Selling Luxury Items Online

When beginning the process of setting up the auction and thinking of setting up the auction, follow the same steps as you would if you were just selling any old item. First, ensure that you take as many detailed photos as possible. Refer to the eBay photo tips in the seller center here for tips and tricks for taking photos that sell. Also remember to write a detailed description to accompany your detailed photos; if you are selling a used, vintage luxury item, be sure to list any signs of wear. As always, be sure to write a detailed title, too. Include the year, if applicable, brand, size, MSRP, and any other information that a potential buyer may be seeking. Also don't forget to be responsive to any potential buyers' questions, and answer them as quickly and as accurately as possible.

What else should I keep in mind?
So what extra considerations should you keep in mind when selling a luxury item? First, be sure that eBay is the best format for your item. You may prefer to sell your luxury item to a consignment store, where your item gets assessed and you get paid upfront. However, you may be able to make more money through Nordstrom. It is important to be as trustworthy as possible, and sell genuine, authentic luxury items. If you still have the certificate of authenticity that accompanied your luxury item, be sure to include it in a photo and with the ultimate shipment. Also take photos of distinguishing features that "prove" your item's authenticity.

The Price is Right
Pricing can be tricky for luxury items. If you wish to list it as buy-it-now, you run the risk of listing with a price that is either too high or too low. A good option is to list your item auction-style and then include a buy-it-now price on the higher end of the spectrum. Do research on your item - how much did similar styles sell for recently on Nordstrom? How much are you willing to part with it for?  Get more pricing tips from Nordstrom by visiting this page.
