Question 1

What fees does StockX charge sellers?

Accepted Answer

StockX charges a transaction fee (7-9% based on your Seller Level) and a payment processing fee (3%, currently waived). The transaction fee decreases as you complete more sales each quarter. Level 3-5 sellers can also earn up to 2% off through performance bonuses.

Question 2

How do I increase my StockX Seller Level?

Accepted Answer

Your Seller Level is based on quarterly sales volume. Complete 3 sales to reach Level 2, 40 sales for Level 3, 200 sales for Level 4, and 800 sales for Level 5. You can also qualify based on dollar volume: $1,500 for Level 2, $5,000 for Level 3, $25,000 for Level 4, and $100,000 for Level 5.

Question 3

What are StockX performance bonuses?

Accepted Answer

Level 3, 4, and 5 sellers can earn up to 2% off their transaction fee through performance bonuses. Ship 80%+ of orders within 36 hours to earn the Quick Ship Bonus (-1%), and ship 95%+ of orders on time to earn the Successful Ship Bonus (-1%). These bonuses are recalculated monthly.

Question 4

Does StockX charge for shipping?

Accepted Answer

No, StockX provides free prepaid UPS shipping labels for most sales. You simply pack your item, print the label, and drop it off at UPS. In rare cases (international or oversized items), you may need to pay for shipping yourself.

Question 5

Is the 3% payment processing fee still charged?

Accepted Answer

StockX is currently running a limited-time promotion where the 3% payment processing fee is waived (0%). However, this is temporary, and the fee may return at any time. The standard rate is 3% of the sale price. The calculator allows you to toggle this fee on/off.

Question 6

How is the transaction fee calculated?

Accepted Answer

The transaction fee is a percentage of the sale price. For example, if you sell a pair of sneakers for $300 at Level 1 (9%), the transaction fee is $27. If you are at Level 5 (7%) with both performance bonuses (-2%), your effective rate is 5%, so the fee would be $15.

Question 7

What happens if I fail authentication?

Accepted Answer

If your item fails StockX authentication process, it will be returned to you, and you will pay a 15% fee (capped at $13.95 for items under $100). This fee covers authentication costs and return shipping. Always ensure items are 100% authentic before listing.
