The guide

Each step in the order you'll need it.

03

Storing stock you can find

Hang jerseys on a rack sorted by club, then by season. Tag each hanger with a SKU that matches the listing.

Keep older jerseys out of sunlight, which fades colors and dries out prints. Fold rarely worn retro jerseys in tissue in a box if your rack is full.

04

Photos and listings

Shoot the front, back, crest, 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 jerseys are common, and platforms remove counterfeit listings. If you can’t confirm a jersey is official, don’t list it as one.

05

Selling jerseys live

Whatnot and TikTok Shop suit soccer jerseys, especially around the World Cup, big European fixtures and transfer windows. Hold each jersey up, then show the crest and tags close to the camera.

Pull the jerseys for a show onto the rack in running order. Have mailers and tissue ready so you can pack the same evening.

06

Shipping and scaling up

A folded jersey in a poly mailer usually weighs under a pound, so it ships USPS Ground Advantage at the lowest weight tier. Weigh a few in ounces to learn your usual rate, or use the platform's prepaid label.

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 SKU.

Common mistakes

Each one costs you money or reviews, and each has a fix.

  • Folding across the sponsor print; fold around tissue and keep creases off the vinyl.
  • Guessing the season; check the tags and kit history before you title the listing.
  • Skipping the inside tag photo; buyers use it to check size and authenticity.
  • Shipping framed signed items in a mailer; use a double-wall box with corner protection.
  • Listing a jersey as official without checking; if you can’t confirm it, don’t claim it.
  • Hanging jerseys in sunlight; keep the rack out of direct sun so prints don’t fade.

Selling soccer jerseys and memorabilia

Soccer jersey buyers check the crest, the sponsor print and the inside tags. Photograph all three, plus any marks, and say which season it is.

Jerseys ship like clothing: folded around tissue in a poly mailer. Signed and framed items need a box with corner protection.

Questions

Straight answers to what sellers ask about this.

How should I photograph a soccer jersey?

Front, back, crest close-up, sponsor close-up and the inside tags. Use the same hanger and light for every jersey.

Can I sell signed jerseys?

Yes, with care. Keep any certificate of authenticity with the jersey and describe exactly what proof you have.

How do I tell if a soccer jersey is fake?

Check the crest stitching, sponsor print, inside tags and product code against known genuine examples. If anything doesn’t match, don’t sell it as official.

How do I find which season a jersey is from?

Check the inside tags and product code, then compare the crest, sponsor and kit maker with records of that club’s kits.

Is Whatnot good for soccer jerseys?

It can be, particularly for retro jerseys and around big tournaments and MLS games. Show the crest and tags up close on camera.

How do I ship a framed signed jersey?

Protect the corners, wrap the frame in bubble wrap and pack it in a double-wall box with padding on every side. Large frames often ship cheaper with UPS Ground or FedEx Ground than USPS.
