How to Sell Clothes on eBay

These are my tips for how I sell clothes on eBay. I have had great success with these tips and I want others to have the same success as I have. So I do hope that others will take these tips to heart.

1. Sizes/ Manufacturer

                This is most important when you are selling clothes. You must be very accurate when you are selling clothes. You must put down the exact size of each clothing item that you put up for sale on eBay. For example, list a shirt as a small, medium or large; but with a dress be a bit more detailed by giving the length, cut, bust size, etc. This can also be combined with this next item. It is also important though many tend to look over it. It is important that you include the manufacturer of the clothes. This is due to the fact that different manufacturers list their sizes differently. If one manufacturer lists the size as a medium, it could in reality be a large on someone else. So be sure to include the manufacturer as well as the size when you are listing clothes.

 

2. Photos

                This is also very important tip that many people overlook. It is one thing to describe clothing but it is another to have a picture that shows the detail. The saying that a picture is worth a thousand words, can indeed be true in this tip. A picture can capture the detail of the clothes that a mere description could not simply show. It also helps that pictures are one of the first things that a buyer sees when they are scrolling through the listings. So take a good picture, make sure the clothing item can be seen fully, good lighting and a clean background. But please do include a detailed description to go along with the photo.

3. Accurate Description

                Another tip is that if there are any tears, stains or flaws in the clothing, it should be listed in the description as well. Now this would mean that you might not have that many buyers but I have personally sold clothes on eBay that had slight tears in them but the buyer wanted to buy it anyway as they had confidence that they could fix the tears; which after they contacted me again, they did succeed. So be very accurate in your descriptions or else you will get negative reviews.

4. Pricing

                Pricing clothes can be difficult and it depends on many things. How much did the clothing cost you originally? What condition is it in? How old is it? Where did you buy it from? These are questions that you must ask yourself when you are listing clothing. For example, if you bought something at Forever21, do not make the price similar to that of Gucci or Prada. And the example can go in reverse, do not charge Forever21 prices for something that you bought from Gucci or Prada. You have to meet the price in the middle of being fair but also enough so that you are making money as well. So before you list your clothing item, be sure to answer the questions that I previously listed as well as compare prices to similar clothing on eBay.
