Selling maternity clothes on EBay - individually or in bundle(s)?

8 replies

ZamMummy · 13/04/2008 22:53

Although a veteran EBay buyer, I've never actually sold anything before. Can some seasoned pros recommend whether I'd be better off selling my maternity clothes individually or in one/more than one bundle? I bought them over 2 pregnancies, all on EBay, mostly in bundles so they're used but in VGC.
If bundles are a good idea, should I split them into winter/summer clothes? or into tops/bottoms? or both?
I don't have much time to do all this and want to get as much money as poss (obviously) - 5/6 weeks is max tho could leave some parcels ready to post with my long-suffering mother . And what about Buy It Now - is it worth it?
Thanks for your help xx

I would do small bundles, unless you have anything really spectacular, or designer, where you might get more for individual items

I found buy-it-now worked well for me recently, but I was impatient and jsut wanted some money back rather than necessarily the highest price

Also you msut take govd photos and be enthusiastic but hones tin your descriptions

I would go for individually personally. If you use something like Auctiva (don't be scared, it's easy to work out), you can add as many photos as you like for free. Much quicker and easier than descriptions. Crop your photos so the auction loads up more quickly.

Possibly bundle up 2/3 similar tops or sets, but I'd leave it at that. If you list them all to finish on the same day, people will probably buy more than one item at a time anyway.

I'd list a couple of things first to get the hang of it, then try and do most of them together.

BIN - I wouldn't bother personally.

I sold a maternity bundle, and wished I'd sold the stuff separately.

Bundles are worth doing if you're very very time poor and more bothered about getting rid of the stuff than maximising profit. You'll get more money by listing separately.

If you bought in bundles originally, you might even make a profit overall.
