Frequently asked questions
How should I sell children’s clothes?
In bundles grouped by age and season. Single items rarely cover the effort, while a well-sorted bundle sells quickly.
What puts buyers off?
Stains, especially on collars and knees. Check every piece in daylight, because photographs hide marks that buyers will find.
Are brands worth more?
Somewhat, but condition and bundle size matter more in this category than the label does.
