Our goal is to create a curated shopping experience featuring quality brands, timeless pieces and well-presented garments that offer value to both sellers and buyers.

Items must be tagged using the Zellr system provided by Aqua Living.

Designer replicas, counterfeit items and unauthorised copies are strictly prohibited.

Sales & Pricing

Sellers determine their own pricing and are responsible for ensuring prices are entered correctly into Zellr.

Aqua Living reserves the right to review pricing prior to items being placed on the shop floor and may recommend price adjustments where items are considered significantly over or under market value.

Any pricing changes will be discussed with the seller before items are displayed for sale.

Due to the nature of pre-loved and consignment goods, Aqua Living does not offer refunds, exchanges or change of mind returns on any pre-loved purchases.

Customers are encouraged to carefully inspect all items prior to purchase.
