Would you use this clothing resale marketplace?

Clothing resale options in Canada seem pretty limited. Poshmark takes big fees and doesn't allow local collection, and FB Marketplace has awful searchability for clothing (plus the issues that come with arranging meet ups).

I think it's about time we have a platform that lets us buy and sell clothes in a way where we can:

* search for what we need in more detail (size, brand, colour, material type, made-in or sustainability info if known)

* choose from reasonably priced shipping or local collection

* pay securely through a platform (for shipping and so that you don't have to worry about a buyer not showing up if they opt for local collection)

I want to make it easier to find good secondhand clothes without endless scrolling (and to sell on clothes that are taking up space in my closet but might be useful to someone else) so I'm working on building this, initially trialling it in southern Ontario: http://magpiemarket.ca

I'd love to know if you'd use it, and I'm super open to any feedback, features you think this kind of marketplace needs, etc!
