Sell Gently Used Clothing On Ebay

If you are moving out or cleaning your closets, you can make a little extra cash by selling your unwanted clothes on eBay. Simply set up an account and begin earning money off your gently used clothing. Be honest and specific in your descriptions of your items. As long as your clothing is quality, you should have no trouble finding a buyer.


Instructions


1. Sort through your wardrobe to decide which clothing items you would like to sell. You will have the best luck selling clothing that is only gently used and still in good condition. Distribute your items into categories like boys, girls, men's and women's. Within these groups, categorize the items into piles by size and season. Knowing exactly what you are selling will help you describe the items to potential buyers on the web.


2. Photograph the clothes you wish to sell. Spread a blanket for a background and lay the clothes out on top. Make sure that as much as the item is seen as possible, including accessories and details. Shine a light on the item if the lighting is dim. When you are finished, upload the photos onto your computer.


3. Visit the eBay website and create your own account. The website will guide you through the steps to get started. Beginning an account is free of charge and will allow you to post your clothing items for sale.


4. Click on the "Sell" button on the eBay homepage. The website will guide you through the steps you need to post your items. Enter a title that is descriptive but not too long. Try to come up with words potential buyers might use to search for your items. When you describe what you are selling it is important to be honest about the quality and details of each item.


5. Price your used clothing items for the auction. Determine the quality of each product and take into account any wear or tear before setting the price. Set your shipping rate at the same amount as it costs for you to ship it. Once you receive payment for an item, ship it promptly to the buyer.
