Top tips on buying clothes on Ebay.

[TotallyAddictedToLurking]

Can you give any tips on how you look for clothes on Ebay?

Do you search for specific items?

How do you all get the bargains that people talk about?

Not sure if this will be much help but when looking I search for my fav shops or shops I cant really afford new I.e all saints and my size so All Saints 8.

Busiest times are Sun evenings so if you're a buyer things will prob be most expensive then.

I dont expect to get everything at 99p so have an amount in your head that you're willing to go to and stick to it!

Quite a few places have ebay outlet shops where you can get fab bargains I.e fcuk and dune.

Search for makes you like, and for which you know the sizing. Read the advice on how to spot fakes if you're looking for big name items (although the best bargains tend to be with the less well known makes). Save sellers if they're listing a lot of things you like.

Ask questions about the condition and ask for measurements if need be. Don't bid straight away (unless you want to do this to get rid if a "buy it now" offer). For auction items, decide on the maximum you'd be prepared to pay, then set up a sniping bid on www.justsnipe.com so that you don't run up the price by incremental bidding against others.

Try mis spelling a certain brand/designer I once got a Karen Millen dress at a low price because it was listed as Karren Milen.
