  1. Start with a clean, complete view

    Photograph front, back, labels and any stains, repairs or fabric wear. Use your own photos in neutral light; avoid filters that alter the colour.

  2. Make sizing useful

    Give the label size and explain how you measured relevant dimensions such as chest width, waist or inside leg. State whether a measurement is flat or around the garment.

  3. Describe what the buyer will receive

    Mention fabric, missing buttons, altered hems and whether accessories are included. Keep separate garments distinct so there is no uncertainty about what the price buys.

  4. Pack for the material

    Fold carefully and keep the garment dry in suitable outer packaging. Remove old addresses and barcodes from reused packaging and attach the new label clearly.

  5. Understand the sale before you publish

    There are no listing costs. The standard seller contribution to SilentCover® is deducted after a successful sale; review your earnings preview.

    SilentCover® is a discretionary protection service under the SilentSale® Terms. Both sides protected equally: buyer and seller each contribute £0.30 + 3% of the item price. Decisions depend on the Terms and evidence.

    Tracked delivery starts from £2.96, with available services and the price shown at checkout. Use a SilentSale®-issued label and check parcel size, weight and contents before dispatch.

    PIN Pickup is an in-person handover. The buyer inspects the item before sharing their six-digit PIN; the seller enters it in the app to complete the order. The PIN is acceptance. There is no shipping, tracking or post-handover dispute window.
