Sell Your Skirt in the UK

Used skirts in the UK typically sell for £8 to £35 (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 the UK

Most private sales settle by bank transfer or cash on collection. Faster Payments clear in seconds, which makes a transfer as safe as cash for the seller — wait for it to land before the item leaves your hands.

Two practical things shape a UK sale. Bank holidays and the run-up to Christmas slow collections right down, so build a few extra days in. And postage from mainland Britain to Northern Ireland, the Highlands and the islands carries surcharges that catch sellers out — quote for the buyer’s actual postcode rather than a flat rate.

Second-hand demand peaks in January, in the weeks before Christmas, and at the start of the academic year in September.

Getting it ready

Look at the seat and hem for wear, pulls or marks.

Put in the description

Fabric composition and whether it is lined
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 £35 a buyer pays is the £35 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 the UK

The United Kingdom is a big place and what sells well moves with it. These are the parts of the United Kingdom with their own page for skirts.

Common questions

Where can I sell a skirt in the UK?

List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. There is no selling fee, so the whole amount stays with you. Most private sales settle by bank transfer or cash on collection. Faster Payments clear in seconds, which makes a transfer as safe as cash for the seller — wait for it to land before the item leaves your hands.

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.
