Fashionphile runs two legal machines, and only one of them prints a commission. Consignment: they authenticate it, price it, list it, and take 30% of the first $3,000 of sale price and 15% of the rest. A $400 bag is not a 15% ticket. It is a $120 house cut and a $280.00 keep. Buyout: they email a dollar. That dollar is the deal. Sell-with-us does not publish a buyout percent of resale, so this page will not invent one. It is not The RealReal’s clothing earnings rate of Net Selling Price, not Vestiaire’s US 12% + 3% self-list take, and not Poshmark’s 20% of listing. Same $400 as a dedicated pair (Fashionphile 30% take → $280 vs TRR clothing keep $240 — not the Vestiaire self-list trio, not this decoder): Fashionphile vs The RealReal. Same $400 on a quoted-take consignment (typically 15–25%, as low as 8% — $340 at 15%, not this 30% cliff): Rebag fees explained. Same $400 typical band vs this 30% cliff ($340–$300 vs $280 — not the TRR keep pair, not the Rebag decoder): Rebag vs Fashionphile.
Default row: consignment $400 → 30% of sale price → $280.00 keep. Switch the sale price across the $3,000 cliff to see the 15% remainder. Buyout mode does not invent a percent — paste the offer they emailed.
The April 10, 2026 seller terms are the tell:
“FASHIONPHILE will take as fees the following percentages from the proceeds of the sale of your Consignment Items: 30% of the sale price up to a sale price of US $3,000; and 15% of the sale price for the portion of a sale price in excess of US $3,000.”
Take. From the proceeds. The 30% is what they keep. That is the same direction as Poshmark’s 20% of listing and the opposite of The RealReal’s “we pay between 20% – 70%”. A Fashionphile 30% row on $400 is $120 to the house and $280.00 to you. A RealReal 60% clothing row on $400 Net Selling Price is $240 to you. Paste “Fashionphile pays 30%” into a RealReal worksheet and you have inverted the keep.
Live US terms, fetched 28 Aug 2026. Two brackets. One sale price. The second percent only eats the dollars above $3,000.
| Sale price (USD) | Official take | Worked keep (subtraction ours) |
|---|---|---|
| $400 | 30% of $400 = $120.00 | $280.00 |
| $3,000 (the cliff) | 30% of $3,000 = $900.00 | $2,100.00 |
| $5,000 | $900.00 + 15% of $2,000 = $300.00 → $1,200.00 house | $3,800.00 (24% effective take) |
| $10,000 | $900.00 + 15% of $7,000 = $1,050.00 → $1,950.00 house | $8,050.00 (19.5% effective take) |
A blog that writes “Fashionphile consignment is 15%” is describing the remainder bracket as if it were the whole machine. Under $3,000 that sentence is false. At $5,000 the blended take is 24%, not 15%. The terms also say they may change these fees by posting. Confirm the live page before you ship.
UK twin, last revised July 20, 2026: the same 30% / 15% steps against GBP £3,000, Authentication Fee £110 Birkin or Kelly / £55 other. This card stays in USD. We will not convert £400 to $400 and pretend the keep is identical.
Inputs that are official: 30% of sale price up to US $3,000; 15% of the excess; deductions from proceeds of the sale.
Second official row, $5,000: first $3,000 × 0.30 = $900.00; remaining $2,000 × 0.15 = $300.00; house $1,200.00; keep = $3,800.00.
Seller terms do not print these dollar keeps. The percents and the $3,000 line are theirs. The subtraction is ours. Empty tax. Empty shipping-to-you (they return a pulled item at your sole expense — no dollar printed).
Sell To Us (fetched 28 Aug 2026) is written as a purchase: “We provide upfront offers. You’re paid as soon as we receive and authenticate your item.” Online: offer emailed in 7–10 business days; complimentary label or free UPS pick-up; payout estimated 2–4 days after the item is received and authenticated. In person: live offer during the appointment; paid as soon as authenticated. Luxury Sales: they come to you; HQ authenticates; estimated 2–4 days after receipt.
