19 best online thrift stores in Canada for secondhand shopping

Alright, Canadian thrifters. If you’re looking for the best online thrift stores in Canada to shop from your couch, this list will help you find real secondhand deals.

Shopping secondhand online is just not the same as digging through a chaotic church basement for a $5 wool sweater. The line between thrift, consignment, and vintage resale is already fuzzy in person, and online? It’s a whole grey area. That’s why finding cheap online thrift stores in Canada isn’t always straightforward. Every item needs to be photographed, inventoried, measured, listed, packaged, and shipped. Nobody is doing all that for a 50-cent trinket.

When browsing Canadian thrift websites, you’ll see a wide range from charity-run shops to curated resale platforms. So, my definition of “thrift store” is a little looser when we’re talking online. The qualifications?

  • Secondhand, obviously
  • A bit of a jumble to sort through (the best kind)
  • Decent deals. Maybe not as cheap as your local hospital auxiliary shop, but probably better than true curated vintage shops

Whether you’re hunting for vintage denim, furniture, or kids’ clothes, these second hand online stores in Canada have something for everyone.

P.S. Know of any new places to thrift online in Canada that deserve a spot here? Send them my way!

Poshmark

Poshmark may be an obvious one for avid thrifters but if you are new to online thrifting then you’ve gotta check it out. Anyone can sell on Poshmark so it is a mash up of resellers and individuals just trying to declutter their wardrobe. There are pages and pages of items to sort through but enough filters that you can sift through the chaos with some careful strategy.

Tip: Use my referral code (WEARETHRIFTERS) when signing up to save C$15 on your first order.

Is Poshmark Canadian?

No, Poshmark itself is not Canadian. Poshmark is American. But when you shop on Poshmark in Canada, you are shopping from the closets of Canadians. So while the individual seller is Canadian, Poshmark also benefits from the transaction fees on the purchase.

Starluv

Starluv is a new one to me but I was pleasantly surprised with how many people are using it. Why did no one tell me about this sooner?! It’s basically like Poshmark but just for Canadians. Shipping is all handled through prepaid labels provided by Starluv but you can choose alternative couriers to Canada Post (you know, just in case there’s a strike). And free shipping for orders $25+! Another key difference is that sellers can also offer local pickup and you can search by location if you want to avoid shipping all together.

Visit Website

Is Starluv Canadian?

Yes, Starluv is proudly Canadian and woman-led.

Depop

Depop is another option for online thrift stores in Canada. It’s made up of individual sellers (some reselling as a business) and tends to skew more young and trendy. You can follow sellers and “like” items you’re interested in. It’s a mix of everyday second-hand clothing and cool vintage finds.

Visit Website

Is Depop Canadian?

No, Depop is not Canadian. It is based in the UK. You can however choose to shop only from Canadians through Depop.

Thredup

Thredup is an American company but offers shipping to Canadians. You can find a mix of everyday brands and higher-end pieces. You don’t have to deal with sellers directly, which makes it really simple to shop. Unfortunately as Canadians we don’t get free shipping or returns buuuuut that’s kind of the way thrift stores work anyways.

Tip: You can filter by material! Cashmere, cotton, linen, silk, wool and more!

Visit Website (Disclaimer: includes a referral code that gives you 45% off your first order)

Is Thredup Canadian?

No, Thredup is an American company.

Koop

Koop is a Canadian online thrift store that operates sort of similar to ThredUp. Users can ship in clothes to be resold by Koop. The good news for shoppers is you deal with Koop for shipping and returns (yes, returns!).  The clothing for sale on Koop tends to be more modern brands with less curation. Browsing is simple with filters for size, colour, brand and material.  

Visit website

Is Koop Canadian?

Yes, Koop is a Canadian company.

Etsy 

Etsy is another go to website for online thrift stores in Canada. Though Etsy truly does skew more ‘vintage reseller’ so expect more premium pricing (but with that, more quality assurance and attention to detail).

Tip: Filter for Canadian sellers if you want to keep it local 

Visit Website

Is Etsy Canadian?

No, Etsy is an American company. You can choose to only shop from Canadian sellers but Etsy will still profit off the transaction fees.

P.S. The link above is an affiliate link. If you make a purchase, I may earn a small commission. It’s a win/win/win.

Facebook Marketplace

Does Facebook Marketplace count as a thrift store? Not reaaaaaaally but it’s definitely second hand shopping and absolutely a treasure hunt with potential for big deals! The Facebook Marketplace algorithm is top notch so if you don’t find exactly what you are looking for while searching, you should at least click around on a few relevant listings. You will be rewarded with custom recommendations each time you browse. I know it’s not exactly advisable to ship and request shipping I have shipped with success (vet the sellers and assume the risk). 

I feel silly linking you to Facebook but uhhh, here ya go!

Is Facebook Marketplace Canadian?

Absolutely not. But unless you are literally driving across the border to make purchases, you will likely be shopping from Canadian Sellers.

Ebay

Ebay is the OG website for online thrift stores in Canada. But admittedly I’ve never really gotten the hang of it as a Canadian. Shipping costs always seem absurd (and I’m the kind of person who will absolutely still make an online purchase even if there are surprise shipping costs). Maybe I’m just not using it right?

Visit Website

Is Ebay Canadian?

No, Ebay is not Canadian. You can choose to only shop from Canadian sellers but Ebay will still profit off the transaction fees.

The Real Real

The Real Real is more of a luxury online thrift store. If you are looking for bargains on second hand designer clothes then this is your spot. Designer clothing doesn’t always equal quality so it’s important to be diligent with purchases to make sure you aren’t overspending on a dud (but let’s face it, that happens anyways!). While not based in Canada, it is available for Canadian online thrift shoppers. Not without import duties though so be sure to factor that into the cost when purchasing.

Is The Real Real Canadian?

No, it is not Canadian.

Goodwill

This is basically an online platform for various US based Goodwill locations to post their stuff for sale. It is up to the individual seller whether they will ship their items to Canada. While a lot of the listings are not available to Canadians, you can use the “advanced” search settings to filter by just the items that can be shipped up here.

Is Goodwill?

No, Goodwill is not Canadian. Only some items are available to ship to Canada.

  1. My favourite shop for quality vintage that’s in great shape is Cry Violet on Etsy. I restore do alterations on items for them. Top notch stuff.

    • Hi Marnie – thanks for your comment. Cry Violet looks like such a fun vintage/quality shop on Etsy. And love to hear that you restore/do alternations for vintage! Such an important skill.
