A sold hoodie is not a 10% closet ticket and not a 0% selling-fee app. Grailed’s 2026 seller cut is a $120 line: 9% when the sale price is $120 and above, 6% with a $1.99 minimum when it is under $120 (sales on or after 20 May 2026). Whether buyer-charged postage sits inside that sale price depends on one switch: Grailed Label vs your own label. Processing is a second, Stripe-priced line — not a second commission. That stack is not Whatnot’s 8% on the hammer (shipping excluded), not Depop’s 0% selling fee + 3.3% + $0.45, and not eBay’s category final-value table. Same $200 empty-ship sticker against US Whatnot 8%: Whatnot vs Grailed.
Official commission, sales on/after 20 May 2026: sale price ≥ $120 → 9%; under $120 → 6% (min $1.99). Sale price = listing only with a Grailed Label; listing + buyer-charged shipping without one. Processing default: US domestic, Stripe onboarded, 3.49% + $0.49 on that same sale price (Help does not print this base). Empty ship / tax / postage = $0 extra. Default row is a $200 Label sale.
Grailed Label: postage is not added to keep and not added to commission. Own-label: buyer-charged shipping inflates the sale price; actual postage is then deducted. Empty own-label postage treats charged ship as a wash. Processing base is a planning assumption.
—
Closet apps train you to memorize one percent. Grailed prints two, and the tripwire is a dollar amount, not a category. That is the page.
Grailed is free for buyers. Sellers pay a seller commission fee… Standard, $120 and above: 9%. Reduced, under $120, applicable to sales on/after 5/20/26: 6% (minimum $1.99).
— What are the fees?, updated 13 May 2026, fetched 28 Aug 2026
The reduced cell is dated. Sales on or after 20 May 2026 use 6% under $120. This card will not replay the old flat 9% as if the cut never shipped. Promotional commission rates “may apply to certain transactions” with separate terms — we will not invent a promo table or a stacked discount. The seller fee applies to domestic and international transactions.
Buyers are free. That is the opposite of Depop’s buyer Marketplace fee (up to 5% + $1 on the buyer, not subtracted from seller keep). Do not paste a buyer line onto this receipt.
The sale price is the amount used to determine your commission rate. It is based on: the listing price your item sells for, plus any shipping costs charged to the buyer, if you are not using a Grailed Label. If you use a Grailed Label, the sale price is based on the listing price only.
— same article
That sentence is the whole fight with other apps. Mercari takes 10% of item + buyer-paid shipping, always, as one percent. Whatnot takes commission on the item and processing on checkout, and Help says commission excludes shipping. Grailed’s commission either includes the postage you charged, or it does not — and the fork is whether the label is theirs.
A $110 listing with $15 you billed for postage is a $125 sale without a Grailed Label. $125 is 9%, not 6%. Same $110 with a Grailed Label stays a $110 sale: 6% = $6.60 instead of 9% of $125 = $11.25. That $4.65 gap is the Label, not a coupon. Support does not publish what Grailed Labels cost by zone or weight. Paste the postage dollar from the order; do not borrow an unofficial weight chart.
Help’s fee article does not print a keep example. Percents and the sale-price rule are official. The subtraction is ours. Processing is applied to the sale price at the US domestic onboarded rate (3.49% + $0.49) because Help does not print a different base. Empty tax. Own-label postage treated as equal to what you charged (net $0 on the postage line). Sales on/after 20 May 2026.
| Planning row (USD) | Sale price | Commission | Processing | Keep from listing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $200, Grailed Label | $200 (9%) | $18.00 | $7.47 | $174.53 |
| $80, Grailed Label | $80 (6%) | $4.80 | $3.28 | $71.92 |
| $25, Grailed Label | $25 (min $1.99; 6% would be $1.50) | $1.99 | $1.36 | $21.65 |
| $110 + $15 own-ship | $125 (9%) | $11.25 | $4.85 | $93.90 |
| $110, Grailed Label | $110 (6%) | $6.60 | $4.33 | $99.07 |
| $119, Grailed Label | $119 (6%) | $7.14 | $4.64 | $107.22 |
| $120, Grailed Label | $120 (9%) | $10.80 | $4.68 | $104.52 |
The $120 sticker is not “a dollar more.” Keep on $119 Label is $107.22; keep on $120 Label is $104.52. One extra dollar of list price, three dollars less in the account, before COGS. That cliff is Grailed-specific. Do not paste it onto eBay’s most-categories 13.6% + per-order fee, which is a different table with a different $10 order split.
