Hints & Tips

 

Here at the Uniform Swap Shop it's our aim to help you SELL your educational items as quickly as possible.

 

Please follow our suggestions to ensure your products are sold efficiently and effectively.

 

FREE search of all lodgment listings!

Search all lodgements to find the products which are right for you.

 

FREE registration!

Registration is absolutely free.  Registration allows you full access to all information on site, including ability to contact the SELLERS. Simply click the REGISTER tab and you'll have access within minutes.

 

Why does it work?

It allows you to turn your unwanted items into cash.  It also helps your school community, the enviornment and national non-profit organisations like The Alannah & Madeline Foundation. 

 

Buy an Item

Buying an item is easy.  Simply find the item you want, click "BUY THIS ITEM" and follow the five step process to your seller.

 

Sell an Item

Step 1 - Using a camera or iPhone, photograph your items preferably on a clean white background

 

Step 2 - Click "SELL AN ITEM" and follow the easy prompts to lodgment. 

 

Step 3 - Be realistic about the condition of your item and set your price accordingly. 

 

Step 4 - "Like" your products to post them on Facebook.

 

Step 5 - Confirm and wait for your BUYERS.

 

Membership Options

We believe simplicity is the key.  So we have developed two easy membership options.
 

       * Family Membership:          UNLIMITED lodgments for only $15    (valid for 12 months)

 

          * Quick Pack:                          3 lodgments for $3 

 

Once you realise how easy it is, clothing, textbooks, sports equiptment, normally Family Memberships are the most economical way to go.  To ensure we can provide a powerful search function, only one item may be listed per lodgedment.  Multiple sizes for the exact same product is acceptable under one lodgement.

 

Condition Classification(s)

It is important that your classify your goods in terms of 'condition' or fitness to perform against what is regarded 'as new'.  

 

We have provided a guide to the 3 levels of 'condition' which best describes your product. 

 

  • Excellent Condition:      60-80% of new price
  • Good Condition:             40-60% of new price
  • Fair Condition:                20-40% of new price

 

Classifications require a common sense approach.

IMPORTANT NOTE;   WE WOULD ASK SELLERS NOT TO LIST ANY ITEMS WHICH ARE TORN, STAINED OR WHERE HOLES ARE PRESENT.  EQUALLY BUYERS ARE ASKED NOT TO PURCHASE CLOTHING IN THIS STATE.

 

Advertisments (Facebook)

Whilst our site attracts a wide and varied demographic, it's always important to give your lodgments every chance of selling by advising your friends on Facebook.

 

In each individual product listing you'll see has a link "TELL YOUR FRIENDS - LIKE LISTING ON FACEBOOK".  This is a fantastic and easy way to extend your Uniform Swap Shop lodgments far and wide.
