Where to sell
Where to sell, and what you'll keep
Selling is a trade, not a winner. Top dollar costs you patience, instant cash costs you margin, keeping it all costs you the safety net. Here's what each place takes, how fast it pays, and how much of the work is yours.
Every number below links to the venue's own published policy, with the date we checked it.
What would you actually keep?
Two ways to start: search your bag and we'll pull a typical resale value, or type a number if you already know it. Either one fills the fee math below.
Search your bag
Based on the Chanel Classic Flap: a typical resale of $6,174. Our estimate from 1,535 recent sales and fixed-price listings, where the listing price is the sale price. Tweak the number above if yours differs by size or condition.

They sell it for you
You send the bag; they authenticate, photograph, list, and ship it.
Take an instant buyout quote today, or consign and keep 70% up to $3,000 plus 85% of anything above. Either way you just ship the bag; they do the rest.
The most hands-off of all: they do everything. Your cut scales with price, from 60% around $300 to 80% over $7,500, and you're paid the month after it sells.
Buyout gives you an instant online quote and cash on receipt. Consign instead and keep 68% to 90% depending on the bag, and leave funds in the Wallet to earn up to 9% more.
Full white-glove: they authenticate, shoot, and list it for you. You keep 65% up to $3,000 and 80% above, minus a flat $30 per item, and you ship the bag to Dubai to start.
You list it yourself
You photograph, price, and ship it; the platform takes a cut when it sells.
The biggest audience by far. You keep about 85% after the handbag fee, rising toward 91% on the part of a sale above $2,000. Bags at $500 and up are authenticated before the buyer gets them.
You list and price it and keep about 85% after the 12% and 3% fees. Thousands of brands now sell at 0% commission, so check yours; the trade is you do the photos, listing, and shipping.
Simple and social: list, ship with the prepaid label, keep 80% flat. Sales of $500 and up get authenticated before they reach the buyer, at no cost to you.
The simplest DIY option and the lowest fee here at a flat 10%, so you keep 90%. No physical authentication at any price, so your photos and description carry the sale.
You sell it direct
You deal with the buyer yourself. No fee, and no safety net either.
