← StockX seller payout calculator
Every rate below is an illustrative example, not either marketplace's published fee schedule — both are inputs you should replace with your own seller dashboard numbers. What the worked example is useful for is the shape of the two fee structures: StockX tiers its seller fee by your own Seller Level and Fast Shipping enrollment and bills payment processing as a separate line, while eBay bundles processing into one final value fee and leaves outbound shipping to the buyer entirely up to the seller to arrange, rather than a flat verification-center drop.

A pair that sells for $200 on either platform. It cost $120 to acquire, plus $2 in packaging either way. On StockX, illustrative numbers: a 9% seller fee (no Fast Shipping), a 3% payment processing fee, and $6 to ship to a verification center. On eBay, illustrative numbers: a 13.25% final value fee plus a $0.30 per-order fee (payment processing already bundled in), and $12 to ship the pair directly to the buyer. Same pair, same price, same acquisition cost — only the platform and its fee structure change.
| On a $200 sale | StockX | eBay |
|---|---|---|
| Seller fee / final value fee | $18.00 (9% seller fee) | $26.80 (13.25% + $0.30) |
| Payment processing | $6.00 (3%, separate line) | $0.00 (bundled above) |
| Shipping | $6.00 (to verification center) | $12.00 (direct to buyer) |
| Other per-sale costs | $2.00 | $2.00 |
| Total fees | $32.00 | $40.80 |
| Net payout | $168.00 | $159.20 |
| Net profit | $48.00 | $39.20 |
| Margin | 24.0% | 19.6% |
The structural difference matters more than the single-sale gap. StockX splits its cost into a seller fee that falls as your account's Seller Level rises, plus a flat processing percentage, plus a short hop to a verification center. eBay folds processing into one final value fee that does not depend on any seller-level ladder, but hands the seller the entire outbound shipping cost of getting the item to the buyer's door — which is usually farther, and pricier, than a verification-center drop. On this illustrative example, StockX nets about $9 more.
Holding every rate fixed, eBay would need to sell this pair for about $210 — roughly $10, or about 5%, more than the $200 asked on StockX — to net a similar profit. Whether eBay's audience for a given pair actually clears a higher price than StockX's bid/ask market is a judgement about that specific listing, not something either fee schedule can answer.
Worth being direct about, because it is the honest half of this page. Fees are one input into which platform nets more on a given pair — they are not the only one:
On the illustrative worked example here — a $200 pair, sold at a mid seller tier with no Fast Shipping, against an illustrative 13.25% eBay final value fee plus a $0.30 per-order fee and the seller paying to ship direct to the buyer — StockX nets about $9 more: $48.00 profit against $39.20. eBay bundles payment processing into its final value fee rather than charging it separately, but that is usually outweighed by the seller shipping straight to the buyer instead of to a nearby verification center, so the gap and even its direction depend on your own seller level, category fee rate, and shipping distance.
Since eBay moved sellers onto its own managed payments, the final value fee already includes payment processing — there is no second processing line the way StockX and GOAT charge one on top of their seller fee or commission. That is a genuine structural difference, not a rounding choice: eBay's one fee does more of the work StockX splits across two.
