Is your wardrobe filled with lovely clothes you just don’t wear anymore? Instead of them taking up space, you could make a motza selling them online.

In fact, the collective value of Aussie wardrobes is around $76 billion, according to new research commissioned by eBay.

One third of Aussies reported that half their wardrobe was made up of pre-loved fashion and accessories. This means there is a huge market of Aussies looking to buy your old clothes.

And as the cost-of-living crisis continued, nearly half of Aussies said they had increased their purchases of pre-loved fashion in the past two years.

The research also revealed those who had sold pre-loved fashion made $1,239, on average, doing so.

“With Australians increasingly buying and selling pre-loved luxury, now is the time to make the most of your garments’ journey from creation to consumption,” eBay Australia head of fashion Brooke Eichhorn said.

“Declutter and give your pre-loved clothes a second chance to shine, while playing your part in driving circularity forward. You could be sitting on the one item someone wants to complete their look.

“We know that trust remains paramount when buying luxury items, and with eBay’s Authenticity Guarantee on luxury handbags and wallets valued over $350, and sneakers valued over $150, buyers can have confidence that they are buying the real deal - just look for the blue tick.”
