Poshmark vs Vinted (and ThredUp): Which Is Better to Sell On in 2026?

The short answer

If you sell in the US and want buyers today, Poshmark is still the larger and more established market, but it keeps 20% of every sale of $15 or more. Vinted charges US sellers nothing and is growing quickly in America, though its US buyer base is new and its size is not public. ThredUp suits people who want the least work and accept a much smaller share of the sale price in return.

Poshmark vs Vinted vs ThredUp: how do they compare side by side?

What are the fees on Poshmark vs Vinted vs ThredUp?

How much does Poshmark take?

Listing on Poshmark is free. Poshmark's Seller Fee Policy, in its terms as checked on 14 November 2026, sets a flat $2.95 fee on sales under $15 and 20% on sales of $15 and above, so you keep 80%. Poshmark briefly tested a buyer protection fee in 2024 and reverted to this structure on 24 October 2024. On a $30 sale you receive $24.00. Our Poshmark fees explained guide works through more examples.

Does Vinted charge sellers a fee?

No. Vinted charges US sellers nothing to list or sell. The buyer pays a mandatory fee at checkout that Vinted's US help centre describes as "usually 5% + $0.70" of the item or bundle price. Until October 2026 this was called the Buyer Protection fee. New terms from 8 October 2026 in the US, UK and Australia rename it the "Vinted fee" and move refund rights into a separate Refund Policy. The terms did not indicate a change in how the fee is calculated.

On a $30 item, you receive $30 and the buyer pays about $2.20 in fees on top, plus shipping. The trade-off is that buyers compare the all-in price, so Vinted prices tend to be lower than Poshmark prices for the same item.

UK and EU note: the UK help centre gives the fee as "usually 3% to 8% + £0.3 to £0.8", and the European terms that took effect on 5 October 2026 made the same rename. See Vinted fees explained for country detail.

How much does ThredUp pay sellers?

ThredUp works differently. You send items in a Clean Out bag or with a free label, and ThredUp inspects, photographs, prices and lists them. If an item sells within its consignment window, you earn a percentage of the selling price, and the percentage rises as the price rises. ThredUp shows the exact rate for each brand in its Earnings Estimator rather than as one public table.

• Service fee: $34.99 for Premium Clean Outs. Standard is listed at $14.99, shown discounted to $0.00 when we checked. Either fee is taken from earnings only after items sell, and you never owe more than you earned.
• Pricing control: ThredUp sets prices. You can raise them by up to 10% (Standard) or 80% (Premium), and ThredUp lowers prices over time.
• Acceptance: ThredUp accepts an average of 60–80% of items in Standard Clean Outs and 80–90% in Premium. It does not accept men's clothing.
• Unsold items: about 38% of accepted items do not sell within their window. You can reclaim them for $5.99 each plus return shipping.

ThredUp also runs a beta Direct Listing option where you list and ship yourself and keep 100% of earnings. It is small next to Clean Out and we have not seen published volume for it.

How much is shipping on Vinted USA, and who pays on Poshmark?

Poshmark shipping

Poshmark uses one prepaid label paid by the buyer. Since 12 September 2025 that label costs $6.49 for anything up to 5 lb, shipped by USPS Ground Advantage (it was $8.27 by Priority Mail before). Heavier parcels need a seller-paid upgrade: $5 for 5.1–10 lb and $10 for 10.1–15 lb, under rules Poshmark announced on 13 February 2026. From 26 October 2026, if you ship an overweight parcel without buying the upgrade, Poshmark deducts the cost from your earnings instead of absorbing it.

Since 3 November 2026 Poshmark has cut buyer shipping to $0.99 on US orders, with no end date announced. Sellers' fees and label costs are unchanged by the promotion.

Vinted US shipping

On Vinted US, "shipping costs are covered by the buyer", and the price is shown at checkout. It depends on carrier, parcel size, distance and order value. New buyers get free shipping on their first purchase, and new sellers' first sales ship free, while the offer lasts. Value Added Resource reported that Vinted's help centre listed these US rates on 25 September 2026:

• SpeedX home delivery: $0.49 to $1.49, depending on parcel size
• USPS and FedEx: $0.99 for small and medium parcels, $3.19 for large

These are promotional rates and Vinted has not given an end date. Vinted may compensate up to $100 for a lost or damaged US parcel sent with its label. In the UK and EU, Vinted uses local carriers and drop-off points, and prices vary by country.

ThredUp shipping

Sending items to ThredUp is free. You can order a bag that holds up to 30 lb, or print a free label for your own box and drop it at UPS.

How do payouts and cash-out work?

• Poshmark: your earnings are released when the buyer accepts the item, or automatically 3 days after delivery if they do not report a problem. You can cash out by free direct deposit (typically 2–3 business days) or by check, or pay a transfer fee for Instant Transfer to a debit card, PayPal or Venmo.
• Vinted: payment arrives in your Vinted balance within 2 days after the order completes. An order completes when the buyer confirms it, or 2 days after delivery if they do nothing. You then transfer the balance to your bank. Vinted's US payments are handled by Adyen.
• ThredUp: earnings arrive as ThredUp credit after the 14-day buyer return window (or at shipment for final-sale items). You can convert any amount to cash or to credit at partner brands. From bag to final earnings usually takes 10–14 weeks for Standard and 16–20 weeks for Premium.

Where do Poshmark, Vinted and ThredUp operate?

Poshmark operates in the US and Canada. Korean internet company Naver completed its purchase of Poshmark on 6 January 2023.

Vinted operates in 26 countries, with France and the UK its largest markets. It has had a quiet US presence since 2013 but only began marketing in America in 2026, starting with New York in January.

ThredUp is US-only. It sold its European business, Remix, in a management buyout in December 2024 to focus on the US.

