I've purchased several things from eBay over the past few years including phones, handbags, books - mostly functional stuff. I've never bought clothes as I prefer new items rather than used, plus trying to search through the thousands of items up for sale can be a little overwhelming! Recently my wardrobe has been fit to burst - I keep buying new clothes but there's no where to put them, as I'm quite reluctant to throw anything out. Usually most of my old/unwanted clothes will go to charity shops, unfortunately I've no younger sisters to donate them to. Then I saw a friends post on FaceBook, she'd decided to sell a few of her unwanted items online & I said I'd give it a go too!It's not too expensive to list items on eBay, with insertion fees of usually around 25c per item. You can post 3 or 4 pictures which is handy, plus you can set a price that has to be paid for postage, on top of the cost of the item. It's a slow business though; I've listed 10 things over the past 2 weeks & only one has sold, a pair of Diesel jeans that I held onto in the hope that one day I'd fit into them...sadly my bum is never going to shrink to the required proportions ever again. I made a small profit & this weekend listing was free, so I posted a few purses & handbags that I no longer use. It's great to think someone else might enjoy them, instead of them sitting in the bottom of my wardrobe, plus the extra cash is handy these days!
If you've any tips or stories about eBay selling, let me know.
