Ebay or Vinted now for clothes?

Is anyone still selling clothes on ebay? I used to and have excellent feedback but I've not sold anything for years. I did try Vinted but the T&Cs seem increasingly complicated, and got fed up with buyers trying to make silly offers and also trying to scam me saying items hadn't arrived.

Any advice?

I've a few good quality clothes from Jigsaw, Boden etc that I want to sell.

Ive sold on both. Prefer vinted for clothing, ebay for cosmetics.

Honestly, it wouldn't occur to me to buy or sell clothes on eBay. Vinted would be my go-to. You do get silly offers but you just ignore them. I've never had anyone claim something didn't arrive.

Thanks. I'm old. I used ebay years ago before Vinted was around.

I had one Vinted buyer who drew up a query because some clothes had not arrived. She was hot off the blocks - didn't wait long enough- and I went to the bother of producing the cert of posting. She didn't even inform me when they did arrive.

Has anything changed? In the old days of using ebay the money went straight into your account. On Vinted you have to wait for the buyer to confirm they have arrived.

I’ve used EBay to buy and sell for years. Ebay format has changed in the last year or so but I like it. I find Vinted a bit of a jumble sale.

I like vinted prices are usually cheaper and if I buy something that doesn't fit I can usually sell it on so it's not such a risk. Twice this week I've sold on two things that didn't fit for similar price, so I'm just paying postage/fees. Ebay you can at least send back if you buy from a business seller but the prices aren't as low.

I find buyers on vinted expect very low prices. It gets to the point where I'd rather donate to charity than have the hassle of packing, posting and waiting for fees.

I went off vinted as they didn't have royal mail as an option to post items without going through a lot of palaver. I live rural and the best option for me is a local post office, not Evri or other couriers.

You can exclusively post via Royal Mail on Vinted (I have a friend who does this). You can also post EVRI items at quite a lot of Post Offices.

I list items for sale on Vinted and Ebay. I tend to sell more on Vinted (as I think it is easier for people to bundle items together). If my items have not sold after a month, I re-list. People do sometimes make quite low offers - but if I don’t want it then there is no point hanging on to it.
