Sell Your Used Pet Stroller — 0% Fees

A used pet stroller typically sells for £20 to £90, and on WishThrift it costs you nothing to list — no fee, no commission, so you keep the whole amount you agree. Pet strollers are a small market with motivated buyers — usually owners of elderly or recovering animals — and weight capacity is the fact that decides the sale.

The short version

What decides your price: condition, and how well you evidence it in photographs
Cost to sell here: nothing, at any price

Before you photograph it

Ten minutes here is worth more than anything else you will do. Buyers are deciding between your listing and someone else’s, and preparation is what visibly separates the two.

Check the maximum weight capacity from the label and confirm the frame and wheels are sound.
Test the folding mechanism, brakes and every zip, and check the mesh panels for tears.
Clean the interior thoroughly and check whether the inner liner is removable and washable.

The photographs that sell a pet stroller

Four photographs do almost all the work. Shoot in daylight, near a window, with the item against something plain — and do not use the flash, which flattens texture and hides exactly what buyers are trying to see.

The interior with the top unzipped
The wheels, brake and folding catch
The folded footprint, plus any tear, worn wheel or broken zip

Photograph the flaws too. It feels counterproductive, but a listing that shows the worst of an item gets fewer questions, fewer withdrawn offers and fewer arguments at handover. Buyers who can see the damage stop imagining something worse.

Writing the title and description

Capacity, type and features: “Pet Stroller, Up to 15kg, 4 Wheel, Folds Flat”. Weight capacity is the search. Say whether it is a four-wheel or three-wheel design and whether the carrier detaches, which some do.

Then state these in the description, because a buyer who has to ask is a buyer who might not bother:

Maximum pet weight and internal compartment dimensions
Folded and assembled dimensions, and stroller weight
Whether the carrier detaches and whether the liner is washable
Wheel, brake, zip and mesh condition

What buyers will actually ask

You will receive the same three messages about a pet stroller. Answering them in the listing itself removes the back-and-forth, and answering them well when they do arrive is what turns an enquiry into a sale.

“What weight does it take?”

Quote the label figure. Owners are matching a specific animal and an overloaded stroller handles badly and fails at the frame.

“Does it fold easily?”

Demonstrate and give the folded dimensions. Most buyers are transporting it in a car and storage matters.

“Is the mesh intact?”

Check every panel. Mesh is what keeps the animal in and lets it see out, and tears are hard to repair neatly.

Pricing it so it actually sells

Start from the honest condition grade rather than the price you hope for. WishThrift listings use five grades — New with Tags, Like New, Good, Fair and For Parts — and what each grade means is worth reading before you choose, because grading up is the most expensive mistake sellers make. It does not raise the price; it produces a buyer who arrives expecting something else.

The pet stroller value guide prices all five grades for this item. Pick your grade, take the figure, and if you sit between two grades price toward the lower one. Items priced honestly sell faster than items priced hopefully, and on a free platform there is no fee eating the difference anyway.

What you keep, compared

On a £55 sale — roughly the middle of the range for a pet stroller — here is what the commission-charging platforms would take, and what you would keep on each:

Where you sell it	Fee	You keep
WishThrift	£0	£55
Poshmark	−£11	£44
eBay	−£7	£48
Mercari	−£6	£49
Etsy	−£4	£51

Seller-side rates verified 26 Jul 2026 — Poshmark: 20% commission on sales of $15 and above; eBay: 13.6% final value fee, plus a per-order fee; Mercari: flat 10% selling fee; Etsy: 6.5% transaction fee, plus a listing fee and payment processing. Percentages are applied to the sterling figure above; the fixed per-order and processing charges those platforms add are quoted in their own currency and are not included here, so the real deductions are slightly larger. Full breakdown: marketplace selling fees compared.

Timing and getting it to the buyer

Steady year round with a modest spring lift. Sells to a small but motivated audience whenever one appears in good condition.

Bulky folded, so measure the packed parcel. Collection is often simpler, and give the folded dimensions either way.

WishThrift does not process payments or arrange delivery — you and the buyer agree both directly — so confirm payment has cleared before the item leaves your hands, and keep the conversation on the site so there is a record of what was agreed.

Who buys pet strollers?

Mostly owners of elderly, disabled or recovering animals, and people travelling with small pets. It is a small market but a motivated one, and honest condition detail matters more than price.

No, only on some. It is a genuine convenience feature, so say clearly whether yours does.
