Sell Your Kids Shoes in Australia

Used kids shoes in Australia typically sell for A$11 to A$57 (about $8 to $40). Children’s shoes are the one clothing item where honesty about wear really matters, because a shoe moulded to another child’s foot is not a bargain at any price.

Selling kids shoes in Australia

Bank transfer via PayID is instant and is what most private buyers will offer. Cash on collection remains common for larger items.

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.

Seasons are inverted relative to the UK and North America: warm-weather items move from September, and winter gear from around May.

Getting it ready

Clean them thoroughly, including the insoles, and remove or replace anything soiled.
Measure the internal length in centimetres, since children’s sizing varies significantly between brands.

Brand, size and type: “Clarks School Shoes, Size 11F, Black Leather”. The width fitting is a genuine search for parents whose child has been measured, and it is almost never included in listings. Say leather or synthetic, and whether they are school shoes or casual.

Peaks in August for school shoes and again in spring. Barely-worn shoes in common sizes sell within days in season.

It costs nothing to list

There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the A$57 a buyer pays is the A$57 you keep. You and the buyer settle up and arrange the handover between yourselves; WishThrift does not hold the money or ship the item.

Where in Australia

Australia is a big place and what sells well moves with it. These are the parts of Australia with their own page for kids shoes.

Common questions

Where can I sell kids shoes 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.

How worn are they?

Photograph the soles and answer plainly. Lightly worn children’s shoes are a genuinely good buy; heavily moulded ones are not, and saying so builds the trust that sells the rest of your listings.

Should children wear second-hand shoes?

Lightly worn shoes are generally fine. Heavily worn ones have moulded to another child’s foot, which is why sole and insole condition matters.

How do I photograph them properly?

Soles up, in daylight. It is the first thing buyers want to see and saves a round of questions.
