eBay
A handbag sells every 8 seconds on eBay- so what are you waiting for! We made £58.31 out of a pile of old jeans and a few high street dresses.
What to read next
To sell your item you need good pictures (natural light, blank background) and clear detail in the title (size, material, make and condition).
Setting a reserve limit will stop items going too cheaply but, be aware, it can put some buyers off.
Looking for a quick sale? Simply set a 'buy it now' price. Otherwise, list items for bids for one, three, five, seven or ten days.
Be canny. Sunday evenings are a busy time on eBay, so plan your sale period to finish then and you could be quids in.
Vestiaire Collective
Use it to sell designer wear, high-end vintage, as well as high street favourites such as Zara and Topshop. No fakes accepted - quality control is tight.
Vestiaire handles payment and delivery for you - and take 13% to 33% commission. You can get DHL to pick up items for a fee.
How it works: you set the price; after 24 hours buyers can make you an offer; you then have another 24 hours to accept, decline and maybe reduce your selling price.
Preloved
A cross between eBay and Gumtree, this site is perfect for trades between buyers and sellers in the same area. No postage costs!
Much simpler than eBay - it only took a few clicks to list an item. However, the two designer men's jackets we posted still hadn't sold after a month.
MusicMagpie
Originally just CDs but now MusicMagpie sells other items. Don't expect to make much though: a pile of old jeans we sold on eBay for £42 would only fetch £13.12 here.
Verdict: Use eBay for speedy sales on clothes. Try Vestiaire for higher priced items and on trend fashions.
