As I understand it. It is 2.50 per share in a margin account Plus the cost of the share. You are not paying 2.50 plus the cost of share to short. So you will only lose the cost of the share, not the 2.50. But still takes a lots of money to short OTC.
"Often times, brokers will require OTC investors to have $2.50 of margin per share to short a stock under $2.50, which can make shorting penny stocks very costly. For example, if an investor shorted 2,000 shares of a stock at $0.50, you have to have $5,000 in your account."
