Selling on Vestiaire Collective: fees, authentication and when it’s worth it
Vestiaire Collective specialises in pre-owned designer and luxury fashion. Buyers come for specific brands and accept higher prices, but the fees are much heavier than on Vinted. It all comes down to the maths.
Seller fees
Based on the fee schedule for items listed since June 2026:
- Under €75: €12 selling fee + €3 payment processing fee.
- From €75 to €15,000: 17% selling fee + 3% processing fee.
Example: a bag sold for €120 costs €20.40 in selling fees and €3.60 in processing, leaving €96 for you. An item sold for €40 leaves you €25: more than a third goes in fees.
Compare with what you’d make on Vinted or eBay using our fee and margin calculator (in French).
Listing review
A listing doesn’t go live straight away: the Vestiaire Collective team checks the photos, description and price, and may suggest lowering it. To get approved first time:
- sharp photos of the front, the back, the labels, serial numbers and stitching;
- flaws photographed and described;
- proof of purchase (invoice, receipt) if you have it: it’s often requested for luxury brands and lowers the risk of rejection.
After the sale: shipping and authentication
- You receive a prepaid shipping label and send the item.
- Depending on its value and the option the buyer chose, it goes through an authentication centre, which checks that it’s genuine and matches the listing (allow a few business days).
- Once it passes, the item ships to the buyer and your payment is released.
Buyers can also send you offers: reply quickly, because an unanswered offer expires.
Vestiaire or Vinted: when it’s worth it
- Yes for luxury and designer brands above roughly €100: authentication reassures buyers, who pay more.
- No for items under €75: the €15 in fixed fees eats your margin, and Vinted (no seller commission) pays better.
- Both for anything in between: list it on Vinted and Vestiaire, and keep whichever sells first.
Vestiaire Collective in your inventory
OnceAndSold imports your Vestiaire Collective listings and sales alongside those from Vinted, Leboncoin, eBay and Beebs. When an item sells elsewhere, the Vestiaire listing is removed; when you get a Vestiaire offer, the app accepts, declines or counters based on your floor price. You can also lower the price from the app, or let automatic price drops do it (in whole euros, never below your floor). See also: selling on several sites without double sales.