Which has more buyers: Poshmark or Vinted?

In the US, Poshmark, on the published numbers. Its about page lists 130M+ community members across the US and Canada, 350M+ items sold and $8B earned by sellers. That is a cumulative sign-up count, not monthly active users, which Poshmark does not publish.

Vinted is far bigger worldwide: its 2025 results (published 9 April 2026) show €10.8bn of gross merchandise value, up 47%, and €1.1bn of revenue. But Vinted does not publish a US user count, nor US revenue or sales. The available signals are indirect:

• Appfigures estimated 1.2M US downloads of Vinted in April 2026, ahead of Depop (1.1M) and Poshmark (219K). From January to April 2026, Vinted had about 2.6M US downloads against Poshmark's 1.5M, which was down 28% on a year earlier.
• Wells Fargo analysts, quoted by FashionUnited, said Vinted's US daily active users grew more than sixfold year on year in Q2 2026.

Downloads are not buyers. Poshmark has more than a decade of US buyers already searching it, while Vinted is adding them fast from a low base. ThredUp reported 1.82 million active buyers (at least one purchase in the last 12 months) and 1.89 million orders in Q3 2026, with revenue of $88.2 million.

What sells best on Vinted USA and on Poshmark?

Does Vinted sell more than clothes?

Yes. On 14 November 2026 vinted.com's top-level categories were Women, Men, Designer, Kids, Home, Electronics, Hobbies & collectibles and Sports. Vinted's 2025 results say it kept expanding into "more consumer-goods categories including sports and collectables". Clothing is still the core.

What sells well on Vinted US?

Vinted publishes no US category data. PLOTT started tracking Vinted's US site (vinted.com) in November 2026, and the US numbers will appear on PLOTT's Vinted US tracker as tracked listings sell. Until then, the best guide is how Vinted's model behaves at scale in Europe. We track new Vinted listings in the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the Netherlands until they sell: over 41,000 listings on a rolling 45 days, as of 14 November 2026.

• About 23% of new listings sell within 7 days, and the median sold item took 18 hours.
• Sportswear, kids' clothing and sneakers sell fastest. Occasionwear sells slowest.
• Among the fastest-selling brands are Gymshark, Polo Ralph Lauren, Carhartt and Skechers.

Those are everyday, recognisable brands at moderate prices, which fits a no-seller-fee model where buyers compare all-in prices. It is a reasonable starting guess for the US until our US data matures. See the live European numbers by country and category on PLOTT's Vinted tracker, and our longer guide to what sells most on Vinted.

What sells best on Poshmark?

Poshmark's 20% commission favours items with enough value to absorb it: mid-priced and designer handbags, shoes, athleisure and recognisable brands. Its own themed Posh Parties on 14 November 2026 covered luxury bags, athleisure (Lululemon, Alo Yoga, Vuori), sneakers, outerwear, vintage and Y2K, home and electronics. Under $15, the $2.95 flat fee takes a large share of the sale. See what sells most on Poshmark.

What sells on ThredUp?

Only women's and kids' clothing, shoes, handbags and accessories. ThredUp lists more than 60,000 brands, and under 5% of them earn no payout because of low resale value (unless the item sells for $20 or more).

Which sells faster: Poshmark or Vinted?

Neither Poshmark nor Vinted publishes a sell-through rate. We do not measure Poshmark, and our Vinted US tracking only began in November 2026, so US selling speeds will appear on the Vinted US tracker once listings have had time to sell. On European Vinted, items that sell tend to sell quickly: a median of 18 hours. Lower prices and the absence of a seller fee push sellers to price for a fast sale. On Poshmark, sellers usually price higher and wait for offers, so items sell more slowly but at higher prices. ThredUp is slowest for cash: its consignment windows run 30–45 days (Standard) or 60–90 days (Premium).

How much work is listing on each, and what do Posh Parties, sharing, offers, bundles and Bumps do?

Poshmark: social and hands-on

• Sharing: sharing your listings to your followers' feeds is the main way Poshmark items get seen. Active sellers share their closets daily.
• Posh Parties: scheduled, themed shopping events with hosts. You share matching listings into the party while it runs.
• Offers: buyers can make offers, and sellers can send discounted offers to everyone who liked a listing.
• Bundles: buyers combine items from one closet into a single order with one shipping label.

Vinted: search-led and lower effort

• Search and filters: buyers search by brand, size and condition, so accurate titles and brands matter more than daily activity.
• Offers and bundles: buyers can make offers and buy several items from one seller in a single parcel.
• Bumps: a paid boost that raises a listing in feeds and search for 3 or 7 days. The price depends on the item price and duration and is shown before you pay.

ThredUp: no listing work

You fill a bag. ThredUp does the photos, pricing and listing. You give up control of price and most of the sale value in return.

Is Vinted or Depop better to sell on?

Briefly: Depop charges sellers and leans towards vintage and streetwear for a younger audience, while Vinted charges sellers nothing and suits everyday items. We cover it in detail in Vinted vs Depop, and compare Depop with Poshmark in Depop vs Poshmark.

Should you sell on Poshmark, Vinted or ThredUp?

• Choose Poshmark if you sell in the US or Canada, your items are mostly $30 and up, and you will share and send offers regularly. You pay 20%, but you get the largest established buyer base of the three.
• Choose Vinted if your items are mostly under $30, you want to keep the full price, or you are in the UK or EU, where Vinted is far larger than Poshmark (which does not operate there). US sellers should treat it as a growing second channel while its audience builds.
• Choose ThredUp if you have a bag of women's or kids' clothes, little time, and care more about clearing space than about earnings.
• Use Poshmark and Vinted together if you can: list higher-value pieces on Poshmark and cheaper, faster-moving items on Vinted, and delist promptly when something sells.
