How do I sell “used shoes and socks”

Hi, I was wondering, seen as we live in a world of OF girls (which I am not going to do) surely it isn’t bad to sell some used shoes and socks, instead, is it?
where would I begin and what sites would I use? Does anyone know, please?

I only actually own about 6 pairs of socks, I don’t have enough to sell!

Yes I was wondering how OP had enough shoes and socks to sell. I wonder if the idea is to go round charity shops and pick up shoes and socks to pass off as her own. But the price charity shops charge now would seriously eat into her profit margins.

Old running shoes / gym shoes would be properly stinky.

I fostered a cat who would always go straight for my gym kit if I’d had a particularly tough workout.

if a fetish was simply ‘used shoes and socks’ any charity shop or used site would fulfil that. I think you are underplaying the sexual side to this, of course items would need a coinciding sexual element. I think you’re either trolling or daft, Why would you ask this on mumsnet?

To sell socks and shoes I have to upload photos of my breast and degrade myself to show myself in underwear? There is a reason I’m wanting to sell shoes and shocks and NOT nude photos, thanks. So it is not the point

There won't be much call for "anonymous socks" they want to see/know the person selling them to imagine who they're wanking over 🤢🤮

As a full time seller on eBay whenever I advertised used bras the pervs cameout. They want long conversations about how you wore them how old you are etc and want pictures of it on, they also want to collect so they get the personal connection. I advertised them at a fiver and had offers of over 50.00.I didn't know at first but the clue for bras being for wank fodder is photographing them straight on so they look like they are being worn. If you lay them flat on the floor or bed you get women who need a bra buying them.

Just how many used shoes and socks do you own?

She’d obviously buy more to wear and then sell them.

OP, if people just wanted to buy 'used shoes and socks' without any additional sexual context or details about the woman who wore them, they'd just go to charity shops.

They're buying these things to wank over. Even if you sell on eBay, they'll expect messaging back and forth and probably photos of you wearing them... and then there's no guarantee they'll actually buy them afterwards.

Most of the so-called 'code words' on eBay have been banned for this reason.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with selling this stuff, in my opinion, but you do need to be aware that it's a sexual service just like any other sexual service. There is no way to provide a sexual service in a non-sexual way.

Don't believe everything you read about OF people making £££££. To make anything even decent, you have to have loads to followers, do something niche and be doing at every minute of the day.

With eBay look up used sock / shoes / slippers sold prices. Filter high to low and just emulate the adverts where people are paying £50 for someone’s worn primark heels/ manky trainers. Tend to come featuring a pair of pedicured feet sliding in.

eBay code word used to be ‘trashed’. I don’t know if it is still a thing but it will be worth a look!

JaneJeffer · 04/09/2026 22:23

Seriously?

XmasCrackPies · 04/09/2026 22:32

Well worn used to be a codeword.

Its not just selling anonymous shoes, socks or underwear unfortunately. At the very least its lots of messages and flirting back and forth, and usually its pictures, videos, custom requests and then speciality stuff like kink, humiliation, etc. If it was that easy almost every women on the planet would be popping her old crocs in a zip lock bag and raking in the ££££

Goodness, every day a learning day.

what a time to be alive

Isn’t there supposedly a whole genre of items on eBay which feature a discrete reflection of the seller in lingerie on an item somewhere in the background? That would be the kind of marketing tactic I’d associate with “well used” shoes as opposed to plain secondhand ones.
