Describe the GOAT sale

Defaults use the U.S. prepaid-shipping fee policy effective August 1, 2026 and reviewed August 14, 2026.

We calculate the sale price needed to reach this profit.
The official fee is $5 for U.S. or Canadian prepaid shipping and $0 for eligible drop-off. Other locations have different fixed fees.
U.S. defaults to 2.9%. Canadian GOAT sources are inconsistent, so Canadian presets use 0 until you enter the rate shown in your account. Promotions and some methods may differ.

Current GOAT fee assumptions

GOAT deducts commission and a location-based seller fee from the listing price, then may charge a percentage when earnings are cashed out.

  • The standard commission for a seller rating of 90 or above is 9.5% in the United States and 12.4% in Canada. Lower ratings use the official higher tiers shown in the selector.
  • The commission and fixed seller fee are deducted from the listing price. Buyer-paid shipping, taxes, and duties are not added to this calculator's commission base.
  • The default $5 seller fee matches U.S. and Canadian prepaid shipping. Eligible drop-off is $0, while other official location fees range higher and should be entered directly.
  • The U.S. default 2.9% cash-out fee is applied to earnings remaining after commission and the seller fee. GOAT's newer Fee Policy and older support article are inconsistent about Canada, so Canadian presets use 0 until the seller enters the account-shown rate.
  • Cash out normally requires more than $25 in total earnings. Inactive-account maintenance fees and cancellation-related rating changes are separate.
