Do you know when the best time to sell your clothing is on ebay?

I have written this guide to help you figure this out so you can get maximum profit for your items!!!! We will be taking this month by month. If it is not the correct month for auction listings, write your items up and put them in your ebay store at a set price (you can always switch them to auction when the time is right). You never know when someone may need a swim suit in the middle of winter or a coat in the middle of summer. There are different climates in this big world and with the internet you could be selling to someone that has cold weather while ours is hot.

JANUARY - This is a great month! Get all your winter sold this month. What you have left put in your store.  People are starting to get tired of the cold and are ready for spring to get here. Start putting out all that wonderful spring clothing you have to sell. Also, Valentine's Day and St. Patricks is next month, so put the red, green and hearts out too.

FEBRUARY - Spring Break is just around the corner, so keep the spring out and make sure you have bathing suits on. Easter will be coming soon so start putting your Easter outfits on. Raincoats, boots and umbrellas are great this month.

MARCH - Stores are starting to put spring items on sale now so you need to start selling summer clothes. Shorts sets, sundresses, sandals, sun hats, bathing suits, all this needs to be on now and any other summer items you have.

APRIL - People are going to start buying for their summer vacation, so make sure you have plenty for them to choose from!!

MAY - Summer sales are still going on now. By the end of the month they should start slowing down. If you need to supplement, try luggage, books, beach toys and other items that people would take on vacation with them.

JUNE - You need to start thinking about Patriotic outfits now. Switch any summer items you have left to your store listings. Start putting your fall & back to school items in your store now.

JULY - Start putting on your back to school items. Many people will start buying these as school starts next month! Don't forget the shoes, backpacks, hair pieces, sweaters and jackets.

AUGUST - Keep on selling the back to school and fall items.

SEPTEMBER - Fall items are still selling now as well as Halloween outfits. Supplement also with toys as people will start thinking about Christmas coming up in a few months!!

OCTOBER - Christmas or other Holiday outfits will start selling now. Try to have family outfits if possible, they sell well. Fall sales are probably starting to slow down now. Next month is Thanksgiving when families get together so you should do well with nicer dresses and outfits. Start bringing out the winter items. Children's luggage will start selling now too.

NOVEMBER - Winter sales are going on now. Don't forget boots, coats, hats, gloves and scarves. People will also be buying these items for gifts. Sweaters make great gifts so make sure you list plenty of those too!! Possible expansion items would be Christmas ornaments, wreaths etc...

DECEMBER - Make sure all your winter items are on at the beginning of the month. If you can, sell other gift items (calendars, toys, crafts, etc...) this month. Clothing sales will be very slow, but you can do very well if you expand a little with other gift items for the Christmas Season!!! Consider offering gift wrap free or for a small fee, many people do not like to wrap!!!

I hope this guide helps you!! If you have found it informative please click YES below, thank you. Good Luck with your ebay business :-)
