How WishThrift Works

Buying and selling second-hand items has never been simpler. No fees, no fuss — just direct connections.

For Buyers

Browse or Search

Search for the item you want or browse by category. Filter results by city, condition, and price range to find exactly what you’re looking for. Tap the heart to save items, follow sellers you like, and save a search to get an email when new matches are listed.

💡 Use the city filter to find sellers near you for easy collection.

Message the Seller

Click ‘Message Seller’ on any listing. Ask questions, swap photos, make a price offer the seller can accept or decline, and arrange a collection time — all inside WishThrift. Turn on alerts to hear the moment they reply.

Agree & Collect

Agree on a price and collection point with the seller. Meet in a safe public place and inspect the item before paying. WishThrift never handles your money.

⚠️ Always meet in a public place. Never send money in advance.

🔒 Buyer Safety Tips

Meet in a public, well-lit location — coffee shop, shopping centre, train station
Inspect the item thoroughly before paying
Never send payment in advance to a stranger
Bring a friend for high-value purchases
Trust your instincts — if something feels wrong, don’t proceed

For Sellers

Create a Seller Account

List Your Item

Click ‘+ Sell’ and fill in the details: title, category, condition, price, description, and up to 10 photos. Your listing goes live immediately.

💡 Good photos = more messages. Use natural light and multiple angles.

Respond to Buyers

When a buyer messages you, you’ll see it in your dashboard inbox, and you can turn on phone or desktop alerts so you never miss one. Respond quickly — buyers often message multiple sellers at once.

Hand Over & Mark as Sold

Meet the buyer, receive your payment, and hand over the item. Then log into your dashboard and mark the listing as Sold so other buyers know it’s gone.

Share Your Catalogue

Every seller gets a free shop page, the WishThrift Catalogue, with your photo, bio, pinned items, sold history and reviews. Copy your link from My Catalogue in your dashboard and add it to your Instagram, TikTok, Facebook or YouTube bio. Buyers can follow you from there.

💡 Each platform gets its own link, so you can see which one sends you the most visitors. How the Catalogue works
