My young, wild and single days have caught up with me, now I must pay my eBay fees

It's now 2:00 and I've spent the last 2 hours cleaning my wardrobe and boy am I angry with myself.

Items I've worn and going to the charity shop: 37 :A
Items I've not worn and going to the charity shop: 10 :A
Items I've not won and new with labels\tags: 30 :eek: :mad: :eek:

Total cost of new items when I bought them:





£513
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:o

This could pay 200%ish of my current debt, or 1/5 of the car I want to buy!

None of it's designer stuff, all TopMan, Burtons, Gap, Debenhams and some random c**p. I'm dead miffed of with myself for spending money on all this rubbish!


£10 Next Denim Jacket
£10 Burton 18
£22 Burtons
£22 Next Trousers
£20 White cotton
£18 Vest
£18 Jumper
£35 jumper
£30 Jumper
£10 Jean
£30 Bootfit
£10 Jeans *
£30 Bootfit the same!
£30 Bootfit the same but different colour :rolleyes:
£10 Bootfit the same but in a sale :rolleyes:
£30 Jeans
£30 Cord Jeans
£30 501 Jeans
£10 Shirts
£15 Weird shirt
£25 Velvety weird shirt
£50 5 pretty cool shirts, one with tie (sealed m&s\burtons\debenhams)
£10 Really, really weird shirt
£8 2 Tie Packs

I'm hoping to sell this stuff on eBay. I'd be living in a dream world if I thought I could sell it all and sell it all for even 50%.

Are any specific tips you have for clothes? or any suggestion or shifting this stuff?

Any suggestions or comments appreciated.

    To sell on ebay..first check out completed auctions for similair items, ie check out all completed auctions for 501 jeans. That will give you an idea of price.

    For the auction itself take a very good photo of the actual garment, list it accurately and mention whether it has tags, is in sealed packet or whatever. If the item is still tagged but old, mention that as well.

    Check out your likely auction fees before you set a start price, make sure you don't come out with a loss (it has happened!). Also be prepared for your items to be bought at opening price, so start the auction at the lowest amount you are prepared to take.

    Good luck

    once you've found what similar items went for, use the above to figure out how much the fees were!/ are going to be!
