Sell Your Used Stroller — 0% Fees

A used stroller typically sells for £40 to £250, and on WishThrift it costs you nothing to list — no fee, no commission, so you keep the whole amount you agree. Strollers sell on fold size and weight, because the buyer is thinking about a car boot, a bus or an aircraft cabin — so give both figures.

The short version

What decides your price: condition, and how well you evidence it in photographs
Cost to sell here: nothing, at any price

Before you photograph it

Ten minutes here is worth more than anything else you will do. Buyers are deciding between your listing and someone else’s, and preparation is what visibly separates the two.

Measure the folded dimensions and weigh it. These two numbers sell strollers and are almost never stated.
Fold and unfold several times to confirm the latch works, and test the brake on a slope.
Wash the fabrics if removable and check the harness, wheels and recline mechanism.

The photographs that sell a stroller

Four photographs do almost all the work. Shoot in daylight, near a window, with the item against something plain — and do not use the flash, which flattens texture and hides exactly what buyers are trying to see.

The stroller open, side on
Folded, next to something for scale
The seat fabric and harness, clean
The wheels, brake and any included raincover or accessories

Photograph the flaws too. It feels counterproductive, but a listing that shows the worst of an item gets fewer questions, fewer withdrawn offers and fewer arguments at handover. Buyers who can see the damage stop imagining something worse.

Writing the title and description

Brand, model and fold type: “Babyzen YOYO2 Stroller, Cabin Size Fold, 6.2kg”. Cabin-approved folds are a deliberate search worth real money. Put the weight in the title — parents carrying a stroller up stairs care about it a great deal.

Then state these in the description, because a buyer who has to ask is a buyer who might not bother:

Brand, model, and weight in kilograms
Folded dimensions, and whether it is cabin-approved
Whether it folds one-handed, and the recline positions available
Which accessories are included: raincover, footmuff, cup holder, adapters

What buyers will actually ask

You will receive the same three messages about a stroller. Answering them in the listing itself removes the back-and-forth, and answering them well when they do arrive is what turns an enquiry into a sale.

“How small does it fold?”

Give the folded dimensions in centimetres. Buyers are measuring against a specific boot or overhead locker.

“How much does it weigh?”

Weigh it. Parents lifting a stroller onto a bus or up stairs treat this as a primary specification.

“Does it recline fully?”

Check the positions and say. Full recline matters for younger babies and limits who the stroller suits.

Pricing it so it actually sells

Start from the honest condition grade rather than the price you hope for. WishThrift listings use five grades — New with Tags, Like New, Good, Fair and For Parts — and what each grade means is worth reading before you choose, because grading up is the most expensive mistake sellers make. It does not raise the price; it produces a buyer who arrives expecting something else.

The stroller value guide prices all five grades for this item. Pick your grade, take the figure, and if you sit between two grades price toward the lower one. Items priced honestly sell faster than items priced hopefully, and on a free platform there is no fee eating the difference anyway.

What you keep, compared

On a £145 sale — roughly the middle of the range for a stroller — here is what the commission-charging platforms would take, and what you would keep on each:

Where you sell it	Fee	You keep
WishThrift	£0	£145
Poshmark	−£29	£116
eBay	−£20	£125
Mercari	−£14	£131
Etsy	−£9	£136

Seller-side rates verified 26 Jul 2026 — Poshmark: 20% commission on sales of $15 and above; eBay: 13.6% final value fee, plus a per-order fee; Mercari: flat 10% selling fee; Etsy: 6.5% transaction fee, plus a listing fee and payment processing. Percentages are applied to the sterling figure above; the fixed per-order and processing charges those platforms add are quoted in their own currency and are not included here, so the real deductions are slightly larger.

Timing and getting it to the buyer

Steady demand all year. Compact and cabin-approved models from recognised brands sell within days; bulky older strollers move slowly.

Folds small enough to post, unlike most baby equipment, though collection is still common and lets the buyer try the fold themselves.

WishThrift does not process payments or arrange delivery — you and the buyer agree both directly — so confirm payment has cleared before the item leaves your hands, and keep the conversation on the site so there is a record of what was agreed.

Frequently asked questions

What is a used stroller worth?

Typically £40 to £250, with compact cabin-approved models from recognised brands at the top. See the stroller value guide for the condition breakdown.

Is it safe to buy a used stroller?

Generally yes, unlike car seats, since there is no crash history to consider. Buyers should check the fold latch, the brake and the harness themselves, and sellers should point out anything worn rather than wait to be asked.

Do accessories add value?

Yes, meaningfully. Raincovers, footmuffs and car seat adapters are expensive separately, so gather everything you have and list each item.
