Grailed Fees in 2026: 6% Under $120, 9% From $120 Up

The seller fee

Grailed is free for buyers. Sellers pay a commission, which Grailed’s fees page sets out as two bands:

The fee applies to domestic and international transactions. The page also says promotional commission rates may apply to certain transactions under separate terms from Grailed, so a promotion could change your number. Our fee change log records the May 20 change.

What the sale price includes

The commission is charged on the “sale price,” which Grailed defines as the listing price your item sells for, plus any shipping charged to the buyer if you are not using a Grailed Label. With a Grailed Label, the sale price is the listing price only.

That matters because Grailed’s label page says all U.S.-to-U.S. transactions (Puerto Rico included) are required to use Grailed Labels. For a U.S. seller shipping to a U.S. buyer, then, the commission base is the price you list, or the price after an accepted offer, which we take to be what “sells for” means.

The $1.99 minimum

Six percent of a small sale is less than the floor, so the floor wins. By our arithmetic the minimum applies at every sale price up to $33.24; from $33.25, 6% rounds to more than $1.99 (that boundary assumes half-cents round up; Grailed doesn’t state its rounding).

On a $10.00 item the commission alone takes about a fifth, before processing. If you sell cheap items, see where items under $20 net the most in our cheap-item guide.

The processing fee

Grailed charges a payment processing fee on every transaction, separate from the commission. Per its processing page (last edited March 7, 2025), the rates depend on where you are and whether you have onboarded with Stripe:

Grailed adds that it can change all fees at any time. The page does not say which amount the percentage is applied to, whether the listing price alone or something larger. We compute it on the listing price in this guide and treat that as a floor, not a confirmed figure. The page also says rates may vary with how the buyer purchases the listing. If the rate is also applied to the buyer’s shipping or other charges, your real processing fee is higher.

Two worked examples

Both assume a seller onboarded with Stripe in a Stripe-eligible country, a U.S. buyer, a Grailed Label paid by the buyer, and a sale date of October 24, 2026.

Without Stripe onboarding the fixed part is $0.99 instead of $0.49, so total fees are $6.68 on the $60.00 sale and $19.73 on the $150.00 sale, and you would keep $53.32 and $130.27. The cost of a label is not in these figures because, with a Grailed Label, the buyer pays for shipping with their order; the page says a free-shipping offer moves that cost to you.

The $120 line

Because the table gives one rate per band, we read the rate as applying to the whole sale price, not only to the part above $120. The page shows no worked example at the line, so check a real sale statement before you rely on this reading.

On that reading, one cent changes the rate:

A $120.00 listing keeps $3.59 less than a $119.99 one. A listing price has to reach $124.10 to keep the same $108.11 as $119.99. So on this reading, any price from $120.00 to $124.09 keeps less than $119.99 does. Check a real sale statement to confirm.

Shipping, payouts and refunds

• Shipping. Per the label page, the buyer pays for a Grailed Label at checkout, unless you choose free standard ground shipping. In that case the shipping cost is calculated at the time of sale and deducted from your payment, and it can change with carrier rates. The page gives no price table, so we do not model it. Signature confirmation is added automatically on U.S. Grailed Label listings over $750, with a $4 fee that the buyer pays, or you pay if shipping is free.
• When you get paid. Grailed says it releases funds within 3 calendar days of the item showing as delivered, barring disputes, investigations or legal holds. If you are in the U.S., allow 2 to 3 business days for your financial institution. You have 7 calendar days to add tracking and ship, or the sale is cancelled and the buyer refunded.
• Refunds. After a full refund to the buyer, Grailed says the fees are refunded automatically. The exception: if the refund follows a lost-claim, the seller is not eligible for a fee refund.

Bottom line

Grailed’s fee is 6% (minimum $1.99) under $120 and 9% from $120, charged on the listing price when you use a Grailed Label, plus processing that the help page states as 3.49% + $0.49 for sellers onboarded with Stripe. The $1.99 floor weighs most on cheap items, and the $120 line is where the rate steps up.
