Sell stuff that people like to buy during the holidays.

You have to diversify your products, try to source items in other categories, it's all about "keywords", the more searchable keywords you have in your store, the more visits and potential buyers you get, as simple as that.

Ah, the good ol 'old used clothing'....

Well, at typical Garage Sales- clothes are sold for .50cents, $1, $5--- other than that?? Really??

Amazed at how many 'old used clothes' sellers post about NO SALES. 

Well, simply lower your prices by 90% and you will be inline with what is typical.

I am not sure this is the reason, most of the clothing they offer are under $10 with free shipping and best offer, how low can they go? In garage and thrift sales, you buy and go, not package and pay postage.

Just saying "Well, simply lower your prices by 90% and you will be inline with what is typical" just means they should sell them for under a dollar with free shipping and allow offers, how is that possible?

Hello,

Sorry your merchandise is not selling as quickly as you had hoped.

I didn't look through all of your listings but did notice that the women's clothing on your first listing page shown to me seems to be small sizes. Do you have a variety of sizes? I don't sell clothing but have read that larger sized women's clothing sells a bit faster.

Have you considered putting some pieces together as an outfit and listing them as, I don't know, women's casual outfit slacks and short sleeved top or skirt plus top plus scarf?

Hopefully some of the clothing sellers here will offer you some advice.

Wishing you better luck with your sales.

I think preowned clothing is more likely to sell post-holiday when people have eBay gift cards to spend and they're shopping for themselves instead of others.

1st: Buyers do NOT care what Sellers have to do (pack/ship) so that means nothing.

2nd: How is it possible?

They have MANY things WELL over $10

So, the answer is YES: QUIT selling $10 items that sell for $1 at garage sales or simply QUIT having expectations.

I looked at a couple listings.  The one with 12 pieces of clothing (including a pair of jeans) is listed for ten dollars with free shipping.  You many lose money on that one if it sells.  How much do all those items weigh?

I also looked at a sweater.  Your description does state ...little flows (spelled wrong) at the top of the sweater, check the pictures, but it also states "No damage" and I clearly see a hole.   Folks may not trust what they are getting based on those conflicting statements even if it is cheap.

Never said that, your imagination thinks I am talking about buyers. 

I was talking about sellers

List more items

List more desirable/hot items

Run some promotions (lower some prices, bundle deals, buy more/save more) - whatever you think appeals to your sales style the most

Send some special coupons to past buyers 

If you like doing shipping deals, maybe offer a flat rate or free shipping over a certain dollar amount

There is nothing better than opening your present on Christmas Eve only to find your wife or girlfriend got you a used polo shirt and a used pair of Levis.

Some of we doggy old used clothes dealers actually do pretty well. OP's problem is she's selling small sizes - those are very plentiful on discount as it is - I deal with clothing sourcing all the time and guess what I find when I look at a gaylord of surplus, overstocks, etc.? Sizes 0-4. Also stuffies are kind of common. Other than that, photos are very well done! I would wait until after Holiday shopping when people are wanting to get items for themselves.
