How each one works out its cut

StockX takes two fees from the sale price: a transaction fee set by your Seller Level (9% at Level 1) and 3% payment processing. If the two come to less than $5, it charges $5. GOAT takes a commission set by your seller rating (9.5% at 90 or more), a seller fee ($0 at a drop-off, $5 with prepaid shipping), and 2.9% of what is left when you move it to a bank or PayPal. Neither asks you to charge the buyer postage: StockX sends you a prepaid label, and GOAT’s seller fee covers drop-off or prepaid shipping.
