Guide for UK sellers
Where to sell clothes online in the UK
The best place depends on what you’re selling and how much work you want to put in. Here’s what each site takes, what sells where, and how to get more for your clothes.
The short answer
- Most clothes: Vinted. The most UK buyers looking for second-hand fashion, and no seller fee.
- Branded menswear and outdoor gear: eBay, for its reach.
- Vintage and streetwear: Depop.
- Designer pieces: Vestiaire Collective.
- No time to list: a bag service like Thrift+, or cash for clothes by the kilo.
The sites compared
Fees for Vinted, eBay and Depop use the same rates as our calculators, checked October 2026. The others vary by item, so check their current terms.
| Site | Best for | What it takes | Effort |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vinted | Everyday clothes, high street brands, kids’ clothes | None for sellers. You keep £20.00 of a £20.00 sale | List it yourself, prepaid postage labels |
| eBay | Branded menswear, outdoor gear, anything collectable | None for private sellers on clothes. You keep £20.00 | List it yourself, auctions or fixed price |
| Depop | Vintage, streetwear, Y2K, statement pieces | Payment processing. You keep £18.89 | List it yourself; styling and photos matter |
| Facebook Marketplace | Coats, bundles, anything to sell locally | None when the buyer collects in person | List it yourself, meet the buyer |
| Vestiaire Collective | Designer and luxury pieces | A commission on each sale | List it yourself; items are checked before reaching the buyer |
| Thrift+ | A wardrobe clear-out with no listing | Keeps most of the price on cheap items, less on pricier ones | Fill a bag and send it |
| Cash for clothes | Worn clothes that wouldn’t sell on their own | Paid by weight, typically 40p to 60p a kilo | Drop off or book a collection |
Vinted
Sellers pay nothing: the buyer covers postage and Vinted’s Buyer Protection fee on top of your price. It’s where most people in the UK go to buy second-hand clothes, so everyday pieces from high street and mid-range brands sell steadily. Expect offers, and price with a little room. See what a buyer pays with our Buyer Protection calculator.
eBay
Private sellers in the UK don’t pay a final value fee on clothes, which makes eBay as cheap as Vinted. It reaches the widest range of buyers, including people who never use fashion apps, and suits branded menswear, outdoor gear and anything people search for by name.
Depop
A younger audience that shops by style. Vintage, streetwear and one-off pieces do well, and good photos matter more than anywhere else. There’s no selling fee for UK sellers, but every sale carries a payment processing fee. Compare the three in Vinted vs Depop vs eBay.
Facebook Marketplace
Best for things that are bulky to post, like winter coats, or bundles of kids’ clothes. Buyers usually collect and pay in cash, so there’s no fee and no postage, but you’ll need to arrange a time and place to meet.
Vestiaire Collective
Built for designer and luxury fashion, with checks on items before they reach the buyer. It takes a commission on each sale, so it makes most sense for pricier designer pieces.
Thrift+ and cash for clothes
If you’d rather not list anything, Thrift+ sends you a bag to fill and sells what it can for you, keeping most of the price on cheaper items. Cash for clothes shops and collection services pay by weight, typically 40p to 60p a kilo. Both are quick, but you’ll earn far less than selling the good pieces yourself.

How to sell more
- Photograph clothes in daylight, on a hanger or worn, with the label and any flaws in shot.
- Add measurements: pit to pit, length and inside leg answer most buyers’ questions before they ask.
- Price from what the same item has sold for, not what it’s listed at.
- Offer a bundle discount; buyers save on postage and you clear more at once.
- List coats in autumn and summer clothes in spring, just before people need them.
Fees and terms change. Check each site’s current seller fees before you rely on them. Selling your own unwanted clothes usually isn’t taxed; buying clothes to resell can be. See tax on reselling.
