What's selling well/ in demand right now?

Options
I have a lot of stuff to sell/pass on.


I've seen other posters say that clothes aren't selling well - is there any way of telling what's selling well and what isn't??


I've not done this for a few years and completely out of touch...

    I've 16 years selling experience as a personal seller and I've found selling to be really slow this past year. Brand new clothes still tagged takes ages to shift on BIN as does brand new items not tagged. Found this applies to clothes and bags / purses.

    Cannot shift some brand new sealed limited edition vinyls either.

    You may be facing the problem of people thinking you are mis registered, even if you truly are selling off lots of your own unwanted but brand new items. I tend to avoid people registered as private sellers when they look like they are really businesses (buying to resell) and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

    I can see how it might come across. I'm Bipolar so on occasions I got a little crazy with my spending, never take off labels and when I'm well I seek what I've bought at a loss usually. Touch wood I'm finally learning now I'm earning less after being made redundant.

    I've been thinking of converting to a business account to boost income, given I've got 3467+ feedback I think I could do well, but not sure what to sell!

    If you want to make profit (as a business seller) you can filter on ebay sold listings and then filter further on categories, then order by highest
    However I am like Soolin i dont buy from private sellers that are really business sellers and dodging the system
    You're not your * could have not of * Debt not dept *
