Start making money now on eBay
Clothing is a great item to sell on eBay. Every day ordinary people make quick money buying and selling the best clothing brands on eBay. Start with brands that you are already familiar with. Let’s take American Eagle for our listing example. You have a pair of her skinny jeans in perfect condition that you want to sell. First, start with a quick investigation. Go to eBay.com and type American Eagle Skinny Jeans Size 6 in the search bar. Next, refine your search by selecting only Completed and Sold items. Items listed in green (by price) are items sold. Items listed in red did not sell. You want to ignore unsigned listings. Focus on the items that are most similar to yours and have recently been sold. Check the status of those items. Is there visible wear? Any defect? Worn cuffs? Also, write the relevant keywords that the successful seller used in their title and description. If you sell jeans, you need to know what style you are selling. Is the boot of the jeans cut or tight? Is the size Juniors or Women’s? Juniors sizes will be 00, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9,11. Women’s sizes are listed in even numbers. Size 6 is women’s size.
Get familiar with the most popular clothing keywords, like Stand Up and Crotch. You should also be able to accurately describe the wash color of the jeans. Light or dark? Some brands have the wash color written on the care label. Other brands use codes with numbers and dates. Buyers will be on the lookout for particular washes. Expect to receive questions from buyers asking you to describe and name the wash.
Shoppers may be trying to find a discontinued favorite style. Help them out and provide as many specific items as you can.
Get accurate measurements for your items
Rise is the measurement from the crotch seam (4-way seam on the seat) to the top of the waist above the zipper. The frontal lift is a critical measure. Most listings do not include a back measurement. The inseam is measured along the inside of the leg from the intersection of the 4-way center seam to the bottom of the cuff. A regular inseam is 32 inches long. Be sure to include the size on the item tag as well as your measurements. Always include your own measurements because between brands and within brands, sizes vary. A brand’s 30 waist can be only 28 inches. Give your buyers enough information to help them make a good decision about whether jeans fit. It is better to include many measurements than to omit important details. Buyer cannot try items on before purchasing.
