Vestiaire Collective's commission bands

Commission depends entirely on the price band the item falls into, with the low and very high ends treated differently:

The bands are unusually generous at both extremes

Items under $80 carry no percentage commission — just a flat $3 processing charge. Items above $13,000 also drop to 0% commission. Everything between pays the standard 15%, which is the band nearly all real resale activity sits in.

Physical authentication is included, and that is the point of the platform: buyers pay a premium for the guarantee, which supports higher prices than a general marketplace can achieve for the same handbag.

Luxury resale arbitrage

Sourcing authenticated designer pieces below market — from estate sales, consignment stores, or underpriced listings elsewhere — and reselling into a buyer base that trusts the authentication is a well-established arbitrage lane. The 15% commission is competitive against the 20% Poshmark takes and eBay's 15% handbag rate.

The risk is capital and time. Luxury items are expensive to hold and can sit for months, so factor the wait into whether a 15-point spread is actually worth taking.

Vestiaire Collective fee questions

How much commission does Vestiaire Collective take?

15% on items priced between $80 and $13,000. Items under $80 pay a flat $3 fee with no commission, and items over $13,000 carry no commission.

Do buyers pay a fee on Vestiaire Collective?

Yes — buyers pay up to a 5% buyer fee, capped around $15. It does not reduce your payout but it does raise the total price the buyer sees.

Is authentication included?

Physical authentication is part of the service on eligible items, which is what allows the platform to sustain higher prices than unauthenticated marketplaces.

Vestiaire or Poshmark for designer items?

Vestiaire's 15% beats Poshmark's 20%, and its authentication supports higher prices on true luxury. Poshmark moves contemporary and mid-tier brands faster. Compare both above.
