Sneaker resale calculator.

How it works

• StockX: 3% payment processing plus the transaction fee for your Seller Level, both on the final sale price. Levels are set by quarterly sales: Level 2 needs 12 sales and $1,500 a quarter, Level 5 needs 800 and $100,000 (StockX).
• GOAT: 9.5% commission plus a seller fee ($0 for US drop-off, $5 for US prepaid shipping), taken off your listing price. Cashing out to a bank (ACH) or PayPal costs 2.9%; GOAT says it may cut or waive that in promotions. Sellers with a rating under 90 pay 15% to 25% instead (GOAT fee policy, last updated Aug 1, 2026).
• eBay: 8% of the total sale in Athletic Shoes at $150 or more with no per-order fee; 13.6% under $150. The total includes sales tax and any shipping you charge, which is why there's a buyer tax box (eBay).
• Profit = payout − (what you paid × (1 + your sales tax)). Margin = profit / sale price. ROI = profit / your cost. Break-even = the sale price where profit is $0, found by search, so minimum fees and the eBay $150 line are handled exactly.

What we could not verify (so you can edit it)

• StockX $5 minimum: StockX lists a $5.00 US minimum seller fee but doesn't say if it covers the transaction fee alone or both fees. We apply it to the transaction fee, which only matters on sales under about $56 at Level 1 (about $71 at Level 5).
• StockX shipping: StockX's fee page lists no seller shipping charge for the Verified Marketplace. If your payout screen shows one, enter it in "Shipping you pay".
• eBay under $150: eBay lists a $0.40 per-order fee ($0.30 at $10 or less) for most categories and says it isn't charged at $150 or more in Athletic Shoes. It doesn't say for under $150, so we include it there.
• Promotions and stores: GOAT cash-out promos and eBay Store discounts lower fees; we use the standard rates.

FAQ

How much are StockX fees for sellers?

On the Verified Marketplace, a 3% payment processing fee plus a transaction fee by Seller Level: 9% at Level 1, 8.5% at Level 2, 8% at Level 3, 7.5% at Level 4 and 7% at Level 5, on the final sale price, with a $5.00 minimum seller fee in the US (StockX help, read Oct 23, 2026). So a Level 1 seller pays 12% in total.

StockX vs GOAT: which pays more?

At a $200 sale with default settings and no shipping costs of your own: StockX Level 1 pays $176.00, GOAT pays $175.75 with drop-off or $170.90 with prepaid shipping after the 2.9% cash-out, and eBay pays $184.00 before the shipping you pay. Run your own price in the comparison table: the winner changes with price, level and how you cash out.

What are eBay's fees for sneakers?

In Athletic Shoes, 8% with no per-order fee when the total sale is $150 or more, and 13.6% under $150. The total includes shipping you charge and sales tax (eBay selling fees, read Oct 23, 2026). eBay Store subscribers can get lower rates; this calculator uses the no-store rate.

How do I calculate resale profit?

Profit = what the platform pays you − what the pair cost you (price plus sales tax) − any shipping you pay. Margin = profit / sale price. ROI = profit / what you spent. Break-even is the sale price where profit is exactly $0.

Is reselling sneakers still profitable?

Only after fees. A pair that sells for $40 over retail on StockX Level 1 loses 12% of the whole sale price to fees first, so on a $200 sale that is $24 of your $40. Put the real numbers in before you buy, not after.
