how do u list your clothes ? do u start the price higher ? the clthes are for a 18 month girl so i know ppl wont want to spend a lot on them

I have bought loads on ebay recently for my little boy (15months) and have struggled to get them cheaply. Every time I start to bid on something the price goes up a lot. So I would have thought you wouldnt have a problem. Just take good individual pics or sell them as a job lot. Start the price at 0.99p that way you dont pay a lot for the listing fee. Good luck!:T

Make sure they are Ironed and displayed very well put them in small bundles and take lots of photos If I am selling a bundle I take 1 picture of the items together (not just piled but layed out nicely)1 idividual pic of every item and a close up pic of any nice detail like embroidery or pictures.
Use auctiva so that your extra pics are free.
You should not have a problem with that age group its the newborn and 0-3 that is difficult to sell for more than the start price because everyone wants nice new stuff and they also tend to have lots already as gifts as long as its not cheap brands like primark ect they should sell quite well

good luck

I have a very successful Ebay account selling purely childrens clothing. There is still a market out there if sold correctly.
Here are a few tips:

Single out excellent items. Any brand new/this season/popular makes and sell these seperatly.

All the rest, sell in bundles of age groups

Take the best posible photos you can, and lots of them, with close up of details. (use hosting website for free photos)

IRON everything prior to photographing

Include brand names in title

I hope this helps you.
