Many people have clothes, furnishings and gadgets at home that are not used. Then it might be a good idea to sell the things on so they can get new ones and you get extra bang for your buck.
Shopping second hand has become increasingly popular and the market is predicted to grow three times as much as the traditional fashion market in the next five years, according to Thedup’s Resale Report from 2023.
Today, there are many different ways to sell your things, from Blocket and Marketplace to Vinted and Sellpy.
But how do you succeed in selling used goods online?
Check the price
Before creating an ad, it is important to choose the right page and forum for where the ad should be, reports P4 Kalmar. The website or app you should use may differ depending on whether you are selling, for example, a car or a shirt.
Another thing that is important to check before creating the ad is the value of the product that you intend to sell. You can do this by checking final prices for the product on various sites.

The most important step
Then comes the most important step – the pictures, reports the radio channel.
When you want to take a good picture for your ad, make sure that the picture looks nice and that nothing disturbs the background. The image can be even better if you place the product in a nice environment.
Ultimately, the image may be what makes the potential customer click on the ad or scroll on.
Last but not least
The last step for a successful ad is to write a text for the image. There you can describe the item’s condition and any damage.
Be honest about the condition because the truth will come out after the customer has bought the item.
