i was a crazy mad ebayer - selling to survive and pay debts... then 1 yr ago we sold up and left uk and i dont need to live that way anymore - it was fun and hard work and i miss it in a way but dont miss the stress of seeing if things sold or not! some months we just scraped by on my ebay income... selling stuff around the house

well done. wish I could leave the UK.

and looks like this month I will be selling like mad to try and live on the earnings!

what happens if you cancel them and put them as put wrong price or something?

then do a new listing this weekend? will you still have to pay the 90p?

Yes I still have to pay fee as I think insertion fee becomes applicable as soon as listing is started irrespective of you cancel it later....;)

I may be wrong though:o

What items of clothing sell well on ebay?

I'm a novice at ebaying (never sold any items to date) but have put back on sale branded items like Boden, White Stuff, Monsoon that I purchased from there that generally seem to sell well.

When I was dropping off other stuff to local charity shops, I speculatively hoped I'd be able to buy a few bargain decent items to pop onto ebay, too, for a bit of beer money but found them either very expensive or they had a paucity of quality clothes. Apparently, clothes are the hardest items to sell on ebay.

FrugalLina - thanks for the advanced birthday greetings for next week :j

VALM - yes it'll be the first 100 listings starting at 1.00 or more that will be free fri-mon. I will aim to use as many of as possible for my higher value items and keep my 100 x 99p relists for any other time, so that would give me 200 free

Idlesaver - you could cancel these listings with an error and request a credit back but its up to ebay to decide and is quite uncomonnon, personally i'd just leave the auctions running now.

BigAunty clothes is one of the hardest catagory's yes
Name branded like those mentioned will sell well as well as Next, Jane Norman and i've always found larger ladies clothes go really well too in particular Evans. Although you might run into problems with selling allowences, you will only be allowed to list 3 designer items every 30 days (not quite sure which ones would be classed as designer). Also if you are buying to sell on even from a charity shop you are going to be classed as a business in ebay's eyes.
Finding less and less bargains at charity shops these days (which is probably a good thing as i have wayyy too many clothes). But prices there are certainly way more expensive than they used to be. Last week i spotted a matalan top that my mum would have liked orginally £12 still had labels including the reduced to £2 sticker. Charity shop label wanted £6 for it, 4 quid more than Matalan originally sold it for:eek:

I have prepped 8 new listings today so have reached todays target and now have 30 stored and ready to upload
