How to sell

Once you have registered you can enjoy the benefits of selling your designer shoes on a worldwide market

• To place your designer shoes on buymyheels.com the cost is only £5.  This is through Paypal and it does not matter what country you live in as Paypal exchange the cost from pounds to dollars or euros.  You need to be a registered user of Paypal.
  
  
• Firstly, it’s very important you place your item in the correct category.
  
  
• Describe your item in full.  Make sure you provide a full description outlining all detail, faults, sizes and features.  The more detail you provide the more likely it is to sell.
  
  
• Take three really good photos: One from above; one from the side; and one from the front. The better the photo the better the chance you have of success.  Keep the size of the photos below 2mb.
  
  
• Be realistic about pricing your shoes. Also be prepared for the buyer to make you an offer and to barter. 

Postage 

Depending on where the buyer is located, your postage costs may vary between £4 and £20.  Remember, this site is for buyers and sellers worldwide. On average 1 pair of shoes in a box weigh 1kg or 2.2 pounds.  Please refer to your local post office or website for costs and time to deliver.

Packing

Pack your items well and include the shoe box if you still have it – you will need to let the buyer know if you have the box or not.

Be sure to use either recorded delivery or registered post.  Remember to include the cost of your country's mainland postage within your selling price.

If you're happy to send your item abroad, make sure that you check the cost with your postal service before you agree on a price.  Sending parcels overseas will incur a tax to the buyer, not the seller.  

Don't forget to check the Customs & Excise laws within your jurisdiction.  

• Package labels should be printed clearly and attached securely to the front and back of the package.
  
  
• Keep your receipts to confirm not only when an item was sent, but also proof that it was posted.
  
  
• With the more valuable items, we strongly suggest Postal Insurance, as The Site can accept no liability and does not guarantee safe carriage of any item posted or couriered.

For sending a parcel to the United States:
For any item valued over $100 USD, US customs will impose a 6.5% tax.  However, there are ways of reducing this tax.

You must mark the parcel ‘Internet Purchase’.  By doing this, it gives the first $200 tax free.  
NB:  If you address the parcel to two people, for example, Mr and Mrs Smith, then the first $400 is tax free. 

Receiving Payment

The safest way for payment is through Paypal.  All buyers and sellers need to be registered Paypal users.  To find out more on becoming a registered Paypal user go to www.paypal.com 

Once you have sold the shoes remove the items from your list and get ready to place your next item!
