I'm short of cash and looking to make some extra money. Have some clothes I'd like to sell but wondering if it's financially viable, I mean I don't want all the hassle of posting and packaging and so on if I'm going to make £1 or £2 per item.
Just looking for any experiences.

I've sold over 100 items and my balance is sitting at £658. I just buy 100 packing bags in various sizes from Amazon and wack them in their. You can use royal mail parcel collect so you don't have to go to the post office. I use EVRI cos I can see the shop from my house. Thinking of switching to eBay tho as I have some more expensive stuff I think would benefit from auction rather than buy it now prices.

I've sold things like Dublin River Boots (not new), a Gudren sjoden dress and a Cos coat for £30+

Also non designer handbags for about £15. I think the £1 - £2 things are only kids clothes or very cheap to begin with clothes.

Yes but you need to upload lots of items at once to help your items be seen. It all adds up.
I just sold a coat sitting in back of wardrobe from next for £20.

You don’t pay the postage. Buy some black plastic postal bags - i bought them on Amazon. then you take the packages to the lockers/ shops for whatever delivery company the purchaser has chosen. You won’t make a fortune but it all adds up. I have just sold several brand new/ worn once jumpers from Primark for £5 each.

Honestly I gave up on it. People want to pay pennies for things and a lot of the buyers are really annoying.

To make a lot of sales you have to have a variety of post options which is a nightmare as I was having to go to 3 separate places to send the parcels that people had paid a couple of quid for.

Primark, supermarket and shein stuff is around the £1 to £2 mark. Most highstreet stuff sells at around £5. Better highstreet brands up to around £20. List a batch of stuff in one go on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday. If its not sold with a couple of weeks, re-list it

I think it depends what brands your selling.

You will generally only make £1-2 per item (there are exceptions of course).

But that's £1-2 per item you wouldn't have had otherwise...

I bulk buy postage bags from eBay which makes it all considerably cheaper and easier
