Default First item listing

Im about to list my very first item. I know for the.next 3 months or so, i need to be selling.low end.stuff.
Books was a suggestion but the chances are im unlikely to sell it...so im not likely to sell things like that to build up feedback.
I know that clothes are a no no. Have mentioned this before and some say avoid clothes and some say it might be ok.
Im at a loss of what to sell that is no value and likely to get a bid. I have a ton of baby clothes like sleepsuits and dresses. What if i list one used baby sleepsuit on its own. Would that be considered high risk. Cheap branded and used.
Would really appreciate your views.
Thanks :-)

Default Re: First item listing

I sell ALL low risk and not cheap items. Branded electronics, clothes, shoes, media is high risk. Basically sell anything that is not highly copied/⊗⊗⊗⊗ and you will be ok.

My fist 10 items I list usually sell between $20-100 and then I add a bit higher dollar items to the mix as soon as I get my first limit raise(usually within a week for me) and then after the 30 day mark I add in say a $300 item on auction maybe a bit higher item etc...

Im really stuck...coz everything i have is clothes, particularly unbranded babywear.
I want it to be something i can sell to get the feedback.
What about homeware...ie duvet covers...curtains?

List a name brand item for search results with the non branded.
So title is something like this
Lot of three (baby clothing names) including three (whatever) and (name brand) good condition

Yes...i.could easily do that. Had originally thought of doing small bundles.but thought it safer to.list individually.
But il give your suggestion a shot. Thank you :-)

Sales and profit is the name of the game. Get the ball rolling. A few sales here and there that make money is better than ten listings that did not sell or at no profit.
That is my opinion anyways.
