The StockX Seller Program is StockX’s way of rewarding sellers who consistently perform and drive strong sales. Through this program, sellers are assigned a StockX seller level based on either their number of completed sales or total sales value each quarter. Your seller level directly impacts your StockX seller fees (the higher your level, the lower your transaction fees), giving you more profit and a competitive edge in the marketplace.
Seller levels are recalculated every calendar quarter (January–March, April–June, July–September, October–December). As you progress through the StockX seller levels, you’ll unlock reduced fees and, at higher tiers, additional benefits that make selling on StockX more profitable and sustainable long term.
Why Seller Levels Matter
On StockX, seller fees are a critical part of your profit calculation. The Seller Program’s tiered structure means that the more you sell (or the more revenue you generate), the less you’ll pay in fees per transaction. The program creates a real incentive to grow your business and maintain high standards for shipping and authentication.
For new sellers, it’s important to understand that you’ll start at Level 1, but with consistent sales and good performance, you can quickly move up the ranks and keep more of your earnings.
How Seller Levels Are Determined
StockX determines your seller level based on your activity in the most recent calendar quarter. Your level is set by whichever metric you hit first: the number of completed sales or your total sales value in USD. Here’s a quick overview:
- Level 1: New sellers (no minimum sales or revenue required)
- Level 2: 12 sales or $1,500 in sales
- Level 3: 40 sales or $5,000 in sales
- Level 4: 200 sales or $25,000 in sales
- Level 5: 800 sales or $100,000 in sales
Once you reach a new seller level, you’ll keep those benefits for the rest of the current quarter and the following one, even if your sales slow down in that time. For the most up-to-date requirements and official details, check out StockX’s Seller Program and Levels page.
Breaking Down the Seller Levels
Let’s break down precisely what each level means for your business, including the requirements and the transaction fees you’ll pay.
Level 1: Getting Started
- Requirements: No minimum sales or revenue required; all new sellers start here.
- Transaction Fee: 9.0% per sale.
- Best For: Beginners, casual sellers, or anyone just starting out on StockX.
At Level 1, you’ll pay the highest transaction fee, but it’s a great place to learn the ropes. Focus on shipping items quickly, following StockX guidelines, and building a positive track record. Once you hit 12 sales or $1,500 in sales in a single quarter, you’ll move up to Level 2.
Level 2: Building Momentum
- Requirements: 12 completed sales or $1,500 in sales within a quarter.
- Transaction Fee: 8.5% per sale.
Level 2 is achievable for most active resellers. You’ll see a noticeable drop in fees, which can add up quickly if you’re moving multiple items each month. Keep your shipping prompt and your items authentic to avoid setbacks.
Level 3: Established Seller
- Requirements: 40 completed sales or $5,000 in sales within a quarter.
- Transaction Fee: 8.0% per sale.
Level 3 is where many part-time resellers land after a few months of consistent selling. At this level, you’re likely selling regularly and have a workflow in place. The lower fee helps you stay competitive, especially on high-demand items.
Level 4: Power Seller
- Requirements: 200 completed sales or $25,000 in sales within a quarter.
- Transaction Fee: 7.5% per sale.
Level 4 is for serious resellers who treat StockX as a primary business channel. The fee savings here are significant, especially if you’re selling premium sneakers, streetwear, or electronics. You’ll also benefit from StockX’s increased support and faster processing.
Level 5: Elite Seller
- Requirements: 800 completed sales or $100,000 in sales within a quarter.
- Transaction Fee: 7.0% per sale.
Level 5 is StockX’s top tier, reserved for high-volume, high-value sellers. At this level, your fees are as low as they get, and you may receive additional perks or early access to new features. This tier is achievable for enterprise-level resellers or those with a large inventory and efficient operations.
Tips for Leveling Up Faster
If you want to move up the StockX seller levels and unlock lower fees, adopting a few proven strategies can help you accelerate your progress and reach your goals faster.
- List consistently: The more items you have listed, the more likely you are to make sales and hit the next tier.
- Ship quickly: Fast, reliable shipping helps ensure your sales are completed and counted toward your level.
- Focus on high-demand items: Sneakers, streetwear, and electronics with strong market demand will help you reach your sales targets faster.
- Track your progress: Use your StockX dashboard to monitor your sales and see how close you are to leveling up.
What Happens if You Drop Below a Level?
Once you reach a new level, you keep your status for the current and following quarter, even if your sales slow down. After that, your level is recalculated based on your most recent quarter’s activity. This gives you some breathing room if you have a slow period, but it’s smart to stay active if you want to maintain your lower fees.
