Understanding Poshmark Shipping
Poshmark simplifies shipping with a flat $7.97 rate paid by buyers, covering Priority Mail up to 5 lbs. Sellers receive the prepaid label automatically after a sale.
The 5 lb limit is strictly enforced. USPS weighs packages, and overweight items get returned with postage due notices.
When to Upgrade and Bundle
Over 5 lbs: Pay the $4.99 upgrade for 5-10 lb allowance. For heavy items, suggest bundle purchases to maximize the 5 lb allowance value.
Pro Tips to Save More
Weigh Items Before Listing
Include weight in your pricing strategy. A 4.8 lb item leaves almost no margin for packaging.
Lightweight Packaging
Poly mailers keep you under the 5 lb limit - they weigh ounces versus pounds for boxes.
Frequently Asked Questions
- No, buyers pay $7.97 flat rate. Sellers pay only if upgrading for packages over 5 lbs.
