What the fee buys you

eBay. You list, photograph, answer buyers and ship. Eligible bags go through eBay's Authenticity Guarantee automatically: you ship to an authenticator, who inspects the item, generally within 2 business days, before it goes to the buyer. eBay says it covers the cost of authentication14.

Vestiaire Collective. Listing is free; the 12% charge applies between $83 and $16,667, with a $10 minimum charge below and a $2,000 cap above, plus 3% payment processing2. Vestiaire also runs a page saying it takes no commission on over 4,000 eligible brands, with the 3% processing fee still charged6.

Rebag consignment. Rebag quotes a payout range upfront, lists the item within 5 to 10 days and pays 4 to 5 weeks after it sells. Its handbag commission runs from 32% up to $1,000 down to 15% above $9,0003. Rebag also offers an outright buyout and a trade5.

Fashionphile. Fashionphile makes an upfront offer and pays once it has received and authenticated the item, with free insured shipping. Choosing store credit or a Neiman Marcus gift card adds a 10% bonus7. There is no commission to compare: the offer is the payout.

Our arithmetic on published rates, assuming the same sale price everywhere and ignoring shipping and tax. eBay charges on the total amount of the sale including shipping and tax. Rebag's rate follows its estimated resale price and may be adapted by item.

Handbag questions

Is consignment worth the higher commission?

It depends on your time and the price you would get yourself. Consignment sells for you; a marketplace leaves you more of a sale you have to make happen. Compare a consignment quote with a marketplace net on the same price.

Who decides whether my bag is authentic?

Each platform's own process. eBay uses authenticators for eligible items4; Fashionphile pays after it authenticates7; Rebag inspects and verifies before listing3. We make no authenticity claims.

About this page

We do not earn anything from purchases today. Every product link is a plain link to the merchant's own page, without an affiliate code. We may join merchants' affiliate programs in the future, and this notice will say so before that changes.

Fees, commission rates and payout terms belong to each platform and can change. The platform's own page is the final word on fees, payouts and terms.

LuxeResale Guide compares published fee schedules. We do not authenticate, buy or sell items, and we do not vouch for any listing. Net payout figures are our arithmetic on published rates, not quotes.
