There are even specialized apps that let you sell specific products, like these apps for selling used books!

And in this post, I will share some of my favorite apps to sell your unwanted items quickly and conveniently.

So without further ado, let’s find out which resale app is best for selling what you have.

Best Selling Apps

Here are the top free apps for buying and selling things.

1. OfferUp

• Available for: Android – iOS

With OfferUp, you can sell anything, making it one of the most versatile buying/selling platforms.

It offers a range of useful, convenient features, like instant alerts when a user connects with you, the ability to contact buyers through the app and a rating system that shows you the best buyers/sellers.

2. 5Miles

• Available for: Android – iOS

5Miles is an app that allows you to buy, sell and search local classifieds and yard sales online.

5Miles is much more location specific than others, as it allows you to buy and sell items that are within five miles of your location. This means that with this app, goods never have to travel far to reach their recipient.

It’s a secure app that encourages verification of all of its member accounts.

It offers a wide range of features – one of the best being the ability to voice record. This allows you to create a detailed description of your product, quickly and easily.

You can also communicate through the app, making the buying/selling process easier.

3. Poshmark

• Available for: Android – iOS

If you’re a fan of luxury fashion, then Poshmark is the app for you. With this free app, you can sell high-end handbags, shoes, clothing and other fashion accessories.

Poshmark lets you communicate with the buyer and process payments quickly and easily.

It’s easy to use and, best of all, the buyer pays for shipping. But, it’s important to note that the app does take a 20% commission on items over $15.

4. BookScouter: Great for selling books

• Available for: Android – iOS

BookScouter is a fantastic app for selling all kinds of used books, including textbooks.

It lets you compare buyback prices from over 30 book vendors, which means you get the best price for your books.

Just enter the ISBN or title of your book, and BookScouter will display offers from the top book buyback sites.

Once you find the best deal, you can ship the book for free.

What I like about using BookScouter is that instead of manually going to different book buyback sites to enter ISBN and other book info to get prices, you enter it once in BookScouter and it checks all those sites for you!

5. Varage Sale

• Available for: Android – iOS

Varage sale (‘varage’ is a portmanteau for virtual garage) is an online garage sale.

The app allows you to buy and sell all of the items you’d expect to find at a yard sale, like clothing, toys, books and cribs.

Currently, this community-centric app is only available to users in select cities.

6. Amazon Seller App

• Available for: Android – iOS

If you’re serious about selling, then you’ll definitely want to take a look at the Amazon Seller App.

If you’re interested in using Amazon’s Seller platform, this app makes it much easier. It provides a suite of features that make selling easier, like the ability to communicate with buyers, view sales ranking, list multiple products and manage your seller account.

The Amazon Seller App also gives you some useful tips and assistance on operating an online business.

7. Decluttr

• Available for: Android – iOS

Decluttr is a great app to unload your old DVDs, cell phones, textbooks, game consoles, and tablets for extra cash.

It’s pretty easy to sell on this app, you simply scan the bar-code for the items you wish to sell to find the item in their database. Then you ship the item to them for free.

You can receive payments quickly via PayPal, or you can choose to get an old fashioned check in the mail when you sell your goods.

8. Mercari

• Available for: Android – iOS

For selling clothing, gadgets and electronics, there’s no better app than Mercari. With this app you can sell a plethora of new and used items, and keep track of your sales within the app.

You can even share your listing on social media with this app and increase its reach. But, best of all, Mercari is free and it does not take a commission from your sales.

9. Chairish (Great for selling furniture and home decor)

• Available for: Android – iOS

Chairish is another free app that you can use to buy and sell furniture and home décor items. This app focuses more on higher-end and vintage pieces.

All you need to do is provide simple details and a few photos of your item, and the site does the rest for you. This is another app that charges a 20% commission fee on sales.

10. Carousell

• Available for: Android – iOS

Whether it is clothing or gadgets, you can use Carousell to sell almost anything. With this app, you can create a beautiful listing in under 30 seconds. It provides a number of great features, like the ability to instantly share listings on social media.

Carousell differs from others in this list in that it doesn’t require you to take payments within the app. Instead, you’re supposed to meet with the potential buyer offline, at a safe location that both parties have previously agreed upon and then send money using another method, like PayPal for example. So, this gives you much more flexibility when selling an item.

11. Shpock

• Available for: Android – iOS

Shpock gives users quick and easy access to all of the gems on sale in their neighborhood. Using this app, you can quickly and easily sell your things to those in your local area.

Whether it’s an antique necklace or a secondhand smartphone, this app allows you to sell a variety of items.

With Shpock, you can put up a listing in less than 30 seconds. It’s a free app too, which doesn’t charge fees for basic usage.

12. Vinted

• Available for: Android – iOS

Vinted is a unique eCommerce app that allows you to buy, sell or swap fashion pieces, from shoes to clothing.

On the site, you can easily communicate with other members and payments are processed within the app. It does take a 19% commission fee.

