How Much Margin Are You Leaving on the Table? (Platform Fee Breakdown)
Most sneaker resellers don't know their true margin until the payout lands.
We ran the numbers on eBay vs. StockX vs. GOAT across 7 price points. The results are not what most people expect.
Key finding: eBay's 8% sneaker FVF beats StockX's 12.5% effective rate on every pair over $300 — but most resellers still default to StockX out of habit.
On a $500 pair:
eBay net: ~$430 (after 8% FVF + $12 shipping)
StockX net: ~$437 (12.5% but no shipping)
GOAT net: ~$413 (12.4% + $5 shipping)
StockX wins at $500 by $7. eBay wins at $600+. GOAT rarely wins on new pairs.
