good day guys my name is samson i'm a
full-time ebay seller and in this video
i'm going to show you
exactly how to sell clothing items fast
on ebay
[Music]
throughout my past two years on ebay i
have listed and sold approximately 2
000 items of clothing and i am able to
consistently sell
thousands of dollars worth of clothing
items every single month on ebay
in this video i'm going to be showing
you step by step the best way that i
have found
to list clothing items on the platform
just quickly guys i make all types of
videos about selling on ebay
so make sure to drop a like if you find
the video informative and also subscribe
to my channel if you want to see more
okay so now on to the rest of the video
selling clothes can be simply broken
down into four different steps the first
is sourcing
so how you actually get the item to sell
i'm not going to be talking about that
in this video
i have a video on it on my channel if
you want to go watch that
go right ahead but once you actually
have the items which you want to sell on
ebay
the rest of the process can be broken
down into photography
listing and then actually shipping the
item out once it has sold and all three
of those steps
i'm gonna cover in this video okay so
the first step to selling anything on
ebay is photographing the item
and clothing is obviously no exception
you can use a camera like i do
or you can use your phone like i have
done for most of my time
selling on ebay most modern phones have
a really good inbuilt camera and if
you're using any of the latest iphone or
android phones then you don't really
need to worry about
buying a camera to do your ebay listings
the most important thing to remember is
to have good lighting
when you do your listings and it really
makes all the difference you need to use
a white background
in order for your clothing items to
really stand out okay so now i'm going
to show you the specific photos that i
like to take
of clothing items starting with shirts
here obviously you want a picture of the
shirt
then i use a picture of the tag that's
very important for buyers they like to
know the branding
and the tag is often a good way to tell
if an item is authentic
so make sure to take a picture of the
tag before you list your items up on
ebay
i like to take a picture of the collar
of the shirt so people can see
if it is a crew neck or a v-neck for
example then a picture of the graphic on
the shirt if there isn't a graphic take
a picture of any logos and if there's
none at all then you don't need to
bother with this one
a picture of at least one of the sleeves
is always important it allows to show
the buyers whether the shirt is single
stitched or double stitched
then a picture of the back of the collar
of the shirt there's quite often a logo
or little design here
so i just always take a picture of it
and then i like to include a picture
that shows the measurements of the shirt
i always include the underarm
measurement or the armpit to armpit and
then also the top to the hem
which is the length of the shirt okay so
now onto jeans i like the opening
picture to be one of the jeans folded as
such
which really shows off the profile and
the branding on the back of the jeans
i just want to point out as well that
all of the pictures i've used have had
perfectly white backgrounds and that's
very important on ebay for most items
it's really easy to do as well and i'm
going to be showing you exactly how in
the listing process in a bit
to get really white backgrounds even if
it doesn't look that great when you
initially take the photos
then i will use a picture of the front
of the jeans and then one of the back
and then a picture of the tag as well
it's important for all clothing items to
picture the tag if it does have a tag
one of the brand tab i've included a
picture of the button here as well
that's just optional
and then i've also included a few
optional close-up pictures which i do
recommend if you've got the time
finally i include the measurements as
well for jeans as i do for shots okay so
how well you do your ebay listing is
what is gonna determine
just how fast you're able to sell your
clothing items so
now i'm gonna go into one of my ebay
listings and show you exactly
how i went through the ebay listing
process and
optimized it to make sure that my
clothes that i list on ebay
sell as quick as they possibly can okay
so i'm just going to quickly show you
how to get those white backgrounds on
your ebay listing images that will
really make the clothing items pop
so all you do simply is in the photo
editor here over on ebay
you click on this little adjust
brightness and contrast tab here
and then you'll get these two sliders to
come up and then
pull the top one all the way over to the
right the brightness one
40 should about do it for this
particular shot but it's going to be
different for every individual clothing
item and then the contrast tab
you pull that all the way over to the
right as well and click save and as you
can see now i have a perfectly
white background on this image without
having to use photoshop or a remove
background tool
and this works on all desktops when you
do your ebay listings
okay so now that you've got your photos
ready i'm going to show you exactly what
goes into my clothing listings
i'm going to use this shirt as an
