Is it possible? Yes.

Can YOU do it? That depends - How hard are you willing to work AND how big are your lobes?

Interesting post.  

You tell us your "brand name" -- which is supposed to sound impressive -- but do not tell us what the product is.

It's certainly possible to make $2000 a month on eBay.

But not if you want to sell junk -- to which is attached a label with a fancy name stamped on it.

$2000 INR = approx. $23.54 USD - That really should be extremely easy to do per month.

Getting started in the fashion business is not an overnight, get-rich-quick thing.  It takes a long time, a lot of money, and a lot of hard work.  Just because you own a brand name doesn't mean you will be successful.  There are thousands upon thousands, if not millions, of brands of clothing out there now; some do okay, some make it big, and some quickly go down the tube.  You don't say if you design and make your items or if you only do part of the process or if you plan to farm everything out.

How you would do on eBay would depend on a lot of things.  The quality of your items; the price point of your items; the desirability of your designs; and of course, your customer service (how you handle problems, and there will be problems).   No one will have heard of your brand so no one will be searching for it.  Clothing is already an extremely oversaturated category on eBay and other online venues so you will more or less be lost in the shuffle; buyers will mostly find you "by accident" if at all.

The only thing to suggest is to try it and hope for the best but plan for the worst.   Depending on what you want to do, I'm not sure eBay is the right way to break into the business.

If you work hard and sell what people want you can make a lot more than $2000 a month.    However, selling your own line of (no name) clothing won't be a walk in the park.     Actually it could be a disaster .

Making $2000 a month is definitely possible, but it's going to be difficult selling a brand of clothing (I assume that's what it is), that no one's heard of, in one of the most saturated categories on the site

Doesn't the LUXURIO FASHION title imply that this would be a line of clothing, probably women's? 

[pickapaper]

@soh.maryl That's what I thought, that it implied a line of women's clothing.  Actually, it's a pretty bland, vanilla-ish name for any kind of clothing.  Sounds more like the name of an eBay selling store rather than a logo name for jackets, pants, and tops.  JMHO

Only if your items are wanted by buyers.

[chapeau-noir]

I found it easy...if I have the right items. 😉

@b286-46 I just noticed that you are in India.  That puts a different slant on some of the things such as are you wanting to sell American-style clothing or Asian clothing?   Selling American-style clothing from India might be a little iffy but there could be people in other countries who are looking to buy Saris and other native wear.

It depends on if your brand is popular?

If it's a brand no one has heard of, probably not.

Sell internationally.

Not just here on dotCOM which is basically the US site, although it is visited by members worldwide, but to the European Union, UK, Australasia, and Canada.

If you are selling Indian style clothing (salwar kameez, kurta , dupatta, saree, etc) remember the huge diaspora of Indo-British, Indo-Canadians, Indo-Americans, etc.

If you are selling Western style clothing, put measurements into the listing for each garment AND show the garment with a tape measure confirming those measurements.

Indian clothing is much more reliable than Chinese for fit, but there is still a suspicion.

Shipping is the hardest part of mail order.

Before you start listing, research your packaging and shipping costs.

Weigh every garment.  Use plastic packaging for waterproofing.

Don't be afraid to offer returns for refund. It's counter-intuitive, but this actually will reduce the number of claims.

And what is your plan for Disputes and Claims? You can have a No Returns policy and abandon the garment , but you will be required to refund anyway.

You can demand Return before Refund , but you will probably be required to pay for return shipping. How will you supply your customer with the necessary label?

How will you get paid?
I understand that eBay India uses PaisaPay. Do you have an account with them and is it a business account? Does India, or your state,  require a business license for online selling.

I have been selling here since 1998, and generally make an extra paycheque a month, with little work put in. But my categories, while popular, are not saturated and what I sell tends to be One of a Kind (OOAK).
