? re: selling baby items on Ebay

I've only sold a few things on ebay so I'm pretty new at this.  I have a LOT of baby shoes that Mikayla has outgrown, most of them still brand new because she never even got a chance to wear them (let this be a lesson to me!).  I want to sell them - so far I have 16 pairs to sell! 

So, is it better to have one big lot of the 16 pairs, or should I maybe split them into two lots of 8?  At first I thought one big lot would attract buyers, but I don't know if it's better to have smaller, lesser priced auctions because people might not want to spend that much right now.  Thoughts if you sell/buy on Ebay?   :)

    I would sell them individually.  I know that means more packaging for you to ship, but you might have the best luck that way.  I guess it depends on what you are planning to charge.  If they are brand shoes (Pediped, Robeez, etc) then I would definitely sell them individually.  If they are just cute shoes you picked up at Target or whatever, than a big lot or two might work best.

    Yeah they're most Luvable Friends, a few from Babies R Us, Children's Place, stuff like that.  Nothing big name so I think probably lots would be better, I'm just not sure if one huge lot or two smaller ones is more attractive for buyers.

    I would sell them individually or in sets of 2 or 3.

     

    I only have 3 pairs of shoes for DD in each size, so as a buyer 8 would be too many.

    I'd give it a try on Craigslist first so you don't have to deal with shipping.

     

    And then go to ebay.  I wouldn't want to buy 8 or 16 pairs at once.  Maybe sets of 3 pair?   If they're not name brands, I woudn't expect to get much for them though...  You might have better luck at a consignment store.

    Oh shoes sell great on ebay! I sell mine in lots of 2-3 pairs. Just simply because shipping is cheaper. And they sell better when all pairs are the same size. Good luck!

    I would also try CL first since it doesn't cost you anything. I did just list some a big lot of baby clothes on CL and got zero bites, but that doesn't mean you won't!

    If you end up doing Ebay I'd do two or three smaller lots.

    I'm expecting a girl in June and am in love with shoes! If you have a couple of pictures and maybe a price you'd like to set, I'd be interested in buying the whole lot. Feel free to email me at dyana dot stevens at gmail dot com
