I've noticed that name brand stuff sells fast.

I put a few capris up there and it just sat and sat for the whole time but when I put out Baby Phat, Dereon and PZI jeans that were too small, they sold with a quickness.

I put bathing suits up and sold just one...and formal wear and sold...just one.

But I have 2 favorite sellers on ebay and I buy his shoes, and her clothes all the time and they are not name brand...I agree with louispn to an extent not to put too much guess work in it, but also maybe what will help is to find a certain 'style' of clothing. (ie. urban, vintage, casual, kids), and cater to a niche.

I notice the shoes I buy are a certain 'style' I like as well as the clothing.

I've found it a little difficult in the past, namely because...

1. My clothes were used
2. They weren't name brands or expensive items
3. The postage was HORRENDOUS, even for only a few items shipped together
4. I was not eager to sell overseas because (a) even higher postage costs, and (b) in places like the US and UK, people can buy clothes cheaper than in Australia anyway...

So! There you go. But for others unlike me, it can definitely be successful.

Brand name clothing (certain brands anyway) sell best. It's important to take good measurements because you will get a lot of people asking you for the inseam, rise and waist measurements as well as bust, etc.

I don't do many clothes anymore, but they can be lucrative if you know what you are doing!

I have been very successful in selling clothes on ebay, there is a learning curve and what works for one person may not work for another, photos have a lot to do with how well something sells, so take great photos and as many as you can.
