selling on ebay

I don't tend to bother selling clothes as they don't fetch much and it's too much effort. I do sell my old bags though, made £96 on Sunday. :cool:

It's hit and miss totally. Some things sell and things you would expect to, don't!

Sounds like maybe it is going the way of carboot sales - people looking and not buying or wanting something for next to nothing.

The idea that anything will sell has long gone, consumers generally are much more savvy about where they spend their money.

It is of course also ebays express intention to move away from the small sellers flogging off unwanted items and to a much more corporate venue with large names running virtual shopping malls. Just look at the problems we smaller sellers face with paypal required on items that are collected..a nightmare!

Come and read some of the threads on the ebay forum (follow the link in my sig).

Thanks everyone!!

Any suggestions where to sell gold jewellery - not exactly Tiffany's stuff but don't think I'd get offered much if I took it to a jewellers or pawnshop...

Really appreciating all the good advice x

You could sell it for scrap gold - I have never sold jewellery on ebay. If it isn't new people aren't interested. At a car boot you might flog it but you will get next to nothing for it.

LydiaSophia i'm sorry but you are wrong - I sold a Laura Lees dress I picked up for £25 for £35 and had people *fighting* over a very old cyberdog top.

How is LydiaSophia wrong? Her post is in response to a question specifically about jewellery and is not the same as your experience of selling a dress and a toy. Different things sell in different fashions on ebay, quirky clothes can do very well where as jewellery is sometimes very hard to shift .
