The freshness will entice buyers to buy or place a higher bid. ⭐️ Fix any minor faults on clothing where possible. Hole in a coat pocket? Missing button? etc. Some buyers might be a bit lazy and if they see a fault that they know they would have to fix then they will be less likely to place a bid or a higher bid. ⭐️ Useful hashtags when sharing your listings/clear-outs online on social media: #secondhandbutgrand #ebayseller #forsale Editing by Simon ❤️
