SHPOCK - APP REVIEW - IS IT WORTH SELLING THERE?







 I was very excited about the Shpock app as it allows to sell your old clothes , accessories and anything else like furniture or perfumes. The app has a very secure way of selling the items, you can either selling it directly via the app and post it or you can sell it locally and meet for the sale in person. Both ways have the advantages. The system in the app protects both the seller and the buyer so it is great to sell small clothing items that you can easily post. 

So far I have sold items like a sofa, shoes, a watch, dresses, clothes, a decorative ornament, handbags etc. The only thing you should be aware is that the important thing is to price your items correctly, you can't expect to retrieve the same amount that you paid for a used item. I think this is where many people have a rude awakening as used items , especially fashion loose a lot of value, even designer items. Otherwise the buyer can just buy a full price item brand new from the store so it has to be a significant discount to entice them. I think this is where many sellers get disappointed and impatient. 

Another thing - patience is a virtue that will come very handy while selling your items as some will be listed for a long time before a right buyer comes along. But then the buyer just buys it directly via the app and it is a matter of a few days of delivery and you can get paid for your item. It is important to make a sale via the app as I have noticed a few requests who send an email and want to discuss the sale via email, I would not recommend this as this opens you to fraud as the you will not get the protection from the app and you might end up sending your item and then receive no payment. So be careful. Buyers and sellers get reviews so it is also convenient to sell to the right buyer and buy form a nice seller. 

This app is a great solution if you want to declutter a few items from your closet and get a bit of money for them and find them a new loving home. Your unloved clutter is someone else's treasure!
