1. Great photos

Sales happen faster and with fewer questions if you take great photos.

  • Light, light, light! Daylight is best, so find a spot near a window where you can use either the floor or a wall as a background. Tip: Drive a small nail into the wall so you have something to hang a clothes hanger on.
  • Neutral background! Take photos of your items against a light, neutral background so the colors stand out clearly.
  • An example of a shop with great photos on Reshopper is Re-useit.dk, which creates white backgrounds for their photos using the PhotoRoom app (get it from the App Store here or Google Play Store here). It’s actually quite easy.

2. List these items to boost your chances of a sale

You’ll often sell items that are in high demand more quickly. Generally, we see these items selling well during specific seasons:

Autumn and winter items

  • Snowsuits
  • Winter jackets
  • Winter boots

Spring and summer items

  • Dresses
  • Trousers
  • Slippers

3. Credibility

Add a profile picture of yourself so buyers can see who they are dealing with.

  • Write an honest and detailed description of your item. Anticipate potential questions from the buyer and always disclose any flaws or defects.
  • Respond quickly and in a friendly manner—this builds trust and can be the deciding factor in making a sale.
  • If the item needs to be shipped, use Reshopper Shipping. It is simple for both parties and provides peace of mind regarding payment and compensation. Encouraging sales outside of our platform is not permitted on Reshopper.
  • Write a description for your shop. You could mention that you use fragrance-free detergent or list the types of items and brands you frequently sell. This can encourage more people to follow your shop.

4. Generate interest

You can generate extra interest in your items by promoting them. You can promote items directly from your shop or from the item page itself using credits.

  • Boost: Push your item to the top of the new items feed.
  • Highlight: Add a label to your item to make it stand out from the rest. The label text could be something like "Make an offer", "Urgent", or "Brand new".
  • Nudge: Send a message to everyone who has commented on or favorited your item, letting them know it is still for sale.

5. The right price

You will sell your item faster if the price is right.

  • Use the price suggestions provided in the app when creating your listing.
  • Browse the app for the same item—from the same or different brands—to get a feel for what a fair price might be.
  • Check prices in your local area. Prices can vary from city to city and region to region.
