Clothes sales aren't great on ebay at the moment, or is it just me?

    I put a pair of trainers in the shoe bank yesterday. Was really tempted to list them on ebay (as above ;)) but I didn't think "minging old pair of trainers" would look good amongst my usual stuff if people were selecting "view seller's other items." :p

    So 21 item listed in total, sold one with a best offer couple of days ago, half of others have 1-2 watchers(but mostly one:() and one dodgy bid.
    Got a lovely bargain today though myself, so pretty happy lol:)

    I never thought about the Easter break having an effect but then I never think about things like this which is probabley why I don't do great either.

    It is deffinately quiet though not much doing. Doing quite well on one or two things generally makes up for no or low bids. Sorry missyg I know how that feels this happened to me quite recently and I have have commented generally that Ebay seems more like hard work and less fun that it used to be:mad:

    helsbells, I know what you mean re hard work and less fun, the same for me. I enjoyed selling big time a year ago or so, but today I do it just because I want to get rid of some stuff and get some extra cash. So many more impossible buyers out there:(. And gonna be even tougher when new feedback system comes in.

    Definately just you! I am shocked at how good sale have been this week. I have pushed up the prices purposely. I am really happy as I am in need of the money at the moment, and have been making quite alot on clothes. My best sale today was a handbag I bought for £15... used it for 2 months straight (but its still in fab condition), and now I just sold it for £18 :-) really really happy!!!!! :):):)

    Good good! ~~~~ Sending good ebay vibes to you ~~~~ :o
    I am still very happy. I know its only £18, but I only expected a fiver hehe:D.
    I just hope my ebay luck stays with my for the next week or so while these items finish!
    I find Ebay changes from week to week, sometimes things do well, sometimes they don't... god knows why! x
