Depop
Depop is an app that is specifically designed for buying and selling fashion . Here you can find the latest trends in outfits from the main influencers, and how to get them using only second-hand clothes.
You can also follow other users as if it were a social network. And this way you will be among the first to find out when a new item of clothing is on sale and you will have more chances of being the first to get it. Both its design and its operation are especially designed for young people , but of course it is open to people of all ages.

VarageSale
This app is one of the most similar to Wallapop itself. But it has one difference that may be interesting, and that is that customers connect through Facebook , so that you can more easily access their real names and photos. This, together with the existence of reviews about the sellers, can help us to be more confident regarding possible scams .
This application places special emphasis on security , so you will have full support in case you encounter any problems.

OfferUp
This app allows you to post your ads with the products you want to sell in just 30 seconds . And then you can find buyers who are near you so you can meet up and make the transaction directly.
This app is primarily designed for local commerce , so it does not have its own shipping system as we can find on Wallapop, although you can always agree with another user to send them the items. To be sure that the seller is reliable you can look at their profile , where you will find all the information you need.

Vinted
One of the best apps for buying and selling second-hand products , which this time is focused on fashion .
But although most users who register on this app do so to sell clothes, the reality is that we can also find other products on it such as decorative items, books or toys for children. And it has its own shipping system so that we can buy and sell our products in a completely safe way.

This app is responsible for selling refurbished technology items , in perfect condition after having been supervised by experts. And if you want to sell your old mobile, it has a Renove plan with which you will get some money for your old smartphone.

eBay
eBay was one of the pioneering applications in second-hand buying and selling , becoming popular several years before Wallapop appeared.
And although there are now many more alternatives on the market, it is still one of the most widely used worldwide. On it we can find all kinds of products , from fashion and footwear to children’s toys or second-hand smartphones. And in the case that what we need is not to buy but to sell, as it is an application with thousands of users around the world it is very likely that we will easily find someone who needs that product we were interested in.

Poshmark
This app is especially designed for branded clothing and for events . And although sometimes you can find new clothes in this app, there are also second-hand products . Therefore, if you are looking for a branded item but you don’t want to or can’t spend what it costs, you can always try to find it used at a cheaper price.
And of course, you can also use it to sell that wedding dress that you have never worn again and that someone else could give a new life to.

You can find all kinds of items on it, although the reality is that the most popular are fashion and footwear . And you won’t need to pay the other person directly, but the platform acts as an intermediary , so you can be sure that the transaction is carried out in complete safety, avoiding the usual scams of this type of app.