example because i actually did sell this
shirt this morning
so it's obviously a good listing and i'm
going to show you everything that went
into it starting with the title it's
important to state the brand name first
in my opinion
so this is a nike shot so i started with
a nike men's t-shirt which
immediately describes the item then i
include the size this was a size large
the color blue and then i use a bunch of
words to describe it
make sure to use as many characters as
ebay will allow you to as you can see i
used almost all the characters that i
had available to me
so my full title reads nike men's
t-shirt
size large blue big swoosh logo short
sleeve
crew neck tee all of those extra words
will serve as search terms
so someone might look up crewneck
t-shirt and this will come up
or someone might look up nike big swoosh
logo
t-shirt and then this item will be even
more likely to come up
that's why it's important to put in
those search terms when you're doing
your ebay listings now moving on it's
very important to describe the condition
accurately when you sell clothing items
on ebay
most of my returns come from a floor
that i have missed
so make sure to document them as well as
you can as you can see this particular
item didn't have any flaws i've
described it as having a very good
condition
but if there were any holes or stains
then make sure to mark them down here
it's very important guys you don't want
to get any returns
then these item specifics when i started
selling clothes on ebay
i never used to include any of these but
now ebay are really pushing for them so
you actually have to include quite a few
item specifics
such as the brand the color and the
material that the item is made out of
and then also these other recommended
item specifics can really help your item
sell
so the type of item that this is is a
t-shirt and then it is size large it has
a crew neck
i could have included solid for the
pattern but this item did sell all the
same now this stuff like the theme
can help you generate sales but it's not
one of the most important specifics to
include
short sleeve it's from the men's
department and then also the size type
is regular
now let's look at my product description
you guys can feel free to copy as little
or as much as you want from this or make
your own make sure to include the title
in the description
i then include my measurements and then
after that i list my selling conditions
which state that i check all of my items
for tag accuracy which means that if i'm
selling a shirt that's a size large but
it shrunk down to a size small
i will note that down here and then i
also state that combined postage is
available on all orders which simply
means that buyers
if they buy multiple items from me can
get just one simplified cheaper postage
rate i tell buyers to please pay within
three days of buying and that also i
highly appreciate feedback
and then finally to message me with any
questions that buyers have
now when it comes to pricing your items
the very simple way to determine what
you should sell a clothing item for
is by the sold completed listings on
ebay so if i wanted to find the sold
completed listings for that nike shirt
i would simply type in nike shirt
into ebay search then scroll down and
click on pre-owned
and then also go to sold items and here
you will see all of the nike shirts that
have sold and
you can generally price your items off
what these items are selling for so i
chose to sell this item for 20
which is what i got it to sold for and i
like to include best offer on all of my
listings so if people want to send me an
offer i can negotiate
with potential buyers i do accept
returns and i recommend all sellers
accept returns also for clothing items
because people are going to be much more
likely to buy from you
i have a 30 day return policy where the
buyer will pay the return postage
and i get very few returns but it's
still nice insurance for buyers
now as for the rest of the listing in
terms of charging for postage or not
that's really personal preference and
then finally you just have to accurately
describe the size and weight of the item
okay so that's exactly how i do my
clothing ebay listings
to generate sales as fast as possible
and the very last step
in the process of selling clothing items
on ebay is of course
posting the items out once you've
generated sales now in order to package
the items that i've sold
i use these medium-sized black polymers
i'll have a link in the description
where you guys can get them from the
same source that i do
i actually get asked fairly often where
i get my shipping supplies from
so i'll have that link down in the
description for you for clothing items
over fifty dollars i'll double wrap it
in two polymers and then for clothes
that i sell for over a hundred dollars
i'll wrap them in bubble up
and then i'll put them in a box but for
99 of the clothing items that i do sell
which sell for less than a hundred
dollars
that will be sent in polymailers you're
watching me package up the nike shirt
that i showed you guys earlier all i had
to do was fold it up
and then it goes straight into the
mailer and i'll close the mailer up it's
got the shipping address for the buyer
on it and it's ready to go to
the post office okay guys so that's
exactly how you can sell clothes
fast on ebay in 2020 and beyond
