Clothes and accessories
Poshmark, Mercari, Depop, and Vinted are built around fashion and casual shipped sales. eBay also takes clothing, with fees that vary by category.[7][8][9][11][1]
Marketplace roundup
Where to sell used items online
The right place depends on what you are selling and whether you want to ship it. Clothes tend to suit fashion apps, bulky furniture suits local pickup or a furniture specialist, and almost anything else can go on a general marketplace. This page compares 11 places, shows the fees each one states on its own help or terms page, and ends with a way to choose where to list first. It covers where items sell, not the tools that help you list them; for those, see the reselling apps roundup.

What are you selling?
Furniture and large items
Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, and OfferUp are local pickup places, so you skip the shipping problem.[2][3][5] Chairish is a specialist for vintage and used furniture and decor.[12]
Electronics
eBay, Amazon, Mercari, and Facebook Marketplace all take electronics. Decluttr was a buy-back option for electronics, but its website now shows a closure notice.[13]
Collectibles and vintage
eBay has category-specific fee rates for areas such as trading cards and comics.[1] Etsy is another option for vintage goods, and Chairish suits vintage home items.[10][12]
Anything, or a mixed lot
eBay and Amazon accept a wide range of categories and ship nationwide.[1][6] For items you would rather hand over in person, list the same thing locally instead.
Side by side
Where to sell used items online: 11 places compared
Fees are what each marketplace states on its own page. Where a page did not state something, the table says so. Numbers in brackets link to the source list at the bottom of this page.
| Place | Fee model, as stated by the marketplace | Shipped or local | Suits |
|---|---|---|---|
| eBay | In most categories, a final value fee of 13.6% of the total sale up to $7,500, plus a per order fee of $0.30 (orders $10 or less) or $0.40 (over $10). Each month includes up to 250 listings with no insertion fee, then $0.35 per listing in most categories[1] | Shipped | Most categories, auction or fixed price |
| Facebook Marketplace | 10% with a $0.80 minimum on US checkout (shipped) sales, calculated on the sale including shipping and applicable taxes. Fees on local pickup sales are not described on the page we reviewed[2] | Local pickup, with shipped checkout | Furniture, household items, quick local sales |
| Craigslist | Most postings are free. Some categories charge a posting fee, for example $5 for cars, trucks, RVs, and motorcycles listed by owner in the US[3] | Local | Bulky items, vehicles, local classifieds |
| OfferUp | No fee or commission on in-person transactions; paid extras such as promotions and additional listings are optional[4] | Local pickup; shipping has ended[5] | Everyday items you can hand over in person |
| Amazon | Individual plan: $0.99 per item sold. Professional plan: $39.99 a month. Both pay a referral fee set by category[6] | Shipped | Products in categories Amazon allows |
| Poshmark | A flat $2.95 on sales under $15 and 20% on sales of $15 or more[7] | Shipped | Clothing and fashion accessories |
| Mercari | 10% of the item price plus buyer-paid shipping on listings created or updated on or after January 6, 2025; listing is free[8] | Shipped | Casual selling across many categories |
| Depop | No Depop selling fee for sellers based in the US, UK, or Australia; US payment processing is 3.3% plus $0.45[9] | Shipped | Fashion and vintage clothing |
| Etsy | $0.20 per listing and a 6.5% transaction fee on the price plus shipping and gift wrap, plus payment processing fees that vary by bank location[10] | Shipped | Vintage and handmade goods |
| Vinted | Its fee page describes a buyer fee, usually 5% plus $0.70; what sellers pay is not described on that page, so check Vinted's pricing[11] | Shipped | Secondhand clothing |
| Chairish | Commission by seller plan: 40% on the default Consignor plan, 30% from 10 live listings, lower on paid plans; buyer-paid shipping and taxes are excluded[12] | Shipped or delivered, per its shipping options | Vintage and used furniture and decor |
The places
A short, honest note on each
Shipped to buyers nationwide
eBay
eBay supports auction-style and fixed price listings in most categories, and it states that you do not deal with a separate payment processor fee.[1] The cost is higher than some alternatives for low-priced items, since the per order fee applies to every order and some categories carry higher rates, such as books and magazines at 15.3% and women's bags and handbags at 15% up to $2,000.[1] Sellers with Below Standard performance can pay an additional 6% final value fee.[1] It may be the better choice if you want to reach buyers searching for a specific item and are willing to ship. Run a sale through the eBay fee calculator before you list.
Amazon
Amazon charges either $0.99 per item sold or $39.99 a month, plus a category referral fee.[6] Which categories and conditions you can list in varies, so read Amazon's category requirements before you plan around it. It may be the better choice if your item is a standard product in a category Amazon allows.
Poshmark
Poshmark states a flat $2.95 under $15 and 20% above, with Texas sellers seeing an extra tax on the fee from October 1, 2025.[7] It may be the better choice if you are clearing a closet of branded clothing and want a fashion-focused audience. Poshmark fees in detail.
Mercari
Mercari lists for free and states a 10% selling fee on newer listings, with older listings charged under earlier rules until they are updated.[8] It may be the better choice if you want a simple app for mixed household items. Mercari fees in detail.
Depop
Depop says US sellers pay no Depop selling fee but do pay payment processing, and optional listing boosts cost extra.[9] It may be the better choice if you sell trend-led or vintage clothing who browse by style. Depop fees in detail.
