Selling Guide

Poshmark, Depop, and Mercari are the primary platforms for Madewell. eBay is also viable for a broader reach, while Facebook Marketplace is good for local pickup to avoid fees.
Selling Tips
Always include the cut name (e.g., 'The Perfect Vintage Jean' or 'Tapered Jean') found on the smaller size tag inside. Photograph the back pockets, the size tag, and provide measurements for waist and inseam. Mention the 'Fair Trade' aspect to appeal to conscious consumers.
