All retailers or sellers seek to reach out to a larger customer-base. In today?s modern world, it is easier to rope in more customers through the World Wide Web. Selling goods online is an ideal way to begin a business, owing to its worldwide reach. If you start selling merchandise in a particular locality, it would become next to possible to serve customers across other cities, let alone the chances of catering to potential customers in other states. However, things are extremely different in case of online stores, because you can potentially reach out to trillions of customers, without any restrictions on geographic location.

How to Sell Unused Clothes

Selling your unused clothes online can be a delightful way of making extra money. Irrespective of whether you own an established brand or you are a new designer, selling new clothes online will assist your brand to reach out to more people. Here are few useful tips to sell your unused clothes online.

The most important thing to be sure of when you are selling unused clothes online is to ensure that the fabric still has the tag on, as this would be the greatest proof that you have not used the clothes at all.

Unused Clothes

Since shopping online is not like shopping in a brick-and-mortar shop, where customers can try a garment and check the fabric, it is important to list the details. As for the ideal ecommerce stores for trading unused clothes, marketplaces like eBay are certainly the best bets. When you trade on such sites, it is important that you provide comprehensive details of every garment you are about to sell and also display a few well-lit photographs to go with.

List out the colour, cut, size, and all the other details; give details as to how liberally-cut the garments are. List other significant details like brand name and which season?s collection it belongs to (ex: Spring/Summer 2012 or Fall/Winter 2012). The descriptions have to be clear and catchy to be able to attract lots of potential buyers.

Taking Catchy Photos

When taking photographs, it is advised to capture these clothes by hanging them up against a light-coloured or white background. An even better choice would be to pose the dresses on a mannequin as this can give a better feel of how the garment might cover and flow on the body.

Ensure that you work out on the proper postage costs. If you underestimate the amount to ship the garment, it could cut down your actual profit. So, be realistic, and work out your profit margins after factoring the shipping costs into the budget. When you are trading on sites like eBay, be wary of the fact that few goods will have more interest when compared to others. If one garment could not be sold, it does not mean it will not be sold again sometime later.

Fix the Refund Policy in Advance

Be clear whether you are ready to accept returns or not. Few sellers may accept 100% return, while the others may not. The decision may be quite tricky with clothes, particularly when you are purchasing them from an online store instead of a local store, so most of the customers would expect a refund option.
