Best Platforms to Start Reselling Sneakers

Find out which selling platform is right for you Juiced Aug 17·3 min read

When it comes to reselling sneakers, typically most people want information about how they can get their hands on hard-to-find and profitable shoes they can resell. While this is the most important aspect of reselling sneakers, it’s not the only aspect.

Once you have that pair of high-end sneakers in your hand, finding the best place to liquidate your product is the next step. There is a variety of selling platforms that makeup today’s aftermarket and you can take advantage of each one to get the profits you feel you deserve.

Just remember, each platform comes with both its positive and negative features. Usually, most sellers find a platform they like and stick to it. Here are the major platforms sellers use when reselling sneakers.

StockX

StockX is the main platform most sellers use and talk about. The services it offers are:

Sneaker authentication

Sneaker aftermarket graphs

Bulk sales

Lower seller fees

For these reasons, many sellers use StockX to liquidate their sneakers. It’s quick, easy, and the fees aren’t too bad compared to some other platforms on this list.

GOAT/Alias

The major rival to StockX for the past few years has been GOAT, which recently changed its selling name to Alias. While Alias does not offer pretty graphs, it does see more positive reviews from resellers when it comes to customer service.

One downside to Alias is that the seller fees are a bit higher on this platform than StockX. However, the aftermarket prices of sneakers are listed higher on Alias to compensate for higher fees.

Just like StockX, Alias offers sneaker authentication. It also offers the ability to store your sneakers in their storage — for free at the time of writing this — and it offers sellers the ability to sell used sneakers.

eBay

The new guy on the reselling scene is eBay. This platform just recently started authenticating new sneakers and it’s really picked up a lot of traffic.

The main reason why so many sellers are starting to prefer to use eBay over both StockX and Alias is that there are no seller fees to sell sneakers on the platform at the time of writing this.

That means if you sell a pair of sneakers for $400, you get to keep all $400.

For this reason alone, eBay has quickly proven itself as a major rival to both Alias and StockX. It partnered with SneakerCon on its authentication services and many sellers have been taking advantage of its no fee policy.

Instagram

For many local resellers and trusted resellers, Instagram has proven as a great platform to sell sneakers. The great thing about moving your reselling business to Instagram is that you make your own rules.

You get to sell any sneaker you want, used or new, you don’t have to worry about fees, and you don’t have to worry about playing by a platform’s rules.

The only downside to selling on Instagram is that you need to build a following before you can start making any sales.
