Is Ebay the only option?

[LookItsMeAgain]

I am doing a clear out of clothes and shoes that I no longer want/need and I'd like to make a bit of money back from these items. They are all in very good condition and up to now I've been bringing these cleared out items to a local charity shop. I will still make a donation of some items (still in good condition) to the charity shop but other things I'd like to recoup some money.

Now here is my question - if I was in the UK I'd be able to use Depop and Vinted and Ebay as options to sell these items, but as I'm in Ireland, is Ebay the only online location where I can sell these items?
I'd rather sell on a website like Vinted but they don't allow (geographically) people from Ireland to set up on their site (which they are completely allowed to do as it is their site).

Where would you recommend that I sell my wares? Should I try to set up a site of my own?? Is that expensive to do? How do I do it??? Sorry for these questions but I really do need to declutter and any suggestions you may have would be really appreciated.

Not sure how successful it is for clothes but I've bought and sold bits and bobs on adverts.ie - like kitchen stuff, kids toys etc...
Maybe have a look and see if there's clothes on it.

Depop have an Irish site, dd sells things and buys all the time. I have the pleasure of posting her parcels and they are always to Irish addresses.

When you sell something, you can get large envelopes from the post office, with a flat fee of €6 to anywhere in Ireland if the contents are under 1kg. There's a larger box option as well.

I would tend to opt for eBay with clothes now as they now have zero fees on second hand clothes, therefore you get all of the payment (remember to take into account postage and be realistic as to what size/weight it will be when packed - small things might fit into ‘large letter’ and larger / heavier things may be better via a courier depending on where they would fit in Royal Mail / Parcel Force package sizes

Vinted seemed to be the go to thing for clothing, as fees would have been less than eBay’s full fee rate

However specific brands & types of clothing may sell better one way or another

Donedeals might do clothes, facebook marketplace or gumtree.

Facebook groups like What She Wore, Preloved Funky and Original Clothing, Closet Carousel
Postage is good at the minute with An Post removing the weight limit on their prepaid envelopes and boxes.

Thank you all - I'll suss these all out over the weekend. Many thanks.

Ebay has free selling fees but be aware you still have to pay final valuation fee on sold amount and postage. This why the ebay advert is misleading.

Zero fees on second hand clothing is zero final valuation fee

Standard categories have ‘zero listing fees’ which means that you do get charged ‘final value fees’, but for second hand clothing it includes zero final listing fee

As per the attached screenshots -
clothing with zero fee, and some photography gear with final value fees at an 80% promotion discount

I buy and sell clothes on Depop and Adverts.ie. I find Adverts better, there's a lot more time wasters on Depop.
I've also sold some French brand clothes on Vestiaire, it opens up a wider market and Vestiaire look after the postage process.

Reviving this thread.... Is vinted now available in Ireland? I thought so and I just created an account but it won't allow me to edit my profile to location in Ireland. It's defaulted to UK location for me (and GBP) on the app profile. Anyone know how it works?

How do you work out the postage cost ?
I find postage costs - eg returns to UK companies prohibitive.

I'll report back once I've figured it out. Agree re the prohibitive postal costs, but I think this seems to be covered by Vinted.
To answer my own question, I just deleted my existing profile and set up a new account with location set to Ireland. Didnt realise it had defaulted to the UK first time around!

Vinted give a ‘small/medium/large’ choice when listing with the specifics of what they mean varying between the different categories. Sellers should click each for the extra information to understand which would be suitable for the item

eBay have stated that they will introduce an eBay managed postage option in the future which sounds like it will be a similar arrangement

Currently though with eBay it’s up to the seller to work it out. When you create a listing there will be ‘recommended’ options
For new sellers I recommend weighing/measuring the item and then boxing/wrapping it to weigh/measure it again
Packaging is heavier than people think, and even when you’ve judged it can easily tip over to the next size/weight category

(I’m in England, so mine is mainland UK)
I prefer Royal Mail as my default, but when it gets to parcel sizes the cost rises rapidly unless it is very light
Couriers such as Evri here generally start their minimum weight at 1kg which covers a wide range of Royal Mail parcel price ranges
Therefore I’ll tend to use RM for up to large letter then couriers for bigger, heavier - and fragiles

A friend has a shop so I often take her delivery packaging. This is heavy cardboard, which I can then use for fragiles - this would be expensive via Royal Mail but for most items stays easily within the courier rates - it’s a win/win on reuse/recyling and for ensuring the contents arrive intact
