Start making money now on eBay
Clothing is a great item to sell on eBay. Every day, ordinary people make fast money by buying and selling the best clothing brands on eBay. Start with brands you are already familiar with. Let’s take American Eagle for our listing example. You have a pair of his skinny jeans in excellent condition that you want to sell. First, start with some quick research. Go to eBay.com and type American Eagle Skinny Jeans Size 6 in the search bar. Then refine your search by selecting only Completed and Sold items. Items listed in green (by price) are sold items. Items listed in red were not sold. You want to ignore unsold listings. Focus on items that are most similar to yours and have recently sold. Check the status of those items. Is there visible wear? Any defect? Worn cuffs? Also, write down the relevant keywords that the successful seller used in their title and description. If you’re selling jeans, you need to know what style you’re selling. Are the jeans boot cut or skinny? Is the size women’s or children’s? Junior sizes will be 00, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9,11. Women’s sizes are listed in even numbers. A size 6 is a women’s size.
Get familiar with popular apparel keywords like Rise and Inseam. 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 favorite discontinued 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 seat) to the top of the waist above the zipper. Frontal augmentation is a critical measurement. Most listings do not include a rear height measurement. Inseam is measured along the inside of the leg from the intersection of the center 4-way seam to the bottom of the cuff. A normal crotch is 32 inches long. Be sure to indicate 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 30 waist from a brand may only be 28 inches. Give your buyers enough information to help them make a good decision about whether the jeans will fit them. It is better to include many measurements than to omit important details. The buyer cannot try on the items before buying them.
