Sneakers on eBay: the $150 line
On eBay.com, athletic shoes sold for $150 or more pay 8% and no per-order fee. Under $150 the usual 13.6% plus $0.30 to $0.40 applies. StockX charges 9% + 3% at level 1 whatever the price, with a $5 minimum.
In the UK
UK private sellers pay nothing on eBay; the buyer pays a Buyer Protection fee. Business sellers pay 11.9% on trainers, or 7% from £100, plus £0.40 per order and 0.35%, with VAT.
Beyond fees
Buyers don’t pay the same price on each platform, so compare what a pair actually sells for on both, not only the fees.
