Calculating Your True Profit
Platform fees are only part of the story. Your true profit requires deducting:
- Your purchase price (cost of goods)
- Shipping cost (if you're covering it)
- Packaging materials (boxes, bubble wrap, tape)
- Platform fees (what our calculator shows)
- Income tax on profits (consult a tax professional)
True Profit Example
Sell a jacket on Poshmark for $80 | Purchase price: $20 | Poshmark fee: $16 (20%) | Packaging: $2
True profit: $80 − $16 − $20 − $2 = $42 (52.5% margin)
The $80 sale looks great until you work out the actual profit.
US Tax Reporting for Resellers
In the US, reselling income is taxable. The IRS 1099-K threshold is $600 in annual sales on a platform (reduced from $20,000). Platforms issue 1099-Ks for sellers above this threshold. Your taxable income is net profit (revenue minus cost of goods and legitimate business expenses) — not gross sales. Keep records of all purchase prices.

Does Vinted really have no seller fees?
Yes — Vinted charges sellers zero fees. Instead, buyers pay a buyer protection fee (typically 5% + a flat fee). This makes Vinted the highest take-home platform for sellers, though buyers are aware of this and may factor it into their offers or price sensitivity.
Which platform is best for clothing?
It depends on your item type and audience. For designer/luxury: Vestiaire Collective or TheRealReal. For contemporary women's fashion: Poshmark. For streetwear/vintage: Depop. For maximum profit on any clothing: Vinted (zero fees). For widest reach: eBay.
