Vestiaire Collective runs two payout machines. Self-list: you photograph it, you price it, prepaid label, and they take a selling fee plus 3% processing off the final sale price — 12% + 3% in USD on $83–$16,667, 17% + 3% in EUR on €75–€15,000. Consignment (EU, UK, US): they pick it up, shoot it, write it, store it, ship it, and the official USD table pays you a 65% keep on $150–$999. The $15 authentication fee is a buyer line on Authenticated Shipping. It is not The RealReal’s clothing earnings rate of Net Selling Price, not Poshmark’s 20% of listing, and not Grailed’s 9% / 6% $120 line.

Independent — not affiliated with Vestiaire Collective. Checked 28 Aug 2026 (America/Chicago). Live fetch HTTP 200: Help Seller: Selling Fees en-US (USD/CAD copy + table) and en-GB (GBP copy + full currency table; EUR/DKK/SEK/PLN from 9 June 2026), Buyer: Authentication fees ($15 US / £15 GB), Buyer: What is the Buyer Service Fee? (5%–28%, min 5), Seller: The Consignment Service (up to 80% headline + EUR/GBP/USD commission images), Seller: Consignment Service Payments (no upfront fee; 24 hours / 5 working days), Seller T&Cs last update 9 March 2026 (seller-fee cap 30%; inspection/QC/logistics where applicable), Professional seller: Commission (standard/reduced; June 26, 2026 update — rates are a download, not printed here). Gaps: the Help headline still says “a Selling Fee of 12%” while the attached table prints 17% for EUR/SEK/DKK/PLN — this page uses the table for those currencies and the 12% prose for USD/GBP; consignment Help says “up to 80%” and the USD/EUR/GBP images print an 85% top row — the table is the worked source, the headline is disclosed; professional rates are not in the HTML (US has a dedicated file) — we will not invent a pro %; Direct Shipping vs Authenticated Shipping mix is not printed as a share of GMV; buyer service fee is a 5–28% range, not a SKU row; this page will not invent a 50-state sales-tax table (Help: selling fees include VAT/GST/US sales tax where applicable; we leave tax as a labeled empty line); prepaid-label dollar prices are not printed — paste postage from the order if you want it in. Match a settled payout in your Vestiaire account. Worksheet only — not tax, legal, or accounting advice. Shopify links are sponsored affiliates (FTC).

This fee page’s KEEP above vs Shopify Basic Payments keep $96.80 on $100. Own store: Shopify keeps $96.80 on $100

12% is a take. 65% is a keep. Do not invert them.

Help’s self-list sentence is the tell:

“Listing your items is free on Vestiaire Collective. Once you make a sale, a Selling Fee of 12%* will be deducted from the final price of your sale.”

Deducted. That 12% is what they take, then processing sits on top. Consignment Help inverts the language on purpose:

“You will earn up to 80% of the item price.”

That 80% is what you keep — the same inversion The RealReal prints as “We pay between 20% – 70%.” A Vestiaire consignment 65% row on $400 is $260 to you. A Vestiaire self-list 12% row on $400 is $48 to them, plus $12 processing, $340 to you. Paste “Vestiaire takes 65%” into a Poshmark worksheet and you have inverted the keep.

Official self-list selling fees (fetched 28 Aug 2026)

USD from faq.vestiairecollective.com/hc/en-us/articles/24659638721425-Seller-Selling-Fees (prose + attached USD/CAD table). GBP prose and the full currency table from the en-GB twin (table images 47531420682769 / 47531422427665). GB copy: these fees apply to new items from 18 July 2025, in GBP from 9 March 2026, and in EUR, DKK, SEK, PLN from 9 June 2026.

US vs EU is not a rounding error

Same €/$ 400 sticker, self-list, empty extras:

The EUR 17% mid-band is why a Paris closet and a Brooklyn closet do not share a worksheet. GBP stayed on the 12% family; EUR/SEK/DKK/PLN moved on 9 June 2026. This page will not convert €400 to USD and pretend the percents match.

Worked keep: $400 USD self-list

Inputs that are official: USD $83–$16,667 selling fee 12%; payment processing 3% (min $3); listing free; deductions from the final sale price.

  1. Final sale price = $400.00.
  2. Selling fee = $400.00 × 0.12 = $48.00.
  3. Processing = $400.00 × 0.03 = $12.00 (above the $3 minimum).
  4. Keep = $400.00 − $48.00 − $12.00 = $340.00.

Second official self-list row, €400 EUR (€75–€15,000 = 17% + 3%): €400.00 × 0.17 = €68.00 selling; €400.00 × 0.03 = €12.00 processing; keep = €320.00.

