Making my own clothes and selling them on ebay? - Destiny - 04-28-2014 11:27 AM
I don't know weather or not to. I really need to make some money before december as i need to save up for somewhere. I was going to make my own clothes i have a few ideas but i don't know if they'd sell?ive ask loads of people if the ideas ive got are nice and they said they look really cute so i was just wondering if anyone could help and know how much i could start selling them for?

Yes they do sell, starting off will be slow but if it picks up then you'll get a lot of customers! It would be good to advertise of social media sites such as Facebook etc! Also make sure the people buying from you leave good feedback as it will attract more customers

Go for it Destiny. And check out Etsy.com as a second outlet for your merchandise. I wish you the very best of luck.

Hey Destiny that is a good idea. I would check out Cafepress.com. You can make your items for no cost and sell them online through them. They only ask for a certain percentage on each sale. Also if you are interested I have a few other ideas on how to make money using the Internet.

List them and see do they sell

There is a lot of materials and time in most handmade items.
Make sure you will make a profit after sale fees.
I would probably avoid eBay, use etsy.
Get good photograph, and give actual measurements, rather than state "size 10".
Dolly dresses and outfits would be less prone to returns.
You also need to comply with DSRs if selling online.

For ideas on what to sell on eBay which make high profit, check out http://www.waterhouseresearch.com
They find products on eBay which are making over 100% profit and selling more than 15 times every month. They also show you the suppliers. Join the hot product alert, it's free.
We prefer to sell new items as you can take the photos once, write the ad copy once and sell it over and over.
We have some products which we have been selling since 2005. We just keep buying more the supplier.
Be careful of locking yourself into 1 niche. We prefer to chase profit.
