Fee comparison
| Platform | What it costs to sell |
|---|---|
| Wallapop | Free to list for individuals; optional paid promotions |
| WishThrift | No listing fee, no selling commission, and no buyer-side fee |
In full, as verified on 26 Jul 2026: Free to list with no listing fees or required subscription for individuals. Optional Bump and Spotlight promotions cost a few euros. Wallapop Pro is €39-€229 per month and is Spain only. Buyers pay shipping plus a protection fee on shipped orders.
Who actually pays
Sellers pay nothing on either platform for a standard listing. The difference is on the buyer’s side: Wallapop buyers pay a protection fee on shipped orders, on top of shipping. WishThrift charges the buyer nothing, because there is no shipping flow and no payment processing — the two parties arrange it between themselves.
What you keep on a sale
There is no gap to show here, and it would be dishonest to invent one. A standard listing is free on both platforms and neither takes a commission, so on a sale of any size you keep the full amount you agree with the buyer either way. The comparison below is therefore about reach and model, not price.
Where money does enter the picture is around the edges of that free listing, and that is worth reading carefully: Wallapop is free to list with no listing fees or required subscription for individuals. Optional Bump and Spotlight promotions cost a few euros. Wallapop Pro is €39 to €229 per month and is Spain only. Buyers pay shipping plus a protection fee on shipped orders.
Where Wallapop is genuinely better
A comparison that finds nothing good to say about the other side is not worth reading. These are real advantages, and for some sellers they will settle the question:
- Dominant in Spain, with a local audience WishThrift cannot match there, plus a real presence in Italy and Portugal.
- Shipping and buyer protection built in for people who would rather post an item than meet a stranger.
- A polished, genuinely well-designed app with strong location-based discovery.
- Wallapop Pro for high-volume Spanish sellers, which is a real product for people running a business.
Where WishThrift is better
- No buyer-side protection fee, so nothing is added to what your buyer pays.
- Live in the UK, US, India and Canada, where Wallapop is not a factor.
- Nothing to buy for visibility, so a free listing is never below a promoted one.
- Broad categories including furniture, tools and vehicles, not weighted toward fashion and electronics.
Who each one suits
Wallapop. Wallapop suits sellers in Spain and, to a lesser extent, Italy and Portugal, where its local audience makes it the obvious first choice.
WishThrift. WishThrift suits sellers in its four live markets, and anyone who would rather their buyer was not charged a protection fee on top of the agreed price.
WishThrift is also the newer and considerably smaller of the two, and that is worth saying plainly: a larger audience finds buyers faster. Because listing here costs nothing, the question is rarely which one to choose — it is whether there is any reason not to use both.
Moving your listings across
Wallapop listings translate directly in structure — short title, clear photographs, location — though you will usually want to write a longer description here, since WishThrift buyers are reading rather than swiping. Prices need converting, and it is worth stating plainly whether you will post the item or expect collection.
Want to try it without paying anything? Listing on WishThrift is free, there is no commission, and you keep the full amount you agree with the buyer — see how selling works or create a free account.
