How to (Strategically) Sell Clothes + Make $$$ | Depop, Poshmark, Ebay, Resale Shops, Etc! 

Depop is so easy and simple to use. I just made one last week and I’ve already sold 6 items and made around £80. The stressful part is finding equipment to package my items 😭

I have 7 trash bags full of....SHIRTS...that aren't useful, so I keep them until the end of every april and may because they're garage sales, and I sell my things for ¢50 and if they're like a pretty good expensive brand like nike- american eagle- old navy or something like that. I sell them for 70% less than what the original price was when I bought them, then by the end of the garage sales I put the really old things in a big box for free and sometime give my -nicer older clothes to a girl in my class who really poor... IT ACTUALLY MAKES A DECENT AMOUNT OF MONEY!

Plato's Closet is unreal with their lowballing amounts that they are willing to give you for your nicer items too... blows my mind what they will give you - almost insulting.

I'd sure love to see you do a video that explains everything from start to finish. (How do you decide the price you charge for each item, how do you keep track of everything, do you package everything at home and take it to the shipper each day or something different, how do you decide how much to keep as your profit vs. money you save back to then put back into buying more clothes and shoes to "flip" or "turn around".) I'd really love to see a video that goes over the business side of it all - IN DETAIL.

No one ever talks about how to advertise clothes you can’t fit or if you don’t want to be photographed at all.

Here selling my clothes during quarantine because I gained 30 pounds🥲😭

LOL within seconds I thought she's in NY with those sounds

The main issue I encounter is that it just takes so freakin' long to actually list an item of clothing (taking multiple pictures and selecting the best 10-12, uploading those pictures to Dropbox, saving those pictures to my computer, and then uploading those pictures onto the website, not to mention taking measurements and entering the brand, materials, features, etc., and then deciding pricing, and finally eventually shipping), and it just isn't worth the time for low-dollar items that could only fetch a couple bucks to begin with. It's worth it for expensive items, but for cheap items, the ROI just isn't worth it (especially if you're doing well financially and your time has a high opportunity cost). Even if the shirt is great, if the buyer already has to pay shipping, the total price they're willing to pay could mean you're only able to sell the item for a few bucks, and that's after upwards of an hour's worth of work spent taking pictures, creating the listing, and shipping the item out (an hour might sound long, but that's about how long it took for me to create a high-quality listing for a leather jacket today). I could just donate all my clothing, but then I feel like I'm just throwing hundreds of dollars away, and I'm selfish enough to rather just keep the clothes unused in my closet than donate them at that big of a loss (massive poverty complex from my childhood). I wish I could give them away to friends and family, but that's just not an option. So I'm stuck with a couple hundred dollars' worth of clothing that would take dozens of hours to list and ship (basically netting me minimum wage, which is not a productive use of my time). It's definitely a privilege to have this sort of problem, but for a relatively high-income frugal semi-hoarder, it's a frustrating one. I feel like I'm stuck with this clothing that I have no reason to keep but also no sufficiently compelling incentive to get rid of...aside from the fact that it's taking up valuable and increasingly scarce space in my house.

I fell in love when you did a breakdown of the video at the beginning. Ahh the organization 🦀🦀❤️❤️❤️

here during quarantine to sell my clothes

First time to your channel. You provided an organized & great overview on selling, platforms & how-to's. I subbed and liked & will definitely recommend to my friends!

What’s the best place to make sales? I want an app or website that actually have people who buy clothes I don’t wanna be dormant

I've watched so many of these but your video is by far the most thorough. You cleared up a lot of my confusion on the various platforms. 😊

starting watching your videos with your apartment tour because I'm moving into a studio apartment... now I'm watching your closet cleaning videos to procrastinate cleaning my own closet before I move into said studio 😆

Thredup is awful. They take your stuff. Charge you to go through it and then charge you to return the items they isn’t want otherwise they keep them and try to sell them .. for themselves if you don’t pay for them to be returned. I’ve literally gotten .38 for a silk dress by a well known designer. It’s a total wracket. I’d def stay away from thredup. You basically are giving them clothes to sell for themselves and you end up with Pennie’s or have to pay a bill to them for sorting your stuff

i thrift a lot of my clothes new with tags but end up taking the tag off thinking i’ll keep it but then never wear, is it okay to still sell this as new never worn?

WOW WELL DONE VIDEO!!!! love, love love your information and really appreciate all the work you put into this video.

mercari is also really good for reselling!

Thanks for the tips! So helpful! I’m excited to start selling my clothes now 😊 One question I had hoped you would explore is when to decide if you’d like to label an item as “free” shipping or charge for shipping? Do you have a preference or notice a trend in the marketplace in terms of shipping?

This was super informative!

Hi Carrie, this video came so in handy. At the beginning of August I did a good decluter on my wardrobe and I would love to sell some never worn pieces. Thanks for sharing your tips! Now I need to sort out how I'm going to sell them because in Portugal it's a bit different. Thank you and have a good weekend! 😊😙

Thanks for the info. I'm not necessarily planning to sell any of my clothes, but do plan on selling the stock full of my momma's and sisters old clothes. Figured instead of dropping it all off at Goodwill I might as well make a profit out of it and pitch my 2¢ in to help them get they $ back and get a cut myself. Anyways, thanks again for the informative video and you just got yourself a new subscriber 😉👍.

When you “pay with depop” and then click “buyer pays for shipping” does the price you later write out include the shipping for them or no?

