flexible, while eBay offers more options, making it better suited for sellers shipping a wide range of items. Poshmark also allows only national shipping, while eBay provides for global shipping.
Returns
Poshmark does not allow returns unless the item is not as described (wrong item sent, undisclosed damage, not authentic, etc.). To attempt a return, a buyer must open a Poshmark case and submit photographic evidence to support their claim. Within the formal case, the buyer, seller, and Poshmark can all communicate back and forth to “hash it out.”
In my experience, Poshmark is certainly not quick to respond, but it is the fairest platform. While other platforms have a reputation for “always siding with the buyer,” Poshmark is fairly true to it’s return policy.
eBay allows sellers to set their return policies, including whether they accept returns, the return window, and who pays for return shipping. However, eBay’s buyer protection program may override seller policies in certain situations.
While you don’t have to allow returns on eBay, most top sellers would argue that you basically do. To become a member of the eBay Top Rated Seller Plus program, you have to offer free returns. Even if you aren’t interested in achieving that milestone, failing to offer returns can be very risky for eBay sellers. Basically- if your buyer wants a return, they’re going to get one. To circumvent your “no return” policy, buyers may open an “INAD” (item not as described return claim) and eBay will likely side with the buyer. Yes- even if your item is exactly as described, the eBay buyer is always right. You are highly unlikely to “win” a case on eBay.
When a buyer successfully opens an INAD claim, you must accept the return, pay the return shipping, and have an infraction on your account. So, you might as well offer free returns because either way, a determined buyer will force one upon you.
As such, most high-volume eBay sellers accept returns.
In comparison, Poshmark has a superior return policy. On Poshmark, a buyer simply cannot return an item if it doesn’t fit or if they changed their mind, while on eBay, they basically can.
Payment Methods
Poshmark accepts credit/debit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Venmo, and PayPal. The transactions are secure, and buyers can choose their preferred payment method at checkout.
eBay accepts a wide range of payment methods, including credit/debit cards, PayPal, Apple Pay, and more. eBay’s managed payments system handles all transactions securely.
Both platforms offer secure and convenient payment options, but eBay’s wider range of accepted payment methods provides greater flexibility for buyers.
Payout Process
On Poshmark, sellers receive their earnings once the buyer has received and accepted the item or three days after delivery, whichever comes first. The funds are deposited into the seller’s Poshmark account and can be withdrawn to a bank account, typically taking 2-5 business days.
eBay processes payouts daily or weekly, depending on the seller’s preference. Once an item is marked as delivered, eBay releases the funds to the seller’s bank account, with processing typically taking 1-5 business days. On eBay, several factors can affect the fund distribution status, such as subscription type.
Both marketplaces offer efficient payout processes, but eBay’s ability to choose the payout schedule gives sellers more control over their cash flow.
Pros and Cons of Selling on Poshmark
Let’s explore the pros and cons of selling on Poshmark. By understanding the platform's benefits and challenges, you'll be better equipped to decide if it's the right choice for your reselling business.
Poshmark Pros
- Bundling: Poshmark is a great place to bundle items because there is an easy system for buyers to purchase multiple items at once from the same seller. This provides a cost-effective way for a buyer to reduce shipping costs and a convenient way for a seller to upsell.
- Live Selling: The introduction of Poshmark live sales has provided a world of opportunity and profit for many Poshmark sellers. On Poshmark, you can go live to auction items in a social, interactive, fast-paced environment. This is appealing for sellers looking to skip the traditional drafting-and-listing process and sell many units quickly.
- Shipping: If you're looking for the best shipping option, look no further than Poshmark. Because of the shipping price, Poshmark is hands down the best platform to sell bulky items that weigh more than a pound. All you have to do is print out the label and drop off the package at your nearest Post Office.
💡Tip: Poshmark sellers can use free USPS Priority Mail supplies because Poshmark labels qualify. Find them at the post office or order them for free to your door!
- Returns: Selling on Poshmark makes returns easy. Poshmark handles all returns and even pays for return shipping. So, if a buyer requests a return, Poshmark will take care of it for you.
Poshmark Cons
- High Selling Fees: Compared to all other reselling online platforms, Poshmark has the highest selling fee, which is a 20% commission on items that sell for over $15. If your item sells for under $15, then Poshmark charges a $2.95 flat fee.
- Shipping Costs: Poshmark is a great platform for selling clothes, but the shipping costs can be a real pain for sellers trying to move smaller items. The $8 shipping fee is a con when selling small items that weigh less than a pound, and it can eat into your profits. As a seller, you can offer your customers discounted shipping or free shipping, but for sellers who are trying to move smaller items, the $8 shipping fee can be a real deterrent.
- Social Engagement Requirement: Poshmark is a social platform, which means that most sellers have to be active on the platform to see more sales. You can do more than just share your listings and respond to questions – you can also share other people’s listings, attend Poshmark virtual parties, and list and relist items frequently. The more you engage with the Poshmark community, the more likely you are to see success as a seller.
