It's not "unethical" you fucking retard. You're offering a service (making it so that lazy people don't have to go to nasty dirty thrift stores and sort through literal garbage to find something decent).

I'm an eBay seller (though not for clothes) and I can tell you it's not worth it. First off, women return clothes like 70% of the time because it doesn't fit or they don't like the color or whatever other bullshit reason, which means you're paying to ship it out to a customer and back again at least 3x times before you finally sell it for good. Think $6 each way for 3 ways, that's $18 just to ship the thing (you can make it so the buyer pays the return shipping). Then you've got eBay fees. They're really fucking high. Then you've got to worry about taxes, which the government will steal at least 35% of your profits. So let's see:

>Buy shirt for -$5
>Sell it for +$50
>Ship it 6x ways for -$18
>Shipping supplies for -$5
>So you now have $22 worth of profit, but here comes eBay to steal about $10 in fees. You're now down to $12 in profit.
>Now here comes the government who wants 35% of that, so now you've made $8 in profit.

Now think of all that work you did to make $8 fucking dollars, and this is a REALLY good scenario because you only paid $5 for a $50 shirt. If you paid $10 for that $50 shirt, you only made $3 fucking dollars for all that time and bullshit having to sell the thing 3x times and deal with all the refunds and shit.

The only thing worse to sell than clothes is books because books are heavy and a huge pain in the ass. No, the whole used clothes market only exists because stupid fucking women are so fickle and vain and are constantly buying and selling clothes. They're not making any profit on it. Quite the contrary.
