Used skirts in Australia typically sell for A$15 to A$67 (about $11 to $47). Skirts are returned more than most garments because the length is wrong, so measure waist to hem and state it in centimetres.

Selling a skirt 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.
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
- Check the lining is intact and hangs straight
- Measure the waist and length flat
Getting it ready
- Check the zip runs cleanly and whether there is a lining.
- Look at the seat and hem for wear, pulls or marks.
Photograph
- Laid flat, front, whole skirt in frame
- The composition and size label
- The zip, the lining and any snag or mark
Put in the description
- Flat waist doubled, hip, and length from waistband to hem
- Fabric composition and whether it is lined
- Style: A-line, pencil, pleated, wrap
Style, fabric and size: “A-Line Midi Skirt, Wool Blend, Size 12, 70cm Long”. Length in centimetres belongs in the title because skirt length is entirely relative to the wearer. Say whether it is lined and whether it has pockets.
Steady with lifts in spring and before the party season. Midi and A-line styles sell fastest.
It costs nothing to list
There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the A$67 a buyer pays is the A$67 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 skirt 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 long is it?
Give the waist-to-hem measurement in centimetres and your own height. Length mismatch causes most skirt returns.
Does a torn lining matter?
Yes, more than buyers expect. It is visible when worn and repairs are fiddly, so photograph it.
Should I give measurements?
Always. Waist and length flat, since skirt sizing varies widely between labels.
