A sustainable way to offload your clothing and make a little money is to sell them online! That way you know they aren’t directly going to a landfill and will be enjoyed by at least one more owner. Here are some tips on how to do so efficiently!
1.) Wash Your Clothes
Once you have selected the clothes that no longer serve you, please wash them before you sell them! Fortunately I have never had to deal with clothes coming to me that have been dirty but I have heard some unfortunate horror stories from some fellow lolitas before. It is always good to make sure your buyer won’t have any weird smells or stains on their clothes
2.) Pick the Right Platform
If you’re into alternative fashion different platforms tend to sell different clothes better than others. If you are a lolita I highly recommend using lacemarket, if you wear gyaru Depop seems to be the best bet. Those are the only styles I really wear so if you want to do any other styles I encourage you to do your research to find where you can sell the easiest and the fastest.
3.) Disclose All Damage
It’s important if your clothing has any stains or tears that you disclose that in your listing. If you are honest and up front with it most of the time you will still find a buyer and keep your reputation intact. Most secondhand websites have a public rating system and it will become more difficult to sell if you have a lower rating.
4.) Post about Your Cleanout on Social Media!
If you have a social media account post about your closet cleanout on social media and include links to your listings! People who follow you will often like your style and it can help get your items into a buyers hands much faster!
5.) Be Kind and Polite in All Communications
Be sure to use your platforms terms of service and common courtesy when interacting on your chosen selling platform. You may receive shipping questions or negotiation questions. It can get repetitive, so it’s important to remember when replying to people that even if it’s the 25th time you have answered a question, it’s most likely the first time that person is asking.
6.) Have Detailed Descriptions
Be sure to include as much information as possible in the descriptions of your items! This will help your buyer make informed decisions on what they want to buy and will help you not have to answer so many DMs and questions.
Thanks for reading and happy selling!
