Quick answer

14days

from delivery, eligible Verified Marketplace items only

US customers can return eligible Verified Marketplace purchases within 14 days of delivery, but the refund comes as StockX Credit, not money back 1. Only items labeled "14 Day Return" at purchase qualify, and they must be unused with any StockX tag still attached 1. If your order is damaged, wrong or not as described, the Buyer Promise covers it within 14 days with a refund to your original payment 2; otherwise No Fee Resale lets you resell within 90 days without fees 3.

StockX works differently from a normal store because it's a marketplace. US buyers have three separate options depending on what went wrong – a 14-day return for credit, the Buyer Promise for problem orders, and No Fee Resale. Here is how each works, using StockX's own Help Center pages 1.

Which StockX purchases can be returned

US customers can return eligible Verified Marketplace purchases within 14 days of delivery 1. Eligible items are labeled "14 Day Return" on the product page and in your Buying History at the time of purchase 1, and eligibility depends on the exact product and size you bought 1.

Listings Marketplace and Live Marketplace purchases are not covered by the 14-day return policy 1. If those orders arrive wrong or damaged, the Buyer Promise applies instead 1.

Conditions for a 14-day return

  • The item is unused and in the same condition as delivered 1.
  • If it came with a StockX tag or sticker, that must still be attached 1.
  • If you checked out as a guest, returns may not be available 1.

How to return an item

  1. Go to your profile and select Buying > History 1.
  2. Open the order to see its Order Details page 1.
  3. Click "Start Return" and follow the steps to create your label 1.
  4. Ship the item with that label within 7 days of starting the return 1.

Returns are reviewed and can be denied if flagged 1. If an item fails Returns Verification, you'll have to confirm your payment details and pay return shipping to get it sent back to you 1.

What you get back

An accepted return is refunded as StockX Credit, which is available to US customers only and issued in USD 1. You don't get the money back on your card for a change-of-mind return, so only use this option if you plan to buy on StockX again. EU and UK residents return items under their statutory right of withdrawal instead 1.

Buyer Promise: wrong, damaged or not as described

The Buyer Promise covers orders that arrive materially different from what was described, such as a damaged item, the wrong order, the wrong size or a different condition 2. You must submit the request within 14 days of delivery 2.

For Verified Marketplace orders (and Listings orders where you bought verification):

  • Open the package as soon as it arrives to check it 2.
  • If the request is eligible, StockX sends a prepaid label to return the item to its facility 2.
  • The item must be unworn, in the condition delivered and with any StockX tag still attached 2.
  • Allow at least 3–5 business days of processing once it reaches the facility 2.

Approved Buyer Promise returns are refunded to your original payment method 2.

Listings and Live Marketplace orders

For Listings and Live Marketplace orders bought without verification, start by messaging the seller and explaining the problem 2. The seller can open a return, reject it or offer a partial refund 2. If you think a rejection is wrong, escalate it to StockX Customer Service 2. A Buyer Promise claim for these orders must also be filed within 14 days of receiving the item 1.

No Fee Resale: when a return isn't an option

If your item isn't eligible for a 14-day return, No Fee Resale lets you resell a new or unworn Verified Marketplace purchase without transaction, processing or shipping fees, for items delivered within the past 90 days 3. A few rules apply 1:

  • The item must be tied to a registered StockX account 3.
  • For "Place Offer" orders, the offer must be matched within 90 days of delivery, and StockX isn't responsible for price swings 3.
  • Items sent to Flex storage or Store at StockX are not eligible 3.
  • The program only covers items delivered after July 10, 2024 3.

Keep in mind you're reselling at market price, so you may get back more or less than you paid.

Quick tips

  • Check for the "14 Day Return" label before you buy if returns matter to you 1.
  • Leave the StockX tag on until you're sure you're keeping the item 1.
  • Use a registered account rather than Guest Checkout 1.
  • Inspect your order the day it arrives so you're well within the 14-day Buyer Promise window 2.

Frequently asked questions

Does StockX give refunds?

For change-of-mind returns, no cash refund: an accepted 14-day return is paid out as StockX Credit 1. A refund to your original payment method comes only with an approved Buyer Promise return, which is for items that arrive materially different from their description 2.

Can I return StockX shoes that don't fit?

Yes, if the exact product and size carried the "14 Day Return" label when you bought it, you're in the US, and the pair is unused with any StockX tag still attached 1. If it doesn't qualify, you can resell it through No Fee Resale within 90 days of delivery 3.

Can I return a StockX order bought with Guest Checkout?

Maybe not. StockX says returns may not be available for Guest Checkout purchases 1, and No Fee Resale requires the item to be linked to a registered StockX account 3.

What if StockX sent me the wrong size?

That's a Buyer Promise case. Submit a request within 14 days of delivery; if it's approved, you get a prepaid shipping label and a refund to your original payment method 2.

What happens if my return fails inspection?

If a return doesn't pass Returns Verification, StockX asks you to confirm payment details and pay return shipping before sending the item back to you 1.
