For a few months, Ive been obsessed withselling my accessories and clothes on these apps.
Its a big part of the overall decluttering journey Ive been on for the past year.
Heres what Ive learned about the best apps and approaches.
You dont have to be like that.
Everything I sell is something I wore and enjoyed.
On the other hand, dont list something if youreallywant it out of the house.
If this impedes your decluttering, the apps might not be for you.
They can send it back, and this can have an impact on your seller rating.
Take a lot of pictures.
Tags, defining features, and details are important to include.
Be open to offers and respond to inquiries.
Always search for the item youre selling to see what other people are selling theirs for.
If you list the same thing on multiple apps, stay on top of what you’re doing.
I lost out on good money!
Plus, if something sells on one app, you better immediately remove its listing everywhere else.
I recommend Poshmark, Vestiaire Collective, TheRealReal, and Depop.
To me, these four have the best interfaces and are easiest to use for buying and selling.
Lets go over their details.
For anything under $15, you pay the app a fee of $2.95.
Like I said, you’re able to put anything on here.
you could sell a Louis Vuitton bag or a Nike T-shirt.
Some people sell housewares and handicrafts.
In my experience, selling higher-end items on Poshmark is hit or miss.
Yes, I’ve done it, but people on there are shopping for all kinds of things.
I mostly buy baseball jerseys there and save my own luxury resale browsing for other apps.
Where this one shines is its authentication process.
You dont get charged on your first one, either, as long as its below $2,000.
Still, it’s worth it for the low fees and high yield.
I use this app almost exclusively as a buyer, not a seller.
It can be fancy, it can be basic, it can be handmadeyou can sell whatever.
You dont pay a listing fee, but you pay a 10% fee for everything you sell.
I think of it more like a thrift store than anything.
Also prominent are truly basic things, like Forever 21 tops.
Someone out there may want them, so try listing them on Depop before donating or tossing them.
Set a hard deadline for yourself, though.
If it doesn’t sell in, say, two weeks, get rid of it another way.
Again, selling is awesome, but not if it stops you from effectively decluttering.
I see listings all the time while I’m browsing used furniture and knickknacks.
Namely, it’s possible for you to sell “bundles.”
I see it constantly: “Bundle of 20 Forever 21 tank tops.”
“Bundle of 10 bikinis.”
It’s an effective way to clear out clutter and get quick cash in hand.
