Used midi skirts in the US typically sell for $13 to $54. Midi lengths sell year-round, which makes them steadier than seasonal pieces, though supply is heavy.

Selling a midi skirt in the US
Peer-to-peer payment apps dominate private sales, and buyers will usually offer one before they offer cash. Sales tax does not apply to a private sale between individuals.
The US resale market is enormous and highly local — most transactions still happen between people within driving distance of each other, and buyers expect to collect rather than wait for a courier.
USPS, UPS and FedEx all cover the country. USPS Ground Advantage is normally cheapest for anything under a few pounds in weight; above that the gap narrows quickly.
Working out what yours is worth
- Check pleats are still sharp and evenly spaced
- Measure the waist and full length
Getting it ready
- Check the zip, any slit, and whether the skirt is lined.
- Look at the hem for wear and the fabric for pulls, especially on knits and satins.

Put in the description
- Cut: A-line, bias, pleated or straight
- Whether there is a slit, and the fastening type
Fabric, style and length: “Satin Bias Cut Midi Skirt, Sage, Size 10, 78cm”. Put the centimetre length in the title — on different heights a midi becomes a maxi or a knee-length, and that mismatch is the main reason these come back.
Strongest spring through summer with a second lift before the party season. Satin and pleated styles sell fastest.
It costs nothing to list
There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the $54 a buyer pays is the $54 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 a midi skirt in the US?
List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. There is no selling fee, so the whole amount stays with you. Peer-to-peer payment apps dominate private sales, and buyers will usually offer one before they offer cash. Sales tax does not apply to a private sale between individuals.
Exactly how long is it?
Measure waistband to hem and give centimetres, plus the height it sat at midi length on you. Both facts take a minute.
Can dropped pleats be restored?
Pressing helps temporarily but rarely lasts, especially on synthetic fabrics. Photograph them as they are.
What length counts as midi?
Roughly mid-calf, but give the exact measurement rather than relying on the term, since interpretations vary.
