How to sell on Trunk
Looking to clear some closet space and make a little cash in the bargain? Here’s how it’s done.
Get an account
First things first: set up your Trunk account to get started. Just tap the link below and follow the prompts – it shouldn’t take more than a few minutes.
List your item
Set up a listing for something you want to sell. Make sure to include photos, a clear description, and size and condition info. You’ll also choose whether buyers can get their item using shipping or in-person pickup (or both).

Condition description
Make sure your condition description is accurate, and that you show any wear or damage the item has. If your item description isn’t accurate, it could get returned by the buyer – and nobody wants that.
Set your prices
Check out similar listings on Trunk to see what your item might sell for. Keep in mind the condition of your item will affect the price it will fetch.

Stay in touch
Keep an eye on your Trunk account for messages from potential buyers – staying responsive can help clinch those sales.
Sold!
When someone clicks ‘buy’ on your item, they’ll pay for it right away through the Trunk website, using our payment partner Stripe. We’ll hold the payment until the buyer gets the item.
Get the item ready
When you’ve made a sale, we’ll let you know so you can prep the item for delivery or collection.
If the buyer’s chosen to do an in-person collection – an option that’s only available if you allow it when you set up the listing – you’ll also need to let them know when and where to do the pick up.

Get paid
Once the buyer confirms they’ve received the item and it matches the description you gave, we’ll release their payment to you, minus Trunk’s 10% cut of the sale. Cha-ching!
Give feedback
Both buyers and sellers can (and should!) leave reviews for each other, to let everyone know who the good people to deal with on Trunk are.
That’s more or less all there is to it – happy selling!