- Payout Process: You have to wait to get paid. Once the buyer receives your package and has accepted the item, your earnings will be automatically deposited into your Poshmark account. Buyers have up to three days to accept the item, and after that, the funds are automatically released to you, the seller. Depositing your Poshmark earnings into your bank account typically takes 2-5 business days.
Pros and Cons of Selling on eBay
Let’s explore the pros and cons of selling on eBay to help you better understand the selling experience.
eBay Pros
- Seller Tools: As an eBay seller, you have access to a range of selling tools that can help you increase sales and boost your business. For example, you can send fixed or percentage-based coupons to potential or existing customers, run a sale, or even send a weekly or monthly newsletter to your existing customer base. You’ll also have access to comps and sales data via eBay Product Research. These tools allow you to research what your competitors are doing, how they're doing it, and how you can improve your own listings.
- Audience: eBay offers the largest buyer audience in the world. It is the go-to marketplace for buying and selling just about anything.
- Purchase Options: eBay first became famous for its auctions and has remained the top auction marketplace on the web ever since. To be clear, this does not refer to “live actions” but rather auction-style “still listings.” This gives you much more flexibility as a seller--you can put items up for auction to get a higher price. The option to set a reserve price ensures that you won't sell something for a fraction of what it's worth.
- Global Shipping: If you're looking to sell beyond the bounds of the United States, then eBay's Global Shipping Program is a must. With eBay's Global Shipping Program, you can reach buyers in over 180 countries and territories, and eBay will take care of all the shipping details for you. All you have to do is ship the item to eBay's global shipping hub in Kentucky and they'll take care of customs forms, international shipping, and any possible issues that may arise.
eBay Cons
- Fees: The eBay fee scale is complex and confusing, as it varies depending on the type of item you list, the selling price, and whether or not you have an eBay store. So calculating your net profit for an item can be challenging, especially for new sellers. Also, promoting your listing cost money. These fees add up over time, taking away from the profit. With that in mind, if your profit is minimal, you'll either need to increase the volume of items you are selling or find products with better profit.
- Complex Listing Details: If you're used to the streamlined simplicity of Poshmark, listing on eBay can feel a bit overwhelming. You have to provide quite a bit of information about your item, including multiple photos from different angles.
- Customer Feedback: When you're selling on eBay, you're always at the mercy of your customers. If they leave you negative feedback or file for an INAD ("item not as described") claim, it will positively affect your Seller Forecast, fees, and sales.
- Buyers Can Backout: When you list an item on eBay, you hope that someone will make an offer and you can sell it for a good price. But what happens when someone makes an offer and you accept it? The buyer has up to three days to make a payment, and if they don't, you can cancel the transaction without it being counted as a strike against your seller profile. That means that, as the seller, you're essentially waiting on pins and needles for the payment. And if it doesn't, you lost an opportunity for that item to sell while it was pending.
Is it better to sell on eBay or Poshmark?
It's best to sell on both! Take advantage of maximum exposure and enjoy both Poshmark and eBay's audience by crosslisting!
There’s no denying that both eBay and Poshmark are the best marketplaces for reselling new or secondhand items. But when it comes to deciding which one is best for you, it really depends on your selling style, goals, and how much time you're willing to invest.
If you're looking for simplicity, ease of use, and a fashion-focused audience, Poshmark is the clear winner. Its app-based design, built-in community features, and streamlined shipping process make it incredibly user-friendly, perfect for casual sellers or those focused primarily on clothing and accessories.
On the other hand, if you're willing to put in a bit more effort for the opportunity to reach a global audience and scale your reselling business, eBay might be the better fit. With its advanced listing tools, massive buyer base, and flexibility across categories, eBay gives sellers the potential to build a serious reselling operation.
The truth is, there’s no wrong answer! Many resellers sell on both marketplaces to diversify their reach and boost sales. If you’re considering that route, crosslisting software like Vendoo can help you list on both eBay and Poshmark in seconds.

Poshmark Reviews: Is Poshmark Worth It?
Resellers love Poshmark! Many online sellers report that it is their best and favorite marketplace. Sellers love its user-friendly interface, fast listing process, and built-in community of buyers. The platform's flat-rate shipping and bundled selling options make it especially appealing for those selling clothing, shoes, and accessories.
In analyzing Poshmark reviews, most are positive. That said, the most common complaints are about high selling fees and slower customer support. Poshmark’s 20% selling fee on items over $15 can feel steep, especially for lower-priced inventory. While the platform is simple to use, consistent sales often require regular activity like sharing, listing, and engaging with others. Most successful sellers agree that Poshmark is worth it if you’re focused on fashion, willing to stay active on the app, and strategic with pricing. For those who want to scale or sell on multiple marketplaces, tools like Vendoo can help streamline the process and make Poshmark even more profitable.
