American thrifters have plenty of apps — and plenty of fees. Poshmark takes 20% on sales over $15, eBay’s final-value fees run around 13%, and Mercari’s structure has changed repeatedly. WishThrift takes a different approach for US buyers and sellers: no fees on either side, prices in USD, and one account that covers clothing, electronics, furniture, books and 21 more categories.
What WishThrift adds in a crowded US market
The US is the world’s biggest resale market — about $43 billion in 2023, heading for $73 billion by 2028 (ThredUp/GlobalData). But the major US apps are walled gardens: your Poshmark closet can’t reach a buyer in London, and European vintage rarely surfaces on US-only platforms. WishThrift’s listings come from any country, so US buyers see cross-border finds — European vintage, Japanese streetwear, Indian handicrafts — priced automatically in dollars.
Why US sellers list on WishThrift
- Keep 100%: on a $100 sale, Poshmark keeps $20 — WishThrift keeps nothing.
- Sell beyond fashion: one platform for the whole garage-clearout, not just the closet.
- International buyers: Americana — vintage denim, band tees, sports memorabilia — has strong overseas demand most US apps can’t reach.
- Free cross-listing: since listing costs nothing, WishThrift works alongside your existing Poshmark or eBay presence.
How buying and selling works
WishThrift is a direct-deal marketplace: sellers list for free, buyers browse and message the seller on-platform, and the two of you agree the payment method and delivery. There is no commission and no checkout surcharge on either side — the price you see is the price that changes hands. Identity-checked sellers carry a Verified Sellers badge, and keeping the conversation on-platform keeps a record of everything agreed. For cross-border orders, agree tracked shipping and who covers it before anything is sent.

FAQ
Is WishThrift free in the US?
Completely — no listing fee, no commission, no buyer surcharge.
How is WishThrift different from Poshmark or Mercari?
No fees, all categories rather than fashion-first, and a globally open buyer pool. The trade-off: payment and shipping are agreed directly with the other party rather than through an integrated checkout.
Can I sell internationally from the US?
Yes — your listings are visible worldwide in 147 currencies. Agree tracked international shipping and who covers it in messages before sending.
