Used kids clothes in Australia typically sell for A$10 to A$48 (about $7 to $34). Children’s clothes sell in bundles, not singly, so group by age and gender and price the lot — a single used t-shirt is not worth either party’s time.

- Single items, which rarely justify postage
Selling kids clothes in Australia
Bank transfer via PayID is instant and is what most private buyers will offer. Cash on collection remains common for larger items.
Australia Post covers everywhere, but distance pricing is real and interstate parcels cost meaningfully more than local ones.
WishThrift has not opened Australia for trading yet, so this page is a guide rather than a live marketplace — the category becomes browsable here the moment the first Australian sellers list.
Australia is a pre-launch market, so it is worth saying what a seller here should expect when it does open. Distance dominates everything: interstate parcels cost several times a metro delivery, and bulky items effectively only sell within a city. Most trade concentrates in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth, and buyers in those cities expect to collect rather than wait. Seasons run opposite to the northern hemisphere, so listings that follow UK or US timing arrive exactly half a year out of step — warm weather items want September, not March, and winter gear moves from around May.
Working out what yours is worth
- Sort by age band and photograph the bundle laid out
- Count the items and state the sizes clearly
Getting it ready
- Wash everything and check for the stains children’s clothes always have: knees, cuffs, collars and fronts.
- 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
- The size labels grouped together
- Any stain, hole or worn knee, photographed honestly
Put in the description
- Age band and gender, and the exact number of items
- A list of what the bundle contains by type
- Any recognisable brands included
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.
Seasonal by nature — sell summer bundles in spring and winter bundles in early autumn. Bundles priced sensibly sell within days; individual items rarely sell at all.
It costs nothing to list
There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the A$48 a buyer pays is the A$48 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 Australia?
List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. There is no selling fee, so the whole amount stays with you. Bank transfer via PayID is instant and is what most private buyers will offer. Cash on collection remains common for larger items.
What exactly is in the bundle?
List it by item type and count. Parents are working out whether it covers a season and a vague description invites low offers.
What puts buyers off?
Stains, especially on collars and knees. Check every piece in daylight, because photographs hide marks that buyers will find.
Are brands worth more?
Somewhat, but condition and bundle size matter more in this category than the label does.
