# StockX fees UK: seller fees, shipping and customs StockX fees for UK sellers in 2026: a 9% to 7% transaction fee by level, 3% processing, a £4.50 minimum and £4 shipping, plus what UK buyers pay in duties. A new UK seller on StockX pays a 9% transaction fee and a 3% payment processing fee on each sale, and StockX takes £4 from the payout for shipping. The transaction fee falls as you sell more, down to 7% at the top seller level. Those figures come from StockX's own help pages, as of October 2026: [What are StockX's fees for sellers?](https://stockx.com/help/en-GB/articles/what-are-stockxs-fees-for-sellers) and [How much does shipping cost for sellers?](https://stockx.com/help/en-GB/articles/how-much-does-shipping-cost-for-sellers). This guide works through each fee, then covers what UK buyers pay in customs. For your own numbers, use the [StockX fee calculator](/stockx-fee-calculator). ## The two seller fees StockX charges every seller two fees on every sale: - **A transaction fee** set by your seller level. StockX calculates it on the final sale price. - **A payment processing fee of 3%.** The more you sell, the lower the transaction fee. StockX shows your current level on the Profile page in your account settings. ## StockX seller levels StockX sets the levels by sales per quarter. The thresholds are in US dollars, even for UK sellers. | Level | Quarterly sales needed | Quarterly sales value needed | Transaction fee | |---|---|---|---| | 1 | None | None | 9% | | 2 | 12 | $1,500 | 8.5% | | 3 | 40 | $5,000 | 8% | | 4 | 200 | $25,000 | 7.5% | | 5 | 800 | $100,000 | 7% | Every new seller starts at level 1. A seller who lists a few pairs a quarter stays there, so plan with 9%. ## The minimum seller fee: £4.50 StockX sets a minimum seller fee for each region. For Great Britain it is **£4.50**. On a cheap item, where 9% would come to less than £4.50, you pay the minimum instead. This makes low-priced items a poor fit for StockX. ## StockX shipping fee for UK sellers StockX takes your shipping cost from your payout. Its shipping page lists the single-item rate for the United Kingdom as **£4.00**. How the shipping works: 1. After a sale, StockX gives you a postage label in the Pending section of StockX Pro. 2. You pack the item and drop it off with the carrier, using that label. 3. StockX's team checks the item and its condition. 4. StockX releases your payout once the item passes. StockX adjusts the shipping cost for heavier items and multi-item packs. Use the label StockX gives you, even if the weight on it looks wrong. StockX also says that, depending on your location, you can ship free by using one of its drop-off locations. ## A worked example Take a pair of trainers that sells for £150, from a level 1 seller in the UK. - Transaction fee: 9% of £150 is **£13.50** - Payment processing: 3% of £150 is **£4.50** - Shipping: **£4.00** Total deductions are £22.00, so the payout is **£128.00**. At level 5, the transaction fee is 7%, or £10.50, and the payout is £131.00. Your profit is that payout minus what you paid for the pair. The [profit calculator](/profit-calculator) does this across all your stock. ## How StockX pays UK sellers StockX pays out through Hyperwallet, a PayPal service. Its [payout page](https://stockx.com/help/en-GB/articles/As-a-Seller-How-and-When-do-I-Get-Paid) says sellers outside the US can choose PayPal, and bank transfer is also available in some countries. British pounds is one of the listed bank transfer currencies. - StockX processes payouts daily for orders that have passed verification. - A bank transfer takes up to 5 working days to arrive after StockX releases the payout, depending on your bank. - StockX says a bank transfer payout can carry a fee equal to $2 USD, depending on the payout currency, and your own bank can charge its own fee. ## StockX customs fees for UK buyers StockX's [Brexit help page](https://stockx.com/help/articles/how-does-brexit-affect-my-experience-with-stockx) says all applicable duties and taxes for UK orders are **included in the price shown at checkout**. For a UK buyer, the checkout price already contains the import charges. What StockX says about UK orders: - Prices can look higher than they did before Brexit, because the import charges are built in. - To reduce customs delays, StockX routes UK buyers to UK sellers through its London Verification Center when it can. - Orders from European sellers can take longer, because of checks at the border. Buyers also pay a processing fee. StockX's [buyer fees page](https://stockx.com/help/en-GB/articles/what-are-stockx-fees-for-buyers) says there is no set percentage. The fees depend on the item price, the locations of the buyer and the seller, and supply and demand, and they do not change after you place a bid. None of the buyer's fees or duties come out of the seller's payout. ## StockX compared with other ways to sell trainers StockX takes about 12% at level 1, plus £4 shipping. In return, you get a fixed-price market, no photos to take and no buyer messages to answer. The alternatives: - **eBay**, where UK private sellers pay [no selling fees](https://www.ebay.co.uk/help/selling/fees-credits-invoices/fees-private-sellers?id=4822) outside the motors categories. Use the [eBay fee calculator](/ebay-fee-calculator). - **Laced**, another authenticated marketplace for trainers. Use the [Laced fee calculator](/laced-fee-calculator) to compare its payout with StockX on the same price. Compare the final payout on each platform, not the headline sale price. Our [sneaker reselling guide](/blog/sneaker-reselling-uk) covers which pairs suit which platform. ## Common questions ### How much are StockX fees in the UK?
