Anyone an eBay seller? buyer? of handbags

My SIL has sold a few of her older Coach bags as well as some Seven jeans on eBay really easily and was telling me all about it this weekend.  I have a closet full of old designer bags I never use and I'm thinking about trying it out myself.

Has anyone done this?  Did you sell easily and get the $ you wanted?

Has anyone purchased?  What do you look for (I'll obviously be a new seller - which to me isn't a detriment b/c I feel like I'd rather buy from someone who is clearly cleaning out their closet and real bags, rather than from a place who sells and ton and you start to question authenticity).  Do you feel this way as a buyer too?

  • I bought a D&B a few years back. I liked that they had pictures from every side and inside the bag. And I also liked that it said it was from a smoke free house since some did not and I was afraid it would smell. I didn't really care if they buy and sell or are just cleaning out their closet...more of what the bag looked like. Oh and also how much they wanted me to pay for shipping.

  • I bought a Kate Spade earlier this year. I made sure it was a reputable seller that didn't have any complaints about selling fakes.

    As far as selling, I've sold old clothes and shoes but nothing of any real value.

  • I've sold small things and am actually getting ready to list some more.  Just be sure to calculate the shipping and then increase it a little, unless you're willing to take a loss on it in order to make a sale.

    For the bags, be sure you're straightforward about how its used, and note any defects so people know you're being honest. Photos sell!

    Good luck!

  • I haven't purchased a bag from ebay, but I've looked.  My main deterrent is the question of the authenticity of the bag, so I think multiple photos and showing the inner Coach emblem with any significant markings to denote authenticity would be helpful for any seller.  Good luck-- let me know when you get them up.  Since it's you and I know they are real, maybe I'll peruse your closet.  :)

    Same here!  :)

  • I have two relatively new (used like 3 or 4 times each) Coach bags that I'm probably going to sell. I can't get on during the day anymore because of new IT restrictions, so, if anyone wants to see pics, email me at Melissainabq at gmail and I'll send them over. One is all grey tote and the other is a gray, white and pink bucket sized-bag.
