Which platform should you sell on?
Five quick questions — we'll match you to the UK resale platform that fits what you're selling.
A vintage record does better on Discogs than Vinted. A designer bag will get twice the price on Vestiaire than on Facebook Marketplace. And an Ikea sofa isn't going anywhere but Facebook. Answer five questions and we'll point you at the platform that actually fits what you're selling.
Frequently asked questions
Vinted or Depop for selling clothes?
Vinted for everyday high-street stuff (Zara, H&M, M&S) — biggest UK audience, no seller fees, buyers expect quick swipe-and-buy. Depop for anything with a style angle: Y2K, vintage denim, streetwear, indie brands. Depop buyers pay more for styled photos and a curated feed, but 13% in fees means it's rarely worth it for a £6 top.
Where should I sell a designer bag or coat?
Vestiaire Collective is built for it — they authenticate anything over about £100, which is the difference between a bag selling in a fortnight and it sitting for six months. eBay works too if you have receipts and don't mind fielding 'is this real?' messages. Avoid Depop for anything over ~£300, the audience isn't really there.
Is Etsy worth it if I'm not making handmade stuff?
Only if you're selling genuine vintage (20+ years old under Etsy's rules) or craft supplies. Buyers there are actively hunting, so a curated 1970s glassware listing does better than on eBay. Don't bother with modern second-hand — it'll get lost.
What about records and CDs?
Discogs, every time. The price guide alone is worth the fees — you'll price accurately and buyers know exactly what they're getting. eBay picks up rare or mixed lots but you'll get less on average.
Do I need to pick just one platform?
No, and most sellers who do well don't. Vinted for clothes, eBay for tech and collectibles, Facebook Marketplace for anything bulky — cross-listing what makes sense on each platform beats committing to one.
