How to Sell Used Pottery Barn Kids Items on eBay

One mother's trash can be another mother's treasure--especially if that "trash" is gently used Pottery Barn Kids items. Ebay buyers are willing to spend decent money for Pottery Barn Kids nursery decor, even if it's used. So instead of donating or throwing away your child's home furnishings, earn some extra spending money by selling your used Pottery Barn Kids items on eBay.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

1. Figure out what pattern or design grouping your Pottery Barn Kids items are classified under. Some examples include "Pink Island Surf" and "Brady's Airplane."

2. Search eBay for other items of the same pattern currently being sold. Take note of what prices they are fetching, particularly if the items are used.

3. Take photographs of your used Pottery Barn Kids items in good, natural lighting. Ideally, use photographs of the items while on a crib or bed, in a clean room. Pictures are more compelling when there are no children in them, but the nursery should have a homey feel.

4. Include the words "gently used" when describing your item, and also use terms like "pristine condition" and "from a pet-free, smoke-free home" if they are truthful. Any circumstances explaining the items' lack of use--such as you purchased this bedding set and a few weeks later selected a different one--will make your auction more attractive.

5. Price your items fairly. Look at the starting price of other used Pottery Barn Kids items that have sold successfully and choose a similar price. If your starting price is the same as what the item is selling for new in the catalog or store, you won't get many takers.

6. Include a return policy. This makes your auction more attractive to buyers.
