How to sell on Grailed: from your first listing to your first payout
Por Oleksandr Shaniuk · fundador de Sellura · Actualizado el 1 de noviembre de 2026
To sell on Grailed, you create an account, add payment details, and publish a listing that Grailed may review before it goes live. Grailed's help sets out five steps: create an account, click Sell, connect a payment account, create the listing and publish it. The payment account comes first, because Grailed asks for it before your first listing can be published. Once a piece sells, you have 7 calendar days to ship it, and Grailed releases the money within 3 calendar days of delivery (help centre, read 1 November 2026).

Grailed charges no listing fee. It takes 6% of a sale under $120, at least $1.99, and 9% from $120, plus 3.49% + $0.49 payment processing on a US payment for a seller onboarded with Stripe. A $60 sale leaves you $53.82 (our calculation, before shipping). Below: what to have ready, how to fill each field the way Grailed's reviewers want it, the fees, offers, shipping and payday.
What you need before your first listing
Grailed is a marketplace for designer clothing, streetwear and menswear, and it is built around designers: every listing picks one from Grailed's list, in a field of its own. Its help says custom items and items without a designer can be removed, and some designers aren't allowed at all. So the first question is whether the piece fits. The second is how you get paid.
| You need | Why |
|---|---|
| A Grailed account | WhyFree to create. Grailed is free for buyers, and sellers pay only when something sells |
| A payment account, ideally Stripe | WhyGrailed asks for it before your first listing is published. Onboarding with Stripe takes about 5 to 10 minutes, and a US seller onboarded with Stripe pays 3.49% + $0.49 processing instead of 3.49% + $0.99 |
| A piece with a known designer | WhyCustom items and items without a designer can be removed. If the designer isn't in the dropdown, you can ask Grailed to add it |
| The required photos | WhyBrand tag, wash tag, any stamp or serial number, and for sneakers the inner size tag, outsole and both sides of the tongue |
| A tape measure | WhyGrailed strongly recommends measurements, and a buyer can return an item whose measurements were described wrongly |

How to list on Grailed, field by field
Click Sell, at the top right on the website or in the bottom bar of the app, and fill in the form in the order below. Grailed's How to Sell Guide says the best way for buyers to find an item is to describe it simply and accurately, and warns against filling the title and description with keywords and adjectives.
Grailed publishes no character limit for the title or the description. What it publishes is three to six words for the title and 10 tags of 32 characters for the keywords.
Pick the designer
From Grailed's dropdown. The designer has its own field, so it stays out of the title.
Write a title of three to six words
Name the piece the way the designer or retailer named it: the model, the item and one or two details. With Rick Owens in the designer field, "Geobasket High Top Sneakers Black Milk" is six words.
Set the category, size and condition
The size and condition must be correct: Grailed counts them in Account Health, and a buyer can return an item they don't match.
Add the photos Grailed requires
Brand tag, wash tag, stamp or serial number, every flaw, and for sneakers the size tag, outsole and tongue. Blurry photos can get a listing rejected.
Describe the condition, the flaws and the measurements
Then the tagged size, and the collection and year if you know them. Leave out links, handles and other marketplaces: Grailed treats them as offsite activity.
Add up to 10 tags
Up to 32 characters each, for style, era, material, season or motif, such as archive, y2k or mohair. No designers in the tags.
Price it with the fee in mind, then publish
Check which side of $120 the sale lands on. Then hit Publish.

After you publish: review, bumps and expiry
Your listing may not appear straight away. Grailed's moderators can put a listing into a review queue, and one approved there can take a few business days to show in the marketplace. An item that qualifies for digital authentication is checked by Grailed's authenticators first, and they may email you for more photos.
Once it is live, you can bump it to the top of search and your followers' feeds every 7 days for the first 30 days, and after that only with a price drop of 10% or more. A listing expires after six months and leaves search. You can relist it from the Expired Listings tab within 30 days, or it is deleted.

How much Grailed takes from a sale
Grailed's fee has two parts. The seller commission, in its help updated 13 May 2026, is 6% of the sale price under $120 with a $1.99 minimum, for sales from 20 May 2026, and 9% from $120. The sale price counts the shipping you charge, unless the order ships on a Grailed Label. Payment processing is separate: 3.49% + $0.49 on a US payment and 4.99% + $0.49 on an international one, for a seller onboarded with Stripe.
The 9% covers the whole sale, not just the part above $120. That makes $119 a better price than $120 to $123: a $119 sale leaves you $107.22 and a $120 sale $104.52.
| Sale price | Grailed takes | You keep |
|---|---|---|
| $25 | Grailed takes$3.35 | You keep$21.65 |
| $60 | Grailed takes$6.18 | You keep$53.82 |
| $119 | Grailed takes$11.78 | You keep$107.22 |
| $120 | Grailed takes$15.48 | You keep$104.52 |
| $200 | Grailed takes$25.47 | You keep$174.53 |

Offers: accepting one is a sale
Most offers on Grailed are binding. When you accept a binding offer the sale is final and the buyer is charged, so price the listing so that any offer you would accept still pays. You have 24 hours to accept or counter, and the offer expires after that.
A counteroffer voids the buyer's binding offer, and the buyer doesn't have to accept yours. Offers stay non-binding only when both you and the buyer are in the EU, the UK or another place that doesn't allow automatically binding transactions.

Shipping and getting paid
In the US, eligible sales ship on a Grailed Label: a prepaid label the buyer pays for, ready as soon as the item sells, with tracking added for you. It covers listings shipping within the US and Puerto Rico, and from Canada to the US under $750 and 20 pounds. Sellers elsewhere buy their own label. Either way you have 7 calendar days from the sale to ship and add tracking, or the sale is cancelled and the buyer refunded.
Grailed releases your money within 3 calendar days of the item showing as delivered, unless there is a dispute or an investigation. A US bank then takes 2 to 3 business days, and sellers outside the US can wait up to 10 more business days. Going away? Vacation Mode lasts up to 21 days, your listings stay buyable, and you ship within 7 days of its end date.

Is selling on Grailed worth it?
For a piece whose designer is the reason someone buys it, usually yes: Grailed's departments, search and review are built around designers, and its buyers come looking for them. For unbranded, custom or everyday clothing, no: Grailed can remove it. On fees alone Grailed costs more than Depop, which charges US sellers processing only, so compare the two on your own price before you choose.

What Sellura does, and what it doesn't
Sellura writes the listing in Grailed's shape. Describe the piece once, in a few words or with a photo, and it returns a title of three to six words, about 40 characters, with the designer left out, up to 10 tags of up to 32 characters for style, era and material, never a designer's name, and a description that opens with the condition and the flaws you gave. It never invents a measurement, a flaw or a claim of authenticity, and it never names another marketplace in the text. Each listing comes back scored 0–100, and the score is deterministic: the same text always gets the same number, and each weak factor comes with one concrete fix.
The score and the title preview are free on every generation, no card, and so are the listing checker and the Grailed fee calculator. A credit unlocks the finished listing: Starter is $15 a month for 25 credits or $150 a year, and Pro is $24 a month for 65 credits plus bulk, or $240 a year. Sellura doesn't post to Grailed, authenticate items or track rankings, has no keyword database, and is not affiliated with Grailed.
