Open calculatorThe short version
Vestiaire Collective restructured its UK seller fees on 9 March 2026. For items listed in GBP since then, the selling fee is 12% of the sale price, plus a 3% payment processing fee — 15% in all on most sales. Under £83 the selling fee is a flat £10 instead, so a cheap item loses £13 to fees. The old 5% rate for "eligible brands" no longer appears in Vestiaire's current fee table: every brand pays the same.
Vestiaire is positioned differently from Vinted, Depop, or eBay. It's the platform you use for luxury and premium pieces — Mulberry, Chanel, designer handbags, premium outerwear — where the audience pays for authentication and curation, and is willing to absorb the slightly higher buyer-side costs that come with it.
The current fee structure
For items listed in GBP from 9 March 2026:
| Fee | Who pays | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Listing fee | — | £0 |
| Selling fee — items under £83 | Seller | £10 fixed |
| Selling fee — items £83 to £16,667 | Seller | 12% of the sale price |
| Selling fee — items over £16,667 | Seller | £2,000 fixed |
| Payment processing fee | Seller | 3% of the sale price, minimum £3 |
| Authentication & Quality Control (Authenticated Shipping) | Buyer | £15 per item, paid by the buyer; sellers aren't charged for it |
Vestiaire won't accept a listing priced under £14. Items you listed before 9 March 2026 were listed under the earlier fee schedule, which Vestiaire keeps in its help centre.
Worked example
You list a like-new Mulberry Bayswater in chestnut at £550. It sells to a UK buyer.
- Selling fee: £550 × 12% = £66
- Payment processing fee: £550 × 3% = £16.50
- You receive: £467.50
For a sub-£83 item — say a £60 silk scarf:
- Selling fee: £10 fixed
- Payment processing fee: £3 (3% would be £1.80, so the £3 minimum applies)
- You receive: £47.00

How this compares to other UK platforms
| Platform | Seller commission | Other fees on the seller |
|---|---|---|
| Vestiaire Collective | 12% on items £83 and over; £10 fixed under £83 | 3% payment processing (minimum £3) |
| Vinted UK | 0% | None on standard sales |
| Depop UK | 0% (since 2024) | 2.9% + £0.30 payment processing per transaction |
| eBay UK (private) | 0% on most items | £0.35 per listing above the 300 free monthly allowance; buyer pays a separate Buyer Protection fee, included in the price they see |
On pure fee maths, Vestiaire costs a seller far more than Vinted: 15% of a £500 sale is £75, where Vinted takes nothing from the seller. What separates Vestiaire is the buyer side: authentication, curation, and a buyer base that's prepared to pay luxury second-hand prices. If you're selling a Mulberry, a Chanel, or a designer piece in great condition, the audience on Vestiaire is doing different shopping from the audience on Vinted — and that can translate into a higher sale price, which may offset the fee difference.
Things worth knowing
- Low-value items are expensive to sell here. Under £83, fees are a fixed £10 selling fee plus £3 processing — £13 off any sale, which is over half of a £20 item. Vestiaire makes most sense for pieces well above that line.
- £83 is the break point. From £83 the selling fee switches to 12%, which at £83 is £9.96, so an item at £83 costs slightly less in fees than one at £82.
- The fee depends on when you listed. These rates apply to items listed in GBP from 9 March 2026; older listings were made under the previous schedule.
- Direct Shipping vs authentication. The buyer chooses between Direct Shipping (the item goes straight from you to them without a Vestiaire check, for items listed at £1,000 or less where both sides are in an eligible country) and Authenticated Shipping (the item goes via a Vestiaire hub first, with a £15 authentication fee paid by the buyer). That choice changes the buyer's costs and the delivery time; Vestiaire's seller-fee table above lists no difference by route.
