Did you get sick? Learn how to sell your used clothes online

You bought that beautiful outfit, that amazing shoe, or that stunning bag, wore it, rocked it and, after a while, you got sick of it. But that doesn’t mean the destination of the pieces needs to be the back of the closet. If they are still new and well maintained (don’t try to get rid of pieces that no one else would use), selling them online can be a good option.

If before there were prejudices and some fear in relation to online shopping, today there are those who prefer to buy over the Internet than going to a store, especially for the convenience and ease. In addition to guaranteeing you extra money, it also frees up space in the closet for new pieces that you are certainly already wanting to buy.

Search for online stores

Before putting the pieces up for sale, it is important to plan and choose well where and how they will be advertised. There are some specific sites for this. Among the international ones, the best known are:

eBay: Because it is older, it is very reliable and has a large number of buyers, which is good, but it can also make your product get lost in the midst of so many other ads. You can control the bid amount or even promote an auction.

Threadflip: It is an app that works similarly to ‘Instagram’. Just take pictures of the clothes with your cell phone and then send them for sale. There is also the website version of the same name.

In Brazil, there are also some websites specialized in selling used parts:

I got bored and I’m selling: After registering, your ad goes through the team’s approval and only then is it released to go live. The posts are always relaxed and humorous and the site receives a commission based on the value of each product sold.

Much by Little: One of the largest and most reputable online thrift stores, it has new and used items, national and imported. It works as a kind of virtual auction. In other words, the highest bidder takes the piece.

Free market: The site works like a Brazilian version of Ebay, it’s easy to use, but it also has great competition among sellers, so it’s essential to create a very informative and reliable ad. In addition to always clarifying the doubts of those interested.

In addition, there are Facebook groups that function as a bazaar for buying, selling and trading. These are a little harder to find though, because they are regional or local. But it is worth searching for them using the term “bazaar + name of your city” in the Facebook search.

Capriche in the ad

  • Separate the pieces that you really don’t want to use anymore – after all, after the sale is made, there’s no point in regretting it.
  • Take pictures of the parts. It can be either you using them, or the loose pieces, on the bed, for example, and always with a neutral background.
  • Simply saying it’s size S, M or L can be too vague and lead to error. So, put not only the size of the pieces, but also the measurement (length and width) in centimeters.
  • Describe in detail the material, the colors, and even if there are any small defects. Do not try to deceive the buyer.

take some care

In order not to have any kind of damage, it is important to pay attention to the forms of payment. It can be in cash, in hand, which is more guaranteed, but also more difficult, as buyers will not always be in the same city as sellers. Bank deposit is another option.

A tip is to look for buying and selling sites that classify users, so you can see comments and opinions from those who have already traded, as well as the evaluation of the business and products. Once the sale or purchase is completed, it is important to leave your evaluation as well.

Exchanging messages by email or even by phone can also help, as it allows questions to be clarified.
