Used skirts in Canada typically sell for C$15 to C$66 (about $11 to $47). Skirts cover an enormous range, so fabric and construction quality do far more for the price than the style does.
What skirts are worth in Canada

Selling a skirt in Canada
Interac e-Transfer is the norm and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. It is what most buyers will suggest before anything else.
Shipping cost is the single commonest reason a Canadian listing stalls. Decide collection versus courier before you price it, and say which you are offering.
Two practical things shape a Canadian sale. Interprovincial shipping costs can exceed the value of a mid-priced item, which is why so much trade here is collection-only. And winter genuinely interrupts handovers in much of the country, so agree a window rather than a fixed day between December and March.
Winter clothing and sports equipment move from October, and the spring thaw brings the strongest few weeks for furniture, bikes and garden items.
Working out what yours is worth
- Check the lining is intact and hangs straight
- Work the zip fully
Getting it ready
- Measure the flat waist, the hip and the full length from waistband to hem.
- Look at the seat and hem for wear, pulls or marks.

Put in the description
- Fabric composition and whether it is lined
- Style: A-line, pencil, pleated, wrap
- Zip or elastic fastening, and whether it has pockets
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.
Light and cheap to post, folds small. Fold along the existing seams and add tissue for pleats or satin, since a creased skirt photographs badly on arrival and prompts avoidable questions.
It costs nothing to list
There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the C$66 a buyer pays is the C$66 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 Canada?
List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. There is no selling fee, so the whole amount stays with you. Interac e-Transfer is the norm and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. It is what most buyers will suggest before anything else.
Does it have pockets?
Answer it — it is asked constantly and a yes genuinely helps the sale.
What makes a skirt worth selling?
Fabric and lining. A lined skirt in natural cloth holds value; a thin unlined synthetic one sells for very little.
Should I give measurements?
Always. Waist and length flat, since skirt sizing varies widely between labels.
