We’ll show you step by step how to turn your old clothes into cash, what tricks you can use to get more clicks and how to rate users.

How do I take advantageous photos?

You can start directly as soon as you have registered. To sell your clothes, we start with the photos. To earn your first money, you need to take pictures of your items. The best way to do this is by taking pictures of yourself wearing the item and creating an outfit around it. Of course, only if the article still fits. Good lighting for the photos is also important so that the buyer can see the garment as realistically as possible. Once the photos are taken, you can upload your item directly.

• Wear photos (create outfit)
• Good light
• Add detailed photos

Upload your first article!

To maximize your chances of selling, you need to pay attention to details. An accurate description of the item is very important. Always describe your items accurately to avoid misunderstandings and to highlight special features. To give your customers an even better orientation, you can measure the garment and indicate your body and clothing size. Hashtags give you a wider reach, so always include them when they match the item. Never set your prices too high and look for similar items in the same condition online.

• Enter your body and clothing size
• Measure exact dimensions
• Highlight damage or special features
• Use hashtags

If you want to sell your item even faster, you can push your item for a small fee. To do so, click on the button “Push Article”.

Ebay Classifieds: Fashion, Insider Tips, Buy & Sell

The eBay Classifieds app is becoming more and more popular. This is due on the one hand to the simple and straightforward operation, but above all to the reach of over 30 million users throughout Germany. This makes eBay Kleinanzeigen one of the most popular apps in Germany. The gigantic online flea market, as eBay Kleinanzeigen calls itself, is basically designed in a rather old-fashioned way and differs significantly from the usual second-hand shopping on the Internet. The visual design of the app is very simple and the app is very easy to use both mobile and desktop. The individual categories and filters can be selected. You can also set the radius yourself if you want to pick up the items yourself.
