It’s ridiculously easy to sell your clothes on eBay. From tips on how to create the perfect listing to what to do after you've made the sale, it’s all here. You’ll be turning your threads into cash in no time.
What makes the perfect listing?
✓ A descriptive title
✓ Thorough item specifics and an accurate description
✓ Multiple high-quality, helpful photos
✓ The right price
Read on to find out how to master all of these.
List like a pro
1. Write a click-worthy title
2. Use recommended item specifics
3. Describe the item well
Use relevant keywords to say what the item is, including details like the brand, product type, and other attributes such as color, size, and material.
Arrange this information in a readable, logical order.
Avoid: acronyms that buyers may not understand, writing in all caps, and characters like asterisks (unless they’re part of your product’s name).
Here’s an example of a perfect listing title:
‘Lululemon Mens Cashmere V-Neck Sweater Medium Blue Long Sleeve Size M.’
Take your best shot
Photos can make or break a sale. Here’s how to get it right:
✓Place your item on a solid-colored background. Use a white or light-colored background for darker clothes, and a black or dark background for lighter clothes.
✓ Lighting is your best friend. Ensure your photos are well-lit, and use natural lighting where possible.
✓ Show every angle of your clothing. Think about what a customer might examine closely when looking at clothes in a store, and include pictures of it. For example, a listing for a shirt should include a photo of the front, back, labels and any close-ups or unique features such as embroidery.
Search eBay for clothes that match or are similar to yours. This will give you a sense of the current prices and how popular they are on eBay, and help you set reasonable expectations of how much you might get.
Use our research tools to see what similar items sold for 7 days ago up to the last 3 years.
Congratulations, your item has sold! Here’s what to do now:
Leave feedback for the buyer. When the payment has cleared, be sure to leave positive feedback for the buyer, which is an important part of good customer service.
Package your item. The majority of clothes can be shipped in a lightweight, waterproof envelope. If you have any items with fragile components such as large buttons, wrap them in one or two layers of bubble wrap and then use a box or padded envelope that’s slightly larger than the item you sold.
Select your postage label. The best way to do this is to use eBay Labels which can help save time and money. It’s also a great option if you don’t have a printer, since you can generate a QR code which is emailed to you. You can then use the self-service station when dropping off your package with a participating carrier, to scan the code and print the label, or ask an associate to do it.
Send out your item. Take the package to your post office or chosen mail carrier as soon as you can. Shipping things out on time helps to keep buyers satisfied and your seller rating high. Once you’ve done this, upload your tracking number so the buyer is notified that you’ve shipped the item.
