Need advice, I can't sell my clothes

Hello everyone

I’m turning to you because I’m having trouble selling my clothes and I’d like your advice.

Despite everything, I take great care with my photos, and I regularly have people who favorite my items, but no sales.

In your experience, what’s blocking me? I welcome all your constructive opinions to help me improve my closet

Hi Aurélie,

Do you have people who propose negotiations to you?

Yes, sometimes, but too low for my taste, but very rarely.

Hello Aurelie

Do you sell women’s, children’s, or men’s clothing?

What brands? What prices compared to new?

To be constructive, we should see your wardrobe or at least one or two photos of your listings.

Here is my dressing room

Hello Aurélie!

I think some items are more expensive than new ones. For example, I see the « :cherry_blossom: Mango Bath Salt 1.3kg new :cherry_blossom: ». It’s €3.5 on Amazon… and in my supermarket. With fees and shipping, it’s over €10 on your Vinted page.

I took this example, there might be others, but it’s to give you a suggestion for explanation/improvement. :hugs:

and for my clothes

Personally, hygiene products are expensive with Vinted fees and shipping, and I personally wouldn’t buy used items!

For children’s clothes, there are so many offers that people are looking for clothes for €1/2 to make bundles, otherwise you need to have a brand (Catimini, Bonpoint, Kenzo, Burberry, …)

The fairy tales from 1 to 5 are €3 each in bookstores for the Discovery offer.

I don’t want to discourage you, but at these prices, it’s not surprising

One way to think about your shop is to imagine yourself as a buyer: if you were a buyer, would you be interested in the products you have put up for sale, considering the price and shipping costs?
Would you yourself buy from your shop if you needed these items, or could you easily find better and cheaper elsewhere?

@aurelie1 You expect frank and direct answers to know your lack of activity (sales), so I’m going to be direct (not mean) but direct, okay? :wink: (don’t take it the wrong way, okay? :blush: )

For your clothes, you mainly sell Kiabi, Gemo… for more than €1… sometimes at the same price as in the store (especially those that do consignment/sales)…
so you are drowned in the mass (there are millions of ads like yours) and you certainly have no visibility, since those who buy Gemo or Kiabi don’t pay more than €1 (or even 50 cents).

Try selling your children’s clothes on Beebs… (by lowering your prices a bit)…
in my opinion, it will work better…
And then, as some have pointed out, put yourself in the buyers’ shoes…
Would you buy used Kiabi or Gemo clothes? and at what price? :wink:

Good luck to you…:zany_face:

P.S.: Well done :clap:t2: for your artistic effects on the photos :blush:

thank you very much how to find good prices or make batches?

Take the time to see how similar items are sold (and take an average)
And rework the title of your ads.

Example on one of your ads: Sleeveless Dress
Instead, put: Navy blue sleeveless summer dress for 9-month-old baby

You will have more impact on searches (in my opinion)

For the price (it’s up to you to see how much you would be willing to pay for a second-hand dress for your child)
Would you buy it for €5? (with shipping costs on top)

Yes, keep this price
No, what offer would you make?
Maybe €3.50, no? :wink:

thank you for your advice I think I will review my prices and my titles and see if that works

Don’t worry about bundles, Vinted’s bundling system is very well done. Interested people will browse your shop and make you their own bundle offers.

That’s why you should avoid pricing items