Seller terms on that same machine: a Buyout Offer is a price quote, valid thirty (30) days. Payment issues once they have received, assessed, and authenticated the item and you have accepted the final offer, including any updated offer after they look at condition or missing straps. If it is authentic but not as described, they send a new number. If you reject the new number, they send the bag back. If it is not authentic, the Authentication Fee applies.
That is why this card will not invent “Fashionphile buyout is X% of resale.” The official artifact is the emailed dollar. Paste it. The 30% / 15% grid is consignment only.
Consignment payment, seller terms:
“FASHIONPHILE will only issue payment for the sale of a Consignment Item after: (i) the return period for the Consignment Item has elapsed, and the Consignment Item in question has in fact not been returned; and (ii) a purchaser’s payment for such Consignment Item has cleared and the Consignment Item has shipped.”
Three gates: return window closed with no return, buyer money cleared, item shipped. The return period is not printed as a number of days on the April 10, 2026 terms. Gap disclosed. Indexed Help copy also mentions an Extended Holiday Return Window (November 15–December 31) with consignment payments after January 15 — that sentence is not in the Shopify terms HTML we parsed, so it is not a worked line here.
Funds land in the Fashionphile Wallet. Cash-out methods printed in seller terms: wire transfer ($50 fee per transfer), direct deposit, check, Neiman Marcus Gift Card, or Fashionphile store credit. Gift card and store credit: additional 10% bonus in value. Once a cash-out is initiated, the method cannot be changed. Sell-with-us also lists PayPal on the marketing payout row. Terms do not name PayPal in the Wallet list. Both facts stay on the page.
That clock is not The RealReal’s 15th-of-the-next-month batch and not Vestiaire consignment’s “within 24 hours of processing the buyer’s payment / in-account within 5 working days.” Fashionphile buyout is the fast machine (2–4 days after authentication). Consignment is the slow one, on purpose: they sold it to a shopper who can still send it back.
Seller terms: Sale Items are not deemed authentic until received, reviewed, and approved. Issuance of payment is not evidence of authenticity. If a sale item is counterfeit or not authentic, they return it upon payment of an Authentication Fee: US $125 for any Hermès Birkin or Kelly, US $75 for all other sale items. The same dollars apply if you pull a consignment during the 90-day Initial Consignment Term (early termination). After that initial term, the consignment automatically extends until the item is sold — there is no printed “call it back free after day 91” in the terms we parsed. Return of a pulled item is at your sole expense. Unpaid Authentication Fee for sixty (60) days: the item may be destroyed.
That is the opposite of Vestiaire’s $15 authentication fee, which the official buyer article charges to the buyer on Authenticated Shipping. On Fashionphile consignment you handed them the Birkin first. The $75 / $125 is what you pay to get a rejected or early-terminated piece back, not a line on the shopper’s checkout.
Separate product: FASHIONPHILE Certified (indexed Help) sells authentication as a service — $75 per item, $125 for watches, fine jewelry, and Hermès Birkin and Kelly — whether the item is authentic or not. Same dollars, different contract. Certified puts watches and fine jewelry in the $125 bucket. The seller-return fee text only names Birkin or Kelly for $125. Gap disclosed; we will not merge the two schedules.
Seller terms: Fashionphile reserves the right to determine prices for all Sale Items in its sole discretion, based on comparable prices for the same or similar style and condition. Prices are not guarantees of future payment amounts. After twenty-five (25) days unsold, they reserve the right to discount the sale price. No printed first-markdown percent. The 30% / 15% take then sits on the discounted sale price, not on the number you wished it would list at. That is the same economic shape as The RealReal’s Net Selling Price (sold price after discounts) — a markdown shrinks the base — except Fashionphile’s published take is a house percent of sale price, and The RealReal’s published number is your keep of NSP.
