Cash for Clothing
With so many options out there, it may be hard to know the best place to sell, so we have put together a list of the very best ones. Here are our top 15 ways to get Cash for your Clothes...
The Best Places to Sell your old Clothes...
1 - Preloved
If you’re looking to sell locally, Preloved lets users search for items based on location and is great if you want to arrange collection rather than send items through the post. Just place an advert and keep an eye on messages from interested buyers.
Fees for sellers: None
2 - eBay
Easy to use with customers all over the globe, eBay is a popular choice for those wanting to sell clothes online. This website offers three selling options: auction, Buy It Now, and Make an Offer.
Fees for sellers: 10% of each sale
3 - Depop
Although you can sell almost any item of clothing on here, this app is a great place to sell vintage items, quirky clothing, or high-street pieces that are no longer sold in-store. The app is hugely popular with users in their early 20s.
Fees for sellers: 10% of each sale plus Paypal fees
4 - Vinted
With 37 million members and thousands of brands, Vinted has something for everyone. As well as selling and buying clothes, this site also has an option to swap clothes with members. The app is similar to Depop but with an older target audience.
Fees for sellers: None
5 - Quick Cash for Clothes
Save yourself time and money by ordering this door-to-door clothes collection service. If your items are in reusable condition, Quick Cash for Clothes will collect them from you and pay cash on the spot.
Fees for sellers: None
6 - Facebook Marketplace
If you already have a Facebook account, you’re ready to go with Facebook Marketplace. Transactions are agreed online but money exchange takes place in person, so asking for cash is best with this one. If you have high-quality, vintage items this isn’t the place for you, but give it a try if you’re trying to get rid of a large bulk of clothing.
Tip: You can also check out local selling groups on the platform to sell clothing on.
Fees for sellers: None
7 - Vestiaire Collective
This one’s best for selling pre-owned designer items. Vestiaire authenticates items, so people are more likely to trust sellers here than on competitor sites. To sell, your clothing must be from one of 5,000 designer labels on its list and your listed price must be at least £20.
Fees for sellers: £13 for items up to and equalling £130. Vestiaire charges 25% of the sale price for items costing £131 upwards.
8 - Shpock
Like an online boot sale, Shpock is a cheaper alternative to selling with eBay. Although unlike eBay, Shpock is all done locally, so make sure you can drop off or have your buyer collect the items.
Fees for sellers: None
9 - Hardly Ever Worn It (HEWI)
Another one for designer labels, this site is perfect for you if you tend to buy expensive items and not get much wear out of them. As with Vestiaire Collective, HEWI screen all items for authenticity.
Fees for sellers: 18% of each sale
10 - Car Boot Sales
Although not an option right now, car boot sales are a great way to clear out your wardrobe quickly. Bear in mind you probably won’t get the same amount you would from using some of the websites listed above.
Fees for sellers: From £7-£15 per table
11 - Instagram
The popular social media app has many uses, and one of them is selling clothes for cash. You will need to handle the sale privately due to Instagram's lack of a payment engine, so it’s worth noting the platform won’t be able to help if anything goes wrong.
Fees for sellers: None
12 - Gumtree
You can sell anything on Gumtree, and that includes clothes. If you’re short on time and want to get rid of bundles of clothes locally and with little hassle, give this website a try.
Fees for sellers: None
13 - ASOS Marketplace
ASOS Marketplace is for people who sell clothes as a business, regularly rather than people looking to flog clothing now and then for extra cash.
Fees for Sellers: £20 a month, plus 20% commission
14 - Etsy
Etsy is the best place to sell vintage, hand made and upcycled clothing.
Fees for Sellers: $0.20 listing fee, 5% transaction fee, 4% + £0.20 payment processing fee
15 - Rebelle
Rebelle is the perfect place to sell any old designer clothing you may no longer want.
Fees for Sellers: 17% – 33%, or €20, commission depending on the price of your item
