Updated September 2026. This article was first published in 2017. Shpock’s features and fees have changed, so check its current help pages before listing.

Shpock is a marketplace app for buying and selling second-hand goods. It can be useful for local collection and for testing demand for individual items. If you are reselling stock, think about the total cost and the time needed to photograph, list and fulfil each item.

How to sell on Shpock

1. Check the item is allowed. Read Shpock’s current help and prohibited-items guidance, especially for branded goods.
2. Photograph the actual item. Show its condition and any faults clearly. A clear title should identify the product, brand, size and key features where relevant.
3. Set a realistic price. Compare similar current listings and allow for any transaction fees, delivery costs and the time involved.
4. Agree the details before completing a sale. Confirm collection or delivery, payment method and who pays shipping. Keep messages and proof of posting or collection.
5. Use the platform’s safety guidance. Be wary of links or requests to move payment away from the agreed method.

Is it free to sell on Shpock?

Do not assume every sale is fee-free. Shpock’s published fee structure says sellers using PayPal may pay a Shpock transaction fee as well as PayPal fees. Promotion or membership options can add costs. Check the latest terms for the payment method you plan to use before setting your price.

Is Shpock suitable for wholesale stock?

It is often more practical for selected individual items than a large mixed lot. Before buying stock for resale, calculate the cost per saleable unit, likely selling price, packaging, fees and your time. For small quantities or a first test, see our current one-off wholesale job lots. The stock on that page changes, so inspect each lot’s description and condition before ordering.
