How To Sell Old Dolls On eBay As Collectibles
One of our customers asks inquieres about old dolls: Are there any restrictions to sell old dolls on Ebay as collectibles? What is the best way to describe and present them?
Well, we are here to help:
When selling old dolls as collectibles on eBay, there are a few key things to keep in mind:
You should specify item condition. In fact eBay has specific condition categories for collectibles, including dolls:
- New: Brand-new, unused, unopened, and undamaged item.
- Used: Previously used item, with details on any imperfections.
- For parts or not working: Item that doesn’t function as intended.
Thus be sure to accurately describe the condition of your dolls, including any flaws or damage. Add detailed description and provide comprehensive information about each doll:
- Doll name and brand.
- Age or year of manufacture.
- Measurements.
- Clothing and accessories included.
- Any condition issues or repairs.
High-Quality Photos Are Essential!
Upload clear, well-lit photos that showcase the doll from multiple angles. Allow buyers to zoom in on important details. Surely, the best way to show the doll “in all its glory” is not a verbal description, but several photographs of the doll taken from different angles. The best option here is to use the SellerSyncPro app.
Accurate Pricing
Research similar sold listings to set fair starting bids or “Buy It Now” prices. Consider offering a “Make Offer” option.
Shipping Considerations
Be aware of any potential restrictions on shipping dolls internationally. Some antique dolls may face import restrictions in certain countries. And don’t forget to describe how you’ll package the doll for safe shipping. Collectors often appreciate careful packaging for fragile items.
Authenticity
Note that if you’re selling rare or valuable vintage dolls, consider getting them authenticated or providing documentation of their provenance.
Keywords
Use relevant keywords in your title and description to help collectors find your listings. Include terms like “vintage,” “antique,” or specific doll brands and eras.
