If you have used clothes, fashion is great to sell online. Here are some tip for selling fashion:
Choosing Where to Sell
There are many places where you can choose to sell fashion online. Some sites are aimed specifically for selling fashion while other websites let you sell a variety of items. These are some places to buy or swap fashion online:
ThreadFlip - ThreadFlip makes it easy to sell clothes. You can cashout with PayPal or use your credits to shop.
FashionHaunt - There is no listing cost on FashionHaunt and you can list as many items as you want. Get paid with PayPal.
eBay - eBay is a great place to sell clothes. They have a whole fashion section.
Dresm - Buy and sell new, used or vintage clothing. You can renew items without additional relisting fees.
Refashioner - Refashioner is focused mostly on designer clothing. You receive a prepaid label and ship using a USPS box.
Copious - Copious used to have a full website, but now it's just a phone app that makes it easy to give things you no longer want to friends.
Poshmark - Shop the closets of people and sell your own clothes. You can connect easily with Facebook.
Material Wrld - Material Wrld is a luxury fashion resale community. It is focused mostly on higher priced items.
Craigslist - I haven't had a whole lot of luck selling clothes on Craigslist, but some people do. You can sell clothes in bulk or individually locally.

Photography and Description
When you take photos and write descriptions of your items, make sure to include details and make it clear what the item is. Describe the condition of the item well and reveal imperfections. Writing all imperfections if the item is used will help you be an honest seller and will make it less likely that there are problems.
For photos, take photos from different angles and have one photo from far away, one close up, one detail, one back and on front photo. Having a mannequin can help make your photos look more professional. You can find cheap plastic mannequins on eBay.
Have basic information on your garment such as brand/designer, size, color, condition, washing instructions, fabric content and any other information that might be helpful. Also include detailed measurements of your item.
Measurements
There can be a difference in sizing between different designers and manufacturers so having exact measurements is important. These are some basics to measure include:
Bust/Chest - Hold the garment at the underarms seams and measure across the chest. Double measurement.
Waist - The waist is measured across the waistline, the very top of pants or the narrowest part of dresses.
Hips - Hips are about 5 inches below the waist line for pants. Double measurement.
Length - The length is the top to bottom ofthe garment.
Inseam - For pants, the inseam is measured from the seam where the legs meet the crotch to the bottom fot he leg hem.
Rise - For pants, the inseam is measured from the crotch up the front to the waistline.
These measurements are sometimes helpful:
Sleeve length
Shoulder width
Neck width
Arm opening width
Thigh width
Cuff width
Hem width
For garments that have some give or stretch to them, be sure to note whether your measurements are stretched or unstretched.
Shipping and Other Tips
Wash clothes before sending them out if they are used. You should also iron them so they look in the best condition.
Decide on the best way to ship an item. Depending on what you sell, you might be able to ship an item first class which is an affordable way to ship. I sell scarves and I am able to fit them in a bubble mailer and ship them USPS First Class. If you're not sure what shipping service to use, check the USPS or FedEx websites and be sure to weigh your items.
On whatever site you use, be sure to leave feedback and encourage your buyer to leave feedback too. If an item or designer sells well, see if you can sell that item or a type of that item again. Sell clothes for your friends and family. If you don't want to just sell used clothes, consider buying wholesale on a site like Liquidation.com.
