Welcome to School Uniform Search
School Uniform Search was started with the intention of making the process easier for buying & selling school uniforms within the school community.
Questions
What is School Uniform Search?
School Uniform Search is a peer to peer marketplace where you can buy or sell school uniforms.
How is School Uniform Search different to other classifieds sites or online school shops?
Unlike classifieds sites, we offer a highly personalised, transparent marketplace that has been designed to find items quickly. We have also decided to build our site without the need for listing fees or annual fees as we don’t want school parents & caregivers paying for a listing that may not sell.

What are the fees for listing on School Uniform Search?
There are no fees for listing on School Uniform Search. We may look for sponsored and patrons to sustain the marketplace in the future but, for now, our aim is to keep the marketplace free for as long as possible.

We do prefer for you to use your own photos for your listings but also understand that not everyone is a photographer (including our founder). Check out Unsplash & Pexels if you need royalty-free images for your listing.
How does bartering/trading work on School Uniform Search?
Bartering, by it’s very nature, is messy & personal. How you value something, how to exchange things & the best way to complete a transaction are all difficult. The bartering/trading part of this marketplace is a joyful experiment in sharing your skills in a less-controlled way. If you’re brave, add a bartering listing (ensuring you add suggestions for items that would benefit your life).
What are the tax implications of bartering/trading?
Firstly, we recommend that you get professional tax advice around bartering. The IRS now requires barter exchanges to be reported as per the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982. Barter exchanges are considered taxable revenue by the IRS and must be reported on a 1099-B form. According to the IRS, “The fair market value of goods and services exchanged must be included in the income of both parties.
Other countries, though, do not have the reporting requirement that the U.S. does concerning proceeds from barter transactions, but taxation is handled the same way as a cash transaction. If one barters for a profit, one pays the appropriate tax; if one generates a loss in the transaction, they have a loss. Bartering for business is also taxed accordingly as business income or business expense. Many barter exchanges require that one register as a business.
I’ve got another question…
