    my first thought was over 50 bags for £7 would probably be worth a go (not for me personally) but then I scrolled back up and saw (i think ) you are only getting ONE bag for £7??! Def not.:eek:

    Weren't there reports of people being nicked for using hooks to grab bags of clothes from the charity bins at supermarkets? Maybe this is where they all end up?

    Ew no, not worth it when you can't see the items, they could be in any condition!

    One lot sold in 9 days, so not a particularly quick selling item..

    True but it is a bag of clothes, no effort put in to source the stock so nothing to lose leaving it listed. 1 sales every 9 days is better than 0 sales in 9 days :)

    Except feedback when the buyer is disappointed what they get.

    Just looking at that photo I can smell "tip" all over them.

    Also it's fee circumvention to advertise it like that.

    As per Crowqueen, I can't see any seller lasting long selling sight unseen goods. The first person to get something tatty or unsaleable is going to hammer the stars and feedback- then bye bye account.

    If you are new to ebay you really need to consider the buyer more as they are the ones who decide ultimately whether you survive on ebay or not.
