Looking to start listing your own closet? We’ve broken down the best place to re-sell your clothing and accessories online (with the most minimal hassle, and the highest return to your wallet).
1. Poshmark
Perfect For:
Anyone looking for a quick way to sell clothes who doesn’t mind buyers negotiating prices.
Known for being one of the easiest resell apps, you can list an item in less than 60 seconds and connect to a community of clothing interested buyers. Poshmark is much more social than many other selling platforms, so interested gals will “follow” your closet and keep an eye on what you’re posting. Sellers only have to make a minimal effort shipping; your buyer pays shipping costs and Poshmark emails you the prepaid label!
This feature is particularly valuable for a buyer who has found out they have the same size and style that you do because it will encourage them to keep coming back to see what new things you might list. One of the app’s fun features is their “Posh Parties,” which are virtual shopping parties featuring particular designers that buyers are interested in.
2. Fashionphile
Perfect For: If you have a designer piece you no longer use.
Fashionphile is known for being one of the most popular places to buy used designer pieces, and selling pieces through them is a relatively seamless process.
After you snap photos of your piece, you can submit clothing them and receive a quote for what they’ll pay for it. One of the best parts of the process is that it isn’t required to be bought by a buyer before they sell it for you; they’ll pay you immediately after they receive it, and then are responsible for selling it on their site themselves.
3. ThredUp
Perfect For: Your everyday closet cleanout
ThredUp gets you in the consignment game at an accessible price point and with little hassle. While the company typically accepts less than 40 percent of what’s sent to them, their strict quality efforts help ensure only the most marketable products make it to the site. This option is the most like traditional clothing consignment and is best used when you have a high volume of items at various price points and quality levels that you are looking to offload. ThredUp also allows your sale proceeds to get paid out in cash, be used to buy new things on the site, or donate to a favorite cause.
