Retro and current shirts, scarves and signed items, sold on clear photos of badges, tags and condition.
The kit our builder picks for a typical Football shirts and memorabilia seller. Change the answers to fit yours.
Phone mount
A tall stand for showing clothing or trainers face on.
Each step in the order you'll need it.
Grey mailing bags, tissue paper and thermal labels cover most orders. A clothes rail and padded hangers keep shirts uncreased while they wait to sell.
For photos, use the same hanger, wall and light for every shirt. A tripod keeps your shots matched across the whole shop.
Fold the shirt around a sheet of tissue, keeping the fold off the sponsor print, names and numbers. Old vinyl cracks along creases.
Slide it into a grey mailing bag and seal it. Signed shirts in frames go in a double-wall box with corner protection and padding, and never in a bag.
Hang shirts on a rail sorted by club, then by season. Tag each hanger with a stock number that matches the listing.
Keep older shirts out of sunlight, which fades colours and dries out prints. Fold rarely worn retro shirts in tissue in a box if your rail is full.
Kit for this step
Shoot the front, back, badge, sponsor, inside tags, product code tag and any name and number. Show every pull, mark and print crack.
Put the club, season, home or away, size and name in the title. Buyers search by season, so check it against the tags and kit history before you list.
Replica and fake shirts are common, and platforms remove counterfeit listings. If you can’t confirm a shirt is official, don’t list it as one.
Whatnot and TikTok Shop suit football shirts, especially around big fixtures and transfer windows. Hold each shirt up, then show the badge and tags close to the camera.
Pull the shirts for a show onto the rail in running order. Have mailing bags and tissue ready so you can pack the same evening.
Kit for this step
A folded shirt in a mailing bag is light and usually fits a small parcel band. Weigh a few to learn your usual band, and check the current Royal Mail size guide.
Past 50 orders, batch-photograph new stock in one session and list from a template of required shots. Keep signed items separate with their certificates filed by stock number.
Each one costs you money or reviews, and each has a fix.
Complete kits for one kind of seller, costed and laid out.

Yes, with care. Keep any certificate with the shirt and describe exactly what proof you have.
Check the badge stitching, sponsor print, inside tags and product code against known genuine examples. If anything doesn’t match, don’t sell it as official.
Check the inside tags and product code, then compare the badge, sponsor and kit maker with records of that club’s kits.
