Any decent alternatives to Ebay?

I am having a massive clear out of womens clothes accesories skincare etc.
After 6 weeks on Ebay I'm just not getting the views.
It is decent stuff I'm selling - Reiss, LKB, Jaeger, Hobbs, Laura Ashley, all either BNWT or in pristine condition sizes 12/14 with very low starting prices.
I've had a look at vinted but it seems very much aimed at young people , rather than mature women.
Any ideas for alternatives or suggestions to what I can do to improve?
Thanks. Meg.

There are Hobbs and Laura Ashley for sale on Vinted I would think it would do better on there than ebay. I have been selling on Ebay for years but I think it is going down hill now.

Vinted is much better than eBay for selling clothes. All those brands sell well on there. And Vinted appeals to all age groups - not just young people!

I’m 67 and having been an avid eBay used for 25 years, I tend to buy and sell more on Vinted nowadays. The brands you’ve mentioned do sell well on Vinted but I think you have to be prepared to take much lower prices than you might get on eBay. I’m in the middle of a huge clearout and the prices Ive ended up accepting for some clothing items like Sahara and Grizas have made me wince a bit, but I try to tell myself thst if I wasn’t selling things on Vinted I would be giving them to charity or going to a boot sale, so anything I get on Vinted has got to be better.

EBAY has gone slow in all categories. I sell some small antiques - very little is selling. They've tinkered with categories too much. I've only just started using Vinted for children's clothing eg Boden, John Lewis, Next etc and prices have to be very low. Facebook groups can be OK, but watch for scammers. So I then finally donate to charity and gift aid when I've had enough of the bags in the hall!

Vinted is worth looking at. It’s very easy to list things and after years of eBay, I switched to Vinted and will never go back. As you list your item and get to the box to put the price in, it shows you similar items (same brand etc), which helps to pitch the price right.
