10 Best Places to Sell Designer Clothes Online

Selling designer clothes online comes down to one choice. You can list the piece yourself on a marketplace, or you can send it to a consignment service that prices and sells it for you.

Below are 10 places to sell designer clothes online. Each platform below was checked on its own pages in October 2026, and every fee comes from the platform's own page. Fees change often, so confirm them on the day you list.

Two names from older lists are no longer separate options. Tradesy.com now redirects to the Vestiaire Collective website. The old ASOS Marketplace address, marketplace.asos.com, now redirects to asos.com. Both redirects were checked on October 14, 2026.

Quick comparison

Fees are for sellers in the United States unless the row says otherwise.

The RealReal

The RealReal is a luxury consignment site. All items on the site are pre-owned and consigned to The RealReal.

You send or hand over your items, and The RealReal evaluates, inspects and authenticates them before they are listed. You can then see the status and the list price of each accepted item on your MySales page.

Your commission rate depends on your net sales within a one-year commission window. The RealReal typically begins processing commission payments on the 15th of each month for the previous month's sales.

For eligible items you can also ask for a Get Paid Now offer, which is a direct purchase instead of consignment. If you accept it, you sell the item to The RealReal at the offer price.

Good fit: sellers who want authentication and pricing handled for them. Trade-off: you do not set the price yourself.

Vestiaire Collective

Vestiaire Collective is a resale marketplace for pre-loved fashion where you create the listing yourself.

You add the category, brand, size and material, a description and at least three photos, including one of the brand tag. Vestiaire Collective suggests a price based on similar sold items. An expert reviews each listing before it is published, which usually takes up to 24 hours and can take up to 48.

If a buyer orders with authentication, you ship the item to a Vestiaire Collective warehouse for Authentication & Quality Control within 7 days, and the team then ships it to the buyer. Payment is issued the next business day after that check is complete.

For US sellers listing in USD, items priced between $83 and $16,667 carry a 12% selling fee. Items under $83 have a fixed $10 fee. Items over $16,667 have a fixed $2,000 fee. Vestiaire Collective does not accept items listed for less than $18. A 3% payment processing fee (minimum $3) also applies. Listing is free.

Good fit: designer pieces that sell to an international audience. Trade-off: your listing waits for review before it goes live.

Poshmark

Poshmark is a social marketplace where you list, share and sell from your own closet.

You snap a photo, price the item and list it. You can share listings with your followers to help shoppers find them. When an item sells, each label comes prepaid and pre-addressed, and you can cash out as soon as the order is complete.

Listing is free. For sales under $15 the fee is a flat $2.95. For sales of $15 and above the fee is 20% and you keep 80%.

Items from select luxury brands priced at $500 or more go through Posh Authenticate, which is free for orders of $500 and up. Eligible orders are sent to Poshmark for authentication before they reach the buyer.

Good fit: mid-range designer pieces and sellers who like a social, hands-on approach. Trade-off: you handle photos, pricing and shipping.

Checked on Poshmark's own pages on October 14, 2026.

eBay

eBay lets you sell in auction-style or fixed price listings.

Every month you get up to 250 zero insertion fee listings. When an item sells, eBay charges a final value fee. For most categories it is 13.6% of the total sale up to $7,500, plus a per order fee of $0.30 for orders of $10 or less and $0.40 for orders over $10.

For eligible apparel priced $200 or more, the eBay Authenticity Guarantee applies. eBay's list of eligible brands includes Balenciaga, Burberry, Dior, Gucci, Moncler, Prada, Supreme and Off-White. The item is inspected by authentication experts before it is shipped to the buyer.

The eBay Money Back Guarantee covers most transactions. Buyers can get their money back if an item did not arrive, is faulty or damaged, or does not match the listing.

Good fit: sellers who want full control over price and format. Trade-off: you take the photos, write the listing and ship the item yourself.

Grailed

Grailed is a fashion marketplace with menswear and womenswear sections, where you list and ship the item yourself.

Grailed is free for buyers. Sellers pay a commission of 9% on sales of $120 and above, and a reduced 6% (minimum $1.99) on sales under $120. A separate payment processing fee applies. For US domestic payments with a seller onboarded with Stripe, it is 3.49% + $0.49.

Listings that show a Grailed Verified card have been assessed by Grailed or its trusted partners before they appear in the feed.

