Hi ladies (and gents)
I have recently discovered the marvel that is Ebay and have seen some lovely things on there for sale at very reasonable prices, i.e. Bundles of baby clothes etc.
Anyway, although they are mostly used items, the fact is (as most parents will know) that babies barely get ANY wear out of their clothes as they grow out of them so quickly, so the majority of the clothes listed are in perfect condition.
I have started to take the opportunity whilst having a good few months financially to scour Ebay very carefully and invest in various bundles for the different age ranges, i.e. 6-9months, 9-12months etc.
Normally the bundles are big enough to be able to last the whole age period unless of course your a designer lover and need something brand new for your baby to wear for every day of the week.
However if you are on a tight budget and worried about affording clothes for your LO's I think Ebay is fab, there are alot of NEXT items on there too for bargain prices.
I would say to go carefully though because there are those who make up for the 99p start bid price by whacking on a hefty postage cost, so watch out for those!
A few tips:
Check Sellers rating ( I never buy from anybody with a rating of less than 100%)
Always check postage charges before bidding
Clearly read through and take note of sellers descriptions, that way you know what you should be getting and whether there is any damage, don't just go by the photographs!
Anyway, not sure if there have been any similar posts before but I thought I would share this as I believe done carefully, Ebay is a great way for us mums with slim budgets to ensure our LO's still get the very best!
