Ebay question

I was thinking of trying to sell some clothes on Ebay for the first time. I looked on the site and it seems like everything is a "Buy it Now" sale. Is that the way most of the clothing sells?

am thinking of selling a group of items that are the same size and wondering if I should even bother. any suggestions?

adding a "buy it now" costs only 25 cents, so a lot of sellers like to add that to their auctions. if you do go that route, I highly recommend that you click on the "immediate payment required" option. sometimes buyers will use the buy it now feature, but not pay right away, which is annoying!

you're probably better off selling used clothes in lots, unless they are designer clothes.

Yes, sell it in lots. It cuts down pictures, selling fees, time & postage.

If you wanted to add the Buy It Now, make it a high price, but still attainable.

I don't always do BIN with my auctions, I got a bunch of bids on my last lot with no BIN.

Re: Ebay question

I personally don't sell anything as BIN because you are limiting your funds. Sometimes items have sold for even more than if I were to do a BIN.

I sell mostly clothing, clothes will sell if they are name brand!
