Sites like Vinted in Ireland: where to sell (or swap) your clothes
Most of us have a wardrobe with a few too many "I'll wear it one day" pieces. Vinted has made it easy to turn those into cash, and a lot of people in Ireland use it. It's not the only way to clear out, though. Depending on what you've got, how fast you want it gone and whether you'd rather swap than sell, another option might suit you better.
Here's a plain comparison of the main places to sell second-hand clothes in Ireland, with sources for every fee. One of them is us, SellOrSwap.ie, so we've stuck to what each site says about itself.
Vinted
Vinted is built around fashion: clothes, shoes and accessories, with more categories added over time.
- Selling is free. Vinted says there are "zero selling fees, so what you earn is yours to keep" (How it works).
- Buyers pay a Vinted fee. It's mandatory at checkout and "usually 5% + €0.70", VAT included, plus shipping (Vinted price list, last updated 5 Oct 2026; Vinted fee).
- Posting is easy. Sellers print a prepaid label and drop the parcel off within 5 days. They're paid once the buyer confirms everything's OK (How it works).
- Refunds. Buyers get a refund if an item doesn't arrive, is damaged in transit or is significantly not as described. They need to report it within 2 days of delivery, and the buyer covers return costs unless agreed otherwise (How it works).
- Optional extras for sellers: paid Bumps (3 or 7 days) and Showcase (price list).
Vinted is a great fit if you're happy to post things and want a big audience of people shopping specifically for fashion.
Depop
Depop is a fashion resale app popular with younger shoppers. On fees, Depop's own pages don't fully agree. Its Irish sell page says "zero selling fees… payment processing fees and boosting fees still apply" (depop.com/ie/sell). Its Help Centre fee table lists a 10% selling fee for sellers outside the UK, US and Australia (Depop Help). Check the fee shown to you when you list.
Adverts.ie and Facebook Marketplace
Both are general local marketplaces, and clothes are one category among many. Adverts.ie is free for most private sellers (Adverts.ie help). Facebook Marketplace is free to list locally, and our research found no checkout or shipping option in Ireland (12 Oct 2026 research citing Facebook Help; not re-checked on 17 Oct). They're good for bundles, kids' clothes and bigger lots that suit collection, and you'll usually agree payment in person.
SellOrSwap.ie
SellOrSwap.ie is an Irish marketplace for everything, fashion included, where every ad can be for sale, for swap or both.
- Swap, don't just sell. Switch on "accept swaps" and people can offer one of their own items for yours, or an item plus cash. Swaps with no cash, or with cash paid in person, are free. If the cash part is paid by card in the app, whoever adds the cash pays a swap fee of €2 or 3% of the cash part, whichever is greater. Perfect for kids' clothes they've outgrown, or that jacket that's never quite been you.
- Free to list, swap and sell for cash in person. No fee to post a fashion ad, swap with no cash, or sell for cash at a meet-up (pricing).
- Post it or meet up. Choose collection, meet at a safe place, or post with An Post. If you post, the buyer pays the postage you set, and you post it yourself with An Post or any courier.
- Card payments with Buyer Protection. Pay by card in the app and the money is held until the handover code is confirmed. Posted items release automatically after 7 days, and opening a dispute pauses the release (terms). Buyer Protection costs the buyer 6% + €0.99, capped at €60. Sellers are paid after each sale, with no minimum payout, and the seller pays 2% of the item price on card sales, taken from the payout. Cash in person costs the seller nothing.
- Sizes that fit your family. Save clothing and shoe sizes for yourself and anyone you shop for, like your children, and see their sizes first when you browse (Help Centre).
- Optional bumps. Move your ad back up for €1.99 for 24 hours, €3.99 for 7 days (pricing).

Tips for selling clothes online in Ireland
- Photograph in daylight, on a plain background, front, back, label and any marks.
- Say the size two ways (UK and EU) and give measurements for jackets and jeans.
- Be upfront about wear. Bobbling, a small mark or a missing button: say it, and show it.
- Price to sell. Look at what similar items have actually sold for, not just what's listed.
- Bundle kids' clothes by age. Parents love a bag of "age 3–4" sorted in one go.
- Try a swap. If cash offers are slow, switching on swaps opens up a whole new set of buyers.
