Selling on eBay or Vinted, would you...

Sell something that was relatively upmarket brand ( a dress) which was unworn, but which you'd repaired, as it had a tiny moth hole in it.

AND of course state that you had mended the hole in the description.

I don't know if it's worth listing it or taking to a charity shop.

Dress was about £80 and I'd ask about £15.

What brand? You can try but I woudnt expect to get £15 for it on Vinted

It's The White Company. (Not White Stuff.)

Wool dress, Never worn, one tiny moth hole.

I've ebayed a lot but their fees are so high now.

I agree that everyone on Vinted is looking for cheap stuff.

Yes it’s worth a shot. I have a shop on eBay selling secondhand clothing and things with holes/issues DO sell but I make certain I list this in capitals right at the end of the title (eg red dress size x brand x SMALL HOLE) and again in the listing, and make sure you picture it honestly too. A run of the mill primark top, no way, but people are willing to pay for good quality with minor issues.

Interested in this thread?

Worth picturing the hole next to a penny too so people can gauge size. Now you’ve said the brand, absolutely. I’ve sold White Company with both holes and minor stains x

Great , thanks both!

It was a 'bad buy' for me (too long) and I have never worn it.

Hole is about 3mm across but I'm good with a needle.

I buy and sell quite a lot on Vinted and as others have said as long as you're honest and include photos then absolutely give it a go. If it doesn't sell you can always lower the price if needed.
