There truly is nothing quite like the pure joy of finding the perfect secondhand piece. It fits like a dream, is a fraction of the price it retailed for and you get that extra dose of feel-good knowing you’re giving pre-loved clothes a second life.

As a seasoned thrifter who’s spent countless hours digging through op-shop racks and online, I can confidently say eBay is the place for amazing pre-loved finds.

I’ve been so impressed with the quality and variety of items I’ve found, from designer pieces like Aje, Scanlan Theodore and Zimmermann to classic staples and trendy items, making it easy to elevate your wardrobe without breaking the bank.

Beyond shopping, I also love participating in circular fashion. In the past year, I’ve adopted a “one in, one out” rule. If a piece isn’t working for me, I pass it on to another fashion lover. If I want to buy something new, I have to donate or sell something I haven’t worn in a while. I love knowing that if something doesn’t fit me or my style anymore, it can bring joy to someone else.

Recently, I’ve started selling clothes, bags and accessories on eBay. This helps me avoid overconsumption and gives me extra cash to fund my next pre-loved purchase (what’s not to love?!).

With over a million people browsing daily (myself included), your items are likely to be sought after.

Plus, listing your items is super easy with eBay’s AI tools, which help you create descriptions quickly. There really is no excuse not to give those dust-collecting pieces a new life.

With the warmer weather finally making an appearance, I’ve been busy curating the dreamiest summer wardrobe with pieces from eBay and your favourite brands that you’ll want to wear all summer long.

These items are pre-loved, so once they’re sold, they might be gone for good! But don’t worry — you can still find similar pieces from the brands you love.

Aje. Gracious Cut Out Mini, $189.90.

With summer fast approaching, my social calendar is filling up. Between work parties, Friendmas and family events, I always like to invest in a classic mini dress.

This beautiful silk dress has caught my eye, and the colour is perfect for the festive season. The puff sleeves and waist cut-out add a little personality to the dress, yet it still remains very sophisticated and stylish.

Alemais Paradiso Sundress, $625.

I am so over the boringness of neutrals that were everywhere this winter. I’m all about colour this summer, and Alemais truly excels at it, offering a vibrant array of pieces to choose from.

This sundress is the perfect mix of fun, colour and style. It’s perfect for a wedding or any other summer occasion where you want to make a statement. I’m absolutely obsessed with the vibrant print and flattering silhouette — it’s the kind of dress that looks amazing on everyone.

Just imagine it paired with some tan heels or sandals — so cute!

Country Road Organic Cotton Stripe Knit Tank, $75.

I’m absolutely loving crochet right now (okay, truthfully, I have always been a fan). It’s such a fun way to add personality and texture to any outfit. When it comes to tops, I’m always on the lookout for something with a little extra excitement and this crochet top definitely fits the bill.

Its flattering cut makes it easy to pair with any neutral bottoms you already have in your wardrobe — think your favourite jeans, denim shorts or skirt. If you’re also on the hunt for a cute summer top, check out more options here.

Oroton Women’s Sunglasses, $49.95.

In my opinion, sunglasses are the most underrated accessory. They can elevate almost any outfit and they’re, of course, very practical too, keeping the sun out of your eyes and all. These Oroton sunglasses are timeless, elegant and effortlessly chic. However, if you’re looking for a different shape or style, you can find similar here.

The slender frame is very much in style at the moment, and the black and bronze frames beautifully complement the sleek black lenses. These sunglasses are a great investment if you’re looking for a stunning pair that will literally go with everything.

Scanlan Theodore Denim Mini Dress, $400.

This Scanlan Theodore denim dress is the perfect length for summer, and the unique design sets it apart from your average denim dress.

The panel detailing creates a flattering silhouette, and the off-the-shoulder style is perfect for warmer weather. It can be dressed up or down and will guarantee you some compliments. Plus, this dress retails for $600, so it’s quite the steal.

Topshop Beach Bag, $38.73.

Hear me out — everyone needs a cute summer accessory. Enter this beach bag from Topshop.

Think: your go-to sunscreen, wallet, sunnies, Kindle and a snack or two. This bag can handle it all (and still look stylish doing it!).

With its breezy, beachy vibe and chic design, it’s the perfect accessory for a girls’ lunch on the coast or a casual outing. Versatile and oh-so-cute, this bag is a timeless addition to any wardrobe.

Veronika Maine Abstract Buckle Belt, $90.

This belt is so freaking stunning. The unique detailing on the buckle makes it a little more fun than your average belt and will add the perfect amount of elevation to your outfits. As a gold jewellery girlie, I’m always on the hunt for belts that will complement them.

This versatile belt is a wardrobe essential that you’ll reach for again and again. It would look great styled with some high-waisted shorts or a skirt and some cute flats. If you’re keen to browse, you can check out more from the brand here.

Witchery Linen Utility Mini Skirt in Flax, $34.

For me, a linen mini skirt is a must-have summer staple, and this one from Witchery is especially gorgeous. This comfy, classic and versatile skirt can be dressed up or down, making it perfect for a casual brunch or a nice dinner.

The high-quality linen, flattering fit and neutral shade means it can be easily styled with the tops and tees you already own. The linen also instantly elevates any casual outfit. Trust me, the cost per wear will quickly be just cents.

Zimmermann Wide Leg Trousers, $295.

These pants remind me of drinking aperols on holiday, and I am here for it. They’re the perfect blend of comfort and style, with a flowy silhouette that’s both elegant and relaxed.

The colours are simply gorgeous and add a fun touch to your wardrobe. You can dress them up with a sleek blouse and heels for a sophisticated evening look or keep it casual with a simple tee and sandals for a more daytime look. Love this style? Discover more options here.