13. Wallapop

• Available for: Android – iOS

Wallapop is a relatively new app that allows you to sell items in your community. Whether it’s a car or a computer, all you need to do to place an item on Wallapop is take a photo, write a short description and set your price.

The app is free to use and acts as your own virtual flea market.

14. Depop

• Available for: Android – iOS

Depop is a photo-based, virtual flea market where you can sell almost anything, whether it’s records or books. Essentially it mixes aspects of eCommerce sites, like eBay, with elements of social media sites, like Instagram.

It even provides filters that you can use to enhance your photos. The app is free and it doesn’t take commission fees.

15. Swaptions

• Available for: Android – iOS 

You can make some extra cash by simply swapping and selling your stuff to your community with Swaptions.

It takes just 30 seconds to post a listing on Swaptions and it’s completely free.

16. OLX

• Available for: Android – iOS

A unique app that lets you make money off of unwanted items is OLX. It’s a free classifieds app that allows you to sell items in your local area. So, whether it’s a used car or a vintage piece of furniture, OLX connects you with millions of buyers.

All you need to do is take a photo, create a short product description and then post your listing. This app utilizes your phone’s location, meaning you can use it on the go to find buyers in your area.

You can also share your listings easily on social media.

Now, unless mots selling apps that are designed to be used in the U.S. and a few other western countries, OLX can be used in a few other countries including Brazil, Bulgaria, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, and Uzbekistan.

17. Vestiaire Collective (Former Tradesy)

• Available for: Android – iOS

If you are looking for a “fashion-forward” selling app, Vestiaire Collective is the one.

It’s mostly focused on women’s clothing, shoes and accessories.

Once you create your listing you can set your price and preferred shipping methods. Before you publish it you can review your earnings breakdown with all fees Vestiaire Collective takes.

Once the item sells you ship it directly to the buyer. Once the buyer receives the item you get paid in your account and you can use the money as cash on the website to buy stuff or transfer to your bank account.

18. eBay

• Available for: Android – iOS

Sure, eBay has kind of gone out of style (mainly because they raised their fees so much that thousands of small-time sellers left the platform), but it is still a great platform to sell your stuff on since it is still popular.

If you don’t have an account yet, install the app for your device, then set up an eBay account and create a seller profile.

Take a few clear, well-lit pictures to really show off your item. Write honest, detailed descriptions about the item’s condition, size, and any flaws.

Then decide whether to go for an auction or a fixed-price listing.

If you have no idea how much to sell something for, do a little research to see how much similar items are going for and price your item accordingly.

19. Facebook Marketplace

• Available for: Android – iOS

Facebook Marketplace is a great platform for selling items locally. Whether it’s furniture, electronics, or clothes, you can quickly list and sell your used items to people nearby.

Since Facebook has millions of daily users, your listing can reach a wide audience.

And the best part?

There are no listing fees!

What’s cool about using Facebook is that you can even chat directly with potential buyers.

20. ThredUp

• Available for: Android – iOS

ThredUp is an awesome app for selling secondhand clothing, shoes, and accessories.

Now, ThredUp works differently than other apps. You have to actually send your stuff to them. They will then inspect everything and do all the listing work themselves (taking pictures, writing descriptions, etc.).

You can choose your own prices or let ThredUp handle it. For those of us who like a hands-off approach, ThredUp is the way to go!

And yes, they charge you a fee when your stuff sells. ThredUp’s service fee is $14.99 per 30 lb-capacity Standard bag or $34.99 per Premium bag.

21. Craigslist

• Available for: Android – iOS

Oh Craigslist, the original platform to buy and sell stuff online!

When it comes to selling apps and platforms that are totally free, as in there are no listing or sales fees, you can’t get any better than Craigslist.

All you need to do is take a few good pictures, add detailed descriptions, and mention your location to attract buyers in your area.

22. Nextdoor

• Available for: Android – iOS

Nextdoor, as the name suggests, is a neighborhood-based app that makes it easy to sell items to people in your local community.

It’s perfect for things like furniture, appliances, or household goods, since buyers are often looking for deals close by.

The app has a “For Sale & Free” section where you can post listings with photos and descriptions.

Best of all, it’s free to use, and you can easily set up local meetups for pickups.

23. Swappa Marketplace

• Available for: Android – iOS

If you are looking for a reliable app to sell used electronics like smartphones, tablets, laptops, and other gadgets, Swappa is a great option.

All you need to do is list your item and set a price.

What I particularly like about Swappa is that when your item sells, you get paid immediately via PayPal before you even ship your item to the buyer.

The app is super easy to use, allowing you to quickly upload photos and describe your product.

24. The RealReal (Best app for selling luxury items)

• Available for: Android – iOS

The RealReal is a luxury consignment app focused on high-end fashion, accessories, jewelry, and home decor. You’ve probably seen their ads on TV.

To get started, you can schedule a free pickup or send your item to The RealReal. Their experts will then authenticate and appraise your item.

Once they do that, your item gets listed.

You get paid via direct deposit, site credit, or check once your item sells.

