Making cash for your old prom dress is easier than you think. Check out this guide for tips and tricks of selling your formal dresses on eBay.   There are two kinds of prom memories: Good ones and bad ones. But whether yours was like an episode of High School Musical, or reminiscent of a Steve King movie, you’re ready to sell your prom dress on eBay, and graduate to something infinitely more fabulous. And with millions of people shopping on eBay, there’s probably no better (or easier) way to find it a new home. Keep reading to learn how to get started selling on eBay. Start by doing a little homework by checking eBay completed listings. Nothing will give you a better indication of what the eBay marketplace will bear for your prom dress than seeing how much an identical or like item has sold for already. Reviewing these listings will also help you determine the right keywords, and details to use in your title, and description, which is the next step. Need more pricing help before moving on?

Read this How to research and price your items guide. The next step is to write a great title for your item. It doesn’t have to be clever or even creative. Just think like a younger version of yourself, an eager prom dress buyer, and include the following descriptors, where possible: Silhouette or Style: Cocktail dress, full-length gown, A-line silhouette, sheath, fit-and-flare, mermaid, column gown, empire dress, trumpet skirt, high-low gown, etc. Material: Taffeta, chiffon, satin, lace, etc. Color: Solid, multi-colored, patterned, etc. You can also reference those completed listings we mentioned previously to see how successful sellers have captured the essence of a prom dress like yours. If it worked for them, chances are it’ll work for you too. Now it’s time to write a great item description. Your title got their attention, but they want to know more. Include all of the details from your title, and add the following descriptors: Resist the urge to photograph your sparkly mermaid gown on an unmade bed or carpeted floor.

Instead, take photos that sell. If possible, put that frock on a mannequin. If that’s out of the question, find some good lighting, hang that number up, and choose a clutter-free, white background. Don’t have a friend model it because buyers need to be able to envision themselves in the dress. Also, snap shots from several angles, and take close-ups of embellishments and/or flaws. If it’s prom season (April or May), you’re looking to sell your dress quickly, and you’ve determined that it’s a hot selling item on eBay (via your completed items search), you might want to use a shorter, auction-style listing to make some quick cash. However, if you’re selling it during the off season, you might want to go with a fixed price listing, and wait for the right buyer, and the highest price. Read this guide for more on how to choose the right selling format. Buying a prom dress is an extremely emotional undertaking. As a result, be receptive to questions about small details that you might not have thought to include in your description.

As a rule, it’s a good idea to respond promptly and politely, before and after the sale. This will ensure a smooth sales transaction, and help you score positive feedback as a seller on eBay. Once your dress sells, don’t leave your prom-goer hanging. They’re probably chewing their fingernails off already. Put that dress in a protective bag, and place it in a sturdy box. Make sure it’s not crammed in, but also that it doesn't have space to jostle around. You don’t want beads and other embellishments to come loose during shipping.