The $1.99 floor bites when 6% of the sale price is smaller than $1.99 — about $33.17 and under. A $25 tee is not a 6% story. Help does not say what happens if the sale itself is below $1.99; this card will not invent a negative keep rule for a $1 listing.
There is a payment processing fee on all transactions. The rates may vary depending on how the buyer purchases your listing.
— Does Grailed charge a payment processing fee?, updated 7 Mar 2025, fetched 28 Aug 2026
| Published Stripe row | Rate |
|---|---|
| US domestic, onboarded | 3.49% + $0.49 |
| International, onboarded | 4.99% + $0.49 |
| US domestic, Stripe-eligible, not onboarded | 3.49% + $0.99 |
| International, Stripe-eligible, not onboarded | 5.49% + $0.99 |
| Not in a Stripe-eligible country | 4.99% + $0.49 |
Help says onboarded fees are lower, and that Grailed reserves the right to modify all fees at any time. Completing Stripe onboarding is a $0.50 vs $0.99 flat on US domestic — it is not a commission cut, and it is not Depop’s 3.3% + $0.45 or Whatnot’s 2.9% + $0.30. Do not average them.
Gap we will not paper over: that article never says whether 3.49% sits on listing, on sale price (listing ± shipping), or on a checkout total that includes tax. We apply it to the sale price and let you paste tax as an extra. Empty tax is $0, not an invented state rate. If your receipt shows a different processing dollar, the receipt wins.
Same $80 sold item, empty extras, planning only — different machines:
| App | What the official help actually prices | Why this page is not that page |
|---|---|---|
| Grailed | $80 Label → 6% + 3.49% + $0.49 → keep $71.92 | You are here. $120 line + Label switch. |
| Whatnot | 8% of hammer, shipping excluded; 2.9% + $0.30 on checkout total | Live-show / Buy-It-Now. No $120 Grailed cliff. Commission never eats postage. |
| Depop (US) | 0% selling fee; 3.3% + $0.45 on item + ship + tax | No seller commission cell. Optional 12% Boost is a different product. |
| eBay (US) | Category final-value % + per-order fee; insertion if you are over the free allotment | A table of categories, not a $120 hoodie line. |
| StockX Verified | Seller-level 9–7% of the Ask + 3% processing + US $5 estimated auth label (Listings $0 at launch) | Bid/Ask match and a quarterly level ladder. Not a $120 Label cliff. |
| GOAT | Rating 9.5% (CA 12.4%) of listing + location seller fee; 2.9% cash-out at withdrawal | Cancellation rating + location table. Cash-out is not Stripe checkout. |
| Mercari | One 10% on item + buyer-paid shipping; buyer 3.6% is not yours | No Label fork. Shipping is always in the 10%. |
Grailed is a curated menswear / streetwear / designer marketplace. The fee math follows that: one sale, two commission cells, a Label that changes the base. It is not a 50-state sales-tax calculator and it is not a cross-posting “all apps take ~13%” blend. Same $200 Label keep vs Whatnot’s two-base stack: Whatnot vs Grailed.
Gaps we will not paper over: processing base; Grailed Label price table; 50-state tax rates; promotional commission schedule; official worked keep example; sub-$1.99 sale vs $1.99 minimum; whether processing includes tax; in-app cells that are not on Help; currencies other than USD.
Free for buyers. Seller commission 9% at $120 and above; 6% with a $1.99 minimum under $120 for sales on or after 20 May 2026. Separate Stripe processing. Last checked 28 Aug 2026.
Only if you are not using a Grailed Label and you charged the buyer for shipping. With a Grailed Label, sale price is the listing only.
Onboarded US domestic: 3.49% + $0.49. Other published rows are on the processing article. Help does not print the base; this card uses sale price. Receipt wins if it disagrees.
Planning: $18.00 commission + $7.47 processing = $174.53 from the $200 listing, empty tax, US onboarded. Not a payout screenshot.
Yes, if own-label shipping you charged pushes listing + shipping to $120 or more. $110 + $15 = $125 → 9% of $125. The Label would have kept it at 6% of $110.
No. Empty tax = $0 extra in the processing base. Paste a receipt tax dollar if you want it in. We will not invent Illinois vs California.
