You can sell shoes relatively quickly on eBay, often within 1-4 weeks. Performing research on sold listings can help determine demand and pricing for specific shoes.
Tips for Selling
- Take clear, well-lit photos from multiple angles.
- Write an honest description including details, condition, size and flaws.
- Set a fair price based on market value and condition.
- Offer free shipping if possible. This helps avoid getting scammed.
Focus on profitable pairs in good condition. Research completed listings using eBay itself or tools like Terapeak. Expand your knowledge into what sells. List damaged shoes needing minor fixes that resellers often pass up.
