Listing on AirRobe

Listing is super easy. First, sign up to create an AirRobe account or log in.

Click “LIST AN ITEM” and follow the simple instructions. All items will automatically show up in your AirRobe account so you can save them for later, or list them straight away. Once approved by our team your listing will be live on the AirRobe marketplace for all to see.

Make it fresh. Use your Mum’s advice here and leave it as you’d like to find it. Give it a warm wash, hang it to dry, and steam/press it, to refresh it back to life.
Capture it. Your phone and great lighting are all you need. Use a plain background and take photos and at various distances to capture the detail, too. You know what else helps? Mirror selfies!
Flaws? Document them. Be as honest as possible so you get glorious reviews and the transaction is straight forward.
Self-promo. No shame! Post a throwback of your item to socials and shout about how you’re part of the circular fashion movement.
Prove it. It helps to add an authenticity card or certificate to act as a security guarantee for your buyer and makes your item more appealing too.
Set a fair price. Is it from a sought-after brand or does it have long-term value? Is this style currently trending? Take some time to research prices for similar items. Remember: If it doesn’t sell right away, you can always lower the price! And, we have an experienced community who can help you, too.

This is normal. Sometimes we will ask you to email us an invoice, certificate, sales receipt, or proof of authenticity.

Add your bank details under Setting>Payments and proceeds will automatically be transferred to your elected bank account, within 3 business days, once the sale process is complete.

We deduct 17% from all sold items to cover basic costs including transaction fees (Stripe Connect) authenticity checks, insurance for authenticity and parcel delivery, and customer service.

AirRobe uses Stripe Connect’s escrow payment service to keep everything as secure as possible. Stripe escrow holds the buyer’s payment until the order is fulfilled, and the item is received.

You, the seller, will receive a payment within 3 business days in all instances unless your item is disputed (for example, the item wasn’t as described or is non-authentic). AirRobe handles all disputes.

Stripe Connect

Stripe Connect is an industry-leading online payment service and provides better protection compared to PayPal.

All of AirRobe’s transactions are securely processed by Stripe Connect. AirRobe does not store your payment, banking or credit/debit card information.

All AirRobe transactions use an escrow service. Stripe’s escrow account holds the Buyer’s money until the order is fulfilled and the Buyer receives the item.

Stripe Connect works to protect both parties during the payment process.

Buyer requests to purchase an item and the Seller is notified.
Seller has 3 days to accept the order.
Once the order is accepted by the Seller, the purchase is securely processed in the Stripe escrow account.
Seller delivers/posts the item and marks the order as “Fulfilled”.
Buyer receives the item and marks the order as “Completed”.
Payment is released to the Seller.

(The Buyer also has the right to elect to “Dispute” the order and will liaise with AirRobe on the matter)

An order can be disputed by the Buyer if they’re concerned the item is non-authenticated, was misdescribed, or misrepresented.

AirRobe handles all disputes on a case-by-case basis.

No matter the issue, the seller receives the proceeds of the sale in all instances, except when the item is misdescribed or misrepresented.

Buying on AirRobe

We have various steps to authenticate all products that sell on AirRobe. For certain items we require customers to provide proof of purchase. Our photo recognition and machine learning technology check all items listed and we request high-risk items to be sent to us for in-depth inspection prior to selling.

We use Stripe Connect escrow payments, which means the Buyer’s payments are not released to the Seller until the item is received, and the Buyer marks the order as “Completed”.

If you are concerned around authenticity, inaccuracy or poor condition once you receive an item, you have the right to dispute the item. AirRobe will launch an investigation and if a default or misrepresentation is confirmed, we will offer a full refund.

It is important to note that we will only offer a refund if your purchase doesn’t match the condition, size and brand description provided by the seller, or if the item is torn and unclean.

Unfortunately, we don’t offer refunds for change of mind. But, we may be able to offer store credit in some cases.

It’s up to the individual seller to decide on the method of delivery that best suits them.

If your package is not shipped directly through us and there are delivery issues email us at hello@airrobe.com and we may be able to reimburse you.

Sizing can vary between brands and European sizes are different from AU ones (sometimes we provide both, so make sure to double-check before checkout.) Luckily, you can find accurate measurements in the description under each garment, which is your best bet for online orders. But if you’re still uncertain, either message the seller or email our customer service team who can help.

Unfortunately, we are unable to process cancellations after the order is confirmed and the payment is processed.

Yes, we charge 3% on each purchase.
