How we researched this

We compared official pricing and feature pages, app store listings, privacy policies and public user reviews. Prices change, so check the provider's site before you pay.

Key takeaways

  • Vinted and Depop offer the lowest seller costs for US sellers in 2026, with Vinted charging no seller fee on standard sales and Depop charging only payment processing.
  • Poshmark remains strong for fashion resellers despite a 20 percent fee on sales over $15, because its social sharing and prepaid label simplify selling.
  • eBay suits almost any item and professional sellers, but its final value fee of about 13.6 percent plus a per-order fee adds up on low-value sales.
  • Match the app to your item and buyer, not just to the fee: vintage fashion sells differently on Depop than electronics sell on eBay.

The best reselling app

Reselling apps differ in more than fees. Some charge the seller, some charge the buyer, some ship with a prepaid label, and some leave shipping to you. Audience matters too: the same jacket can sit unsold on one app and sell in a day on another. We compared official fee pages, help pages, and public reviews to build this list, and we did not claim hands-on selling results we did not run. Fees change often, so confirm the current fee in the app before you list.

01Poshmark logo

Poshmark

Best for: Brand-name fashion resellers

Check out Poshmark
Starting priceFree
Free planYes
Poshmark website
poshmark.com homepage

Poshmark is still the default app for many fashion resellers, and its social model explains why. Sellers share listings, follow other closets, join parties, and build a following, so a listing can gain views without paid promotion. Shipping is simple: the buyer pays a flat shipping rate and you print a prepaid label, which removes the guesswork of weighing parcels and choosing a carrier.

The fee is the main drawback. Poshmark charges $2.95 on sales under $15 and 20 percent on sales of $15 or more, which makes low-value items poor value and high-value items costly. A $100 sale leaves you $80 before any other costs. If you sell brand-name clothing, shoes, and accessories in the US and Canada and you like the social side of selling, Poshmark is worth that fee. If you sell mostly low-value everyday clothes, Vinted or Mercari will keep more of each sale.

What we like
  • Large fashion-focused audience
  • Prepaid shipping label included
  • Social sharing helps listings get seen
Watch out for
  • 20 percent fee on sales over $15, or $2.95 under $15
  • Fee is high for low-value items
02Mercari logo

Mercari

Best for: Fast general resale

Check out Mercari
Starting priceFree
Free planYes
Mercari website
mercari.com homepage

Mercari is the easiest general reselling app for a closet or household clear-out. Listing takes a few photos, a title, and a price, and the app covers clothing, electronics, toys, home goods, and more. Prepaid shipping labels are available, and you can choose whether you or the buyer pays for shipping, which helps when you price an item.

Mercari charges a 10 percent seller fee in recent listings, plus payment processing details that vary by listing type, so a $50 sale leaves about $45 before shipping costs you agreed to cover. That is cheaper than Poshmark for most items and simpler than eBay for casual sellers. If you want one app for mixed items and fast listings, Mercari is our pick for most casual resellers.

What we like
  • Simple listing flow for almost any item
  • Broad deal-seeking audience
  • Prepaid label options
Watch out for
  • 10 percent seller fee
  • Buyers also face service fees that can affect demand
03Depop logo

Depop

Best for: Vintage and streetwear sellers

Depop app screenshots
App Store screenshots

Depop changed the fee maths for fashion resellers when it removed its 10 percent selling fee for sellers in the US, UK, and Australia. US sellers now pay only payment processing of 3.3 percent plus $0.45 per sale in recent listings, while buyers pay a marketplace fee at checkout. On a $50 sale, that processing cost is about $2.10, leaving far more than Poshmark or eBay.

The audience is younger and trend-driven, with vintage, Y2K, streetwear, and indie fashion doing best. Listings that look good in a feed, with clear photos and honest condition notes, tend to perform better than plain catalogue shots. Shipping is more hands-on than Poshmark, because you often arrange it yourself, so factor in packaging time. For vintage and streetwear sellers, Depop is now the best fee deal in fashion resale.

What we like
  • No selling fee for US, UK, and Australia sellers
  • Trend-driven young audience
  • Strong for vintage and streetwear
Watch out for
  • Sellers still pay 3.3 percent plus $0.45 payment processing
  • Shipping is largely seller-arranged
04Vinted logo

Vinted

Best for: Zero-fee everyday clothing sales

Check out Vinted
Starting priceFree
Free planYes

Vinted is the cheapest way to sell everyday clothing, because sellers pay no fee on standard sales. Buyers pay a protection fee at checkout, which covers buyer protection and shipping in many cases, so a $50 listed price can mean $50 in your account. That model is ideal for clearing out clothes that would not be worth listing on a 20 percent fee app.

