Everything you need to know to sell successfully on thriftsouk.
thriftsouk is the United Arab Emirates' marketplace for pre-loved and second-hand fashion. We connect buyers and sellers across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain — with secure AED checkout, Aramex courier delivery, and buyer protection on every order.
Every listing comes from a real wardrobe in the UAE. You'll find designer pieces, vintage finds, everyday staples, fragrances, and luxury bags at a fraction of retail. Shopping second-hand keeps quality fashion in circulation, saves water and CO2, and gives you access to pieces you won't find in mainstream stores.
Your payment is held securely until you confirm the item matches its description. If anything is wrong — wrong size, undisclosed flaws, not authentic — open a dispute within 48 hours of delivery and we refund you in full, at no extra fee.
List a piece in under two minutes from your phone. Aramex collects the parcel from your door once it sells, and you get paid as soon as the buyer confirms delivery. Founding Sellers keep 100% of every sale, for life.
The thriftsouk Seller Guide walks you through everything you need to start selling: setting up your profile, taking great photos, writing listings that convert, pricing competitively, packaging for shipping and getting your first sale. New sellers who follow the guide make their first sale on average within 7 days of listing.
Use natural daylight, a clean neutral background, and at least 4–6 photos per listing — front, back, close-ups of labels and any flaws. Honesty wins: clearly photographed wear or imperfections build buyer trust and reduce disputes. Avoid heavy filters; buyers want to see the real item.
Most pre-loved clothing sells between 20% and 50% of retail depending on brand, condition and demand. Luxury items hold value better — typically 40% to 70% of retail for in-demand pieces. Use thriftsouk's price suggestions, look at recently-sold comparable items, and consider enabling offers to give buyers room to negotiate.
Once an item sells, package securely and Aramex collects within 3 business days. Funds land in your UAE bank account 24 hours after buyer confirmation. Top sellers unlock listing bumps, bundle discounts, seller analytics, and the chance to apply for the verified Pro Seller programme with lower commission tiers and priority support.
