Selling Baby Clothes Online

j0ann3

hiya, just wanted to add, i decided to de clutter after christmas and the baby clothes was an obvious place to start and i'm guessing we've made around £100 on baby clothes, maybe its the time of year, people have no money after christmas so they look to ebay for something cheap. I feel that you shouldn't be expecting much if your selling second hand, besides if the clothes were only sat in the attic surely even a .99p sale is worth it?

I buy baby bits on ebay however those that charge ridiculous postage, I don't even bother to look at their listings. I know that a t-shirt, trousers or skirt for an under 2 wont cost over £2 to post (I also sell) so I will only buy from sellers who charge a reasonable P&P (+ a bit extra for packaging).

cleopatra - I thought you meant there was a lot of feedback to steer clear of baby clothes - sorry, misread your post !

I think car boots are great for selling baby clothes, and I would personally buy from there due to no postage. I totally agree with comments made that fair postage is the absolute key on ebay. I am fed up with paying £4.99 for an item to be sent that costs 90p.

Discount for more than one item is good, and I think job lots sell well online as it is normally pick up only.

As an aside, I have had things listed on ebay that havent sold, and have then sold on relisting the items. So dont be put off by 'failure' - keep listing

haha thats ok.

Yes was going to collect the unsold items on ebay and save for a car boot in the summer, vests do not seem to want to sell on ebay, but whole outfits seem to be snapped up.

Many sellers do this across the board to make their money and get round paying fees. It's totally against the rules, but most people seem to get away with it.

does anyone here actually specialise in buying womens and baby clothing?

my wife always sells our daughters old baby clothers via eBay and has only ever failed to sell one bundle, but we think that was due to the amount of clothes (100+ items) so maybe people don't want massive amounts of clothes in the bundles. Obviously the more clothes there are the more postage costs are, so that may also put buyers off.

I think if you keep the bundles to say a max of 25 items then you should have no problem selling them
