Sell Your Kids Clothes in Canada

Used kids clothes in Canada typically sell for C$9 to C$47 (about $7 to $34). Children’s clothes are outgrown long before they wear out, which is why bundles rather than single items are how this category actually sells.

What pulls it down

• Stains, particularly around collars and knees
• Bobbling and thinning on cheaper fabrics

Selling kids clothes in Canada

Interac e-Transfer is the norm and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. It is what most buyers will suggest before anything else.

Canada Post, Purolator and UPS cover the country, but rates change sharply between provinces and remote postcodes carry surcharges.

Shipping cost is the single commonest reason a Canadian listing stalls. Decide collection versus courier before you price it, and say which you are offering.

Two practical things shape a Canadian sale. Interprovincial shipping costs can exceed the value of a mid-priced item, which is why so much trade here is collection-only. And winter genuinely interrupts handovers in much of the country, so agree a window rather than a fixed day between December and March.

Working out what yours is worth

• Sort by age band and photograph the bundle laid out
• Check every item in daylight for stains

Getting it ready

• Sort into bundles by age band and gender, and count the items in each.
• Check every zip, popper and button, and set aside anything with damage rather than hiding it in the bundle.

Photograph

• The full bundle laid out so every item is visible
• A close view of two or three of the best pieces
• Any stain, hole or worn knee, photographed honestly

Put in the description

• A list of what the bundle contains by type
• Any recognisable brands included
• Condition of each item, and any stains or damage listed openly

Age band, gender, count and season: “Boys 3-4 Years Clothes Bundle, 12 Items, Autumn/Winter”. Age band and item count are the two things parents filter on. Naming recognisable brands in the title lifts the price noticeably if the bundle contains any.

Light and cheap to post in a large mailing bag. Vacuum bags reduce the parcel considerably on bigger bundles.

It costs nothing to list

There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the C$47 a buyer pays is the C$47 you keep. You and the buyer settle up and arrange the handover between yourselves; WishThrift does not hold the money or ship the item.

Common questions

Where can I sell kids clothes in Canada?

List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. There is no selling fee, so the whole amount stays with you. Interac e-Transfer is the norm and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. It is what most buyers will suggest before anything else.

Is it from a smoke-free, pet-free home?

Answer if asked, and volunteer it if true. Parents buying children’s clothes ask this more than any other category.

How should I sell children’s clothes?

In bundles grouped by age and season. Single items rarely cover the effort, while a well-sorted bundle sells quickly.

Are brands worth more?

Somewhat, but condition and bundle size matter more in this category than the label does.
