← 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, while GOAT tiers its commission by the item's sale price and bills a separate cash-out fee. Not affiliated with GOAT.
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 GOAT, illustrative numbers: a 20% commission at this price band, a 2.9% + $0.30 cash-out fee, and a $5 shipping cost. Same pair, same price, same acquisition cost — only the platform and its fee structure change.
| On a $200 sale | StockX | GOAT |
|---|---|---|
| Seller fee / commission | $18.00 (9% seller fee) | $40.00 (20% commission) |
| Payment / cash-out fee | $6.00 (3% processing) | $6.10 (2.9% + $0.30) |
| Shipping | $6.00 | $5.00 |
| Other per-sale costs | $2.00 | $2.00 |
| Total fees | $32.00 | $53.10 |
| Net payout | $168.00 | $146.90 |
| Net profit | $48.00 | $26.90 |
| Margin | 24.0% | 13.5% |
The structural difference matters more than the single-sale gap. StockX's seller fee is a percentage of the sale price that falls as your account's Seller Level rises, and Fast Shipping knocks a further discount off that same rate — so a high-volume seller pays a lower rate than the 9% used here. GOAT's commission is tiered by the sale price band rather than by seller history, and it bills a separate cash-out fee whenever funds are transferred out, on top of the commission. Two sellers moving the identical pair keep different amounts on either platform, for different reasons. On this illustrative example, StockX nets about $21 more.
Holding every rate fixed, GOAT would need to sell this pair for about $227 — roughly $27, or about 14%, more than the $200 asked on StockX — to net a similar profit. Whether GOAT's audience for a given pair actually clears a higher price than StockX's bid/ask market is a judgement about that specific release, 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, and an illustrative 20% GOAT commission tier — StockX nets about $21 more: $48 profit against $26.90. StockX's seller fee drops as your Seller Level rises, while GOAT's commission is tiered by sale price band and is often higher at lower price points, so the gap and even its direction depend on your own seller level and the sale price. Neither rate here is a published schedule — replace both with the numbers on your own seller dashboard before trusting the comparison.
Both platforms tier their seller-side fee rather than charging one flat percentage. StockX's seller fee falls as your account's Seller Level rises and falls further with Fast Shipping enrollment. GOAT's commission is tiered by the item's sale price band, and it also deducts a separate cash-out fee when funds are transferred out. A single quoted percentage for either platform is only ever true for one seller, at one price, on one day.
