Lots of people tend to let clothes pile up in their closets, their dressers overflowing with unwanted shirts and pants. This is often a byproduct of online shopping, being that people purchase clothes online more than in stores nowadays out of convenience, and thus, don’t try them on before buying them. However, when it comes to getting rid of clothes that fail to meet expectations, it’s just too much of a hassle to return them. This leaves people out of money and closet space. But is there a better way to manage one’s wardrobe?
If you’re the kind of person who’s looking to get rid of some extra clothes while still making a profit, Depop is absolutely the solution for you. Depop is an online platform that enables you to buy and sell secondhand fashion items from the comfort of your own home. Listing items is incredibly easy; all you have to do is snap a couple pictures of the things you’re looking to sell and provide some brief information about their brands, sizes, and condition of quality. Additionally, Depop is not limited to fashion items and some people even sell decor and books through their accounts.
While this all sounds easy, many find shipping these items too difficult and time consuming. However, if you have the Depop shipping setting in place, those who purchase your listings automatically pay for shipping and a shipping label is sent to you. I personally have had no problem both purchasing and selling clothing items through Depop. I use the Depop shipping setting when I sell, and all I have to do is download and print the shipping labeled emailed to me, package my sold item, and bring it to my local post office. As for my experience as an avid Depop shopper, I’ve only ever been dissatisfied with a purchase once and simply “repopped” it (sold it back through Depop with its previous listing), where I managed to sell it within a week of listing it. A key reason for my success on this platform is the fact that I always check a seller’s reviews, making sure that they are trustworthy and others have had good experiences buying from them.
Though selling clothes and accessories is a great use of this app, it is also an excellent way to upgrade your wardrobe. Vintage tops, jeans, bags, and jewelry that you can no longer find at a regular store is sold through Depop. Many people are attracted to certain decades and the clothing aesthetics/trends of those time periods. Depop enables you to find used clothes from these periods so that there are no limits to finding outfits that match your vibe. Since most of the clothes are used, you can send offers to sellers to bargain for a better deal. Most sellers will also throw in free shipping if you buy multiple items from them.
Depop is an excellent way to earn some extra cash and/or find clothes just right for you. While not for everyone, this platform is a key way of purchasing clothes for many, being that it is more affordable, potentially profitable, and possesses a wide range of products so that there is something for everyone. It’s almost like the online equivalent of thrifting; if you look hard enough you’re sure to find something special.
