They launched in 2013 and were acquired by GOAT Group in 2022. Issues like payments, moderation, and disputes are handled by the platform. Whether you want to spend time selling on Grailed is a judgement of fit. Designer and streetwear pieces sell well there, and mall brands and fast fashion, which also sell well on Poshmark, Mercari, and Depop, usually sell quicker there. ## How selling on Grailed actually works The Grailed customer is someone looking for a very specific designer, streetwear, or archival piece. Because of this, a lot of pieces do very well there. The core of Grailed is menswear, and womenswear is now separate. Basically anything on Grailed can also be found on there for much cheaper or faster. Helmut Lang, Supreme, Comme des Garcons, band tees, and others do very well. Mall brands and fast fashion generally don't sell well and usually draw low offers. The flow is fairly short if you are already selling on other sites: 1. Select category, designer and size. Use exact spelling of brand for search and tagging, as Grailed leans more on designer tagging. 2. Use photos taken for other selling sites like Poshmark or eBay. Lead with the tag, followed by the front of the piece, then any flaws. 3. Copy your existing title and shorten to brand, item and key detail (i.e. Model Name, Season, etc..). 4. Use your flat lay measurements (i.e. pit to pit, length, shoulder to shoulder, and sleeve). Size varies across the designer labels, so focus more on these measurements as opposed to the tagged size. 5. Set a price with some wiggle room. Prepare to haggle, as most sales are done through offers, and buyers expect to negotiate. Moderation happens in the background. Grailed reviews listings and can hold or remove items that appear to be counterfeit, in banned categories, or are without proof. High value designer items and brands that are heavily faked are usually the listings that come under further review, so having tag shots, care labels, serial numbers and receipts can help verify the authenticity of the item being listed. Grailed takes a commission and a processing fee on each sale and these fees are deducted from the seller’s proceeds. Fees are subject to change, and before listing, be sure to check Grailed’s current fee schedule. When listing an item for sale, consider how long the item will take to sell. A $200 jacket listed for sale on Grailed that is projected to take a month to sell might sell in a week on Mercari, even if it means paying a higher fee to sell it. ## Disputes, red flags and double-selling risks The main reasons a seller loses an item sold on a marketplace are because the item was “not as described” or because the item was “not received” by the buyer. When it comes to Grailed, most of the time, if the seller has verified the item as described by collecting and including sufficient evidence, they shouldn’t have a problem, but they should collect this evidence for every sale, not just high value sales. Here are some best practices: - Ship only by using the label provided by Grailed or shipping to the exact address provided by Grailed. - Use signature confirmation for high value items. - Capture images of all flaws shown in the listing and include the description in the listing description. - Include measurements in descriptions. This discourages people from saying your item doesn't fit when it actually does (not as described claims). - Show the tag on the item in a quick pic or video when placing it in the box. Look up the buyer and check their account to see if they have a history buying on Grailed. A user offering a high price for a grail item, with a recently created account may warrant caution. It's better to be safe than sorry. Grailed has measures in place to offer seller protection against scams, but once you leave the app, the seller protection disappears. Grailed messages are recorded, text messages are not. The biggest multi-marketplace risk is selling the same item twice. Grailed isn't one of the channels that PrimeLister connects to, so a sale there won't automatically delist your other copies. If an item is also on Poshmark, eBay, Mercari or Depop, delist it in PrimeLister so it gets removed on those channels at the same time. Keep Grailed for items that truly fit it. If you list everything there, the rule becomes cumbersome. It also depends on payout timing. Funds are normally released after you deliver an item, so if you use slow shipping, payout timing is slow as well. ## Sell the same items to more buyers with PrimeLister Grailed only covers a small part of the buying population. It items that don't fit Grailed, and other designer items, still have a market elsewhere. PrimeLister gives you access to those markets from one centralized location, and keeps sales synchronzied, to ensure nothing gets sold twice. - Cross-list items to Poshmark, eBay, Mercari, Depop, Etsy and Facebook Marketplace. - Enjoy inventory and auto-delisting once a item sells on a connected channel. - Bulk actions to delist or edit many listings at the same time. - Get analytics on how long items stay on the market, and sell through rate. This tells you which items should really be on Grailed. - Also get a Poshmark bot and a Depop bot, each with a 7-day free trial and no credit card required. ## Frequently asked questions about selling on Grailed How long do Grailed payouts take? Once your order is delivered, Grailed will release their payment, and it will be sent to your chosen payment method. From there, timing is dependent on your bank and Grailed's payment processor. To get your payment as quickly as possible, check Grailed's help section and expedite your shipment. Does Grailed take returns? Items listed on Grailed are sold as-is, and items are considered sold once payment is released. However, there is a dispute process that buyers can utilize to get their money back if the item is not as described or if it doesn't arrive. To avoid items being described in a misleading manner, and to provide evidence for your defense in a dispute, providing measurements and pictures of flaws is a good practice. What does Grailed remove or reject? Generally, items in restricted categories, counterfeits, and replicas are removed. Off-brand items are not against Grailed's policies, but they rarely sell, and generally, it is better to sell those on marketplaces that are more broad. Is Grailed worth the extra effort if I’m already on 4 listing platforms? It is if you buy and sell designer or archive pieces that aren’t on your other listings. It isn’t if your inventory is largely mall brands. The extra time it takes to delist items manually wouldn’t be worth it.
