Grailed Fees 2026: 6% Under $120, 9% Above, Plus Processing

Grailed's fee structure changed on May 20, 2026. The flat 9% commission is now two tiers, 6% under $120 and 9% at $120 and above, plus payment processing either way. That cut makes Grailed one of the cheapest places to sell a $40–$119 piece, and it adds a price cliff at $120 that's worth knowing when you set prices.

Grailed's niche is menswear, streetwear, designer and archival fashion, where sale prices run higher than on most reselling platforms. When a typical item sells for $100-500, a point or two in fees is real money.

Grailed's fee structure explained

Grailed's fees have two parts: a commission that goes to Grailed and a processing fee that goes to Stripe, its payment processor. Both come out of your payout automatically. There are no listing fees, so you can list as many items as you want for as long as you want, and no monthly subscription, store tier or premium membership. Grailed doesn't currently offer paid promoted listings, and sellers pay nothing for Grailed's authentication on qualifying items.

The commission: 6% or 9%

Under $120, Grailed takes 6% of the sale price, with a $1.99 minimum; this reduced rate applies to sales on or after May 20, 2026. At $120 and above, it takes 9%.

The "sale price" is the price the item sells for plus any shipping you charge the buyer, unless you use a Grailed label, in which case it's the listing price only. That detail decides which tier you land in: a $110 jacket with $15 buyer-paid shipping and your own label counts as a $125 sale and pays 9%.

The tiers create a cliff. At $119 you pay $7.14 in commission; at $120 you pay $10.80. If an item is priced just over $120, dropping it to $119 costs you $1 of price and saves you $3.66 in commission.

Payment processing: Stripe's cut

On top of the commission, Stripe charges a processing fee that depends on where the buyer is. For sellers onboarded with Stripe, it's 3.49% + $0.49 per transaction for a US buyer and 4.99% + $0.49 for an international buyer.

Sellers in a Stripe-supported country who haven't onboarded pay more: 3.49% + $0.99 domestic and 5.49% + $0.99 international, so onboarding with Stripe is worth the five minutes. Grailed also has plenty of international buyers. If a meaningful share of your sales ships abroad, which is common for designer and archival sellers, your blended processing fee will be higher than the domestic rate.

Total effective fee by example

The exact breakdown on a $100 domestic sale (the 6% tier):

1. Grailed commission: $100 x 6% = $6.00
2. Stripe processing: ($100 x 3.49%) + $0.49 = $3.98
3. Total fees: $9.98
4. Your payout: $90.02
5. Effective fee rate: 9.98%

On a $200 domestic sale (the 9% tier):

1. Grailed commission: $200 x 9% = $18.00
2. Stripe processing: ($200 x 3.49%) + $0.49 = $7.47
3. Total fees: $25.47
4. Your payout: $174.53
5. Effective fee rate: 12.7%

Sold to an international buyer instead, the same $200 sale pays $10.47 in processing and nets $171.53. On a $500 archival piece, the international rate costs $7.50 more than domestic, which is small but worth including when you price.

Fee comparison: Grailed vs Poshmark vs eBay vs Depop vs StockX

The table below shows what you take home on each platform at five common price points, using standard US seller accounts with no store subscriptions or promotions, domestic buyers, and fees on the item price only. The fee structures used:

• Grailed: 6% under $120 (min $1.99), 9% at $120+, plus 3.49% + $0.49 processing
• Poshmark: $2.95 flat under $15; 20% at $15 and up
• eBay: 13.6% final value fee + $0.40 per order (most categories, no store)
• Depop: 0% selling fee in the US + 3.3% + $0.45 processing
• StockX: 9% transaction fee for Level 1 sellers (down to 7% at Level 5) + 3% processing, with a $5 minimum fee in the US

Depop is the cheapest platform at every price point, but its buyers don't overlap much with Grailed's, so you rarely choose between the two for the same item. For menswear sellers the useful comparison is Grailed, Poshmark and eBay, and Grailed now keeps you more at every price point. The gap with eBay is widest under $120: on a $100 sale you keep $4.02 more on Grailed.

The gap with Poshmark is much larger. On a $200 sale you keep $174.53 on Grailed versus $160.00 on Poshmark, a difference of $14.53, and at $500 the difference is $37.06. If you sell menswear on Poshmark without also listing on Grailed, you pay more in fees than you need to on every sale.

