Grailed charges two fees on every sale, and they use different bases. The commission is 6% or 9% depending on whether the “sale price” is under $120, and the sale price includes shipping only when you don’t use a Grailed Label. Payment processing is charged on everything the buyer pays, including the label and sales tax. That turns $120 into a cliff: one cent over it can cost you more than $3. The calculator above applies each fee to exactly the base Grailed names, in US dollars, the only currency Grailed uses.

| Fee | Amount | Charged on | When |

Four things catch sellers out:
- The 9% applies to the whole price. Cross $120 and the rate on every dollar jumps from 6% to 9%, so a $120.00 sale keeps less than a $119.99 one.
- Processing is a separate fee. Grailed’s fee page lists the commission and notes that processing comes on top. On a $100 item with a $10 label it adds $4.33 to the $6.00 commission.
- Processing is charged on money you never get. The buyer’s label and sales tax are part of its base, even though Grailed passes them on to the carrier and the state.
- Your own label puts shipping into the commission. If you ship on your own label, the shipping you charge is part of the sale price and can push it over $120.
What you keep at common prices
Each row assumes a US seller, a US buyer, a $10 Grailed Label paid by the buyer, Stripe connected and no sales tax.
| Item price | Total fees | Fee rate | You keep |
|---|---|---|---|
| $25.00 | $3.70 | 14.8% | $21.30 |
| $50.00 | $5.58 | 11.2% | $44.42 |
| $75.00 | $7.96 | 10.6% | $67.04 |
| $100.00 | $10.33 | 10.3% | $89.67 |
| $119.99 | $12.23 | 10.2% | $107.76 |
| $120.00 | $15.83 | 13.2% | $104.17 |
| $150.00 | $19.57 | 13.0% | $130.43 |
| $200.00 | $25.82 | 12.9% | $174.18 |
| $300.00 | $38.31 | 12.8% | $261.69 |
| $500.00 | $63.29 | 12.7% | $436.71 |
The fee rate falls from 14.8% at $25, where the $1.99 minimum and the $0.49 fixed fee weigh most, to 10.2% just under $120, then jumps to 13.2% at $120 and eases to 12.7% at $500.
How the fees add up on one order
A $100 item with a $10 Grailed Label, sold to a buyer who pays 8% sales tax:
- Buyer pays$118.80
- Seller commission (6%)6% × $100.00−$6.00
- Payment processing3.49% × $118.80 + $0.49−$4.64
- Grailed Label$10.00 paid by the buyer$0.00
- You keep$89.36
The buyer pays $118.80: $100 for the item, $10 for the label and $8.80 in tax. The commission is 6% of the item price only, because a Grailed Label isn’t part of the sale price, so it is $6.00. Processing is 3.49% of the full $118.80 plus $0.49, or $4.64; without the tax it would be $4.33. You keep $89.36. The label and the tax pass through Grailed and never reach you, but they still raise the processing fee.
The $120 line: when a lower price pays more
Grailed picks the rate from the sale price, then applies it to all of it. With a $10 label, here is what you keep around the line:
- $119.00 leaves you $106.87.
- $119.99 leaves you $107.76.
- $120.00 leaves you $104.17.
- $124.11 leaves you $107.77.
Every price from $120.00 to $124.10 leaves you the same or less than $119.99, and $124.11 is the first that pays more. The calculator points this out when your price lands in that gap, and “What to charge” skips over it when it looks for the lowest price that reaches your target.
Offers work the same way, because Grailed charges on the price the item sells for: an accepted offer that crosses $120 moves you to 9%. With your own label the line applies to the item plus the shipping you charge, so a $95 item with $25 shipping is already a $120 sale.
Grailed Labels, free shipping and your own label
US-to-US sales must use a Grailed Label. The buyer pays for it at checkout as a separate line, so it costs you nothing and stays out of the commission; processing is still charged on it.
If you offer free shipping, Grailed works out the label price at the time of sale and deducts it from your payout. A $100 item with a $10 label then leaves you $80.02 instead of $89.67. The label comes out of your pocket, though processing drops a little because the buyer pays less. Over $750, signature confirmation adds $4 to the shipping, which you also pay when you offer free shipping.
For a US seller, your own label is for parcels of 20 lb or more and for every sale to a buyer outside the US. The shipping you charge then joins the sale price: a $100 item with $20 shipping is a $120 sale at 9%, and leaves you $104.52 before you pay for postage.
Selling from outside the US
Grailed works in US dollars for everyone, and the commission is the same in every country. Here is an $80 item with $25 shipping on your own label, sold to a buyer outside the US with Stripe connected:
| Market | Sale | Fees | You keep |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🇺🇸 United States | $105.00 | $12.03 11.5% | $92.97 |
| 🇨🇦 Canada | US$105.00 | US$12.03 11.5% | US$92.97 |
| 🇬🇧 United Kingdom | US$105.00 | US$13.29 12.7% | US$91.71 |
| 🇪🇺 European Union | US$105.00 | US$13.35 12.7% | US$91.65 |
| 🇦🇺 Australia | US$105.00 | US$12.66 12.1% | US$92.34 |
| 🌍 Other countries | US$105.00 | US$12.03 11.5% | US$92.97 |
- VAT or GST on the commission. Sellers in the UK, the EU, Australia, New Zealand and Norway pay it unless they’ve added a VAT/GST number to their Grailed account. Grailed shows it as a “Tax” line but doesn’t publish the rate, so we use the standard rate: 20% in the UK, 10% GST in Australia, and the rate you enter for EU countries (21% unless you change it).
- Processing depends on Stripe. Connected sellers pay 3.49% + $0.49 on US domestic payments and 4.99% + $0.49 on international ones. Grailed doesn’t define which is which, so we apply 3.49% when the buyer pays from the US. Sellers who haven’t connected Stripe pay $0.99 instead of $0.49, and countries without Stripe pay 4.99% + $0.49 on every sale.
- Canada. Sales to US buyers under $750 and 20 lb ship on a Grailed Label the buyer pays for. From $750 you buy your own label, and the shipping you charge counts toward the commission.
- Currency. Every sale is in US dollars. If your payout account is in another currency, it is converted at the payment processor’s rate, which Grailed doesn’t publish.
Ways to keep more of each sale
- Price just under $120, or at $124.11 or more with a $10 label. With your own label, keep the item plus shipping under $120.
- Check offers against the line before you accept or counter one.
- Connect Stripe. It cuts the fixed part of processing from $0.99 to $0.49, and international payments from 5.49% to 4.99%.
- Add your VAT or GST number if you’re registered, so Grailed stops adding tax to its commission.
- Let the buyer pay for the label. Free shipping moves the whole label onto you: on a $100 item with a $10 label it costs you $9.65.
To run the same sale through other resale apps, try the Depop fee calculator, the eBay fee calculator or the Poshmark fee calculator.
