Has anyone got experience in ebaying clothes?

I am having a major clearout and I have lots of good clothes and kit I don't fit into anymore. Not exactly designer stuff though, but would it sell? Good work suits, largely, of which the trousers fall off me these days...

Selling clothes on eBay is often more bother than it's worth, and used clothing that isn't designer or top-end high street brands tends not to sell. BUYING clothes on eBay is brilliant :)

Sports kit can sell reasonably well if it's good quality, especially things like bike shorts. However, stuff in small women's sizes doesn't shift as well as men's kit.

I've done quite well selling the kids' outgrown Inov8s, even when quite battered.

I am looking to get rid of a lot of running kit, as I no longer use it... Maybe the V-rap household will like some? Haven't actually looked at it for a while... but will be largely tops, as the shorts are pretty worn... I used to use 2xu comperssion shorts and only had 2 pairs, one to wear and one for the wash...

I'm in the same situation as you, Hann - loads of running kit, especially tops, which I hardly wear :(

I had a pair of basic Adidas capris which I managed to sell on ebay, think I had about 50+ watchers on them, in the end they sold for about £9 which I thought was ok. try selling your really good stuff first to bump up your account and to see how it goes.

I'm really short of running tops Hann but I'm a size 8 - not sure what size you are.
