New to selling - any advice?

[faverolles]

I have some baby clothes gathered up, and would like some advice for a complete selling newbie please!

hi there. i would suggest splitting it up into bundles. divide them by age, gender, then into sets: e.g. summer/winter, vests&grows/tops&bottoms. I've found they sell better this way. any good outfits, (designer outfits etc) sell separatly.

Make sure you note the fabric of the items, where they are from (Mothercare/
Tesco etc). Also: note any marks, damage etc. Ive found lots of people are very picky thorough when checking baby clothes bought on ebay.

Weigh the item sets before listing, and you can check on the postoffice website how much postage will cost (don't forget to include extra, say £1, for packing materials. You dont want to end up loosing money.

Also I would wait for a free listing weekend, then it doesn't cost you anything to put them up on ebay and no charge if you need to relist.

I hope this helps

Have bought and sold a few bundles of baby clothes on ebay. I prefer bundles to individual items - much less hassle.

I'd bundle them into season apprpriate bundles (ie summer or winter clothes) and into sizes.

I'd say take loads of photos, include a description of each item, point out any stains or faults with the items.

Offer reasonable postage, it's usually quite pricey to send bundles so make sure you state it's free to collect. (If you want to)

Low starting price, and answer any questions you get.

Good luck
