How Grailed fees work
Grailed keeps 9% of the sale as commission and its payment provider takes 3.49% + $0.49. On a $200 jacket that is $18.00 + $7.47 = $25.47, an effective rate of about 12.7%. Buyers pay shipping, and US sellers can buy a Grailed prepaid label that is deducted from the payout.
Compared with eBay's 13.6% + $0.40 (or 8% on sneakers $150+) and Depop's ~4% processing-only model, Grailed sits in the middle — but its audience pays up for menswear, archive and designer pieces, which is usually what decides where an item should sell.
How to keep more of each Grailed sale
- Sneakers over $150 are cheaper to sell on eBay (8%, no per-order fee) — run both calculators before you list.
- Grailed buyers negotiate; set your listing price so your floor still clears 12.7% in fees.
- Cross-list archive and designer to Depop for the younger buyer and to eBay for the widest reach; a cross-lister with automatic delisting keeps you from double-selling.
