Selling on ebay - what month is best for childrens winter clothes?

Question

Trying to figure out the peak of back-to-school shopping and winter clothing shopping. Any ideas? Early August?

Thank you.

Answer 1

I've got 5 kids, and we been usin ebay since day one...I shop bout three months before a new school year starts.  nothing major though..IE...shoes, or coats.  Everything else is fine.  I don't like to buy singly, I tend to buy things that are in a lot.  I'm up in Alaska, and UPS ground shipping  is an outrageous sum for us.  So If the seller is unwilling to put it in a flat rate box I skip over it also.  I also sell on there too.  I've found that packaging it up like a few outfits, with some school supplies go quick.  like adding a cute note book and some matching pencils, stuff like that.  Good luck!

Answer 2

Back-to-school and winter clothes, early August - early October.  After that everyone will be thinking Christmas.  That's what I've found.

God bless!

eBay is a global site, so if you ship internationally, items from all seasons can sell year round. Here are some tips for selling children's clothing:

generally people do not look on eBay for children's clothes, that just happen upon them, and they are so dirt cheap it is hard to pass up.

my favorite trick to get rid of low priced items off-season is to package them in on something else that that child may need or want.

IE. for sale gently used Barney 9 DVD set, hours of enjoyment for your 2-4 year old. as a special bonus i am including 3t sweater/cord pant set.

then you can charge 75% of original retail for the DVD set because of the bonus items. plus you have attracted buyers to your site, list a bunch of seperate items for 1.99 and your closet will be back in order in no time flat.