The trade-off is audience and scope. Vinted is strongest for everyday clothing, shoes, and accessories at budget prices, and less suited to luxury, electronics, or collectibles. Some buyers dislike the added protection fee, which can affect conversion on higher-priced items. For a closet clear-out, or for reselling thrifted everyday fashion at volume, Vinted is the best place to start.

What we like
  • No seller fee on standard sales
  • Buyer pays a protection fee
  • Prepaid label and buyer-paid shipping options
Watch out for
  • Buyer protection fee can put off some buyers
  • Less suited to high-end or non-clothing items
05eBay logo

eBay

Best for: Almost anything, at scale

Check out eBay
Starting priceFree
Free planYes

eBay remains the most versatile reselling app, because it covers almost anything: electronics, collectibles, parts, clothing, home goods, and hard-to-find items that have no obvious audience elsewhere. You can list at a fixed price or run an auction, and seller tools for bulk listing, offers, and promoted listings help once volume grows. New sellers get a monthly allowance of free listings in recent listings, often cited as 250 per month.

Fees are the catch. Most categories charge a final value fee of about 13.6 percent plus $0.40 per order, with category variations, so a $50 sale leaves about $42.80 before shipping costs. That is higher than Mercari or Depop, but eBay reach can justify it for rare or high-demand items. If you sell across categories, sell at volume, or sell items that need a search-driven buyer rather than a social feed, eBay is still essential.

What we like
  • Largest buyer pool for general resale
  • Auctions and fixed-price listings
  • Strong seller tools for volume
Watch out for
  • Final value fee around 13.6 percent plus $0.40 per order in most categories
  • More complex rules for new sellers
06Facebook Marketplace logo

Facebook Marketplace

Best for: Local and bulky items

Check out Facebook Marketplace
Starting priceFree
Free planYes

Facebook Marketplace is the best app for anything too big or heavy to ship profitably. Furniture, appliances, bikes, and bulky home goods sell locally with no listing fee and no seller fee for pickup sales, and payment is usually in person. The audience is huge because buyers already use Facebook, and local groups add extra reach for neighbourhood sales.

Shipped orders are a different story, with a selling fee of about 10 percent or a minimum charge in recent listings, so check the current fee before offering shipping. Marketplace also offers less structure than Poshmark or eBay: no standard prepaid label for local sales, and dispute handling is more limited. For local sales, meet in a safe public place, bring a friend if possible, and confirm payment before handing over the item. For bulky goods, no other app on this list matches it.

What we like
  • No fee for local pickup sales
  • Huge local audience
  • Ideal for furniture and bulky goods
Watch out for
  • Shipped orders carry a selling fee
  • Less protection and structure than dedicated resale apps
07OfferUp logo

OfferUp

Best for: Fast local sales

Check out OfferUp
Starting priceFree
Free planYes

OfferUp is built for quick local deals. You list an item, buyers message you in the app, and you arrange pickup, often the same day. That speed suits furniture, electronics, and household items that you want gone without packing and posting. Local sales within listing limits are free, which keeps the full price in your pocket.

Nationwide shipping is available, but shipped sales carry a fee of about 12.9 percent with a $1.99 minimum in recent listings, so shipping is not where OfferUp wins. The app is also US-focused, and its shipped audience is smaller than eBay. Use OfferUp when speed and local pickup matter most, and switch to Mercari or eBay when an item needs a national buyer pool to reach a fair price.

What we like
  • Free local listings within limits
  • Simple chat-based buying
  • Local pickup avoids shipping costs
Watch out for
  • Shipped sales carry a fee around 12.9 percent
  • Smaller shipped audience than eBay
08Whatnot logo

Whatnot

Best for: Live selling for collectors

Check out Whatnot
Starting priceFree
Free planYes

Whatnot turns selling into a live show. Sellers run live auctions for trading cards, sneakers, collectibles, and fashion, and buyers bid in real time, which can move items faster than a static listing. The app also supports standard marketplace listings for sellers who do not want to go live every time. For collectors and resellers with repeatable inventory, such as card breaks or sneaker drops, that live format is a real advantage.

Fees are tiered by category and seller sales history, with recent listings showing commissions around 8 percent plus payment processing of 2.9 percent plus $0.30, and a tiered structure effective in late 2026, so check your category rate before you go live. Live selling also takes preparation: lighting, a stable connection, and a clear shipping plan matter. If you enjoy presenting and you sell collectibles, Whatnot can outperform static apps. If you prefer quiet listings, stick with Mercari or eBay.

