Bingo, you are today's winner. Life is too short to sweat the small stuff. If you love what you are doing, then you are living life to the fullest. Why waste one's time on being miserable, hateful and blaming others for one's own failures? We prefer the former over the other. Live your life and be happy, not someone else's and being miserable!

 Count   the seconds from the time you see the lightning flash until you  hear the thunder by using the one thousand  1, one thousand 2  etc.  method .  one full count equals  ~ 1 mile.   If you can't  say  one thousand 1 ,  it is **bleep** close - put your head under the pillow before you wet the bed.

Don't do it.  Don't sell clothing.  If you notice -- EVERY BODY IS SELLING CLOTHING.  Highly over-saturated.  If you have luxury items, like Chanels & Guccis, I say yes sell.  But your average mall brands....forget about it.  Very very Slow sales.....very slow.  You don't get much money/profit for mall brands.  Only luxury brands bring money, and you have to buy those clothings at deep discounts.

Search for "Nike" for example and you see thousands of listings....! 

Search for J. Jill, Chico's, any mall brand and there are thousands of listings.  And everybody sells CHEAPLY.  Don't do it.

Clothing is a very saturated market, and you will work your fingers to the bone for little profit. If you do go down that road, make sure you include detailed measurements, and be prepared for a lot of returns.

1.  Never  use the term  "like or near new" to describe a preowned item

2.  Describe your item in words as if there is no pictures, and describe your item in photos as if there are no words

3.  Provides short  and to the  point key features of the item - using  bullet point short phrases  Avoid  sugar sweet marketing/sales jargon -  like word Awesome, robust, etc these are just like eating popcorn "full of air very little substance." 

4. Don't over exaggerate  condition of a pre-owned item , rather underestimated the  overall condition - I always used the terms Excellent, Vere nice, and good never fair or poor.  People like to  be pleasantly surprised

5.  Review  the listings of what sellers   have  SOLD the same or similar item as you have to  see what they have - then  great your  own unique  style.  A sold item means  what a willing buyer, willingly paid for the item.  Active unsold listings mean the seller  HOPES there item might sell.

6. Your  listings are your best sales person - you job is to stop the shopper  and put  their  eyes on your item.  A  key photo that show  just a "little leg"  or "abs enhance you chance that the shopper will want to   learr more.

5.  Your feed back rating on 3 items should  give you  some  suggestion on areas that need improvement.  Remember it is the buyers perception this is  reality - not yours.

@rystra9771   Add more then just clothing to your eBay store ... clothing categories are saturated so you may experience  some extreme highs and lows in sales through the course of the year.
