Another question (sorry) am I over worrying this?

Very new to selling (first few items), I am selling a used babygro, and bidding has now gone higher than I paid for it, which seems insane to me.

I have posted a clear photo, and described the item as in a good used condition, so it has no marks, stains or holes, but it has been worn and washed and you can tell that it has.

Now I am worried that buyer will complain that it is not worth the money and give me a neg feedback. I only started it at 25p thought I might a a pound if I was lucky, I just wanted to start with some really cheap things until I found my feet.

Am I over worring this? I honestly don't think my nerves can cope with selling, it's all so stressful.

so long as you have described all the faults there is no need to worry. Sometimes buyers get carried away with bidding especially with a low start - the bargain low start sticks in their mind and they continue to bid.

good luck and don't worry

If it goes completely nuts, you can always forestall buyers' remorse by throwing another one in the parcel. The buyer will be chuffed about the freebie and forget that they paid 19 quid for a used babygro.

keep calm, deep breaths, it will be fine!
It's amazing what people will buy on ebay.
Just remember not everyone has easy access to real shops and breathe

and some people get easily carried away!

Thanks people, it sold for £8.33, over twice what I paid for it . I will try and chill over the whole selling experience.
