Starting a side hustle on depop

Side Hustle
1

Hey guys,

So I recently got on Depop after a long time (years), but this time as a seller since I wanted to get rid of some old clothes and I surprisingly was able to sell quite fast & the pay system is pretty good.

After having that experience I had an idea of reselling clothing I can buy for cheap from AliExpress and sell on Depop for 2x-3x. I’m currently looking into anime hoodies that run for around $8 each & hoping to sell for $25-$30. Depop has a nice feature where you can promote your items for a small % of your sale price.

Question for ya’ll, are there any better items/clothing ideas that I can sell better & faster? While still having a good profit margin? Also, any additional advice would be much appreciated!

Well I’m not exactly drop shipping. I’m shipping the AliExpress items to my house and selling it from here with my own packaging.

It’s walking the line, I’d be careful because they will delete your account.

Most likely if you sell a lot of the same thing, it could trigger an alert.

Same thing as in same category or same exact pieces over and over.

Exact thing. Even if different sizes, it would look the same.

Yeah no I’m gonna sell a variety of different items.

Would also have a limit of amount to sell and gradually increase it like each month.

Gotcha, yeah I’m thinking of having like max 10 listings at a time. Maybe 20 total per month and keep it steady.

@Adi
That’s a good idea.

Could you link your site?

There is a better website that is cheaper than AliExpress. It’s in Chinese though, but still.
