'Make an Offer' is a great feature for when you've found an item you love, but don't want to pay quite as much as the asking price. For example, if you have found a Karen Walker top you love and it's $200 (including shipping). You'’ve decided you'd pay $150 for it, so you 'Make an Offer' of $150 instead of paying the full purchase price of $200.
 

All you need to do is click 'Make an Offer' on any listing and enter the price you are willing to pay. The seller has three days to accept or decline this offer, and you will be notified of their decision. If the Seller accepts your offer, it is a binding agreement to purchase the item and you will need to complete the Checkout process. Please note: Making an Offer does not secure the item and the item is able to be sold before any decision has been made by the Seller.

 

Fashion is one of the largest selling e-commerce categories worldwide, and  Designer Wardrobe is right at the top of their game in this category as an online fashion community of like-minded individuals who love to buy, sell and rent designer items to and from each other. Originally a popular Facebook group, it quickly grew into a premium standalone web and app platform with members trading their favourite preloved designer labels.

 

It’s a thriving community too, with a rapidly growing base of over 87,000 members, a returning visitor rate of 70%, over 26,000 live listings, and more than 1.2 million page views per month. The platform’s sell-through rate on clothing is over five times that of Trade Me’s currently reported sell-through of Women’s Clothing, which until recently was one of the only options for selling clothing online.

 

The technology behind Designer Wardrobe’s platform has been built from the ground up specifically for fashion, utilising a high degree of curation, as well as superior filtering functionality and automation, and this has allowed the company to achieve superior metrics when compared to Trade Me’s generalised marketplace.

 

The success of marketplaces designed specifically for fashion, as opposed to generalised marketplaces such as Trade Me and eBay, is evidenced by the substantial traction these fashion focused marketplaces have exhibited overseas.
