Thrift shop

Online second-hand shops

Online charity and thrift shops are digital marketplaces that host buying and selling of second-hand goods, such as clothing, accessories, or other items. These platforms typically act as intermediaries between independent buyers and sellers by providing spaces for users to upload unwanted items to be sold to other users. Companies such as eBay, ThredUp, Depop, Poshmark, and Vinted are examples of for-profit, exclusively online second-hand shops. Some non-profit brick-and-mortar charity shops host online spaces where users can both buy and donate items. Some examples of these are The Salvation Army and Oxfam. Additionally some thrift shops are run on social media platforms such as Instagram where sellers can post available items on their page and interested buyers may direct message to purchase the items.
