The 11 best sites to sell shoes online in 2026 (fees compared)

The best sites to sell shoes online, from StockX and GOAT to eBay, Depop, and Facebook Marketplace, with seller fees, authentication, and who each platform suits.

The best site to sell shoes online depends on what you're selling. Here's the short answer:

• Hyped or limited sneakers: StockX or GOAT, for built-in authentication and buyers who pay market price.
• The biggest audience: eBay, which reaches buyers worldwide and has a lower fee on sneakers priced at $150 or more in the US.
• Designer and high-end streetwear: Grailed.
• Vintage and trendy styles: Depop or Poshmark.
• Fast local cash with no shipping: Facebook Marketplace or OfferUp.
• Hands-off selling: ThredUp, which lists, prices, and ships for you in exchange for a smaller payout.

The table below compares all 11 sites at a glance. Below it you'll find a breakdown of each platform's fees, strengths, and drawbacks, plus a few tips for choosing.

Fees change often, so check each platform's fee page before you list.

How to choose where to sell your shoes

No single marketplace wins for every pair. Before you list, weigh these four things:

• What the shoe is worth. Percentage fees hurt most on cheap pairs, and flat fees hurt most on very cheap ones. A $40 pair of used runners does better locally or on a low-fee app, while a $300 pair of sneakers can absorb a 10% commission on a platform where buyers pay full market price.
• Whether buyers need proof it's real. For hyped sneakers, authentication is what makes buyers pay full price. StockX and GOAT check every pair, and eBay checks eligible sneakers over $150. On platforms without authentication, expect more questions, lower offers, and more disputes.
• Local or shipped. Facebook Marketplace and OfferUp are the fastest way to turn shoes into cash, with no fees and no packing. The trade-off is a smaller pool of buyers, haggling, and meetups.
• How much work you want to do. Listing-based apps like eBay, Depop, and Mercari reward good photos and quick replies. ThredUp does everything for you but keeps most of the sale price.

If you're reselling seriously, list the same pair on two or three platforms and take it down everywhere once it sells. That's the simplest way to find out where your shoes actually move.

Tips to sell more shoes online

Whichever platform you pick, a few habits make the biggest difference to how fast your shoes sell and what you get for them:

• Pick a lane. Sellers who focus on one niche, such as retro Jordans, trail runners, or designer heels, build repeat buyers faster than generalists. See these niche market examples for ideas.
• Source below market. Profit is made when you buy. Retail drops, outlet stores, clearance sales, and local pickups are the usual sources; this guide on where to buy items to resell covers more.
• Price from sold listings, not asking prices. Check recent sales on eBay or the last sale price on StockX and GOAT, then work back from the fees and shipping to the price you need. More on that in these ecommerce pricing strategies.
• Photograph everything. Shoot both shoes from every angle, plus the soles, insoles, size tag, and box. For used pairs, show every sign of wear up front; it prevents most returns and disputes.
• Answer fast and ship faster. Most marketplaces rank listings partly by seller responsiveness and shipping speed, and quick replies close sales on local apps.
• Graduate to your own store when you're ready. Once you have repeat buyers, a store on a platform like Shopify lets you skip marketplace commissions. Compare options in our roundup of the best ecommerce platforms.

The best sites for selling shoes online

Here's a closer look at each platform, including who it suits, its drawbacks, and what it charges sellers.

1. eBay

eBay is one of the largest and most established online marketplaces, and it gives sellers access to a global audience. You can sell almost anything on it, from new sneakers and everyday shoes to rare vintage pairs.

Auction listings let buyers bid against each other on unique or high-demand shoes, while fixed-price listings suit everyday pairs. In the US, eBay also authenticates eligible sneakers sold for $150 or more, which gives buyers of hyped pairs more confidence.

Pros:

• Global audience
• Auction and fixed-price listings
• Authentication on eligible sneakers $150+ in the US

Cons:

• High competition
• Fees on lower-priced shoes add up

Pricing: In the US, eligible sneakers sold for $150 or more carry a reduced 8% final value fee and no per-order fee. Shoes under $150 pay the standard clothing and shoes final value fee plus a small per-order fee, and the rate depends on whether you have an eBay Store subscription.

2. Depop

Depop is a fashion marketplace that's especially popular with Gen Z and younger millennial buyers. That makes it a strong fit for streetwear, custom sneakers, vintage styles, and anything that's trending.

