🛍 Where Should You Sell in 2025? A Reseller’s Guide to the Top Platforms
If you're diving into reselling this year—whether you're cleaning out your closet or building a business like me—knowing where to sell is just as important as what you’re selling. Each platform has its own vibe, rules, and audience.
I’ve broken down the most popular reselling platforms in 2025—based on seller fees, who shops there, what sells best, and what you should know before you list.
Let’s compare 👇
1. Poshmark
💰 Fees: 20% for sales over $15, $2.95 flat for sales under $15
🎯 Best for: Clothing, shoes, accessories
✨ Why I use it: It’s where I make the bulk of my sales. It’s social, has loyal buyers, and I can offer bundle deals.
⚠️ Heads-up: You have to “share” your listings often (use a tool like Flyp to save time).
📦 Perks: 1-2 day shipping labels, easy returns, and buyer/seller protection
2. eBay
💰 Fees: About 13.25% + $0.30 per sale (varies by category)
🎯 Best for: Everything—vintage, collectibles, plus-size clothing, household goods
✨ Why I crosslist here: It has a massive audience, and my vintage and hard-to-find pieces do well.
⚠️ Heads-up: Returns happen, even when you mark things as “no returns.” Descriptions and measurements matter.
📦 Pro Tip: I list new items on Poshmark first, then crosslist to eBay right away for more reach.
3. Mercari
💰 Fees: 10% selling fee + 2.9% + $0.50 payment processing
🎯 Best for: Home goods, kids’ clothes, toys, small electronics
✨ Why it works: Listings are quick, and you can print shipping labels from home.

4. Depop
💰 Fees: 10% selling fee + 2.9% + $0.30 payment processing
🎯 Best for: Y2K, streetwear, vintage, and trendy finds

6. Vinted
💰 Fees: $0 seller fees (buyer pays all fees)
🎯 Best for: Secondhand everyday fashion, kids’ clothing, shoes
✨ Why it’s gaining traction: It's growing in the U.S., and no fees = better margins.

📦 Pro Tip: Honesty in condition = fewer disputes. Vinted reviews matter.
7. Facebook Marketplace
💰 Fees: 5% (or $0.40 for sales under $8) if shipped
🎯 Best for: Local pickups, furniture, baby gear, housewares
✨ Why it’s still useful: Sometimes I just want something gone, and local pickup gets it done.
⚠️ Heads-up: Flaky buyers are common—have backup plans.
📦 Pro Tip: Meet in safe, public places. Don’t share personal info.
8. Etsy
💰 Fees: 6.5% + 3% + $0.25 processing + $0.20 listing
🎯 Best for: Vintage (20+ years old), handmade, upcycled pieces
✨ Why I don't use it much: My shop doesn’t focus on handmade or true vintage, but if yours does—this is your place.
⚠️ Heads-up: SEO and branding make or break your sales.
📦 Pro Tip: Add tags that describe style and decade (e.g., “90s grunge” or “boho cottagecore”).
9. Grailed
💰 Fees: 9% platform + 3.49% + $0.49

📦 Pro Tip: Use it for pieces that are authenticated high-end (Chanel, Gucci, etc.)
🐝 My Take as a Full-Time Reseller (and Busy Mom)
For We Bee Reselling, I stick with what works:
-
Poshmark for fast, steady sales of clothing
-
eBay for everything
Flyp to automate sharing and crosslisting (huge time-saver!)
Every platform has pros and cons. Don’t be afraid to test, track, and pivot. The goal? Find the mix that fits your inventory, your schedule, and your energy.
