Used earrings in Canada typically sell for C$15 to C$150 (about $11 to $110). Earrings are small, easy to post and heavily supplied, so precious metal and recognised makers carry most of the value.

Selling earrings 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.
Winter clothing and sports equipment move from October, and the spring thaw brings the strongest few weeks for furniture, bikes and garden items.
Working out what yours is worth
- Check both earrings match exactly
- Confirm both backs are present
Getting it ready
- Check the posts and backs for a hallmark or metal marking, and note whether the backs are included.
- Confirm both earrings match exactly — odd earrings sold as a pair is a real and avoidable complaint.
Photograph
- Both earrings together, front on, filling the frame
- The posts and backs, showing type and any marking
- The stones or detail close up, plus any scratch, tarnish or missing back
Put in the description
- Fitting type, and whether backs are included
- Dimensions — hoop diameter or total drop length
- Any stone, and whether both earrings are identical
Metal, style and fitting: “Sterling Silver Hoop Earrings, 20mm, 925 Hallmarked”. Diameter or drop length is the search on hoops and drops, and the fitting type — stud, hook, hoop, clip-on — matters because not everyone has pierced ears.
Cheapest jewellery to post. Use a small rigid box with the pair secured to card, and a tracked service — small parcels are exactly what goes astray.
It costs nothing to list
There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the C$151 a buyer pays is the C$151 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 earrings 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.
Do they match exactly?
Compare them side by side. Slight handmade variation is fine and worth mentioning; a mismatched pair sold as matching is not.
Are used earrings worth selling?
Precious metal and designer pairs sell reasonably. Costume earrings sell for small sums but still move.
Is a single earring worth anything?
Sometimes, to someone who lost one from a pair. Be explicit that it is a single, not a pair.
