Short answer: Vinted and Poshmark come closest to Depop for everyday secondhand fashion. Grailed is better for menswear and streetwear, Vestiaire Collective for authenticated luxury, and ThredUp if you would rather not take photos yourself.
- Vinted for cheap everyday clothes, popular in Europe and the UK
- Poshmark for a social, app-based marketplace in North America
- Grailed for menswear and streetwear
- Vestiaire Collective for designer pieces
Depop made selling secondhand clothes feel like scrolling a social feed: you follow shops, like items and message sellers. If the fees, the audience or the style of the app no longer suit you, these are the alternatives worth a look. They differ mainly in who shops there and how much work you do as a seller.
Vinted
The closest match for everyday clothing. Vinted is built around quick listings from your phone and is especially big in Europe and the UK. Prices tend to be low, which is good for buyers and means sellers move a lot of items rather than a few expensive ones.
Poshmark
Poshmark is the most social alternative: you share listings, follow closets and join virtual “parties” around themes or brands. It works best in the US and Canada and suits sellers who enjoy being active in the app.
Mercari
Mercari is a general marketplace, so next to clothes you will find electronics, toys and home goods. It is a good option if you want to clear out more than just your wardrobe.
eBay
The biggest audience of the list. On eBay you can sell at a fixed price or by auction, which helps with rare or collectible pieces where you are not sure what they are worth.
Grailed
Grailed focuses on menswear, streetwear and designer labels. Buyers there know what they are looking for, so well-described items from sought-after brands do well.
Vestiaire Collective
For designer and luxury items, Vestiaire Collective is the safer route: the platform offers authentication, which gives buyers more confidence when they spend more.
ThredUp
ThredUp works the other way round: you send in a bag of clothes and the platform photographs, prices and sells them for you. You earn less per item, but it saves a lot of time. It operates in the US.
How to choose
Start with what you sell. Cheap basics sell fastest on Vinted or Mercari, streetwear on Grailed and luxury on Vestiaire Collective. Then check the fees and shipping rules on the platform’s own help pages before you list, because these change regularly and differ per country. More options are on our pages with sites like Poshmark and sites like eBay.
