How to Sell Your Clothes, Shoes, and Accessories

Step 3: Anna has great tips for using apps like Mercari. Post the stuff you know will do well first — something that people will be excited to buy because of the brand or the quality of the item. Once you become an esteemed seller and you bring in good reviews, you can start weeding in other pieces, like t-shirts you've never worn that still have tags or denim that you've only worn once before deciding you don't love the fit.

Make sure your photos are well lit and your descriptions include as much information as possible, including the original retail price. You can even offer styling advice for an article of clothing if you think that'd give someone a more compelling reason to buy it.

Finally, make sure you consider the current season. If it's about to be Fall, post outerwear and close-toed shoes that you know people will be searching for. Maybe save the lightweight sundresses for next year, because users will mostly be looking for what they need.
