Default Selling ladies clothes on eBay

I decided to clean out my wardrobe over the easter break last year and found ALOT of clothes I no longer wore.

I was initially going to throw them out but a friend of mine told me that you can actually sell clothes on eBay and people will buy them.

Ranging from trackies to dresses, I listed all my items.

Guess how much I made?

Nearly $350 for clothes that were just going to be thrown away or donated!

Does anyone know what items are hot on eBay in the womens fashion department? Eg; should I also sell shoes?

My partner tends to sell a lot unwanted gifts like perfumes and accessories that are no longer needed, whether it be because the event they were bought for has since passed or because they were unwanted gifts from christmas presents.

For example;
  1. Ear rings
  2. Necklaces
  3. Handbags
  4. Shoes
  5. Perfumes

Just sold some of my vast collection of handbags for a nifty little $200!

They were all old and out of fashion anyway!

Handmade gifts are almost always a hit. If you have some extra supplies, put them on eBay. And you'll be surprised how people loved them.

I used to have a garage sale at home when a friend introduce me to eBay.
At first i thought that it was a smart idea.
But little did i learned that i will get more money selling my item on eBay.
Now i'm earning not that much but more than enough to buy new stuffs.

Yep selling stuff that's just going to be thrown away is a great way to earn some extra cash. I find that if I buy second hand kids clothes off the net i save alot of money too! We have 3 kids so ebay is a god send, we can sell and buy stuff on there and just about break even! This site also has some good second hand baby stuff: Bubby Seconds - Home

I always worry that buying kids clothes online will contain some nasty virus or similar problem.

Are the clothes you buy in good condition and clean? I know you can always wash them, but I worry!

I just got a whole bunch of old bikinis form a friend (she is really wealthy and has heaps of stuff) and I am wondering if you think they would sell?

I have already taken the pictures and was thinking of just trying to get $10 bucks each.
