I’ve sold on eBay before. Had to buy supplies like a electronic scale for weighing items, plastic packaging, tape, sticker sheets for labels, etc. Time is spent trying to get good pictures of the items, measuring them, and filling out each post with details.

Some things sell quickly while other things never sell. If you are doing short term I don’t think it’s worth it unless each item is like around $15 or more imo. Generic brands usually don’t do very well either. Some people like to make them into sets for the price of one. But certain brands sell super quick especially if the items are very fashionable and still in style.

If you are doing long term it helps to post a lot of items, have competing prices with other sellers who have the same items, and to have patience. In fact I think eBay should be seen as a long term thing.

Posh mark is also popular for just clothing. I don’t sell on there but browse a lot.

But consignment stores may be better if you want to rid of them quickly for quick bucks without putting in too much effort.

In my town we have a few stores who focus on buying trendy clothes. I would search for any consignment stores in your area or something like Plato’s closet.

Isn't PoshMark another clothes selling site? I may be wrong but I remember seeing ads for it. Also Facebook Marketplace seems less scammy and safer (personally, to me) than CL because people are normally willing to meet up at police designated purchase zones, and the police normally encourage it.

My boyfriend sells clothes as a second income. It's pretty steady. He uses depop, grailed, OfferUp, and letgo. Even Craigslist and Facebook marketplace sometimes. Hes working on making an Instagram for selling clothes as well. My advice if ur accepting payments through PayPal is make sure the address the customer provided always matches the address linked to the PayPal account they have made the purchase through. If it doesnt, you will lose insurance. There's a lot more rules and stuff you'll get familiar with once u start using the sites. Hope this helps. Good luck, friend!

I only sell stuff that will sell for a decent price. It takes time to photograph, list, and ship everything which just isn't worth it for like a $5 top. I use ebay mostly because I already have years of feedback there and because I don't like the negotiating aspect of poshmark. I still accept offers on ebay but find they are far more fair than the posh ones.

Clothes Mentor, Plato's Closet, local consignment, etc is better for cheaper stuff not worth the effort of listing.

I use poshmark as well, they do take a percentage but it's reasonable honestly. And it's like a feed like facebook. I love it!

I buy/sell on Poshmark and it’s so easy to use!!

I'd try local sites first like Facebook Marketplace, gumtree, olx etc., usually you can sell/buy stuff for decent price :P

Mostly stuff that you don't wear or don't want anymore. If you haven't worn something in a ~year, most likely you won't wear it again honestly

My tip would be, model the clothing, or have someone else model it, that will increase interest..

Also, have you check if there are any local consignment stores that may take your clothes? Sure you'll get less, but you'll also have to do way less work.

Not to be this guy, but you have a 99% chance of failure by selling clothes.

You would probably be better off buying clothes at thrift store and reselling on eBay.

I would recommend selling high priced clothing. Something over $100 a piece. And to do that you just need high quality images/videos and a clean looking website.

Well i am in a third world country and i am willing to import clothes from a first world country that sell them for a low price.(15 -20$, 100% cotton). Soo i am kind of confused...

My advice would be: dont buy items to sell that you have no idea how to actually sell lol

I'm interested in the plaid poncho lol

List it all on fbm

What sizes do you have?

Find a church that takes care of moms and kids, nobody is buying that for anything worth your time. Gain some karma in life instead.

Following thread. Same question. Hopefully someone with experience online selling will share some ideas.

Well, as of now ang free nalang na platforms is FB, IG, thread, X, carousell.. shopee, lazada, tiktok are required and mandatory magkaroon ng business permits and BIR + almost 20% na ang kinukuha nilang taxes.

Try posting sa carousell

Make sure you post on day offs if you work if you have that much stuff. I start at 8am to get the best light but that's cause I have jewelry. Take breaks when posting.

If it’s not name brand or vintage I wouldn’t bother. Clothes are very hard to sell on Mercari. I can’t even give away my lululemon anymore.

You're better off using Facebook marketplace

Hi! My biggest tip would be to include measurements in your listings. For tops: bust and shoulder to hem. For pants: waist, rise, and inseam. I think this has single-handedly helped me make more sales and avoid return attempts due to poor fit. I sell on Mercari, Poshmark, depop, and Curtsey, but depop is where I make the most sales, followed by Poshmark, Mercari, then Curtsey. Beware that depop allows users as young as 13 though, so you’re likely to get lowballs and noncommittal buyers. Good luck!!

Thoroughly read the vinted t&Cs because if a buyer comes up with an issue, vinted will use them to say you caused the issue if they can. E.g. their packaging guidance and refund policies.

Check what you can and cant sell, they'll usually remove banned items first and give you a warning, but you can get banned completely if you repeat. I did this by accident once as I didn't realise I couldn't sell something on vinted.

Update the delivery options in your settings to the ones that are available in your area.

If you are selling clothes, you are meant to show a photo of the tags, and make sure any damage is in the photos. I mean any pulled stitching, holes, bobbling, etc. If you don't disclose in writing or photos then they can get a refund, and sometimes keep the item as well.

I don't usually message the buyer unless they contact me first as the app autoupdates about delivery, etc. Unless I am going to be posting later, I always let them know if I can't post by the end of the following day. Just be friendly, don't have to be formal.

Good luck with selling.

This is a long one but hope it helps:

1. Be mindful of selling high value items to those with no feedback at all, or full of negative ones.

2. Don't reserve items. Lots of joy reservers and time wasters. I can't imagine someone waiting for a paycheck to buy a £5 item. Just don't.