Third official row, $80 USD (under $83): selling $10.00 + processing $3.00 = $13.00 house; keep = $67.00. Help will not accept a list under $18.

Help does not print these dollar keeps. The percents, flats, and mins are theirs; the subtraction is ours.

Authentication is a buyer ticket. Do not subtract $15 from the seller.

Buyer: Authentication fees (en-US, fetched 28 Aug 2026): Authenticated Shipping goes to a Vestiaire hub; “The Authentication Fee for all items is just $15.” En-GB prints £15. If Direct Shipping is not available, physical authentication is included in the buyer service fee — no extra authentication fee.

Buyer service fee is charged to the buyer: typically 5% to 28% of the item price (inclusive of any currency-conversion fee), minimum 5 EUR/GBP/USD/CHF, and may not exceed the Buyer T&Cs cap (Buyer T&Cs: 30%). It covers guaranteed delivery, online inspection of every listing, physical authentication when Direct Shipping is off, a 72-hour free relist without selling fees, and support.

That is the opposite of The RealReal, where authentication is bundled into the house remainder of an earnings-rate keep — you never see a $15 buyer auth line because you handed the piece to them first. On Vestiaire self-list, the seller keep card is sale price minus selling fee minus processing. The buyer’s 5–28% and $15 sit on the other side of checkout.

Consignment is the other machine (EU, UK, US)

Official Consignment Service Help: available in the EU, UK, and US; appointment; they handle pick-up, expert photography, descriptions, market-rate pricing, storage, and shipment. Eligibility printed: based in EU/UK/US, at least 5 luxury/designer items, very good condition. Unsold return: €20 per item. Payments Help: no upfront fee; payment minus consignment commission within 24 hours of processing the buyer’s payment; in-account within 5 working days.

Official USD consignment image (Help attachment, OCR + read 28 Aug 2026) — amount due to the consignor is the keep:

EUR image (or currency equivalent for an EU country) and GBP image use the same percents above the floor, with different floors and high-band cutovers:

Worked consignment keep, $400 USD ($150–$999 = 65%): $400.00 × 0.65 = $260.00. House 35% = $140.00. Same $400 self-list was $340.00 — the $80 gap is the photography, copy, pricing, storage, and outbound they bundled in. Help’s “up to 80%” sentence is the $5,000–$9,999 USD row (and the EUR/GBP 20/80 rows). The 85% top row is printed on the same images. This page will not collapse 85% into 80%.

Same $400, five different legal machines

Empty extras. Tax = $0 on this card because this is not a 50-state engine.

ChannelWhat the % isSame $400
Vestiaire self-list USD They take 12% + 3% of sale price $340.00 keep; you shot it and shipped it
Vestiaire self-list EUR They take 17% + 3% €320.00 keep on €400 — not a USD twin
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 (intake, auth, photos, price, ship bundled)
Fashionphile consignment They take 30% of sale price (under $3,000) $280.00 keep; they authenticated and listed; you wait out the return window
Poshmark US ≥ $15 They take 20% of listing $320.00 keep; you shot it, listed it, packed it
Grailed Label ≥ $120 They take 9% of sale price + processing $400 − 9% − onboarded US processing 3.49%+$0.49 → $349.55 (Help percents; subtraction ours)

Vestiaire self-list $340 vs Poshmark $320 is not “Vestiaire is cheaper.” Poshmark’s 20% is one line; Vestiaire’s 15% effective is two official lines (12 + 3) and a buyer who may also pay $15 auth plus a 5–28% service fee you never see in My Sales. Vestiaire consignment $260 vs The RealReal $240 is not a 5-point coupon either — different bands, different floors ($60 Vestiaire vs 20% TRR clothing under $100), different payout clocks (Vestiaire consignment 24 hours / 5 days vs TRR 15th of the next month).

FAQ

What does Vestiaire take on a normal US self-list sale?

12% selling + 3% processing (min $3) between $83 and $16,667. Under $83: $10 + $3. Over $16,667: $2,000 + 3%. Listing is free.

Is Europe the same 12%?

No. Official table: EUR mid-band is 17% + 3% from 9 June 2026. GBP stayed 12% + 3%.

Do I pay the $15 authentication fee as the seller?

Not on the official buyer auth article. $15 / £15 is a buyer fee on Authenticated Shipping. If Direct Shipping is off, physical auth is inside the buyer service fee.

Self-list or consignment on $400?

Self-list USD keep $340.00 (you did the listing work). Consignment USD keep $260.00 (they did intake through ship). Different machines — not a 5-point coupon vs The RealReal’s $240 clothing keep. Same $400 as a dedicated trio (not this decoder): Vestiaire vs The RealReal.
