Yaga vs Kloset Klub: fees, rules and offers for SA sellers

Yaga vs Kloset Klub at a glance

Yaga and Kloset Klub are both South African second-hand marketplaces with protected checkout, and both deliver nationwide. The difference is what they let in. Yaga is a broad marketplace with no seller fees and no minimum price. Kloset Klub is a curated fashion marketplace with a 5% fee, an R400 minimum and a list of banned brands.

So the useful question is less “which is better” and more “which of my items belong where”. A R120 Cotton On top can only go on Yaga. A R1,500 pair of sneakers can go on either, and often should.

Yaga started in Estonia in 2017 and runs in South Africa through Shop Yaga (Pty) Ltd (Yaga press page). Across all its markets it reports 2 million+ users and 12 million+ monthly visits. Kloset Klub grew out of WISI-Oi, which started in 2021, and took the Kloset Klub name in October 2025 (Kloset Klub).

Fees: what each one costs you

Yaga charges sellers nothing. There is no listing fee, subscription or commission, and moving money from your Yaga wallet to your bank is free (Yaga Fees Guide). Yaga earns from a buyer protection fee, which it describes as “typically around 5%” of the order value, delivery included, plus a fixed amount. It varies by order value and category, and Yaga does not publish a rand figure.

Kloset Klub charges a 5% success fee on each sale and nothing to list. TradeSafe, which holds the money, charges R5 excl. VAT each time you withdraw to your bank. The buyer pays a separate fee of 6.5% + R15, capped at R150 an order (Kloset Klub checkout fees).

Worked example: a R600 jacket

• On Yaga: R600 reaches your wallet and the payout to your bank is free. You keep R600.
• On Kloset Klub: the 5% fee is R30, so R570 reaches your wallet. Withdraw it on its own and the R5 fee plus VAT leaves you about R564. The buyer pays R54 protection on top of the R600 and delivery.

The gap grows with price. On a R2,000 item Kloset Klub’s commission is R100, while the buyer’s fee there stops growing once it hits R150. If you price on Kloset Klub to cover the 5%, a R2,000 item listed on Yaga would need to be about R2,105 on Kloset Klub to leave you the same.

What you can sell on each

This is where most sellers find their answer. Kloset Klub accepts only clothing, footwear, bags and fashion accessories. It does not take children’s clothing, make-up, electronics or home goods, and every listing must be at least R400 (Kloset Klub seller terms).

Kloset Klub also bans fast-fashion brands. The list includes Shein, Temu, Wish, Mr Price (with Oakridge, Red and Project), Jet, Legit, Ackermans, Pep and Pick n Pay Clothing. Its help centre adds Miladys, Donna and Chinatown imports. Luxury pieces may need a receipt.

Yaga takes women’s, men’s and kids’ clothing and shoes, plus home and kitchen items, furniture, books, toys and electronics (Yaga help centre). It bans no clothing brands. Photos must be real: Yaga’s terms forbid AI-generated listing images.

Listing, offers and how buyers find you

Both work in the app or a browser, with photos, a description, size, brand and condition. On Yaga you can add up to 6 photos. Kloset Klub lets you add photos or a short video, and has a Generate button that drafts the description for you. Its terms make you responsible for checking that text before you publish.

Offers are the biggest day-to-day difference. Yaga buyers can make an offer of at least 70% of your price, and you can send your own offer to anyone who liked an item (Yaga: offers to likers). An accepted offer does not reserve the item, and an active discount code can stack on top of it. Kloset Klub has no offers. Buyers tap Buy Now or ask a question in the listing’s chat.

Neither sells paid boosts. Yaga ranks by relevance and how recent a listing is, and picks some featured shops itself. Kloset Klub says your reviews affect how often your listings appear, and it reshares posts that tag @klosetklub_za.

If your wardrobe is too big to list yourself, Kloset Klub runs a managed service called Kloset Cleanout. It lists and sells for you and pays you 55% of each sale. It wants pieces worth R800+ on resale, ideally 40 or more, and serves Johannesburg, Pretoria and Cape Town.

Delivery

On both, the buyer pays delivery at checkout. Yaga gives the buyer a choice of couriers. Kloset Klub sends every order through Pudo lockers, run by The Courier Guy, and delivers across South Africa in 1 to 4 business days (Kloset Klub delivery).

Two Yaga details catch people out. With Aramex or PostNet you pay the courier upfront and get it back when the order completes, and the courier can cost more than the buyer paid. A Courier Guy drop-off code lasts 5 days, and Yaga gives no refund if it expires (Yaga: how delivery works).

Getting paid and returns

Kloset Klub money arrives a few days later than Yaga’s, because the return window runs before the sale closes. On Yaga you can raise a dispute up to 21 days after the order (Yaga returns; Kloset Klub returns).

Order rules to know before you sell on both

Selling the same item in two places is allowed on both. What each punishes is a sale you cannot honour.

• Kloset Klub: you must accept or decline each order within 2 days, and no answer counts as a cancellation. Once you accept, you cannot cancel. Decline more than five orders and the ban is permanent (seller terms).
• Yaga: you can cancel an order, and the buyer gets an instant refund. Yaga may charge you a fee if you cancel because the item already sold elsewhere (Yaga: cancelling an order).
• Both: deals off the platform are banned. Yaga’s terms also bar naming or linking to your shop on another platform, so leave “also on Kloset Klub” out of your Yaga listings.

The practical rule: when an item sells on one, take it off the other straight away. That matters most for Kloset Klub, where every declined order counts towards a lifetime ban.

Which one should you choose?

If most of your stock is above R400 and on neither banned list, there is little reason to pick one. List it on both and let whichever buyer turns up first have it.

Sell on Yaga and Kloset Klub with FLUF Connect

Listing on both by hand means typing every item twice and racing to remove it from one when it sells on the other. FLUF Connect is a crosslisting tool that does both. You connect each marketplace by signing in to it once, in your browser or the FLUF mobile app. No browser extension is needed day to day.

When an item sells on Yaga, FLUF Connect takes it off Kloset Klub, and the other way round. That is what keeps you clear of the Kloset Klub decline count and Yaga’s cancellation fee. It cannot help with a buyer who checks out on both before the first sale comes through, so keep an eye on one-off pieces.

Yaga

On Yaga, FLUF Connect can answer buyer offers for you, accepting or countering against a minimum you set, and send a message you write to people who like an item. Edits you make in FLUF Connect to description, price, category, condition, brand, size and colours update the live Yaga listing.

Kloset Klub

On Kloset Klub, edits to title, description, price, condition, brand and colours update the live listing. Deleting an item in FLUF Connect closes it on Kloset Klub. Kloset Klub has no offers, so there is nothing to automate there. Items under R400 or from a banned brand still belong on Yaga only.

Step by step for each route: crosslist from Yaga to Kloset Klub. See how inventory sync works, or how offer management handles Yaga offers.
