Sell Your Used Tracksuit — 0% Fees

A used tracksuit typically sells for £15 to £60, and on WishThrift it costs you nothing to list — no fee, no commission, so you keep the whole amount you agree. Tracksuits sell as a matched set, so confirm both pieces are the same colourway and size before listing — a mismatched set is worth far less than a real one.

The short version

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.

Check the top and bottoms are genuinely matching, same colour batch and same brand line.
Test all zips, the waistband elastic and both ankle cuffs.
Note the sizes of each piece separately, since they are often different.

The photographs that sell a tracksuit

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.

Both pieces laid out together, front
The brand logo and any embroidery close up
Both size tags together
Cuffs, zips and any pill, mark or repair

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 It feels counterproductive, but a listing that shows the worst of an item gets fewer questions, fewer withdrawn offers and fewer arguments at handover.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, line and both sizes: “Adidas Firebird Tracksuit, Navy, Top M Bottoms M”. Naming the specific line matters — sportswear tracksuit lines are searched individually. State both sizes, because they are frequently different.

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

Brand and specific product line
Size of the top and the bottoms, stated separately
Fabric composition and whether it is a matching set
Zip, elastic and cuff condition

What buyers will actually ask

You will receive the same three messages about a tracksuit. 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.

“Do the top and bottoms match?”

Check the colour in daylight and the brand line. Sets faded to different shades are common and worth much less.

“What sizes are the two pieces?”

Give both. Buyers frequently need different sizes top and bottom and will not guess.

“Is it genuine?”

Photograph the logos, the neck tag and the wash label. WishThrift does not verify items, so clear label photographs are the evidence.

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 tracksuit 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 £37 sale — roughly the middle of the range for a tracksuit — 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	£37
Poshmark	−£7	£30
eBay	−£5	£32
Mercari	−£4	£33
Etsy	−£2	£35

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. Full breakdown: marketplace selling fees compared.

Timing and getting it to the buyer

Steady with a lift from autumn. Recognised sportswear lines, especially retro ones, sell within days.

Two pieces so heavier than it looks — weigh before quoting postage.

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 tracksuit worth?

Typically £15 to £60, with retro and sought-after sportswear lines above. See the tracksuit value guide.

Should I sell the pieces separately?

A genuine matching set is worth more together than the two pieces apart, so sell it as a set. Only split it if the sizes are mismatched enough that no single buyer wants both.

Do vintage tracksuits sell for more?

Certain retro sportswear lines are actively collected and sell for well above modern equivalents. Photograph the tag so buyers can date it themselves.