👀 Did you know that you can automate sending offers to likers and Poshmark sharing with Vendoo?
eBay Reviews: Is eBay Worth It?
eBay is the largest and most established peer-to-peer selling platform in the world—and for many resellers, it’s absolutely worth it. With over 130 million active buyers across 180 countries, eBay offers unmatched reach and the ability to sell almost anything. Sellers praise eBay’s powerful tools, customizable listings, and access to international markets, making it a top choice for those looking to grow and scale their reselling business.
However, eBay does come with a learning curve. The platform's fee structure is complex, the listing process is highly detailed, and customer expectations are higher, especially when it comes to returns and communication. Still, the profit potential is huge. Many full-time resellers rely on eBay as their primary source of income. For those willing to invest time into learning the marketplace, optimize their listings, and take advantage of automation tools like Vendoo, eBay can be one of the most rewarding places to sell online.
Do clothes sell faster on eBay or Poshmark?
The short answer: both—but it depends on what you're selling and how you're pricing it.
eBay has a massive global audience, which means your listings have the potential to be seen by millions. If you're selling high-demand brands and pricing your items competitively, you might see faster sales on eBay simply because of the sheer traffic volume. This is especially true for items with broad appeal, international shipping potential, or strong SEO-friendly titles.
However, Poshmark was built specifically for fashion. It’s a curated, social shopping experience where users actively browse with style in mind. Poshmark buyers tend to be more fashion-focused and engaged with the app’s community-based features like likes, shares, and offers. So, if your listings are trendy, well-photographed, optimized with style words, and priced to move, Poshmark is often the better bet for clothing sales!
Ultimately, the best platform is the one where your items and audience align. Many sellers crosslist on both to maximize visibility and increase their chances of a quick sale.

Poshmark vs. eBay FAQ
What are the key differences between selling on Poshmark and eBay?
Poshmark is a fashion-focused marketplace known for its user-friendly interface and streamlined selling process, ideal for clothing, accessories, and lifestyle goods. eBay, on the other hand, offers global reach and supports almost any product category, making it more versatile but also more complex. Poshmark is easier to learn, while eBay offers more tools, customization, and scalability for experienced sellers. For best results, crosslist to sell on both!
Is Poshmark or eBay better for selling clothes and fashion?
Both marketplaces are excellent for selling fashion, but Poshmark was built with clothing in mind. It’s curated for fashion shoppers and features social elements like likes, shares, and styling. If you're selling trend-driven, mall-brand, or boutique fashion, Poshmark is likely your best bet. That said, eBay’s massive audience can be a goldmine if your listings are competitively priced and SEO-optimized.
Which marketplace has lower fees, Poshmark or eBay?
Poshmark has a straightforward 20% commission on sales over $15 (or $2.95 for sales under $15), while eBay’s fees vary based on category, seller level, and whether you're promoting listings. In many cases, eBay’s fees fall between 15–20%, but the structure can be confusing. Poshmark may seem higher, but the predictability is appealing to many sellers.
Is it easier to list items on Poshmark or eBay?
Poshmark is much easier for beginners. The listing process is simple and intuitive: snap a photo, write a quick description, set your price, and you're done. eBay offers more listing options—like auctions and international shipping—but that comes with a steeper learning curve and more detailed item specifics.
Can I sell on both Poshmark and eBay at the same time?
Yes! Many sellers crosslist their items on both platforms to increase exposure and sales. Using a tool like Vendoo makes it easy to manage inventory, avoid double-selling, and list items across multiple marketplaces quickly.
How does crosslisting with Vendoo help increase sales?
Yes! Vendoo allows sellers to list their inventory on multiple marketplaces (like Poshmark and eBay) with just a few clicks. This increases visibility, helps reach more buyers, and minimizes the time spent creating listings manually. It also helps prevent overselling by keeping your listings in sync across platforms.
Does Vendoo automatically delist sold items from other marketplaces?
Yes! When you mark an item as sold in Vendoo (or it sells on a connected marketplace), Vendoo will automatically remove it from your other active listings, preventing overselling and helping you stay organized. This means that if you sell an item on Poshmark, Vendoo will remove it from eBay so you don't sell it twice!
Which marketplace has faster payouts—eBay or Poshmark?
That's a tough answer- it's about the same. eBay offers customizable payout options (daily or weekly), and funds are typically released once the item is marked as delivered. Poshmark releases funds three days after delivery or once the buyer accepts the item, and you can cashout your balance any time.
What types of products sell best on Poshmark vs. eBay?
Poshmark is best for fashion, accessories, beauty items, and curated lifestyle goods. eBay supports nearly every product category, including electronics, collectibles, car parts, and industrial items. If your inventory includes a mix of niche or non-fashion items, eBay is a better option.
How does shipping work differently on eBay vs. Poshmark?
Poshmark uses a flat-rate USPS shipping label for all orders, which is simple but inflexible. eBay allows sellers to choose from multiple carriers (USPS, UPS, FedEx), set their shipping rates, and offer global shipping. While eBay’s options are more complicated, they also allow for more control and cost-efficiency.
