thriftsouk is the simplest way to sell your used clothes in Dubai — snap a few photos, set a price, and we handle payments, buyer protection and Aramex pickup. No store, no stall, no fees for Founding Sellers.
List in under 2 minutes — Photo, brand, size, price — done. Our team approves new listings within hours.
Free Aramex pickup — Once your item sells, the courier collects from your door across Dubai and the UAE.
Get paid to your UAE bank — Earnings land in your thriftsouk balance once the order completes — withdraw to your UAE bank anytime.
Open the app, tap 'Sell', upload up to 8 photos, write a short description, and set your price. Your listing goes live across the marketplace and our category feeds. When a buyer pays, we email you a pre-paid Aramex label — drop the package or let the courier collect it. You're paid in AED once the buyer confirms the item arrived as described.
What sells best in Dubai
Lightly-worn Zara, H&M, Mango and Massimo Dutti go fast. So do barely-used designer pieces from Sandro, Maje, COS and Aritzia. Athleisure (Lululemon, Alo Yoga, Nike) sells year-round. For luxury, anything Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Dior, Prada, Gucci or Hermès above AED 500 is reviewed by our luxury team first and then surfaces in the Luxury tab — these typically sell within days.
Pricing tips from Dubai sellers
Most sellers price at 25–40% of original retail for everyday brands, and 50–70% for luxury in good condition. Add condition photos (no filters), measurements in cm, and a clean white or neutral background. Use 'Make an offer' on your listing so buyers can negotiate — sellers who enable offers sell 2.3x faster on average.
Fees, payouts and taxes
Founding Sellers (the first 1,000 sellers on thriftsouk) keep 100% of every sale, for life. Private sellers pay no commission. Earnings go to your thriftsouk balance and can be withdrawn to your UAE bank in AED — no listing fees, no monthly subscription, no hidden charges. We issue a sales summary you can use for your records.
Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to sell used clothes on thriftsouk?
Listing is free for everyone. Founding Sellers — the first 1,000 sellers on the platform — keep 100% of every sale forever. Private sellers pay no commission on sales; buyers pay the Buyer Protection fee. No subscription, no listing fees.
How do I get paid for clothes I sell in Dubai?
Once the order completes (the buyer confirms receipt, or automatically 48 hours after delivery), your earnings are added to your thriftsouk balance. Use the balance or request a withdrawal to your UAE bank account — processed within 3 business days.
Do I need a trade licence to sell used clothes in the UAE?
No — thriftsouk is designed for individuals selling from their own wardrobe. If you want to sell in volume as a business, we have a separate B2B portal that helps you get verified.
Where does Aramex pick up the package from?
Anywhere in the UAE. When your item sells, we email a pre-paid label — schedule pickup from your address (free) or drop it at any Aramex point. Buyers cover shipping at checkout.
What kind of clothes can I sell?
Pre-loved clothes, shoes, bags, jewellery, watches, abayas and unworn beauty / fragrance items. Everything must be authentic — counterfeits are removed and the seller is banned. Luxury listings above AED 500 are manually reviewed before they go live (a listing review, not an authentication).
