It's super simple to sell with SwapUp!

Step 1: Order a SwapUp Kit

Create a SwapUp account and go to the "Order SwapUp Kit" page. Click "Buy It Now" to get your Kit.

For $49 only, you will receive a prepaid label via email within 24 hours. You can use this label to send up to 20 items of clothes / handbags to us almost instantly, perfect for when cleaning out your wardrobe or when moving houses!

Step 2: Send us your stuff 

Pack your like-new, freshly-laundered clothes. No damage, no stain and no odour, please!

Attach the shipping label to your packaging. Drop off at your nearest Australia Post.

Step 3: Sit back and relax

Once your SwapUp Kit arrives at our facility, we'll do all the hard work of sorting, listing, taking professional photography, selling and shipping your items to buyers via our resale platform.

You'll earn 15-60% of the sale price once items are sold. You can track the whole process and your earnings from your sold items on your account.

Enjoy the freedom to cash out or donate your earnings at any time. Even better, you can use it to shop from our online thrift store and get a 20% bonus at checkout! Circular economy, baby!

The SwapUp Kit price covers the following:

• Prepaid shipping with Australia Post for 20 items from anywhere in Australia

• $100 insurance in the form of store credit in the case of lost packages

You can send up to 20 items with a SwapUp Kit. Feel free to add a few extra pieces in case any of them are rejected.

We highly recommend that you reuse an existing packaging. The packaging's sum of length, width and height should be less than 120 cm.

If you're looking to send in LOTS of handbags (which won't fit in a box), please email us at hello@swapup.com.au to arrange a drop off at our Sydney HQ instead.

Payout varies depending on the item selling price (after GST):

💰 up to $29.99 -> 15%

💰 $30.00 - $49.99 -> 25%

💰 $50.00 - $99.99 -> 35%

💰 $100.00 - $199.99 -> 50%

💰 above $200.00 -> 60%

Unfortunately, a $10 item requires the same level of efforts as a $50 item for us. That's why you'll earn less on lower value items, but much more on higher value ones.

The amount that SwapUp keeps helps us pay our staff (unlike op shops, we're not run by volunteers!) and covers the costs of sorting, listing, photographing, storage, marketing and shipping of all items.

Your payout may be reversed if an item is returned.

⭐️ Pro tip: Remember, higher value items mean better payout for you! So it's totally worthwhile to invest in quality items that are locally and ethically made 💜

We accept women clothes and handbags that are well-made pieces that are designed to last. They must be in great condition, freshly laundered and in-season (summer, winter, transeasonal).

For clothing, we love classic Australian brands like Aje, Gorman and Country Road. Quality plus size items are incredibly sought after.

For handbags, leather ones from known brands like Coach, Kate Spade and Oroton tend to do quite well!

We highly recommend that you sell items following the season i.e. send us summer clothes in August to February, and winter clothes in March to July.

All items must meet our quality standards to be accepted:

No damage

• All items need to have their original brand and sizing tags intact

• Clothing and bags should not have rips, tears, shrinkage or pilling. Items which have been altered, through fair usage or otherwise, will not be accepted

No stain

• Clothing and handbags should not be stained, dirty, faded, stretched or blemished

No odour

Unaccepted items will not be sold in our online store and therefore are not eligible for payouts. We may choose to donate, recycle, or bulk sale at our discretion.

Please note that this list may be expanded at any time without notice.

We recommend following these simple steps to help protect your items during shipment and ensure they reach us in great condition:

Reuse a box

Before purchasing a new box, see if you already have one at home which you can repurpose. Any box is fine as long as it's sturdy and the sum of its length, width and height is less than 120 cm. Hello Fresh and Who Gives A Crap boxes tend to be the perfect size (interesting combo, we know..)

If you're going to pack the box to the brim, consider taping the edges to avoid items falling out during transit.

Add a little padding on top

This helps protect your items when we cut open your box. Crumpled old newspaper or a layer of cardboard works best!

This way up

Write "this way up" on the side of the box. This helps us make sure to cut open the right end of the box, keeping your items protected by the padding.

Avoid satchels if you can help it

We find most satchels are simply not strong enough to hold 20-25 pieces of clothing. If you absolutely must use one, tape around the edges to avoid items coming out in transit.

Consider waterproofing

Most sturdy boxes are fine, however if choosing to use a paper satchel, placing clothes in a reused plastic bag first will lower the chance of water damage during transit.

Print labels

Finally, print the shipping label we sent you and make sure it's securely attached to the box. Just avoid taping over the barcode, please. And now you're good to go!

You can track your SwapUp Kit using your Australia Post tracking number here.

Please feel free to obtain a lodgement receipt for your own record when you drop off your SwapUp Kit at an Australia Post retail outlet.

We aim to upload any accepted items within 4 weeks of arrival at our facility, but you'll jump the queue with a SwapUp Kit premium. You'll receive an email when we've put them up.

We will list your items within 4 weeks of arrival at our facility. You'll receive an email when we've put them up.

The initial listing price for consigned items will be determined by SwapUp with absolute and sole discretion. SwapUp may decide to adjust the listing price over time to increase its chance of being sold.

Any item under consignment that is not sold within the consignment period of 120 days becomes a property of SwapUp.

Please note that we do not offer to return to sellers any unaccepted items, and accepted / consigned items during the consignment period.

We aim to process SwapUp Kits within 4 weeks of arrival at our facility. We usually see more demand than usual during holidays as a lot of people send in their SwapUp Kits at the same time, so the wait time may be longer. Thank you for your patience :)

Once you create an account using the same email address that you used to order a SwapUp Kit, you can:

• Track your sales
• Use your earnings to shop or cash out
• Update your details including bank account information
• Change your contact and communication preferences

You can choose to do one of the following from the Balance menu in account:

Shop

You can use your earnings to shop directly from SwapUp with a 20% bonus - this will be credited back to your account after you shop. Simply log in to your account and toggle on the option to use your credit when you check out. Circular economy, baby! 😉

Cash out

You can cash out your earnings to your nominated bank account. We require a minimum of $10 in requested amount to process. We process your cash out requests every Monday. See the complete explanation here.

After the consignment period lapsed, you will have an additional 14 days to collect your item from its location. We can also ship them to you with a small handling fee of $5 per retrieved item plus shipping cost (including 1% cover value).

If you don't reclaim your item, it becomes the property of SwapUp and may be included in charity contributions, community engagement programs, bulk resale or new location launches without further notice. We have introduced this due to the large volume of pieces that can be left behind, as well as our limited storage capacity.

Until the cost of retrievals are paid and received, items may continue to be sold on the website, however, sellers will not be eligible for payout. Generally, we clean out items that have not been sold bimonthly.

That's entirely up to you!

Here at SwapUp, we are passionate about making secondhand mainstream, so it breaks our hearts to learn that 85% of donated clothes are not sold — and they end up in landfills instead.

SwapUp was founded to help re-circulate those clothes. We want to make the process of buying and selling secondhand as convenient as buying new, because:

a) you earth-loving thrifters deserve it

b) we can re-home more clothes than before!

Yes! Up to $100 insurance in the form of store credit is included with every SwapUp Kit sent to our facility

SwapUp has the exclusive rights to adjust pricing and consignment rate. In the case of consignment rate changes, consignors will be notified via email.

SwapUp will not be liable for any damages or loss of your items, regardless who caused the loss or damage. Unless otherwise specified, you guarantee authenticity of consigned goods and indemnifies SwapUp of any damages, fees, and costs that may occur, including return of buyer’s purchase price, as a result thereof. Additionally, you warrant legal ownership of all items free of any liens and encumbrances.
