Selling guide
Selling activewear second-hand
Activewear is bought on brand, size and honesty about wear, in that order. Because the fabrics are technical, buyers care about things that do not apply anywhere else: whether the fabric has gone sheer, whether the waistband still holds, whether it has been washed with fabric softener.
Photograph it
Stretch the fabric gently over your hand and photograph it against the light, so the buyer can see for themselves that it is not sheer.
What buyers check
- Whether leggings have gone see-through at the back
- Waistband elasticity
- Bobbling on the inner thigh
The common mistake
Not mentioning sheerness. It is the single most common reason activewear is returned.
