What condition should clothing be in to swap?

Freshly washed and free of stains, holes, or strong odours — think "would I be happy to try this on in a shop," not "technically wearable."

Do sizes work the same across different brands?

No — UK clothing sizing varies significantly by brand, so list the actual measurements (chest, waist, length) alongside the size label when you can, especially for outerwear and tailored pieces.

Is it worth swapping fast-fashion items or only quality pieces?

Both work, but higher-quality or barely-worn pieces (good stitching, natural fibres, recognisable brands) tend to get matched faster — fast-fashion basics do better bundled together (e.g. "3 tops, size M") than listed one at a time.

What's the best time to swap seasonal clothing?

List coats and knitwear a few weeks before the season turns, not mid-season when everyone's simultaneously trying to offload the same things and demand is low.

Can I swap clothing that doesn't fit anymore but still has tags on?

Yes, and it's worth explicitly flagging "BNWT" (brand new with tags) in your listing — these get matched fastest of any condition tier.
