Where to sell clothes? Ebay, Vinted, Depop, car boot sales, etc.

Justgettingstarted

Hi,

I have sold quite a few items on ebay this year but when it comes to clothes I am not sure if ebay is the best option or not.

While I have sold clothes on ebay, I feel I could be getting more and seems that people prefer to buy clothes from Vinted or Depop.

Which is the best option and what are the differences and peoples experiences?

I have looked into Vinted and appear to need a printed label and no auction option. While Depop appears to need slick profiles with photos of you wearing the item and would appear to be more work for someone like myself who doesnt naturally take photos or outfits, occasions and hates the camera.

Thanks for any suggestions, tips, etc.

Have you tried a dressmakers dummy to model clothes (if you have a lot especially if smaller size)?

We have one and the pictures look better for it (just my opinion).

We sell on ebay.

I guess it's down yo your target market and where they're likely to be found.

I’ve been using Vinted…. But of a hassle having to print labels but no extortionate fees!!
Ebay Will get the bundles of items that won’t sell there on auction format
anything left after that will go to carboot as you rarely get more that 50p an item in London for clothes unless high brand
then clothier for what’s left which isn’t normally a lot!

I raised the question of eBay-v-Vinted some months ago

my main questions were regarding Postage options, use of PayPal, when you get paid out, & fees.
I've stuck with eBay & Royal Mail. I'm paid within a couple of days.
