I’m going to start selling my kids clothes on eBay. I’m going to put them in lots because it’s easier than selling it off by the piece. My problem is, figuring out how many pieces to put in each lot. Should I set it into outfits and do 3 to 5 outfits per lot or just pick pieces at random. The things I like together, others might not. I got clothes ranging in size from newborn to 18 month. I also have bibs, blankets, socks, shoes and I’m sure lots of other things.
So, please, leave your comments with your thoughts and I will take them all into consideration.

I have found that it is always best to group by outfits. Brands like The Children’s Place, Carters, OshKosh and dept. store brands sell better in lots. You can even group by brand. However, with brands like Gymboree, Hanna Anderson, boutique brands, etc, it is better to do individual auctions (one outfit with accessories if you have them per auction.) Newborn clothes typically don’t do very well on Ebay, so sometimes it can be better to box them up and sell them on Craiglist for the whole lot. Good luck, I have had a lot of luck selling Cady’s old clothes on ebay!

I don’t really have the patience to figure all that out, so I never tried.
I would sell them in lots. If they’re outfits that go together, keep them together, otherwise just mix and match. Maybe a shirt lot, a pant lot, and a full outfit lot?
