17 Best Apps and Sites to Sell Your Clothes Online
"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through the links below."
Whether you’re looking to do some spring cleaning or make room in your closet, it’s never been easier to ethically dispose of old clothes. You might have even seen the Depop craze that’s taken over TikTok — which has helped make some people serious cash — and want to hop on ASAP. Either way, reselling your threads online is an option that's good for the environment and your wallet.
Here are 17 of the best apps and websites to sell your clothes online.
Depop
Depop is home to some of the coolest niche fashion items out there. The marketplace features tons of brands we all know and love but also includes independent brands run by sellers with their own flair. Anyone can sell on Depop, and there's even an option to have the app deal with shipping products out. Ready to sell? Create listings for your clothing on the app and post clear, visually appealing photos of your items. Pro tip: look for profiles with a similar style to what you're selling and interact with them to help build momentum for your listings.
ThredUP
The best part about ThredUP is the convenience. When you sell through ThredUP, they send out an empty bag, what they call a "clean out kit." All you have to do is fill the bag and leave it for the postal service to pick up — the rest is handled, including the shipping cost. Keep in mind that sellers are only able to earn a maximum of 80% of the resale price because ThredUP handles some of the harder work when it comes to shipping and handling.
Facebook Marketplace
While you may be scouring Facebook for different college groups and organizations to join, it can also make you some cash. Facebook's Marketplace feature allows anyone to create listings based on items and location. You can sell anything from clothes to gaming consoles and make 100% of the profits. Not too shabby.
Mercari
Like most of the apps on this list, sellers create listings for clothes, shoes and accessories for any price. There's a 10% fee if you plan to sell on Mercari, but the good news is the app is super user-friendly.
Etsy
Etsy is home to a ton of different independent shops that sell handmade and vintage items, and it could definitely be a market for clothes you're looking to resell. You may have better luck if they happen to be vintage, but it's worth giving a shot — especially if you upcycle some items. Etsy makes a small commission from any sale and requests a 3% processing fee from the seller.
Poshmark
Poshmark is one of the original reselling apps, and it's super easy to navigate. They send you a prepaid shipping label, which helps when it comes to tracking your package as it's being sent to the buyer. One of the unique things about Poshmark is its social media component where you can follow other fashionistas and sell items quickly during "Posh Parties."
Buffalo Exchange
Buffalo Exchange tends to look for designer clothing in good condition, so if you have some luxury pieces lying around, look no further. If you request it, their sell-by-mail program sends a prepaid shipping bag that can fit nearly 40 pieces of clothing. Once they receive your items, they'll reach out in regards to what they're able to purchase. There are three payment options — store credit, which offers 50% of the selling price and a check or PayPal payment, which offers 30%.
Crossroads Trading
Although Crossroads Trading has in-store locations where people typically bring secondhand designer goods, they now have a sell-by-mail program like Buffalo Exchange. Upon request, Crossroads will send a bag with a prepaid shipping label for you to mail any items in. You can earn 50% of the sales price as store credit or 30% of the sales price as cash back. Crossroads will send any rejected items back to you, or you can opt to have them donated to charity for a small fee.
ASOS Marketplace
Sometimes, you buy the cutest mini dress online and it turns out to be a miss when it finally arrives (believe me, we've all been there). The good news is you can resell it on ASOS Marketplace. They take a 10% commission on the sale price, but it's seller-driven and includes unique pieces you'd likely find at a thrift store.
eBay
eBay is the original selling site and it's still going strong because of how beneficial it is to sellers. Here's how it works: sellers are able to control everything from photos to pricing to interacting with customers. You can also create bids with a minimum sale price for buyers to bid on (like an online auction). The highest bidder wins and gets to keep the item while the seller receives the payment within a week.
The RealReal
What sets The RealReal apart from most of the sites on this list is that they specialize in luxury consignment. This means that they carry big name brands like Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Chanel, Moschino and Miu Miu. If you happen to have luxury items around that you're looking to sell quickly, give them three days on The RealReal, where you can make up to 85% of the resale price. The RealReal accepts clothing, shoes, accessories, fine jewelry, home decor and fine art. You can ship items with the USPS or (in select cities) schedule a free in-home pickup.
Style Alert
Like The RealReal, Style Alert by Material World is a designer consignment site. To sell with Style Alert, you have to request a free Trade-In Kit and send in any luxury items you're looking to sell. They'll get back to you with an itemized offer; if you accept the offer, you will instantly get paid. You can also request for any rejected items to be returned to you for a small fee or have them be donated to charity.
Rebag
Rebag is an online retailer that specializes in reselling designer handbags. Featured brands include Versace, Balenciaga and Tom Ford. So, if you happen to have any designer bags lying around, you can submit some photos of the bag on Rebag's site. Within two business days, they'll email you a quote. Once you accept their offer, they'll send out a prepaid shipping label. Your payment will hit within three business days of Rebag receiving your bag. If you live near Miami, Manhattan, Beverly Hills or LA, you can also pay Rebag a visit in-store.
Swap
From women's apparel and accessories to baby clothes, Swap.com has it all. To sell with Swap, you have to follow a pretty extensive process. Before you send anything over, you should probably check Swap's acceptance criteria — it's stricter than most consignment sites. Clothes must be cleaned and free of pet hair and odors. Altered or niche-branded clothes are also not allowed.
Once you go through the criteria, you have to submit an application and work with Swap's Premier Seller Team on selecting which items to sell. After that, you have to print prepaid shipping labels and send everything over to Swap. You can choose to have rejected items returned to you for $9, but if more than 40% of what you send has been rejected, they charge an extra fee. You can also opt to have rejected items be recycled.
Tradesy
Tradesy is another place where you can sell any clothing, shoes and accessories. They charge a flat commission fee of $7.50 for any item sold for under $50 and 19.8% for any item sold for over $50.
Vinted
What you see is what you get with Vinted. To sell with Vinted, all you have to do is download their user-friendly app and create a listing with photos and a description of your item. You even have the choice to set your price. When you tap "upload," your listing is live. Once someone snags your item, you have five days to send it their way. After the buyer confirms the quality meets their standards, you'll receive 100% of the profit since Vinted has no selling fees.
Refashioner
Refashioner is the spot for more unique, avant-garde pieces that you'd totally see straight out of a magazine. It's hard to let go of the good stuff, but at least you know it'll go to a good home with Refashioner. Refashioner also holds events in New York from time to time, so if you're in the area, check them out!