Refresh Program, same April 10, 2026 terms: select items you bought from Fashionphile may be sold back “for up to 75% of the item’s Original Purchase Price” for up to one year. Original Purchase Price = what you paid them, after coupons, excluding tax and shipping. Ineligible: Original Purchase Price under $400, shoes and sunglasses, excessive wear, items not bought from Fashionphile, outside the year. Ineligible send-ins process as ordinary Buyout Items.
Printed table (ACH / wire / check). Headline “up to 75%” is not a table row — the highest printed keep of Original Purchase Price is 65%:
| Brands | 0–3 months | Later in the year |
|---|---|---|
| Hermès, Chanel, Cartier, Rolex, Van Cleef & Arpels | 65% | 4–12 months = 60% |
| All other brands | 65% | 4–6 months = 60%; 7–12 months = 55% |
Footnote: those percents are for ACH, wire, or check. Store credit or Neiman Marcus gift card increases the Refresh payment by 10% (their example: $1,000 Refresh → $1,100 store credit). Do not paste 65% onto a consignment sale price. Refresh is a percentage of what you paid Fashionphile. Consignment 30% is a take of what a shopper paid Fashionphile.
Empty extras. Tax = $0 on this card because this is not a 50-state engine. Closet channels assume you photographed and shipped. Consignment channels assume they did.
| Channel | What the % is | Same $400 |
|---|---|---|
| Fashionphile consignment | They take 30% of sale price (under $3,000) | $280.00 keep; they authenticated, priced, listed; you wait out the return window |
| Fashionphile buyout | No published % of resale | The emailed offer. 2–4 days after authentication. Do not invent a cell. |
| Rebag consignment (if quote prints 15%) | They take 15% of net sales (typical-band floor; actual % on the quote) | $340.00 keep; Wallet 15 business days after Sold; chart not in Help HTML |
| Vestiaire self-list USD | They take 12% + 3% of sale price | $340.00 keep; you shot it and shipped it; $15 auth is buyer-side |
| Vestiaire consignment USD | You keep 65% of sold price ($150–$999) | $260.00; they shot, stored, shipped |
| The RealReal clothing Trendsetter | You keep 60% of Net Selling Price | $240.00 cash; 15th of next month |
| Poshmark US ≥ $15 | They take 20% of listing | $320.00 keep; you shot it, listed it, packed it |
Fashionphile $280 vs Poshmark $320 is not “Poshmark is cheaper.” Poshmark’s 20% is one closet line on a listing you ran. Fashionphile’s 30% buys intake, in-house authentication, photography, pricing, and a storefront the shopper trusts enough to return into. Fashionphile $280 vs The RealReal $240 is not a 10-point coupon either — different base (sale price vs Net Selling Price), different markdown rights, different clocks (return-window payout vs the 15th), and RealReal’s 60% is a keep while Fashionphile’s 30% is a take. Vestiaire self-list $340 still has you doing the listing labor Vestiaire consignment and Fashionphile consignment bundled in. Same $400 as a dedicated pair (30% house take → $280 vs clothing keep $240; not this decoder, not the Vestiaire self-list trio): Fashionphile vs The RealReal.
30% of sale price up to $3,000, then 15% of the dollars above $3,000. A $400 sale is a $120 take and a $280.00 keep. Not a flat 15%.
No. Buyout is a quoted purchase. Sell-with-us does not print a buyout percent of resale. Paste the offer. Consignment is the only published commission grid.
Not on a completed consignment sale. The $75 / $125 Authentication Fee is the bill to get a piece back (inauthentic, or early termination in the 90-day Initial Consignment Term). Vestiaire’s $15 auth is a buyer checkout line. Different machine.
After the return period has elapsed with no return, the buyer’s payment has cleared, and the item has shipped — then into the Wallet, then you cash out (wire is minus $50; store credit is plus 10%). The return period is not printed as N days. Buyout is the 2–4 day clock.
No. This page will not invent Illinois vs California. Seller terms put the 30% / 15% on sale-price proceeds. Tax stays a labeled empty line.
