Tips for Selling Second-Hand Clothes Online

Many of us have a pile of clothes waiting to be donated, but there's also that other pile – the one we no longer wear but think is good enough to sell. If you've been wanting to sell your clothes online but haven't gotten started, these tips from experienced sellers might be just the encouragement you need.

Use good lighting, preferably natural light, to take photos of your clothes.

Iron or steam the clothes before photographing them.

Include multiple angles and details like buttons, patterns, and tags.

Consider including pictures of yourself wearing the piece to give buyers a better idea of the fit.

Write detailed descriptions that include the size (both the tag size and how it fits in real life), measurements, material, and condition.

Research similar listings to set a fair price.

Respond to inquiries promptly.

Package your items nicely.

Consider using platforms like Depop, The RealReal, or Poshmark, which are specifically designed for selling clothes.

If you're selling plus-size clothing, The Fat Section is a great option.

For higher-end brands, try joining buy/sell/swap Facebook groups for that specific brand.

Be transparent about why you're selling the item.

Include some styling photos to show how the item can be worn.

Consider selling your son's old clothes in bundles by size and season for a quick and easy sale.

Be patient, some items may take longer to sell than others.

Be clear about your return and refund policies.

Selling second-hand clothes can be a great way to make some extra money and declutter your closet.