Each seller gets a shop with a social media-style feed, and buyers can follow shops and message sellers directly, so the experience feels personal. Depop started in the UK and now has large buyer bases in the US and Australia too. Its audience skews heavily toward fashion, though, so classic or orthopedic footwear won't get much attention.

Pros:

• Ideal for vintage and trendy fashion shoes
• Social, Instagram-like platform
• Strong community focus

Cons:

• Audience skews young and trend-driven
• Less suited to formal, basic, or specialty footwear

Pricing: US sellers have paid no selling fee since 2024. You still pay a payment processing fee on each sale, and Boosted listings cost extra if you use them.

3. Facebook Marketplace

Facebook Marketplace lets you sell shoes to people nearby for free, which makes it one of the quickest ways to turn a pair into cash. You can also post listings in local buy and sell groups to reach more buyers.

It's simple to use and built into Facebook, so you message buyers through Messenger. The drawbacks: shipping isn't available everywhere, buyers haggle hard, and local meetups attract scams such as fake payment screenshots and overpayment tricks. Meet in a public place and take cash or a verified payment before handing the shoes over.

Pros:

• Free to list and free for local sales
• Large, active user base
• Easy communication through Messenger

Cons:

• Limited shipping options
• Limited protections for sellers on local deals

Pricing: Listing and local sales are free. Where shipping is available, orders paid through Facebook's checkout carry a selling fee that's a percentage of the sale.

4. Poshmark

Poshmark is a fashion marketplace where you can sell new and used shoes alongside clothing and accessories. Listing is easy, and shipping is simple: Poshmark emails you a prepaid label when a pair sells. The catch is a 20% commission on most sales, which is among the highest on this list.

Pros:

• Easy shipping with prepaid labels
• Large audience focused on fashion
• Social features like "shares" help promote listings

Cons:

• High commission fees
• Primarily US-focused audience

Pricing: Poshmark charges a flat $2.95 on sales under $15 and 20% on sales of $15 or more.

5. Mercari

Mercari is a general marketplace where you can sell new or used shoes alongside almost anything else. It's easy to use, and you can either print a prepaid shipping label or ship on your own.

The listing process takes a couple of minutes, so it works well for casual sellers clearing out a closet. Keep in mind that Mercari only operates in the US and Japan, and its audience is smaller than eBay's.

Pros:

• Simple to list products
• Prepaid shipping labels
• No listing fees

Cons:

• Smaller audience than bigger platforms like eBay
• Only operates in the US and Japan

Pricing: Listing is free. Mercari's US seller fees have changed several times since 2024, so check its current selling and payment processing fees before you list.

6. OfferUp

OfferUp is a peer-to-peer marketplace for buying and selling mostly used goods, including shoes. It focuses on local deals, but its shipping option lets you sell to buyers anywhere in the US. In-app messaging keeps conversations with buyers in one place.

Pros:

• Easy local sales without shipping
• In-app messaging makes communication simple
• No listing fees

Cons:

• Smaller audience for shipped sales

Pricing: Local sales are free. OfferUp takes 12.9% on shipped items, with a minimum fee of $1.99.

7. Grailed

Grailed is a marketplace for menswear, especially designer pieces and high-end streetwear. Its buyers know their stuff, which makes it a strong place for designer sneakers and boots, archive pieces, and limited releases. Grailed's moderation team reviews listings to weed out fakes, but it doesn't physically inspect every pair the way StockX and GOAT do.

Pros:

• Strong focus on designer and streetwear shoes
• Knowledgeable buyers willing to pay for rare pieces
• Loyal, niche audience

Cons:

• High competition in the luxury segment
• No physical authentication of every pair

Pricing: Grailed charges a 9% commission, plus payment processing fees that vary by country.

8. StockX

StockX is built for reselling sneakers, streetwear, and collectibles. It works like a stock market: sellers set asking prices, buyers place bids, and a sale happens when a bid and an ask match. Prices are public, so you can see what a pair actually sells for before you list.

Every pair ships to StockX for verification before it reaches the buyer, which is why sneakerheads trust it. The flip side is strict seller rules: shoes must be deadstock, and late or wrong shipments can cost you penalty fees. StockX is at its best for rare and limited-edition pairs.

Pros:

• Trusted authentication process
• Ideal for rare and collectible shoes
• Transparent market pricing

Cons:

• Strict policies for sellers, new shoes only
• Fees can be high for lower-priced shoes

Pricing: StockX charges a transaction fee that starts around 9% and drops as your seller level rises, plus a 3% payment processing fee.

