Enter your buy cost and expected sale price. Kickflip applies GOAT's commission for your seller rating plus shipping to show your payout and margin.
Fee estimates use the primary tier rate from each platform's public schedule. Tiered pricing, promotion rates, and buyer-fee ranges vary — always confirm current rates with the platform before listing.
GOAT's commission is a performance system, not a flat rate — cancellations and late shipments move you into punitive tiers:
| Category / tier | Selling fee | Payment processing | Buyer-side fee |
|---|---|---|---|
| Seller Rating 90%+ (Standard Tier)Base fee varies by location ($5 US, $12 CAN, $20 Intl) | 9.50% | $0.00 | $0.00 |
| Seller Rating 70% - 89%Penalty fee tier for cancellations or delays | 15.00% | $0.00 | $0.00 |
| Seller Rating 60% - 69%High penalty fee tier | 20.00% | $0.00 | $0.00 |
| Seller Rating < 60%Maximum fee penalty tier | 25.00% | $0.00 | $0.00 |
Rates change. Treat these as estimates and confirm against GOAT's current published fee schedule before you commit to a purchase.
At 90%+ you pay 9.5%. Slip to the 70–89% band and it jumps to 15%; below 60% it hits 25%. A handful of cancelled orders can therefore cost you more than any sourcing mistake, because the penalty applies to every subsequent sale until the rating recovers.
There is also a base seller fee that varies by location — around $5 in the US, $12 in Canada, $20 internationally — on top of the commission percentage.
GOAT competes directly with StockX for the same inventory, and prices differ between them on any given model. Running the same pair through both in the calculator — with your actual commission tier on each — is the fastest way to pick the better exit.
Only list what you physically have in hand. The cancellation penalty structure makes speculative listing an expensive habit.
9.5% for sellers rated 90% or above, rising to 15% at 70–89%, 20% at 60–69%, and 25% below 60%. A location-based seller fee also applies — roughly $5 in the US.
It reflects your order completion — cancellations, late shipments and failed authentications drag it down, which directly raises the commission on your next sales.
For a well-rated seller the rates are close, so the deciding factor is usually which platform prices the specific model higher. Run both through the calculator with your real tier.
You cover shipping the pair to GOAT for authentication. Enter that label cost as seller shipping so the margin reflects it.
