Open calculatorThe short version
Vestiaire Collective restructured its seller fees in March 2026. The headline is that selling fees on most items in GBP are lower than they used to be — and on a large list of eligible brands, there's currently a promotional 0% selling fee. A separate payment-processing fee of 3% still applies to most sales.
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 — eligible brands (promotional) | — | 0% (limited promotion, see notes below) |
| Selling fee — items £100–£40,000 (non-promotional) | Seller | 5% of the sale price |
| Selling fee — items under £100 | Seller | £5 fixed |
| Selling fee — items over £40,000 | Seller | £2,000 fixed |
| Selling fee — brands not in the promotional list | Seller | 12% of the sale price |
| Payment processing fee | Seller | 3% of the sale price (or £3 fixed on items under £100) |
| Optional authentication service (Direct Shipping) | Seller (or absorbed by Vestiaire on Direct) | Varies |
The promotional 0% rate currently applies to a list of 4,000+ eligible brands when listed in GBP. The brand list is published by Vestiaire and changes — if you're not sure whether a brand qualifies, check the brand's listing flow on Vestiaire before you list.
Worked example
You list a like-new Mulberry Bayswater in chestnut at £550. It sells to a UK buyer.
-
If Mulberry is on the promotional list (currently yes):
- Selling fee: £0 (promotional)
- Payment processing fee: £550 × 3% = £16.50
- You receive: £533.50
-
If we step outside the promotional list (e.g. a non-eligible brand at the same price):
- Selling fee: £550 × 12% = £66
- Payment processing fee: £550 × 3% = £16.50
- You receive: £467.50
For a sub-£100 item — say a £60 silk scarf:
- Selling fee: £5 fixed
- Payment processing fee: £3 fixed
- You receive: £52.00
How this compares to other UK platforms
| Platform | Seller commission | Other fees on the seller |
|---|---|---|
| Vestiaire Collective | Tiered (often 5% on items £100+; promotional 0% on many GBP brands; £5 fixed on items under £100) | 3% payment processing (or £3 fixed on items under £100) |
| Vinted UK | 0% | None on standard sales |
| Depop UK | 0% (since July 2024) | 2.9% + £0.30 payment processing per transaction |
| eBay UK (private) | 0% on most items | 40p per order over £10; £0.35 per listing above the 300 free monthly allowance |
Pure fee maths makes Vinted and Vestiaire's promotional rate roughly comparable on a £500 item. 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 often translates into a meaningfully higher sale price, which more than offsets any fee difference.
Things worth knowing
- The promotional 0% rate isn't permanent. Vestiaire describes it as a limited promotion. If you're listing on the basis of zero fees, double-check the rate on the listing flow before you commit.
- The brand list determines the rate. A 12% rate applies to brands outside the promotional list. The same item physically can be priced wildly differently in net terms depending on whether the brand qualifies.
- The £100 threshold matters. Under £100, fees switch to a fixed £5 selling fee + £3 processing — that's £8 minimum off any sale, which is proportionally heavy on lower-value items.
- Direct Shipping vs traditional authentication. Vestiaire offers two routes: Direct Shipping (faster, no authentication step) and traditional (the item goes via Vestiaire's authentication centre before reaching the buyer). The route affects timing and sometimes the fee structure — worth understanding before you list a high-value piece.
