How to sell clothes online in Egypt, step by step

Selling clothes online in Egypt used to mean a Facebook group, a stranger, and a meeting somewhere neither of you wanted to be. That has changed. Listing a piece takes five minutes, and a few simple choices can have it sold within days.

There are more than fifty thousand listings on Libsy, and the ones that sell quickest have three things in common. None of the three takes long.

Take at least three photos, in daylight

Photographs do more for a listing than anything else in it. The same piece shot in a dark room sells far more slowly than one shot near a window.

The effort caps out quickly, though. Three or four clear photos in natural light is all it takes, and beyond six you are adding nothing. Five minutes really is enough.

Shoot against a plain wall, turn the overhead light off and use a window. Include the label, and photograph any mark or wear honestly. A small flaw mentioned up front rarely stops a sale.

Price it for the buyer, not for what you paid

Price is the other thing you control, and it works fast. Pieces priced close to what buyers expect sell far quicker, and even a small reduction can move something that has been sitting.

The median asking price on Libsy is EGP 500, which is where most of the demand sits. Price near it and your piece is in front of the most buyers.

Give it a month

Most sales happen within the first month, and plenty land within days. A quiet first week means nothing, and pieces keep selling long after.

Leaving a listing up costs nothing at all. If something has been quiet for a while, a small price adjustment is the quickest way to move it.

Start with accessories

Bags, shoes and jewellery sell fastest, and they are also the easiest to photograph and the cheapest to deliver. Start there for a quick first sale, then add clothing once you have the hang of it.

The short version

• Three photos in daylight. More than six adds little.
• Price competitively. It is the quickest route to a sale.
• Give a listing a month. Most sales land inside one.
• Answer messages. Buyers usually ask before they buy.

When the photographs are ready, sell used clothes online in Egypt from the app.

All figures come from Libsy's own listing data as of August 2026. Sell-through is measured only on listings at least 90 days old, so a piece posted last week is not counted as unsold. Prices are what the seller sets, before the buyer-side fee.
