Sell Your Used Hoodie — 0% Fees

A used hoodie typically sells for £10 to £45, and on WishThrift it costs you nothing to list — no fee, no commission, so you keep the whole amount you agree. Hoodies are cheap and plentiful, so yours sells on brand, print and the state of the cuffs — and on being photographed properly, which almost nobody bothers to do.

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.

Wash it and, if the print is cracked, say so rather than photographing it from a distance.
Check the cuffs and hem ribbing for stretch, and the drawcords for both being present.
Look inside the neck for the size tag and the composition, particularly the cotton percentage.

The photographs that sell a hoodie

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.

Laid flat, front, on a plain surface
The print or logo close up, showing any cracking
The neck tag with brand and size
Cuffs and hem, plus any bobbling, stain or hole

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 It feels counterproductive, but a listing that shows the worst of an item gets fewer questions, fewer withdrawn offers and fewer arguments at handover.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

Brand and print, then size: “Champion Reverse Weave Hoodie, Grey, Size L”. Heavyweight and reverse-weave constructions sell for far more than thin ones, so say the weight if you know it. Vintage or a specific tour print belongs in the title — those are searched deliberately.

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

Brand, size and pit-to-pit laid flat
Cotton percentage and whether it is a heavyweight fabric
Print condition, including any cracking or peeling
Pullover or zip-up, and whether both drawcords are present

What buyers will actually ask

You will receive the same three messages about a hoodie. 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.

“Is the print cracked?”

Photograph it close up. Print cracking is the main thing that separates a £40 hoodie from a £12 one and buyers zoom in.

“What are the measurements?”

Give pit-to-pit and length. Hoodie sizing varies wildly between brands and between decades.

“Is it genuine?”

Photograph the neck tag and the wash label. WishThrift does not verify items, so clear label photographs are what a buyer has to judge by.

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 hoodie 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 £27 sale — roughly the middle of the range for a hoodie — 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	£27
Poshmark	−£5	£22
eBay	−£4	£23
Mercari	−£3	£24
Etsy	−£2	£25

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

Sells all year with a lift from September onward. Recognised brands and vintage prints move within days; plain unbranded hoodies are abundant and slow.

Light, compact and among the cheapest garments to post, so there is no reason to limit yourself to local buyers.

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.

Frequently asked questions

What is a used hoodie worth?

Usually £10 to £45, with heavyweight and vintage branded pieces above that. See the hoodie value guide for the condition breakdown.

Do cracked prints still sell?

Yes, at a lower price, and on genuine vintage a lightly cracked print can even be part of the appeal. Show it clearly and let the buyer decide.

How do I make a hoodie listing stand out?

Photograph it flat in daylight rather than crumpled, give real measurements, and name the exact colourway. Most hoodie listings do none of those things, so doing all three puts you well ahead.
