What Are the Most Popular Secondhand Websites for Canadians?

The most popular secondhand websites in Canada are Kijiji and Facebook Marketplace for local pickup of almost anything, Poshmark and thredUP for used clothing shipped to your door, eBay.ca for collectibles and electronics, and VarageSale for buying from verified neighbours. Smaller barter sites such as Swapsity let you trade instead of paying cash. Here is what each one is best for and how to buy safely.

The best secondhand sites in Canada

Kijiji

Kijiji has been Canada's main classifieds site since 2005, with listings for furniture, electronics, baby gear, vehicles, rentals and jobs. Most deals are local: you message the seller, agree on a price and pick up in person, which makes it the best place to haggle on bulky items you would otherwise pay to ship.

Facebook Marketplace

Facebook Marketplace shows listings from people near you, sorted by distance, and lets you message sellers through Messenger. Checking a seller's profile and how long they have been on Facebook is a quick way to avoid fake listings. Save searches you repeat so you see new listings quickly.

VarageSale

VarageSale started in Canada and works like an online garage sale for your neighbourhood. You join a local community, members confirm their identity by connecting a Facebook account, and an admin approves new members, which cuts down on scams. It is strongest for kids' clothes, toys and household items.

Poshmark

Poshmark has a Canadian site for buying and selling new and used clothing, shoes, accessories, beauty products and home goods. Prices are set by sellers, so offers below the asking price are common. Luxury items sold for C$700 or more are checked by Poshmark's Posh Authenticate team before they ship. See DealHack's Poshmark page for current promotions.

thredUP

thredUP is an online consignment store for women's and kids' clothing that ships to Canada as well as the US, according to its help centre. International orders take about 4 to 9 business days, and Canadian buyers pay return shipping themselves, so check measurements before you order. DealHack's thredUP page lists current codes.

Used.ca

Used.ca is an older Canadian classifieds network with city and regional sites. Check that your area has recent listings, and treat it as an extra search after Kijiji and Marketplace.

Swapsity

Swapsity is a Canadian swapping community where members trade goods, skills and services instead of paying cash. It also runs a business-to-business barter service for Canadian entrepreneurs. It suits people with things to trade more than shoppers looking for a specific item.

Bunz

Bunz, the Toronto barter app that started as a Facebook group, announced in June 2026 that it would close on September 1, 2026 unless it reached 1,000 daily active users, according to its owner's statement. Check whether the app is still running before you rely on it.

eBay.ca

eBay.ca is the best of these sites for collectibles, electronics, parts and hard-to-find items, with both auctions and Buy It Now listings. Filter by item location to Canada to avoid cross-border shipping, duties and long delivery times, and check the seller's feedback before you buy. DealHack's eBay page lists current offers.

Tips for buying secondhand in Canada

• Check the price new first. Search the item at a retailer before you make an offer, so you know what a fair used price is.
• Read the listing and photos closely. Ask for the model number, age and any defects before you travel to pick something up.
• Make an offer. On Kijiji, Marketplace and Poshmark, sellers often accept less than the asking price.
• Meet safely. Meet in a public place, bring someone with you for large items, and test electronics before you pay.
• Avoid off-platform payment requests. Sellers who ask for a deposit before you see the item, or push you to pay outside the platform, are a common scam pattern.
