Used kids clothes in the UAE typically sell for AED 25 to AED 125 (about $7 to $34). Children’s clothes are outgrown long before they wear out, which is why bundles rather than single items are how this category actually sells.

Selling kids clothes in the UAE
Bank transfer and cash on collection are both normal. Confirm funds have cleared before handing anything over.
Domestic courier coverage is quick and cheap by international standards, and most of the population is within a short drive of everyone else.
Trading is not open in the Emirates yet, so treat this as a reference page: the pricing and the checks below hold, but the listings will appear once sellers here start posting.
The Emirates is a pre-launch market, so this is what a seller here should expect when it opens. The population turns over unusually fast, and that shapes the whole market: relocation sales put nearly-new furniture, appliances and cars on the market at heavy discounts, and the best stock appears in concentrated bursts as people leave. Distances are short and courier coverage is quick and cheap, so postage is rarely the obstacle it is elsewhere. Expect buyers to move fast and to expect a reply the same day.
Working out what yours is worth
- Check every item in daylight for stains
- Count the items and state the sizes clearly
Getting it ready
- Sort into bundles by age band and gender, and count the items in each.
- Wash everything and check for the stains children’s clothes always have: knees, cuffs, collars and fronts.
Photograph
- A close view of two or three of the best pieces
- 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
- Condition of each item, and any stains or damage listed openly
Light and cheap to post in a large mailing bag. Vacuum bags reduce the parcel considerably on bigger bundles.
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 AED 124 a buyer pays is the AED 124 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 the UAE?
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 and cash on collection are both normal. Confirm funds have cleared before handing anything over.
Are there any stains?
Check knees, cuffs and fronts under good light and disclose everything. Parents expect some wear and resent finding undisclosed marks.
How should I sell children’s clothes?
In bundles grouped by age and season. Single items rarely cover the effort, while a well-sorted bundle sells quickly.
What puts buyers off?
Stains, especially on collars and knees. Check every piece in daylight, because photographs hide marks that buyers will find.
