Think, Craigslist, but with a face lift. Facebook Marketplace is already integrated into your Facebook and it is the site for you if you can’t be fussed to ship out your items, or if you want to sell larger items other than clothes.
Facebook Marketplace connects users in the same cities to help sell directly. With social distancing times, it may be harder to pick-up or drop-off items.
Steps to Sell:
Go to Marketplace on your Facebook
Create a listing for your item
That’s it!
This one may be the most convenient way to sell your clothes. No need to stress about taking pictures, picking prices or the most annoying of it all: actually shipping it out.
We would recommend this one if you are looking to get rid of a lot of clothes, but not doing it to solely make money.
Steps to Sell
Create a ThredUp Account
Order a Clean Out Kit
Fill it up with all your goods you wish to sell
Send it Off
Leave it for your mail carrier or drop it at FedEx or USPS
Get cash or credit!
The power duo started having sales via Facebook Live once a month, which they also noticed had become a space that inspired women to get out of their comfort zone, trying new styles without breaking the bank. Their customers were interacting with them on a personal level, sharing their OOTDs and it became more than just selling clothing. It became a community.
Darlene and Sandra started referring to their customers as the BHCC squad and later created a private Facebook group to offer private flash sales and have a safe, non-judgmental place for the squad to share their outfit images and interact with each other.”
This group hosts FB lives to sell various plus size fashion options, all worn or owned by some of your favorite plus size influencers.
If you are a secondhand shopper like me, you know all too well the joy that is finding some gorgeous clothes for less than half the original price …. and in your size!
Give that gift to other beautiful plus size babes!
When it comes to quantity, the bigger resale sites are awesome for finding and selling your clothes with ease, but I encourage you to support smaller consignment shops like the ones in the list above, or even better… find one in your local area!
I am willing to bet you have an awesome secondhand shop that is looking to consign your clothes! And if you do not, we happen to know that more than a few of the plus size consignment locations do accept shipments! Yes, sending your items to them!
Just ask if they do… you never know!
What is your favorite place to resell your gently worn plus size clothes? We are always on the lookout for more places to amplify and support!