Good fit: designer menswear and streetwear sellers. Trade-off: you handle the listing and shipping.

ThredUp

ThredUp works like an online consignment store. You fill a Clean Out bag with women's or kids' clothes, handbags, shoes or accessories and send it in.

ThredUp handles inspection, photography, pricing and listings. You earn a percentage of the selling price as your items sell, as cash or shopping credit. ThredUp does not accept men's clothing and accessories.

There are no upfront fees. A service fee is deducted from your earnings only after items sell, and it is $34.99 for a Premium Clean Out. For most items, credit is issued after the 14-day buyer return window has ended.

Good fit: sellers with many pieces who prefer a hands-off process. Trade-off: the whole cycle takes weeks, and you have limited control over the price.

Depop

Depop is a fashion resale app where you list items, sell them and ship them to the buyer yourself. Etsy completed the sale of Depop to eBay on July 30, 2026.

No Depop selling fees are charged to sellers based in the US. A payment processing fee of 3.3% + $0.45 applies to the item price plus shipping and any taxes. Boosted Listings carry a separate boosting fee.

Payment goes to your Depop Balance 2 business days after the item shows as delivered or 10 business days after the sale, whichever comes first.

Good fit: trend-led and vintage designer pieces. Trade-off: you do all the listing, photos and shipping.

For certain items, Mercari offers Mercari Authenticate, a check by Real Authentication, an independent third-party service. The fee is shown at checkout.

Good fit: sellers who want a simple, flat fee. Trade-off: you handle the listing and shipping.

Checked on Mercari's own help pages on October 14, 2026.

Vinted

Vinted is a marketplace for pre-loved clothes, shoes and accessories.

You snap a few photos, add a description and set your price. There are no selling fees on Vinted. Buyers pay for shipping, and you get a prepaid label. Vinted adds a fee to the buyer's transaction instead.

Good fit: everyday designer pieces where a lower total price helps the sale. Trade-off: you handle the listing and drop-off.

Checked on Vinted's own US page on October 14, 2026.

Etsy

Etsy is an option only for vintage designer clothing. Under Etsy's rules, vintage items are items that are 20+ years old. Resold commercially available items newer than 20 years do not qualify.

Etsy charges a $0.20 listing fee, and listings stay active for four months or until they sell. When an item sells, there is a 6.5% transaction fee plus a payment processing fee that depends on where your bank account is.

Good fit: true vintage pieces. Trade-off: recent designer clothing does not qualify.

How Authenticating Your Designer Clothes Can Help You Sell Them

Buyers of designer clothing want to know the piece is genuine. Keep original receipts, tags, dust bags and any authenticity cards, and photograph the labels, care tags and stitching clearly.

Some platforms run their own checks. The RealReal authenticates consigned items before listing them. On Vestiaire Collective, Poshmark and eBay, eligible orders are checked before they reach the buyer. On marketplaces where you list and ship directly, the proof you add to the listing matters more.

Learn the details that separate genuine pieces in our guide on how to authenticate designer clothes. If you want an independent opinion before you list, you can order a clothing authentication from LegitGrails.

FAQ

Where can I sell authenticated designer items online?

The RealReal authenticates consigned items before listing them. Vestiaire Collective, Poshmark and eBay check eligible orders before they reach the buyer, and Mercari offers a third-party check for certain items.

What is the best app for selling luxury fashion?

It depends on how much work you want to do. Consignment services such as The RealReal and ThredUp handle pricing and listing for you. Marketplaces such as Vestiaire Collective, Grailed and Poshmark let you set the price yourself.

Where can I sell designer clothes for cash?

The most direct route is The RealReal's Get Paid Now offer for eligible items, a direct purchase instead of consignment. On marketplaces you are paid after the sale. On Depop, for example, payment reaches your Depop Balance 2 business days after delivery or 10 business days after the sale, whichever comes first.

Can you still sell on Tradesy?

No separate Tradesy site was available on October 14, 2026. Tradesy.com now redirects to the Vestiaire Collective website.

Conclusion

The right place to sell designer clothes depends on the piece and on how much of the work you want to do. Consignment services handle much of the work for a commission or service fee. Marketplaces leave the listing and shipping to you.

Compare the fees above on the day you list, and keep proof of authenticity ready whichever platform you choose.
