Same dollar. Two inverted percents. Live get-started (HTTP 200, 28 Aug 2026) still takes 20% of the listing price at $15+ (Poshmark fees explained) — leftover $320.00 on a $400 closet sticker. RealStyle How To Sell On The RealReal (dated 5.27.25, HTTP 200 this fetch) still pays clothing 60% of Net Selling Price in the $300–$749 band at Trendsetter (The RealReal fees explained) — cash $240.00 on a $400 NSP. Identity of this card: Poshmark 20% of listing vs The RealReal clothing keep % on NSP. It is not Poshmark vs Vinted ($50 closet vs a printed $0 seller take). It is not the consignment decoder. It is not a 50-state tax engine. A third take — you still list the piece — lives on Grailed fees explained (9% at $120+).

Default: $400 as Poshmark listing price and as The RealReal clothing Net Selling Price. Poshmark is the $15+ 20% band (not the $2.95 cliff). The RealReal is clothing Trendsetter, $300–$749 = 60% keep → $240.00 cash. Poshmark leftover → $320.00. Buyer-paid $6.49 stays off Poshmark keep until you mark seller-paid. Overweight stays $0 until you pick a published tier. Loyalty points are a labeled planning switch, not a published combined row.
Poshmark leftover = listing minus the $2.95 cliff under $15, or minus 20% of listing at $15+, then minus any published overweight tier, then minus $6.49 only if you actually funded the label. TRR cash = clothing-band keep % × NSP, plus labeled loyalty points. Clothing grid only. No handbag row. No watch row. Planning math only — not a payout screenshot.
Free to list is not free to pay out. Get-started still takes twenty points of the sticker once the listing is $15 or more. That 20% is a house cut. RealStyle still pays a clothing earnings rate of Net Selling Price — 20% on $0–$99 up through 70% at $5,000+. That 60% on a $400 dress is your cash, not their ticket. Quote both as “commission” and you will mill the wrong machine.
That is why leftover on this card is $320.00 vs $240.00, not the $40.00 vs $50.00 closet-vs-Wallet leftover on Poshmark vs Vinted. Vinted prints a $0 seller take. The RealReal does not. The decoder at The RealReal fees explained walks bands, NSP, the 15th, site credit, and the $12.50 check. This page only asks: same $400, closet 20% take versus clothing keep %.
| Line | Poshmark US (get-started, 28 Aug 2026) | The RealReal clothing (RealStyle 5.27.25) |
|---|---|---|
| What the % is | They take 20% of listing price at $15+ (keep 80%). Under $15: $2.95 flat. Listing free. Credit-card fees handled — do not stack 2.9%. | They pay clothing 20–70% of Net Selling Price. $300–$749 = 60% keep at Trendsetter. FAQ: “We pay between 20% – 70%.” |
| Fee base | Listing price. Get-started does not put buyer shipping or tax in the 20%. Unread Fee Policy is a gap, not a mill. | Net Selling Price: sold price after discounts, excluding tax and shipping (indexed consignor terms). Markdowns shrink the base. |
| Who does the listing work | You photograph, write the listing, pack, and drop the prepaid Ground Advantage label. | They authenticate, photograph, set the price, list, and ship. Intake: in-home, in-store, or prepaid ship-in. |
| Buyer / postage line (leave off keep unless marked) | Buyer pays last official $6.49 Ground Advantage (up to 5 lb). Terms: buyer is responsible for shipping fees. | Shipping is already outside NSP. Do not invent a buyer-postage mill on the earnings rate. |
| Clock | Get-started: withdraw anytime for free (checking, a check, or spend on Poshmark). | Indexed terms / FAQ: processing typically starts the 15th for the prior calendar month. Sale window generally 365 days. |
| Off this card | Promoted Closet has no published default CPC — paste an invoice. Dead Oct 2024 1-2-3 / 5.99% blog still 404s. | Handbags / watches / sneakers: “will differ,” no printed grid. Jewelry has a printed grid — it is the decoder’s second table, not this pair. Live chart 403. |