25. Instagram

• Available for: Android – iOS

Instagram is a visually-driven platform that’s great for selling items.

By setting up a business account, you can take advantage of features like Instagram Shops and Stories to showcase your products to a wide audience.

Just post high-quality photos or videos, write detailed descriptions, and use relevant hashtags to boost visibility.

You can also engage directly with potential buyers through comments and DMs. With Instagram’s integration with Facebook Marketplace, managing listings is easier, and its large built-in audience helps you find interested buyers quickly.

27. Gameflip (Great for selling gaming related stuff!)

• Available for: Android – iOS

If you are a gamer and have a lot of used games gathering dust in the basement, this is for you!

Gameflip is a great site and app for buying and selling video games, in-game items, and gift cards.

So whether you have games you don’t play anymore, rare collectibles and sets, or digital content, using the Gameflip app, you can list them for sale quickly and easily.

Once your item sells, you get paid in your account, which you can withdraw into your bank.

27. Flyp

Update: It seems like they have changed direction. They no longer offer the original service. Instead the app is now a cross-listing and sharing tool “that helps resellers increase their online sales“. It is 100% free for the first 100 days. After that, there is a $9 monthly fee.

Flyp is an awesome app for selling clothes, shoes and accessories.

The major difference between this and other selling apps is that you don’t have to do any work!

The app connects you with their vetted Pro Sellers who will sell your stuff on your behalf for a commission.

So if you have a lot of stuff to sell but don’t have the time or patience to list them one by one, add pictures, descriptions, etc, give Flyp a try.

Updates

When I originally wrote this post, the below apps were still active. But since then, some have either gone out of business or have merged with other apps. We are keeping them in this section for archival reasons.

LetGo

• Update: OfferUp acquired Letgo in March 2020, so LetGo is basically OfferUp now!

LetGo is an app that allows you to sell anything from smartphones to shoes.

Similar to 5miles, LetGo is another location-specific app, which allows you to filter items based on distance from your location. This site does a great deal to make its members feel safe. You log in to LetGo via Facebook.

It will connect your profile to Facebook and your name and profile photo are imported. This step aids the app in confirming that you are who you say you are, and this makes you seem more trustworthy to other users. With the app you can communicate with other users and use the review system to rate buyers.

Dealo

• Update: Dealo is no longer available!

Combining elements of Craigslist, eBay, and Amazon, Dealo is one of the best apps for selling things online. You don’t need an account to start browsing items – but, you’ll need one if you want to sell things.

Dealo is a location specific app, so it will provide local listings. But, if you want to sell elsewhere, even worldwide, the app does have verified shipping as well. Payments on the site are processed via PayPal.

SocialSell

• Update: This app is no longer available!

With SocialSell, you can buy and sell new and used items locally. It doesn’t have a main website – instead, all listings are processed through Android and iOS apps.

You can communicate with buyers through the app, meaning you don’t have to give out your email address if you don’t want to.

It’s a relatively new app, so it might not be available yet in your area, but feedback for SocialSell, so far, has been positive.

Tradyo

• Update: Tradyo is no longer active!

Sell items to people in your neighborhood with Tradyo. Tradyo is a classified app, which allows you to post listings for free.

This app provides you with a selection of useful features, like instant chat, which makes selling your unwanted items easier.

Tips for Selling Stuff with Apps Successfully

Ok, now you know the best apps that you can use to sell your used stuff relatively fast and easy.

But selling your stuff successfully on apps goes beyond just listing them. You need to do a few things to stand out from hundreds of thousands of other listings, selling the same things you are.

Here are a few tips and tricks for using apps to declutter and make extra cash.

• Take high-quality pics: Clear, well-lit pictures make your items more appealing and help them stand out. Showcase the item from multiple angles and highlight any key features.
• Write an accurate description: Include important details like brand, size, condition, and any flaws. A detailed and honest description builds trust with potential buyers.
• Set the right price: Research similar items on the app to price your listing competitively. Don’t forget to consider shipping costs, if applicable.
• Respond as fast as you can: Be prompt in answering questions from buyers. Quick communication can seal the deal faster.
• Promote your listing (if you can): Use the app’s promotional features, such as boosted listings, to increase visibility and attract more buyers.
• Offer few payment options: Not everybody sues PayPal or Venmo. By accepting different forms of payment, you expand your pool of potential buyers instantly.
• Use the right app: Some apps work better for specific categories. For instance, ThredUp can be used for clothes or Swappa can be used for electronics.

Using these simple tips, you can increase your chances of selling your stuff faster and for the best price!

If you can wait a few days, apps like Poshmark and Mercari typically process payments within a few days after the sale.

Top apps for selling locally include Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, and Nextdoor. These platforms make it easy to connect with buyers nearby, allowing for quick and smooth transactions.

You can list a wide range of items, from furniture to electronics, and arrange for local pick-up or delivery.

How do I ship items sold through apps?

Shipping procedures vary from app to app. For example, selling platforms like eBay and Swappa provide prepaid labels that you can print and attach to your shipping package.
