Selling Jeans
• eBay is a great place to sell used jeans. I prefer selling the jeans with a buy it now / best offer option for 30 days for best results. I start my prices high than gradually lower them if they sit for awhile.

Selling Strategies
• eBay is the ideal place but understand what brands sell for good money. Lots of jeans people are selling online don’t realize they are making $1 a pair or losing money. The next step while talk about what jeans sell best in a lot.

What Sells
• You want to look for mid to high end grade jeans, such as Brioni, True Religion, Vintage Levis, Kiton etc.
• These don’t bring all the money but sell well in lots: seven for mankind, levis, wrangler, etc.
• Jeans can be long tail so don’t think you can get fast sales for your items unless the items are in super demand and you price them to move.

Shipping Jeans
• 99% of the time jeans will weigh over 13 oz which means it will ship USPS Priority Mail. This is very important to understand when you create your price. Always factor in the shipping into the price if you offer free shipping.
