Have managed to do a springclean!
Knew it was time when I caught Immelda Marcos enviously rummaging in my walk-in wardrobe eek

Ive had a look at 'pre-loved' website,looks quite good as you dont get charged sellers fees..... anyone used it??

Its really specifically Handbags (sob!) and jewellry I want to get shot of.
Getting a little jaded with E-bay... does anyone know of any alternatives??

I was trying to avoid asking that question as I'm trying to clear out my own surplus-to-requirements stuff but since you've asked it....

fashionspace.com is worth a try, they have a boutique (new) and 2nd hand sales section, and also a swap area too. I sell on their in the boutique section (I make jewellery) and it is quite a busy site.

Good luck with selling the handbags - I can't bear to sell any, or shoes either, I'm a bit of a hoarder like that :-D

Preloved is brilliant I use them alot :-)

Have you tried Amazon for selling things?
I prefer them to Ebay for some reason as I usually go there first, dont know why, as neither has done me wrong. :-)

I'll take a look, I always thought Amazon just did books!.. see what you learn :-)

Rach, I like the look of Preloved but couldnt quite figure how it works, would you mind taking a wee minute and explaining the rules/how it works/whatcha do.. to thickie here? cheers :-D

No worries Huskygal :-)

Preloved is the same as Amazon and Ebay where you register and then sell or buy or exchange I think you can do as well.
Register your details and then away you go! Nice and simple once your actully registered ;-)

Amazon I think is so much better then Ebay as things are delivered alot quicker and their customer service is top notch.