3. If the buyer is being a pain before they buy the item, it's usually a red flag.

4. People will favourite your items and not buy for some reason. You don't have to message them to make an offer, it could be off putting.

5. As others stated, list items above the price you'd want them for. Plenty of low ballers out there. If you don't get any decent offers, lower the price down - this would send notifications to those who favourited your item and you may get a sale.

6. If there are no takers after the discount and being up for a week (or less), relist the item so it doesn't get buried by fresh listings.

7. When you sold something, you have 5 days to send it. You don't have to message the buyer especially if you're shipping the item quickly. I do message if it's going to take me more than 3 days because I feel like it's a long time to wait but it's not really necessary.

8. When the item arrives at a collection point and the buyer hasn't picked it up for days, relax. No need to follow up. Buyers get notified by Vinted via app and email so they know the parcel is ready to collect. Some people are just busy. If it doesn't get collected within the courier's timeframe, the item will be returned to you and the buyer gets a full refund.

9. When the buyer receives the item, they have 48 hours to raise an issue or mark the transaction as complete. This would release the money to you. If they aren't marking it as complete, no need to check with the buyer if everything is okay. It will auto complete after 48 hours.

10. If the buyer has issues with the item they received and it's completely out of your control (ie, it doesn't fit them but you listed the correct size on the tag or they washed the item and it shrunk) you don't have to accept a return. Be careful with scammers too saying they received a wrong item or nothing inside the parcel at all. Don't issue a refund especially if you have proof you sent the correct item.

11. If you receive a negative feedback, whether it's your fault or the buyer is being unfair, respond to the public feedback politely. Always. Future buyers tend to consider how you respond and if you have mostly positive feedback, the unfair feedback gets ignored.

12. Lastly, there are creeps out there too. Buyers asking for photos of you wearing the item especially if you're a woman. Buyers with fetish asking for you to wear the item before sending. There are posts in the sub about them, with comments that are really helpful. Have a look.

That being said, Vinted has plenty of good buyers. I'm a buyer and seller for the last 4 years and have a positive experience overall. Good luck and enjoy selling!

1. i always film myself packaging items!

2. i also agree on avoiding evri like another commenter stated, unless you have your own printer at home.

3. list items for a higher price than what you’d ideally like to sell it for - people will send lowball offers regardless, but this will increase your chances of receiving a reasonable one.

• Avoid selling high ticket items
• Communicate expectation or challenges with customers
• I don't use Evri at all cost

Take photos in the day time preferably by a window so you get natural light. Use a plain background, either hung up or laid flat on a clean white bedsheet. Include photos of the front and back of the clothing item, tags (if BNWT), size label, washing/material label, any distinctive features (eg. special materials, pleats, boning, corset, ruffles) and any flaws (eg. marks, pulls, bobbling, missing buttons). If it’s a unique or expensive piece of clothing, I would also tend to include measurements just because buyers would be more careful about fitting into more expensive items.

Always price your items for more than what you want for it. I hate it but it’s part of Vinted culture. People will make offers for below asking price and if it takes too long to sell, you can also send offers to people who have favourited your items.

If you have a lot to sell, get some polymailer bags to ship your items. They’re not very expensive to buy. I hate it when sellers use bin liners or something really thin and then mummify it in tape. It makes the package really hard to open without potentially damaging the item.

If you don’t have a printer to print labels, you can turn off the print at home postage options.

All the best!!!

I've bought clothes from thrift shops and then sold it on the equivalent of Craig's List or Facebook Marketplace. The key is making sure that your photos are good!

I was at the goodwill outlet store where they sell by the pound. Yesterday, I watched a team of 4 of the diggers meet up with a guy in the parking lot. The guy looked at large piles of neatly folded shirts and selected a decent sized bundle and paid them cash. So these guys are selling to a middleman who then sells them somewhere else. It looks to me that everyone was pretty happy with the deal. So you can always skip the selling online if you can find a middleman. Or you can be the middleman to a bunch of goodwill outlet store diggers so you can skip the hard work of finding the stuff.

According to Captain Malcolm Reynolds, about 50% of the human race are middlemen.

eBay & Mercari

Avoid Poshmakrk

Poshmark, though inflation and crazy shipping costs have basically killed this side hustle.

Given how saturated the online clothing market is, you want to minimize your exposure to online fees. I guess I'd start with Facebook Marketplace or Nextdoor (sell locally for cash).

For Y2K stuff do Depop but for vintage items Poshmark is good people on Poshmark love Vince Camuto, J. Crew, The Gap, Lilly Pulitzer, and Tory Burch. Those are some of the biggest brands right now.

If you use Poshmark, you have to engage daily. If you aren't going to put the work in and commitment, use another platform. As others have suggested, search this sub, or look at YouTube or tiktok, etc. Good luck. I've taken the time to show about half a dozen people how to use PM. Like, hours of my time, helping them list items, etc. Only one is actually doing it, and she's not as engaged as she should be. It's not for the faint hearted.

my opinion after doing it for more than five years is that the money is not worth the time and effort i had to put into it. i ended up liquidating for $3-5 per item and donated the rest.

Search this sub for any of your questions. They have been asked and answered many times before and you will get a wealth of information!

Study each site for yourself. They all have an FAQ section and you get true answers. When I started selling on Poshmark in 2018 I didn’t have a clue but google gives you a lot to study. This is not a rude answer but easier for you and not given 30 different opinions of what sells where for more ect
