Better to sell items like Boden childrens clothing in batches or individually?

I need to sell a lot of items quickly due to an imminent move overseas. I've never sold clothes on eBay before.

Would you recommend selling in batches (e.g 3 tops together - not talking bulk buys), or individually? All higher quality clothing, such as Boden, Gap etc

I think you need to be ending items between 8pm and 9pm, most of my items are listed on a sunday for 7 days so they finish sunday night (i always get better prices on sunday evenings), my listings are very similar to yours, here's one on my private account (i have 2 accounts but dh seems to have taken over the other one with his chana and antiques) Grin.

I'm instrested in buying it in bulk to sell but most of my items i pick up from boot sales (the dress above cost me 50p), its hard for me to make much proffit on e-bay now as the fee's are so high, Dh is also trading on e-bay and struggling to make anything Sad, in may the fee's are going up again which may push me and dh off of e-bay Sad.

Ending times are good to know. Though that means I need to be super organised - or pay yet more ebay fees to end at a specific time.

It's the Paypal fees that get me. I issued a partial refund yesterday and they took fees off the refund! So the buyer didn't get the amount I thought they were going to.

I'll PM you re the bulk buying

fanjolina - are you sure PayPal took fees OFF the refund. When I have refunded with PayPal, they have refunded the PayPal fee as well.

Fanjolina, the paypal 'fee' that you saw was them refunding you the fee you had paid on the bit you were refunding. IYSWIM.

Oh, that's good - not such a rip off then!
