THE CIRCULAR FASHION FLOW

You can upload items from any brand, as long as they meet the following criteria: 
- The retail value is between $150 and $1,500 AUD for clothing and up to $1,400 AUD for bags. 
- Bags valued above $900 AUD require proof of purchase. 
- The item is in excellent condition. 
- The item is not irreplaceable or one-of-a-kind. 
- The item is durable and does not wear easily (e.g., stiletto heels are not permitted). 
- The item is not made from real fur. 

Style Cycle reserves the right to edit or remove listings that don’t meet these criteria. 

Additional considerations when listing items: 
- Delicate fabrics like silk, satin, and velvet may be more prone to natural wear and can be difficult to repair seamlessly. 
- Long hems should be mentioned in the item description. 
- Loose accessories (e.g., belts or sashes) require extra care, as they can be misplaced during rentals.

There is no listing fee to add your items on Style Cycle. Instead, a 15% service fee is deducted from each successful rental transaction. 
This small fee helps us cover administrative and operational costs—such as secure payments, customer support, and platform maintenance—ensuring a smooth experience for both renters and lenders.

To list an item on Style Cycle: 

- Click “List an Item” 
- Fill in the product details – Include key information such as the brand, size, and fit. The more details, the better! Extra style notes and specifics can be really helpful for renters. If your item has any minor imperfections, be sure to photograph and describe them in the listing. Note: Only select one size per listing.
- Upload high-quality photos – Display your item using a variety of images. The main photo should have no background and be free of distractions. Additionally, include images showing the item’s current condition. 
- Set your delivery and dry cleaning costs – And that’s it! Your item is ready to rent. 

Reminder: All items must be shipped via a next-day service or must arrive on or before the rental start date. Shipments should be tracked, signed for, and include the appropriate insurance. Be sure to account for these costs when setting your shipping price.

When listing an item on Style Cycle, the platform provides a suggested rental fee based on various factors. Here’s how pricing is determined and how you can customize it as a Lender: 

Suggested Rental Fee 
Style Cycle suggests an optimal rental fee when you list an item, typically 10%-15% of the item’s retail price. This range is considered the ideal balance for competitive and profitable rental pricing. 

Customizing Your Price 
As a Lender, you have the flexibility to adjust the suggested pricing to suit your preferences. You can increase or decrease the rental fee based on factors such as demand, item condition, brand popularity, or current fashion trends. 
By setting the right price, you can optimize your listings, attract more renters, and make the most of your wardrobe on Style Cycle!

To ensure transparency and protect both Lenders and Renters, follow these steps to document your item’s condition before and after lending. 

Before Sending Out: 
- Take clear, detailed photos of the item using your phone. 
- Capture any existing imperfections or details that may be important for the Renter to note. 
- Ensure these photos are taken within 24 hours before dispatching the item. 
- Your phone’s date stamp will serve as proof of the item’s condition at the time of dispatch. 

Upon Receiving the Item Back:

- If you notice any damage or discrepancies, take additional clear photos within 24 hours of receiving it.
