The market for lingerie and intimate apparel is growing steadily as trends in women’s fashion move to the more revealing and sensual. Shopping for lingerie, however, can be daunting in traditional stores where neighbors can pop in, complete strangers stare at the teddy you’re about to try on, and pushy saleswomen who work on commission want to see you in that thong so they can tell you how perfect it looks on you.

Because of the personal nature of shopping for lingerie, the internet is beginning to play a huge role in the experience. Purchasing lingerie online allows the shopper to view all of the details and compare to other products and even other online stores.

As a seller, setting up an online store can be costly and frustrating as it involves not only the display pictures of your products but also the back end where orders are taken, credit cards are processed and shipments are made. An easier way to sell lingerie is through eBay, the online auction house. Not everything sold on eBay happens through auctions and many sellers set up virtual stores on the site for customers to browse their wares. Selling lingerie on eBay is easy if you take your time and set it up right. Here are some tips to getting started selling lingerie on eBay:

1. Check out eBay Pulse- before you offer anything for sale, it is important to understand the demand for lingerie. eBay Pulse offers you a look into what’s selling well, what’s trendy, and what’s not. Offering only in-demand items will ensure that you sell frequently.
2. Find a source- there are two ways to provide lingerie for sale on eBay. The first is the most traditional method. You can purchase inventory from a manufacturer or wholesaler and keep it in storage until it sells. The second method is to find a dropshipper. A dropshipper will take your orders and send the product directly out to the customer. You will earn a commission on the sale. This is an attractive option for several reasons. You do not have to pay for unsold inventory and tie up your funds. You also do not have to find space to store inventory while you are waiting for it to sell. Accounting for the transactions is also easier as you only have to track the commission rather than the cost of the item and its sales price.
3. Keep the books- every small business, whether they are online or not, has to keep an adequate set of books for tax purposes. Keeping proper track of your business finances also helps you to understand what is and isn’t working in your business. Knowing your historical performance helps you predict what next month and next year will look like.

Selling lingerie on eBay can be a lucrative business. Taking the time upfront to set it up the right way will put more money in your pocket.
