eBay newbie - advice please!

Hi! I have lots of maternity and baby clothes to sell. I'm assuming I should wait till the right season , e.g. maternity clothes are summer ones so list in the spring? Is it better to sell Next, JL clothes individually rather then as a bundle? Buy it Now or auction? Is it better to sell in January when people are at home and skint rather than December when everyone is Christmas shopping? I thought there was a beginner's guide to eBay selling on Mumsnet but can't find it, so apologies if am being dense! I have read about ending in the evening - lateish?? Thanks for any advice!

best thing you can do is look at completed listings to see what your items would achieve.

I always advise buy it now with best offer with free p&p, if under 1kg it will only cost £2.98 with Hermes and you have proof of delivery which you will need, take good photos with plain background and no surrounding clutter, add all measurements, only sell good brands - ie supermarket baby clothes will never make any money.

Thanks! Do Hermes collect from your house?

yes - or you can pay 20p less and drop off at a collection shop/point if you have one local.
