How we keep pre-owned trustworthy
Three layers of trust: (1) every listing AED 500+ goes through manual listing review; (2) every listing is moderated for quality, accuracy and counterfeits; (3) every payment sits in escrow until the buyer confirms delivery. If anything is off, buyer protection refunds you in full within 48 hours.
Pre-owned pricing in the UAE
Expect 30–50% off retail for everyday and mid-tier brands in good condition, 50–70% off for older-season designer, and 30–60% off for current-season luxury. Hot-demand pieces (Hermès Birkin, vintage Rolex, discontinued Chanel) can hold or exceed retail.
Selling pre-owned in the UAE
List in 2 minutes via the app, Aramex picks up from your address when it sells, earnings go to your thriftsouk balance when the order completes and can be withdrawn to your UAE bank. The first 1,000 sellers (Founding Sellers) keep 100% of every sale for life — private sellers pay no commission.
Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between pre-owned, preloved and secondhand?
All three terms mean the same thing — a previously owned item being resold. Pre-owned is often used for luxury, preloved for everyday fashion, secondhand for everything. On thriftsouk, every listing is one of these — just sorted by brand and condition.
How do you protect against counterfeits?
Every item AED 500 and above is manually reviewed by our luxury team before it goes live. We check photos, serial numbers, hardware, stitching and provenance. Sellers of counterfeit items are permanently banned.
What if my pre-owned item doesn't fit?
Sizing varies by brand — every listing includes measurements in cm. If the item doesn't match the listed measurements, buyer protection applies. For 'just doesn't suit me' returns, individual sellers set their own policy.
Can I return a pre-owned item?
If it doesn't match the description, yes — open a dispute within 48 hours of delivery for a full refund. Beyond that, return policies are seller-specific.
How do I sell my own pre-owned clothes?
Snap photos, list in 2 minutes, we handle Aramex pickup and AED payouts. Founding Sellers keep 100% of every sale forever.
