I am considering becoming a seller but would like opinions pls  re. selling my boutique standard handmade clothing on ebay. All opinions appreciated:) Sincere thanks

If your clothing will be in a high price range then I think it will be difficult but not impossible to sell on ebay.

I have seen hand made childrens clothing in local shops and a lot of the sales are impulse buys by grandmothers and aunts but they can feel the item and have a good look at the sewing so the impulse is for a really pretty dress in a really cute fabric and sewn beautifully or a really boyish outfit for any cute little brute

Ebay does not let buyers feel the item, to see the quality of the fabric and check out the expertise of the maker.

I answered this but my post has been removed by the Ebay Moderation Police. My answer was a negative and i mentioned an alternative. Im a very bad boy!

You may also have an anger management problem looking at your replies to feedback, not to mention the last few posts you have made.

Chill, it's only eBay

Considering how 'cheapo' buyers attitudes are at the moment, it's setting yourself up for grief.

People expect 5 star products for bargain shop prices.

I had one earlier this week, told me my item price was outrageous and offered half the price.

I sent an email telIing them they don't have to to buy, then I blocked them.

I don't need the hassle.

Not sure if there's a market but you could try a Completed Listings search for 'handmate kids clothing' and see what comes up or just list a few cheap things as auctions and see how they go.
