Ebay Womens Clothing Business

[jooshee847]

I have been starting up a clothing ebay business and have run into some problems.. I sell clothes that are similar to sinful by afficltion and ed hardy.

I get the shirts for wholesale price from my partners parents clothing line, which does very well. They sell their clothes to big companies and other small businesses in bulk somewhere in the thousand range. What I am getting at is they have no problem selling their merchandise.

I started last week and I am not selling a lot. I have my own ebay template, everything looks professional, etc.
I think a part of it is due to the listing title, I don't get too many views on my auctions. ie. NEW WOMENS SHIRT W/ HEART, FLOWERS&RHINESTONES sz S-XL

If you guys can give me some advice and tips to help me increase my sales that would be great.

I would be more specific in what brand it was or possibly if its not a known brand mention that it is Ed Hardy style or even claim that its better than ed hardy to get peoples attention. Ebay is so saturated now that you have to be really creative to stand out. I know it would sound ackward having a title "Sexy Floral Print Shirt/Better Than Ed Hardy" but it could get people curious and that could lead to more sales.

eBay is such a competitive place now, if your item doesn't have a big brand or isn't really cheap, it is extremely hard to get good sales.

You could try making it featured item (at the top of the page), and maybe put Ed Hardy etc in the title (though I am pretty sure I remember eBay doesn't like that), but may as well give it a go.

I guess you just have to try different things... what sells in a physical retail store won't be the same for eBay, because in a retail store the goods are in their faces, on eBay you have to make sure people see it and want it.

Good luck! I understand your frustration