Get-started, opened 28 Aug 2026 (HTTP 200):
“For sales under $15, we charge a single flat rate of $2.95. You keep the rest. For sales of $15 or more, we charge 20% of the listing price and you keep 80%.”
RealStyle FAQ, same day’s live fetch:
“Our commission structure is based on your sales volume. We pay between 20% – 70% based on your item’s value.”
“We charge 20%” and “we pay 60%” are not two takes. One is a cut. One is a payout. On $400:
A headline that says “The RealReal takes 60%” has inverted the keep. A headline that says “20% vs 60%, so consignment costs 3×” has compared a take to a keep. The honest house-cut pair on this $400 clothing row is $80 vs $160, not $80 vs $240.
Same word, both rails, at $99 — the tell: Poshmark still takes 20% ($19.80) so leftover is $79.20. Clothing $0–$99 on RealStyle still pays 20%, so cash is $19.80. Identical vocabulary. Opposite leftover. That row is why this card exists.
$400 is above Poshmark’s $15 cliff, so the closet rail is twenty points, not $2.95. $400 is inside RealStyle’s clothing $300–$749 cell, so the consignment rail is 60% keep, not the 20% basement and not the 70% ceiling. That is a different unit from a $50 sticker measured against a printed $0 take.
| Same dollar as clothing NSP / listing | Poshmark leftover (20% take, $15+) | TRR clothing Trendsetter cash |
|---|---|---|
| $99 | $79.20 (20% take) | $19.80 (20% keep, $0–$99) |
| $250 | $200.00 | $137.50 (55% keep, $200–$299) |
| $400 (this card) | $320.00 | $240.00 (60% keep, $300–$749) |
| $800 | $640.00 | $520.00 (65% keep, $750–$4,999) |
| $5,000 | $4,000.00 | $3,500.00 (70% keep, $5,000+) |
Percents are RealStyle / get-started. Dollars are our multiplication. RealStyle does not print these worked keeps. Jewelry is a printed second grid on the same article ($300–$749 jumps to 65%; top band starts at $750). This pair does not run jewelry — that table belongs on the decoder, not on a closet-20% card. Handbags and watches are named as different and then not printed. We stop there.
Get-started’s 20% sits on the listing the buyer paid. If you listed $400 and it sold at $400, the take is $80. Indexed consignor terms: Net Selling Price is the sold price less applicable discounts and promotions, excluding taxes and shipping. If they tag a dress at $500 and mark it to $400 before it sells, the 60% sits on $400, not on $500. You are not toggling that markdown from a closet discount button unless a written agreement says otherwise.
That is also why this page is not a 50-state tax engine. Tax is already outside NSP. Get-started’s 20% is of listing price, not of listing plus tax. Empty tax on both rails is how the official bases are written, not a table of state rates we declined to invent.
Buyer-paid $6.49 Ground Advantage (last official standard rate from 12 Sep 2025; 13 Feb 2026 heavier-items post said no change to the standard label up to 5 lb) sits beside Poshmark keep. Terms put shipping on the buyer. Dropping $6.49 into the 20% would invent 20% × $406.49 — a cell get-started does not print. Overweight is the disclosed seller row: $5.00 (5.1–10 lb) / $10.00 (10.1–15 lb) from earnings. $400 + $5 overweight → Poshmark leftover $315.00 vs TRR cash still $240.00. The $5 left the closet. It did not become a consignment percent.
$320 vs $240 is not a gift from the closet. It is the cost of doing intake yourself. RealStyle’s live article still says more than 90 in-house experts inspect every piece, with AI on dye, fabric, and stitching; indexed FAQ copy raises the headcount to 150+. This pair will not referee 90 vs 150. They also set the price from their data and generally take 2–3 weeks from receiving to a live listing, with a sale window that is generally 365 days. Get-started’s clock is the opposite: list tonight, prepaid label, withdraw whenever, no 15th-of-month wait.
This card will not invent an hourly rate for photographing a dress, and it will not invent a “Get Paid Now” buyout percent RealStyle did not print. Run labor, authentication risk, and markdown risk as separate lines in your own head. A higher closet leftover is the price of doing the closet.
A third machine — still a take, still you listing — is Grailed’s 9% at $120+ (6% with a $1.99 minimum under the line; Label drops shipping from the commission base). Do not paste Grailed 9% onto this $400 as if it were a consignment keep, and do not paste TRR 60% onto a hoodie you listed yourself.

Poshmark leftover is $320.00 after 20% of the $400 listing price. The RealReal leftover is $240.00 cash if that $400 is clothing NSP in the $300–$749 band at Trendsetter. Last checked 28 Aug 2026. Confirm in each account. $6.49 is not inside the 20% on get-started. Live commission chart was 403 this fetch.
Get-started’s 20% is the take. RealStyle’s 60% is the keep. House remainder on that $400 clothing row is $80 vs $160, not $80 vs $240. FAQ copy: they pay between 20% and 70% based on the item’s value.
That card is a $50 closet sticker against a printed $0 seller take ($40.00 vs $50.00). This card is a $400 closet 20% take against clothing keep % on NSP ($320 vs $240). Vinted is not on this page. Do not quote this pair as $40 vs $50.
That page is the consignment decoder: bands, NSP, 15th, site credit, $12.50 check, chart gaps. This page is the pair against Poshmark’s listing-price 20%. Clothing Trendsetter cash is the worked rail. Jewelry, checks, and site credit stay on the decoder.
No. RealStyle says earnings will differ for handbags, watches, and men’s sneakers and collectibles, then does not print those tables. Live chart 403. This card will not invent them.
No. NSP already excludes tax. Get-started’s 20% is of listing price, not listing plus tax. Empty tax is the official base on both rails.