9. Kixify

Kixify is a marketplace just for sneakers, which makes it a natural fit for sneakerheads and collectors. Whether you're selling rare, limited-edition pairs or everyday athletic shoes, its buyers come specifically for sneakers. You can list new and used pairs and set your own prices.

That focus is also its main drawback. If you sell boots, dress shoes, or anything else, Kixify won't help you.

Pros:

• Niche platform focused on sneakers
• You set your own prices
• Accepts new and used pairs

Cons:

• Sneakers only, no other types of footwear
• No authentication, so buyers may be more cautious

Pricing: Kixify has no listing fees and takes a commission on each sale. Check its seller terms for the current rate.

10. GOAT

GOAT is one of the leading marketplaces for sneakers and high-end shoes, especially limited-edition and collectible styles. It authenticates pairs before they reach the buyer, and unlike StockX it accepts used sneakers in good condition. Sellers outside the US pay higher location-based fees.

Pros:

• Rigorous authentication process
• Accepts new and used sneakers
• Large, engaged audience of sneaker fans

Cons:

• Fees can get expensive compared to other platforms
• Limited to sneakers and high-end shoes

Pricing: GOAT charges a 9.5% commission for sellers in good standing, which rises (up to 25%) if your seller rating drops. On top of that, there's a seller fee based on your location and a cash-out fee when you withdraw your earnings.

11. ThredUp

ThredUp is the most hands-off option on this list. You mail in your used shoes and clothes, and ThredUp photographs, prices, lists, sells, and ships them for you. It's a good way to clear out several pairs without managing individual listings.

The trade-off is your margin. ThredUp sets the price and you keep only a share of each sale, which is small for cheaper items. It's better for clearing a closet than for running a resale business.

Pros:

• Hands-off selling process
• Environmentally conscious, secondhand marketplace
• Large customer base interested in sustainable fashion

Cons:

• Low payouts on cheaper items
• No control over pricing
• Only accepts used items in excellent condition

Pricing: Your payout is a percentage of the final sale price on a sliding scale. It's a small share for low-priced items and up to about 80% for items that sell for $200 or more. There's also a fee if you want unsold items sent back.

Other places worth a look

• Alias: GOAT's app for sellers, built for listing in volume and managing inventory.
• Flight Club: A sneaker consignment store, owned by the same group as GOAT, where you hand over pairs and they sell them for you.
• Whatnot: A live shopping app where sellers auction sneakers on stream.
• Vestiaire Collective and The RealReal: Strong options for designer and luxury shoes, with authentication.
• Vinted: Popular in the UK and Europe for used shoes and clothing, and sellers there don't pay a selling fee.

Best sites to sell shoes online FAQs

Here are answers to the most common questions about where and how to sell shoes online.

What is the best site to sell shoes online?

It depends on the shoe. For hyped or limited sneakers, StockX and GOAT usually get the best prices because buyers trust their authentication. For the widest audience and any type of shoe, eBay is the strongest all-rounder. For used everyday pairs you want gone fast, Facebook Marketplace or OfferUp let you sell locally with no fees.

Where can I sell designer shoes online?

Grailed is a strong choice for designer menswear and sneakers. Vestiaire Collective and The RealReal suit luxury women's and men's shoes and authenticate items. eBay also works well for designer pairs if you write detailed listings and include proof of purchase.

What's the fastest way to sell shoes?

Local sales on Facebook Marketplace or OfferUp are usually fastest, since there's no shipping and buyers can pick up the same day. For hyped sneakers, selling to the highest existing bid on StockX is close to instant.

Can I sell both new and used shoes online?

Yes. eBay, Poshmark, Mercari, Depop, and GOAT all let you sell new and used shoes. StockX only accepts new, unworn pairs. State the condition clearly in every listing and, for used pairs, photograph every sign of wear.

Where can I sell shoes online in the UK?

eBay, Depop, and Vinted are the most popular options for UK sellers, and Vinted doesn't charge sellers a selling fee. For hyped sneakers, StockX and GOAT both operate in the UK.

What are the risks of selling shoes online?

The common ones are disputes over authenticity, returns because of sizing, and scams on local and peer-to-peer apps. To reduce them, use tracked shipping, photograph the exact pair you ship, communicate clearly with buyers, and sell high-end sneakers on platforms that authenticate.
