Used leggings in Australia typically sell for A$15 to A$57 (about $11 to $40). Leggings sell on brand and opacity, and the question every buyer has is whether they go see-through when stretched — so answer it before they ask.

Selling leggings 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.
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.
Seasons are inverted relative to the UK and North America: warm-weather items move from September, and winter gear from around May.
Working out what yours is worth
- Stretch the fabric over your hand against the light
- Stretch the waistband and see whether it recovers
Getting it ready
- Check the waistband elastic, the gusset seam and the inner thigh for pilling or thinning.
- Note the brand, style name and fabric composition.

Put in the description
- Brand, style name, size and inseam length
- Fabric composition and whether they are squat-proof or sheer when stretched
- Waistband height and whether it has pockets
Brand, style and size: “Lululemon Align Leggings, 25 inch, Size 8, Black”. Named styles from activewear brands are searched exactly. State the inseam length, since the same style comes in several.
Steady all year with a January lift. Recognised activewear brands sell within days; high-street leggings sell slowly.
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.

Common questions
Where can I sell leggings 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.
Are they see-through when stretched?
Test it over your hand and photograph the result. This is the defining question for used leggings and honesty here sells the pair.
Do leggings hold their value?
Recognised activewear brands do reasonably. Unbranded leggings sell for very little because supply is enormous.
What causes pilling on leggings?
Friction between the thighs. It is the normal wear point and the first thing an experienced buyer looks at.
