Take clear pictures of the items you are selling. Posting blurry pictures or pictures that are too small may actually deter potential buyers. Buyers want to see what they are buying, not what they think they are buying.

2
Take several pictures of each item you want to sell. Take a full-length picture of the clothing item. Take another picture of the item up close and take another picture of the item at an angle. You should also take a picture of any special details that make the clothing item unique.

Post your item for sale online. Use online auction websites and other reputable websites that offer free posting of classified ads. Many of these websites only charge you a small service fee when your clothes sell.

Entice potential customers to purchase your items by describing items in intricate detail. Describe the color of the item, list the size and make sure to list the designer if and when applicable.

5
State the condition of the item. Let potential customers know if the clothing is in excellent, good or average condition.

List all measurements of the garment. For t-shirts, tops and sweaters, take measurements of the neck opening, the waist and the length of the item.

Create the same environment buyers experience at a physical retail store. While they cannot touch or feel the garment, they should have a good idea of what type of material the garment is made of, so they know how the garment feels against their skin.

Tips & Warnings
When taking pictures of your clothing items, make sure the item looks presentable. Avoid taking pictures of clothing with wrinkles, cat hair or any stain on it.
If an item does have a stain, do your best to remove it first. If you are not able to remove it, note this flaw in your posting.
The Lemondrop website states that potential customers are more likely to show interest in an item that has high quality photos, with good color and clear accurate descriptions.
Avoid selling these items at garage or yard sales, since most people are expecting to get a good bargain.