What we like
  • Live auctions create urgency for collectibles
  • Strong audience for cards, sneakers, and fashion
  • Marketplace listings also available
Watch out for
  • Commission plus payment processing
  • Live selling needs preparation and a reliable setup
09Grailed logo

Grailed

Best for: Designer and streetwear for men

Check out Grailed
Starting priceFree
Free planYes

Grailed is the specialist app for mens designer, streetwear, and vintage fashion. Buyers come looking for specific brands and grails, which means a well-priced designer piece can find its buyer faster than on a general app. Listings support offers, and the community understands sizing, condition grading, and brand details that general buyers may miss.

Fees in recent listings show a commission of 9 percent from a threshold price, with lower rates under that threshold in some summaries, plus payment processing of 3.49 percent plus $0.49, so confirm your item price band before listing. The audience is narrower than eBay, and womens fashion does better on Poshmark or Depop. For mens designer and streetwear resellers, Grailed is the best specialist app on this list.

What we like
  • Focused audience for mens designer and streetwear
  • Trusted for higher-end fashion
  • Offer and listing tools for resellers
Watch out for
  • Commission plus payment processing
  • Narrower audience than eBay or Poshmark

How we picked these

We compared official fee and help pages, app store listings, and public reviews for reselling apps that are live and widely used in the US in October 2026. We included fashion, general, local, live, and specialist apps, because resellers sell different items to different buyers. Fees shown are the headline rates we could verify from recent official or reputable summaries; fees vary by category, price, shipping choice, and seller tier, so we advise confirming the fee in the app before listing. We did not run hands-on selling trials, so this list reflects documented fees and features, not personal sales results.

How to choose the right reselling app

Price the fee into your listing

A lower fee does not always mean more profit if the item sells for less or sits longer. Work out your net on each app for a sample price: a $50 sale nets about $50 on Vinted, about $47.90 on Depop after processing, about $45 on Mercari, about $42.80 on eBay, and $40 on Poshmark, before shipping costs you cover. Use those numbers to set prices, not just to pick an app.

Match the item to the audience

Vintage and streetwear belong on Depop or Grailed. Brand-name womens fashion belongs on Poshmark. Everyday clothes belong on Vinted. Mixed household goods belong on Mercari. Rare, electronic, or collectible items belong on eBay, and bulky goods belong on Facebook Marketplace or OfferUp. Cross-listing the same item on two or three apps can help, but delist it everywhere else the moment it sells to avoid a double sale.

Get shipping and safety right

Take clear photos in good light, describe flaws honestly, and measure items where size matters. For local sales, meet in a public place during daylight and confirm payment before handing over goods. For shipped sales, use tracked shipping, keep receipts, and pack items so they survive a courier journey. Good photos and honest condition notes reduce returns more than any fee saving.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best reselling app for beginners?

Mercari is the best reselling app for most beginners, because listing is simple, the audience is broad, and the 10 percent fee is easy to understand. Vinted is also easy for clothing-only sellers, and Poshmark suits beginners who focus on fashion and like social sharing. Start with one app, learn its fee and shipping rules, then add a second app only when you have steady sales.

What are the best resale apps with the lowest fees?

Vinted has the lowest seller cost, with no seller fee on standard sales, while Depop charges only payment processing of 3.3 percent plus $0.45 for US sellers. Mercari at 10 percent is next for general items, followed by eBay at about 13.6 percent plus a per-order fee, and Poshmark at 20 percent on sales over $15. Buyer fees and shipping choices can change the real cost, so check each listing before you price.

What is the best app for reselling clothes?

For everyday clothes, Vinted is cheapest. For brand-name fashion, Poshmark has the largest fashion audience despite its fee. For vintage and streetwear, Depop and Grailed are stronger, with Depop for a younger trend audience and Grailed for mens designer pieces. Many clothing resellers list on two apps at once to reach both audiences.

Is eBay or Poshmark better for reselling?

eBay is better for general items, collectibles, and volume selling, because its buyer pool is larger and it covers almost any category. Poshmark is better for fashion-only sellers who want a simple prepaid label and a social audience. For a clothing item, compare the net: eBay keeps about $42.80 on a $50 sale, while Poshmark keeps $40, but Poshmark may sell fashion faster.

Can I sell on more than one reselling app at once?

Yes, cross-listing is common, and many resellers list the same item on Poshmark, Mercari, and eBay at once. The key rule is to delist immediately when an item sells, or you risk selling the same item twice. Keep a simple spreadsheet or use a cross-listing tool if you sell at volume, and adjust prices for each app fee.

How do I get paid on reselling apps?

Most apps hold payment until delivery or buyer confirmation, then release funds to a bank account or linked payment method. Poshmark releases earnings after delivery, Mercari pays by direct deposit, and Vinted pays within a couple of days of completion in recent listings. Payout timing varies, so read each app payment page before you rely on the money for a bill.
