RALEIGH, N.C. — Buying secondhand is a good way to score a deal on high-quality items, while avoiding fast fashion.
With so many resale sites like Depop, Mercari, Poshmark, and Etsy, it’s easier than ever to find a secondhand version of that perfect piece. Better Business Bureau of Eastern NC (BBB) offers tips to make the secondhand shopping experience safe and enjoyable.
“Purchasing secondhand clothing can help with environmental sustainability and be a little lighter on the wallet,” said Mallory Wojciechowski, president and CEO of BBB. “Consumers who are looking at secondhand sites need to make sure they do their due diligence to ensure a great shopping experience.”
Before you start shopping online, review the BBB online shopping page and read the BBB Tip: Smart Shopping Online.
If you spot a scam, report it to BBB.org/ScamTracker where your report can help other consumers avoid falling prey to shady sellers.
