Default Hello!

Hello there, my name's Matt and I'm another wannabe seller in a bid to make some money for uni next year.

I'm into my fashion and enjoy designer clothing far too much, with my favourites being: All Saints, Lyle & Scott, Penguin and Fred Perry, all of these I would be looking to sell too.

I'm basically looking for some advice on how I should go about this really eg:

Where I should get my stock from?

Where should I sell it?

Is it worth getting a website together?

I've been using eBay for the past 2 Months buying/selling from there and managing to make about £300 profit in that time, sadly this is immensely time consuming and a lot of hassle.

Also when looking on eBay it seems the market for designer Polo's is saturated, especially L&S which is full of fakes too...

So if anyone has any ideas about how I can go about this then that would be greatly appreciated, thanks very much, all comments welcome!

Thanks everyone, it doesn't look like there is much to be made selling genuine designer clothes on eBay these days, would anyone agree with this?

All depends on what your cost is! The market on Ebay is flooded with fakes at the moment and i guess will always be. Its all about how to convince the buyer you are selling genuine goods, and hence charge the correct price!

Hmm, I've been comparing up prices with what people are offering here and selling prices on eBay and I don't think it looks too great.

I don't know why but I'm wary about buying products I know nothing about, even though I can see the profits in them are much better.
