Selling Shoes on Ebay Tips and Tricks

[athleticavenue]

Do any of you sellers have any advice on selling shoes? I've tried promoting some of them and taking better pictures, but that doesn't seem to be doing the trick.  Any advice? Thanks!

The best trick is to sell stuff that people would buy

I am not a shoe seller, but once in a while I will buy "pre-owned".  One thing I noticed was that you did not show a photo of the bottoms (soles).  I might like to see that if I was looking for the type you are selling.  Otherwise your photos are great.   

Saying shoes are used, is not very specific.  A good idea would be to look at SOLD items from sellers that may specialize in shoes of your type and see how they are presented  i.e. photos/description to get some ideas. 

Good luck!

@athleticavenue   First off - your size 8 and 6 1/2 shoes are a small size and will have a reduced market so you may have a slow sale on that.  Second - show both soles for your used shoes as you did for your new shoes (sole picture is fine for the new shoes).

I used to sell a lot of shoes here and they tend to be a bit of a slow sale.

Your photos are great!
