Best way to sell clothes/shoes

Please can I have advice regarding the best way to sell clothes and shoes. Many years ago I used to sell via eBay, but now they've changed the payment method and the fees they charge, is there a better option? Is Vinted good?

Thank you in advance :)

I’ve had no joy with Vinted, but my niece buys and sells on there all the time. I feel that, as a slim 17 year old, the Vinted market is more for her, rather than middle aged ladies with childrens/size 16 clothes.

I've sold kids clothes on Vinted successfully but you arent supposed to do bundles so that's led to things selling very slowly. I've been disappointed in adult purchases as quality not as advertised; I won't use it again, I'll just try in local charity shops.

EBay isn’t anymore expensive than it used. In fact it’s slightly cheaper with managed payments.
There are usually offers on to reduce selling fees. This week it’s 80% off variable selling fees

I use vinted and it amazing I'm a middle aged size 16 and sell lots on there. I made £50 this week. I sold Matalan George and primark things and the odd warehouse and kaliko.

I upload a batch every few month and make about £75 each time. I bought 50 mail bags from eBay abs some plain documents enclosed (sticky pouches to put the labels in as this makes it super efficient to post) it got too much hassle cutting out the labels and sellotaping them on usually in the madness of breakfast time)

You need access to a printer to print Hermes labels they can not be printed in store. Yodel does not need a printer but it's easier to print the barcode. You need to locate the local Hermes and yodel drop of points. Some I do Royal Mail but it's not as efficient and not tracked.

i price thinks cheaply (eg £2 -5) and reduce after about 5 days if not sold.

I do a bundle discount so if you buy 2 items it's 5% off x3 10% off and 15% for 3 items. Some one bought 8 items for £17 (they got a bargain i got some cash!)

I take three pictures: front back and label (I would never buy anything if I can't see the label or can't see a picture of the whole item in one clear shot) I hang mine on a clothing rail to take pictures in daylight.

I've bought a speedo brand new with tags costume for £6 and a couple warehouse of dresses for holidays.

Any questions please ask.
