Not a buyer of said items.

 

Well if you list as BIN you can have the listing up for 30 days giving you more free listings every month.

Secondly I think many buyers don't want to wait for an auction to finish especially with women often impulse buying.

 

Provided your prices are good, I would go for BIN.

Then you can use the send to online auction function for items slow in selling and see if they sell in an auction.

I occasionally buy babies or children's clothing (for grandkids).

 

I probably prefer buy it now as then I know where I am with it but it isn't the format that sways me, it is the item.

 

I know you didn't ask specifically but my advice would be if you want to sell, make small bundles-maybe between 4-6 items, but make sure they are in good condition and reasonable brands. Extra special items, list separately.

Be sensible with pricing.

 

If you have fixed price & something doesn't sell, you could always relist with make an offer. Sometimes I see items listed and think-I like it but it is a bit more than I think it is worth, so I don't bid. But if someone puts make an offer, then I feel i can.. make an offer.Smiley Happy