International buyers, returns and shipping change the math

Grailed's international processing rate is 4.99% + $0.49, a full 1.5 points above domestic. If your designer or archival pieces attract buyers abroad, your blended rate is higher than the table shows. A seller with 40% international sales pays about 4.09% + $0.49 in processing on average, which puts a $200 sale at roughly 13.3% in total fees. That's still far cheaper than Poshmark and close to eBay.

Grailed allows returns for items not as described, and the seller bears the cost. Poshmark's 20% fee at least comes with a buyer protection system that some sellers treat as a kind of dispute insurance. On Grailed you keep more per sale but carry more of the risk when a buyer says an item was misrepresented, so on high-value items detailed photos and accurate descriptions are your protection.

Shipping isn't a fee, but it affects your net. Poshmark includes a prepaid USPS label on sales. On Grailed, you can buy a Grailed label or ship on your own. Shipping on your own can be cheaper for lighter items, but buyer-paid shipping then counts toward the sale price Grailed charges commission on, and can push an item over the $120 line.

Grailed was acquired by GOAT Group in 2022, which moved payment processing to Stripe. The commission stayed at a flat 9% until May 20, 2026, when sales under $120 dropped to 6%.

When Grailed's fees actually save you money

Grailed isn't the cheapest platform overall; Depop's zero-commission model is. For menswear, though, Grailed comes out well ahead. Say you have a Rick Owens leather jacket listed on both Poshmark and Grailed at $400. On Poshmark you keep $320 after the 20% commission. On Grailed you keep $349.55 after the 9% commission and domestic processing, $29.55 more for the same sale. The buyer who wants that jacket is also far more likely to be browsing Grailed, because Grailed's audience shops for exactly this kind of item.

After the May 2026 change, Grailed is best value in the $40–$119 range: at $100 you keep 90% of the sale, against 86% on eBay and 80% on Poshmark. Above $120 the advantage over Poshmark keeps growing in dollars ($14.53 at $200, $37.06 at $500, and $74.61 at $1,000) because Poshmark's 20% scales with price. Against eBay's standard 13.6% + $0.40, Grailed keeps you more at every price point in the table, though the gap narrows to about $2 above $120 ($2.13 on a $200 sale), where international buyers can close it entirely.

Supreme, Palace, Stussy, vintage Nike and archival Raf Simons all have dedicated buyer pools on Grailed that don't exist at the same depth on Poshmark or eBay. A Supreme box logo hoodie listed on Grailed at $350 will likely sell faster, and for more, than the same hoodie on Poshmark, where buyers skew female and contemporary. The lower fees come on top of the better price.

Cross-listing: price each platform to the same net

You don't have to pick one platform. List on several and set each price according to that platform's fees, so the same item carries a different price on each. Start with your target net, the amount you want to keep after all fees, and work backward. To net $170 on a jacket, you would list it at:

• Grailed: $195 (fees: $24.85, net: $170.15)
• eBay: $198 (fees: $27.33, net: $170.67)
• Poshmark: $213 (fees: $42.60, net: $170.40)
• Depop: $177 (fees: $6.29, net: $170.71)

To net the same $170, your Poshmark price has to be $18 higher than your Grailed price. For most menswear and streetwear sellers, the practical setup is to list on Grailed and Poshmark at the same time: the Grailed price at market value, the price you actually want, and the Poshmark price about 9-12% higher to offset the fee difference. A Grailed sale keeps you more, and a Poshmark sale at the higher price still hits your target net.

This works because the two buyer pools only partly overlap. The Grailed buyer is shopping for menswear and knows market prices. The Poshmark buyer may find your listing through search or a shared closet and is more likely to pay a higher price for a well-presented listing, so the two listings rarely compete. FLIPSAIL can copy your Grailed listings to Poshmark, eBay and Depop at the price you set for each, and delists the item from the others after its next sale check once it sells; our cross-listing strategy guide covers the setup.

Is Grailed worth the fees?

For menswear, streetwear and designer fashion, yes. Grailed's tiered commission is cheaper than Poshmark's 20% and eBay's 13.6% + $0.40, and more expensive only than Depop's processing-only model. Under $120 you keep about 90% of the sale, and at the $200-500 prices where many of these items sell, Grailed saves you $14-37 per sale compared to Poshmark.

It isn't the right platform for everything. Women's fashion, NWT contemporary brands, plus-size clothing and home goods have little buyer demand on Grailed. If your inventory is mostly women's contemporary or athleisure, Poshmark and Depop are better fits whatever the fees, because a low fee rate is worth nothing on an item that sits unsold for months.
