Sellers may post for sale any women’s clothing and accessories which are gently used, relatively new or in excellent condition.
There are three main factors that can help your items sell faster: detailed descriptions, great quality photos and attractive pricing.
Item descriptions should be as detailed as possible. They must include: color, sizing information, condition and any flaws or defects, if applicable. We also recommend that you include the brand, the type of material, the original retail price and your reason for selling. Your customers will be grateful for all the details and will feel more comfortable buying items from you.
We recommend that the featured (main) photo be a product photo from the retailer’s website. Additional photos must include your own photos of the item’s current condition and any flaws, if applicable. Take your photos with plenty natural lighting and plain backgrounds.
*It helps to include a photo of the item on a person, whether it is from the retailer website or from the seller modeling it.
Set a price that would seem attractive to you if you were the customer. If the item is not sold after 1-2 weeks, try setting a sale price to entice customers. Who doesn’t love sales?!