Thank you for having this video for EVERYONE and stating it

Buy from Thredup! I've had so much success purchasing, I bought 6 things i remember coming through Anthropologie while I worked there, and it was so fun to finally own them, although a few seasons later :) i have never sold with them thought.

Loooove how organized the video is! Thank you!

Hey, really appreciate this. To the point and cover most topics.. thank you!

Just wanted to say if your shit is beat up and no one would wear it, don't donate it either! Trash it and save the people that have to sift through donations some time.

5 seconds in and I'm a follower. You have a softer voice and not loud and well obnoxious like most youtubers. Stay classy. Bc other youtuber try to hard in my opinion.

All of the stuff I want to sell is from 2000 😤 it’s all gonna be hard to sell

I love how you just get to the point lol

I love the way you edit, keep up the good work!!

Hi can you tell me where are the good apps to sell new (with tags) clothes for women and how much do they charge? Thank you Nice video

i was wondering is depop a good place to sell trifted vintage ceramics (like cups, vases etc.) or would you recommend a different place? *gorgeous editing* on this, by the way

FYI donating clothing often just makes money for the place you donate them too. Most thrift shops are for profit, even the ones that are “charity” poor people still have to buy those items from them often even for more then it’s worth!

Do you think it’s smart for me to place my items on multiple apps?

Super detailed video! Thank you! I think I'm going to go with FB Marketplace because a lot of my clothes aren't "luxurious" haha.

Detailed and straight to the point love it ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

This was super helpful! Thank you so much :)

3 years later and these are still gems 💎

Love the editing on this video so much! Very useful tips, thank you! 🌟

Her voice is so calming

me and my mom have no clue to selling clothes. but she has tons and tons of clothes that she has kept in great condition so i started researching on how to sell clothes online. thanks for puttin this up :)

Crossroads only took what they wanted... wasn't impressed

I love your chill tone and this video has a ton of information!

Nice job. Good tips. However, I know you talked about the actual ads...and pics...like lighting and quality and things like that but I do have a question. I watched just one other video from a girl that sold her unwanted clothing. She modeled the clothes and used a tripod with the self-photo feature. The things I want to sell no longer fit me so that isn't an option in my case. So what do you recommend I do?

what does direct deposit mean? is that payment through a debit card?

I'm going to get into selling 💯❣️👛🛍️📸

CrossRoad’s trade in is the clothing version of GameStop

Your voice is so soothing

What font did you use & did you download it from a font website or pay for it?

You’re lovely to listen to 🥰 and you’ve got great info!

Man frick this MY DUMBASS DIDINT VERIFY MY SHITTY PAYPAL AND I DIDINT EARN ANYTHING I deserved it 🚶🏻‍♀️🚶🏻‍♀️

great info. This vid is what I found when looking for Depop which is new to me.

i saw ur thumbnails and knew I had to subscribe...

Need a place to sell vintage

What if you intend on reselling replicas of luxury brands, with those replicas being made of high quality materials also? Where could I sell them and the pricing?

hello i am from saudi arabia i want to sell my clothes do you think i can do this thing while i am not in america?? and what you suggect .in ksa people do not my used clothes

And try using natural lighting for the photos!! Really makes me more trusting when it comes to colors 🌈🌈

i made an insta account & depop for selling cute stuff i dont wear anymore to see how it went. depop.com/jaderiv just started so no traffic yet but we'll see !

What if you can't fit the clothes? They wouldn't be able to see how the items would fit?

great video !

I’m going to start out selling online that’s for the information.Your video was help full .

I don't know where can I find the place of selling used clothes in america lol . Can s.o tell me please ?

They also have a Crossroads in Sacramento.

thank you soooo much for this vid!! i just subbed :) btw my depop is @strawwberri :)

Thanks for the info. Short, sweet and informative.

Please DO NOT donate garbage, we have to sort so many containers of stuff and the more garbage we get the less we can put out. And its just wasting our time as employees. RECYCLING IS BEST ♻️

You are very informative and I enjoyed your presentation! Thank you!

Jesus... Ur voice is so euphoric and soothing lol

Depops reviews are really bad at the moment

Awesome tutorial! Thank you very much. your description helped me to save a lot of time researching these sites.

I'm here to learn how to sell and what's the best site.

i bought designer clothes and later realized i hate them i payed 1700 euro😭 and i cant sell them i hate my life 😟

This video was great! Very informative - thank you :)

My depop is angexyc ❤️❤️❤️

Poshmark also has a check option as well. But direct deposit has worked well for me. Sometimes it will take like 3 days to hit your account.

New sub...👍👜🛍️👜📸👜👜👜👜🔔🤩

I tried crossroads but had a hard start with them. Won't use them. I sell on eBay

That was so, so helpful! Thank you!

You are talking too fast!

Really good video! I’m much more informed on what to do!

This is great. Do you dry clean them before you sell

thank you!

This was such a good video. Thx for the info! :)

I wish I could use depop ( sorry for spelling I have no idea how you spell it ) it’s not available in my region :( But really Awesome video really helpful

I’ve been wanting to be more serious on my resell!! it’s @ttimelessapparel 🥰

I wanna try designing clothes and shoes but I don't know how I should sell them. Should i purchase different sizes then customize them or buy them in my size them customize them and sell them in that size? Thanks :)

New subscriber

If you know what brand it's from, should you put that on the listing?
