    This video definitely helped me enormously.I''ve wanted to try eBay for a while but wasn't clever enough to use it with confidence. After watching your 'tutorial' I'm going to give it a go. Thanks Emma. Another, on selling on Ebay, would be appreciated!

    Another thing to look at for bags are stitches! I'd source a pic from an authentic retailer like Saks or the brand's website. I bought and expensive bag from Vestiaire and compared the look and number of stitches to the authentic from a listing on Bergdorf's!

    I’ve sold a lot on eBay and I find photos and descriptions so so important to the success of a quick sale. Some people have such bad pictures and information in the description I feel like what is the point of putting it on if that’s the effort they’ve gone to 🤷🏻‍♀️After selling some techy things last month I then treated myself to some bnwt M&S cashmere jumper and beanie #secondhandbutgrand Great helpful video 💋

    I’m so happy I found your channel. You are smart, funny, elegant, kind and honest. I believe you, and I feel like I really know you. You don’t act yourself to make importation, and you don’t make me feel bad about myself. I feel like you love being on YT and you don’t need that, you do I because it’s a passion of yours. Your message is always nice to here, especially the eco-friendly vibes. And although I can tell you really believe in your lifestyle, you don’t talk about it obsessively or trying to make it the only way/truth. I appreciate you for all of those things. I don’t know you in real life and maybe I got it all wrong here, but this is how I feel about you, and it makes me feel better:) I’m also a Leo (August 15) and my whole life I was sure I’m not matching the Leo vibes because I’m more of an introvert. Today I know that it has nothing to do with that and that my strength doesn’t necessarily has to be preformed in a way of talking, touching, optimism and so on... I feel like maybe we share this experience of life.

    Some bag brands of smooth skinned leather tend to scratch very easily and with dark colours these faults aren’t easily seen on photos. I think sellers should be entirely honest in the description if there are faults which are fully reflected in the sale price. Also, I think it’s a good idea to check out review videos of particular bags on youtube and buy a dirt cheap dupe to road test it to see if it’s a keeper & you’re going to get the wear out of it before parting with money.

    @hey_its_heather 5 років тому +4

    I love that you mentioned 'sell to buy' because that's what I do, I have a one in one out policy when it comes to shoes once my shoe racks filled up. I live with my dad and he always scoffs whenever I mention that I'm selling something but it's because I want something else and am trying not to be a hoarder when I'm not getting my use out of something so thank you for mentioning that because I feel a bit more validated 😂 I'm American and I prefer to sell on Poshmark because it's a very active platform and I've found it easy to sell on, I've sold a few things on Depop but it doesn't seem to be as common here. I've had my ebay account hacked twice so I just stay away from ebay unless there's a very specific item that I can only find on ebay. I've also sold a few pairs of shoes on Vestiaire but it's a much more drawn out process to receiving payment and the profits aren't always the best.

    Its great that you do more second hand shopping now, I switched awhile ago and only buy second hand/vintage clothes or whatever I can. Also I like ebay to, I would say I mostly buy cacti and vintage Levis on there and minerals/crystals.

      @@narora1026 I sold my Antigona and again the same thing. People may think I'm dodgy but I think when they see what I've sold and my feedback they realise it really is about protecting us all from counterfeit goods.

    Hi Emma! Have you ever bought something from Japanese sellers? They are well known for their stock but I'm curious on custom fees or any other fees that are not included in the price. Any knowledge on that? Thanks

    • @EmmaHill
      @EmmaHill  5 років тому +2

      I haven't Im afraid. But if you were to google customs fees from Japan to UK, it should give you a good idea of potential additional costs 👍🏼

  • @Debbiesdilemmas
    @Debbiesdilemmas 5 років тому +11

    I would think that if a seller on eBay was selling a luxury item that they would give a very thorough description. If selling a bag I would give the
    Model and size, if more than one, the year it was made, the type of material....if leather what kind, colour, etc. Would you not also show many photos of the front, back, interior, pockets, hardware, etc. If there wasn’t this many details, I would assume the seller knows very little about the luxury item and therefore I would doubt its authenticity. Thank you so much for this video Emma as I’ve never purchased through EBay. I’m not that trusting when it comes to parting with my money, especially for a luxury item.

    • @EmmaHill
      @EmmaHill  5 років тому +2

      I agree but I guess some people just expect the item to sell itself 🤷🏼‍♀️

    • @Debbiesdilemmas
      @Debbiesdilemmas 5 років тому

      Emma Hill I guess so. I’ve sold household items and furniture on our local (Canadian) on line shop and taken more photos and given better descriptions...lol!

    Hi Emma, I’ve been looking for a vintage Burberry trench coat for a while now and so many sellers (even are Vestaire) insist that the check pattern on lining doesn’t match up at the seams for vintage coats. Can you please confirm if yours does? And does it match up perfectly? Thanks!

    Thanks, Emma, great tips. In the past, I had some very good experiences buying from EBay, then I had a couple of negative ones and I became wary. I think if I need anything in future I'll give it another chance. Have you ever used Etsy for anything?

    • @EmmaHill
      @EmmaHill  5 років тому

      I would suggest using the charts the individual brands provide as their style and fit may vary slightly meaning there isn't a standard cross over for sizing. Some sizes come up larger or smaller depending on the brand. 👍🏼 ❤️

    I noticed the label on the Burberry trench coat said "Burberrys" with an S. Is that legit? you are probably more familiar with various labels (especially vintage) than I am. I have a Burberry trench that I bought from the Burberry boutique so its obviously authentic and the label only says Burberry and the font is very different.

    • @EmmaHill
      @EmmaHill  5 років тому +3

      Yes it used to be with an 's' and then it was dropped during a rebrand, although they did re-release it (last season I believe) so lots of the newer items have the 's' again. 👍🏼
