Frequently Asked Questions

Can I sell on multiple platforms simultaneously?

Yes, but be ready to remove listings immediately when one sells to avoid double-selling and negative seller ratings. Use inventory management tools if listing 3+ platforms.

What if my pair fails authentication?

StockX/GOAT return it to you and may charge return shipping ($15-20). They'll provide rejection reason. You can dispute if you believe it's authentic.

Should I use instant payout options?

Only if you need cash immediately. Instant payout typically costs 2-3% extra on top of regular fees, significantly eating into profit.

Is selling locally safer than online?

Cash transactions eliminate platform fees but carry physical safety risks. Meet in public places, bring a friend, and verify bills for counterfeits.

Do I need original box and accessories?

For StockX/GOAT yes - must include original box, extra laces, and all accessories that came with retail pair. eBay/Grailed more flexible.
