Selling a blouse in the US

Peer-to-peer payment apps dominate private sales, and buyers will usually offer one before they offer cash. Sales tax does not apply to a private sale between individuals.

Distances are the real constraint. State plainly whether you will ship or collection only, because a buyer three states away will otherwise ask.

Two practical things shape a US sale. Shipping is priced by dimensional weight as well as actual weight, so a light bulky item can cost far more to send than a heavy small one — measure the box before you quote. And meeting in person is common enough that many police departments now run designated safe-exchange areas in their car parks.

Working out what yours is worth

Check the underarms in daylight
Read the composition label

Getting it ready

Check for underarm marks and deodorant staining, which is the most common reason a blouse is unsellable.
Hold it to the light and check whether it is sheer, and whether it is lined.

Put in the description

Whether the fabric is sheer
Sleeve length and neckline, and any mark or snag

Fabric, style and size: “Silk Button Through Blouse, Cream, Size 10”. Fibre is the price driver — silk, viscose and polyester sit at very different levels. Say whether it is sheer, because that decides whether the buyer needs something underneath.

Steady with a lift in spring and before the party season. Silk and quality viscose sell fastest.

It costs nothing to list

There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the $51 a buyer pays is the $51 you keep. You and the buyer settle up and arrange the handover between yourselves; WishThrift does not hold the money or ship the item.

The United States is a big place and what sells well moves with it. These are the parts of the United States with their own page for blouses.

Common questions

Where can I sell a blouse in the US?

List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. There is no selling fee, so the whole amount stays with you. Peer-to-peer payment apps dominate private sales, and buyers will usually offer one before they offer cash. Sales tax does not apply to a private sale between individuals.

Is it see-through?

Hold it to a window and answer honestly. An unexpectedly sheer blouse is a common complaint and trivially avoided.

Can underarm marks be removed from silk?

Often not. Deodorant reacts with silk and the damage is frequently permanent, so check before listing.

How should I photograph a blouse?

On a hanger in daylight, with a close-up of the fabric. Drape and sheen are what buyers are assessing.
