How is pricing determined at MISHMASH?

MISHMASH determines listing prices based on:

- Brand, condition, demand, and original retail value.
- Market trends and seasonal relevance.

Our algorithm evaluates each dress based on factors like brand, fabric, style, condition, and collection year. We also account for customs and taxes in Egypt to estimate what the item would sell for locally, ensuring fair, competitive pricing that reflects its true value.

Recognizing that many retailers discount last season’s collections by up to 60%, we incorporate these variations into our pricing. To showcase the savings, we calculate the estimated retail price using the original brand price or similar items on the market, highlighting the discount buyers enjoy compared to purchasing new.

MISHMASH adds a 15% buyer service fee on top of the dress price. This fee is charged to the buyer and is not deducted from the seller’s earnings. For example, if a dress is priced at EGP 10,000, the buyer will pay EGP 11,500 (inclusive of the 15% buyer service fee), but the seller’s earnings will still be calculated based on the dress price of EGP 10,000. Our mission is to empower smart, stylish choices that elevate your wardrobe and maximize value. For more information please Contact Us

What is MISHMASH's selling commission structure?

Commission Tiers:

  • Below EGP 20,000: Seller receives 75% of the dress price, and MISHMASH takes 25%.
  • EGP 20,000 – 50,000: Seller receives 80% of the dress price, and MISHMASH takes 20%.
  • Above EGP 50,000: Seller receives 90% of the dress price, and MISHMASH takes 10%.
  • Items in our clearance collection (priced below EGP 1,500) have a fixed seller payout of 60%, as MISHMASH covers processing costs.

MISHMASH adds a 15% buyer service fee on top of the dress price. This fee is charged to the buyer and is not deducted from the seller’s earnings. For example, if a dress is priced at EGP 10,000, the buyer will pay EGP 11,500 (inclusive of the 15% buyer service fee), but the seller’s earnings will still be calculated based on the dress price of EGP 10,000.

Once listed, the seller cannot alter the price of their item. Any discounts or promotions applied by MISHMASH to encourage sales will affect the seller's earnings, as the seller's payout will be calculated based on the new discounted dress price, not the original dress price. For more information please Contact Us

How do I get my payout on MISHMASH?

At MISHMASH, getting paid for your sold items is simple and transparent. Here’s how it works:

Requesting Your Payout

To request your payout, log in to your Seller Dashboard and navigate to the Earnings & Payouts tab. The “Request My Payout” button will be greyed out during the 7-day return period. Once the return window closes, the button will turn black, and you’ll be able to click it to request your payout.

Payout Timeline

If an item is not returned within the 7-day return window, your earnings will become available starting from the 8th day after the sale. At that point, you can use the “Request My Payout” button in the Earnings & Payouts tab to initiate the transfer.

Current Payout Options

Shipping Fees Deduction

We handle the shipping costs for collecting your dresses upfront. Once your dress(es) are sold and you request your payout, the shipping fees incurred to collect the dresses will be deducted from your total earnings. This will be clearly reflected in your Seller Dashboard.

Our process ensures clarity and ease, so you know exactly when and how you’ll be paid for your sold items. For more information please Contact Us
