If you're in the business of secondhand or vintage fashion resale, you already know that great taste alone doesn’t cut it.
In 2025, the game is smarter, faster, and more automated than ever, powered by tools that can turn a side hustle into a serious business.
Whether you're reselling Y2K bags on Vinted or running a full-fledged curated vintage boutique, having the right tech stack behind you can be a total game-changer.
Here’s a breakdown of the top tools fashion resellers are using in 2025, from making your photos pop to keeping your inventory in check.
1. Photo Editing & Background Removal
First impressions count, and in resale, that means your photos. Buyers can’t touch or try on your items, so high-quality visuals are key to building trust and driving conversions.
Top Picks:
PhotoRoom: Still the gold standard for background removal and batch photo edits. You can remove backgrounds, add shadows, insert branded backdrops, and even create clean cover shots at scale.
Canva Pro: Perfect for creating branded assets, promotional content, and Instagram carousels. Their smart mockup tools now allow you to style vintage fits onto models with AI overlays.
Pixelcut: A favorite for its mobile-first interface and auto-enhance feature. Think of it as your on-the-go editing assistant for fast uploads.
Use a consistent editing style or backdrop across all listings. It builds brand cohesion, even if you're just selling solo.
2. Inventory & Listing Management
Once you're selling more than a dozen pieces at a time, tracking your stock manually gets overwhelming. In 2025, cross-listing and syncing tools are non-negotiables.
🗂 Top Picks:
Oly 🫒 – Especially great for vintage and luxury resellers. It allows you to cross-list on platforms like Vinted, Vestiaire, Grailed, and more. You can set pricing rules, apply markups by platform, and auto-deactivate listings when an item sells—so no more double-selling headaches. Connect with us if you want to learn more!
List Perfectly – One of the OG tools for cross-listing, now updated with AI tagging, template autofill, and platform-specific optimization tips.
Notion or Airtable – For custom inventory dashboards. You can build trackers that fit your workflow: track cost of goods sold, sales velocity, supplier info
3. Pricing & Market Research Tools
Knowing what to price your item at can be tricky—especially when you’re juggling rare vintage, limited edition collabs, or ever-shifting trends.
💸 Top Picks:
SellHound – Think of this as your pricing assistant. Snap a pic, and SellHound pulls comps from across marketplaces to suggest an ideal price point.
Terapeak (via eBay) – For sellers still listing on eBay, Terapeak gives you historical pricing data, sell-through rates, and category-specific insights.
Gem (Chrome Extension) – For vintage fashion, Gem aggregates search results across dozens of platforms. A great way to check live market prices in seconds.
Quick win: Keep an eye on listings that have sold and how long they took to sell. Fast-moving items at lower prices might be worth undercutting for volume.
Running a vintage store today is a mix of curation and operations.
The good news? The right stack of tools makes it so much easier to stay organized, look polished, and sell smarter. Whether you’re a hobbyist, weekend seller, or full-time flipper; 2025 is the year to let tech carry the heavy lifting, so you can focus on what you love: the fashion.
