Okay, BAUCES. Here are some things to remember:

Use great images

Think about when you are shopping online for clothing — what is the first thing you notice? If you have a great item but the photos are not clear people won’t pay attention. Be creative as possible when posting images, use great props and bold colors to make your clothing stand out.

Label correctly

Always remember to label the color, size, and brand correctly. This will help minimize the amount of customer returns. Look at online shops that your purchase from to see why an item was reviewed poorly and make sure you don’t make those same mistakes.

Be honest in descriptions

If you are selling an item of clothing and it’s gently worn or have a small stain, be sure to state it. Describing a gently worn item as new is dishonest and it will only result in the customer returning the item.

Price appropriately

When selling an item that you can price yourself, make sure you do your research and know what the item is currently worth. You may have purchased a shirt at $200 two years ago but the value may have increased or decreased over time. If you really want to boost your efforts consider cross-selling your clothing on multiple platforms to increase your marketing potential and buying opportunities. For example, you could try this cross listing app to post on Poshmark and Mercari to get your clothing seen by more people.

Selling clothing that you already own is a great way to make extra money. Go through your closet and see what items you could potentially earn some extra cash from.