Etsy
Etsy charges $0.20 per listing whether or not the item sells, and listings expire after four months.[10] Etsy has its own rules about what may be sold, so read them before you list. It may be the better choice if your item is vintage or handmade.
Vinted
Vinted's fee page explains a buyer fee that is added at checkout.[11] The page does not say clearly which countries it covers, so confirm that Vinted serves your country before you plan around it.
Chairish
Chairish takes a commission that falls as you move up its seller plans, and you start on the highest rate until you reach 10 live listings.[12] It may be the better choice if you have a few quality furniture or decor pieces and want an audience that is looking for that.
Local pickup
Facebook Marketplace
You can sell locally or through shipped checkout, where Meta states a 10% fee with a $0.80 minimum in the US.[2] It may be the better choice for a sofa, a table, or anything that is awkward to box.
Craigslist
Most postings are free and the sale is directly between you and the buyer.[3] It may be the better choice for large items and vehicles, where local buyers expect to look before they pay.
OfferUp
OfferUp now supports local, in-person transactions and states no fee or commission on those.[4][5] It may be the better choice if you want a phone app for quick local sales.
Local sales carry their own risks. Meet in a public place, check the item before you hand it over, and be wary of buyers who ask to move the conversation or the payment off the platform.
Choosing
What to compare before you list
- Item fit. A marketplace built for clothing will present a jacket better than a general site, and a furniture specialist will present a dresser better than a clothing app.
- Shipping or pickup. A heavy item can lose its value in shipping. If you cannot box it, start with a local place.
- What the fee applies to. Some fees apply to the item price, some include shipping, and some include sales tax. Each place does this differently, so read the base each page states. Tools such as the eBay fee calculator do the sums for eBay.
- Payment and protection. Check when you are paid and how disputes are handled on each page before you rely on a sale.
- Effort per listing. Photos, descriptions, and shipping labels take time on every site. A low fee does not help if you give up on the listing.
- Price research. See what similar items actually sold for before you set a price. Our guide to eBay sold listings shows how to check on eBay.
Alternatives
Sites like eBay
If you want a shipped marketplace that works like eBay, the closest matches on this page are Amazon, Mercari, and Etsy, each with its own category limits.[6][8][10] If you want an alternative for clothing, look at Poshmark, Depop, and Vinted. If you want to avoid shipping, use Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, or OfferUp. None of them is a copy of eBay's auction format, so compare the fee models above rather than assuming they match.
Selling twice
Selling the same item in two places
It works, with one rule: when it sells in one place, take it down everywhere else straight away. If you have one item and it sells twice, you will have to cancel one of the orders. A common pattern is to list a bulky item locally and on a shipped marketplace at the same time, then remove the loser. If you list across several shipped marketplaces regularly, a crosslister automates the removal; the reselling apps roundup covers them.
Which one first
A sensible order to try
- Too big to ship? List locally first: Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist, or OfferUp for smaller items.
- Clothing? Try one fashion app, Poshmark, Depop, or Vinted, based on your style and your country.
- Vintage furniture or decor worth real money? Consider Chairish.
- Everything else, or anything with a specific buyer? Try eBay, where the fees are known in advance and buyers search for exact items.
No site is certain to sell a given item, and prices vary. Test one listing on your first choice, see what happens, and move on if it does not sell.
In Strooply
What Strooply does, and does not do
Strooply is an app for eBay sellers. It does not list on, sync with, or track sales on any of the other marketplaces on this page.[S2] On eBay, you take photos of an item, Strooply identifies it, shows live eBay listing comps, and drafts a listing that is published once you confirm it. It also tracks your profit on eBay sales.[S2] There is a free plan with no credit card, then $12.99/mo (Starter), $29.99/mo (Pro), and $79.99/mo (Team).[S1] If you decide eBay is part of your plan, see how Strooply works, and pick up packing materials in the shipping supplies guide.
Questions
Where to sell used items: FAQ
Where should I sell used items online first?
It depends on the item. Clothing suits fashion apps, large furniture suits local pickup, and most other things can go on a general marketplace such as eBay or Mercari.[1][8] The chooser near the top of this page matches item types to places.
Where can I sell stuff online for free?
Listing is free on several sites, but the fee on a sale differs. Craigslist postings are mostly free, and OfferUp states no fee on in-person sales.[3][4] Shipped marketplaces usually take a fee when the item sells.
Where do I sell used items if I want to avoid fees?
Local pickup is the clearest route: OfferUp states no fee on in-person transactions, and most Craigslist postings are free.[4][3] Depop states no Depop selling fee for sellers in the US, though payment processing still applies.[9]
What are sites like eBay?
For shipped sales, Amazon, Mercari, and Etsy are the nearest general marketplaces, each with its own rules.[6][8][10] For fashion, look at Poshmark, Depop, and Vinted.
Is Facebook Marketplace better than Craigslist for local sales?
Neither is better for every sale. Both are local, and Craigslist postings are mostly free, while Facebook Marketplace states a 10% fee on shipped checkout sales.[3][2] Try the one where more people in your area look for your kind of item.
Which online selling platform has the lowest fees?
It depends on the sale price and category. A flat fee such as Poshmark's $2.95 on sales under $15 can differ a lot from a percentage fee on a higher-priced item.[7] Work out your own sale on the eBay fee calculator and on each other site's fee page.
Can I sell the same item on more than one site?
Yes, but remove it from every other site when it sells. A crosslister can automate this; see the reselling apps roundup.
