ebay Sales Week of September 4, 2025 – September 10, 2025
This week leaned into clearance deals and seasonal movement which included things like hoodies, jackets, and even a hiking pack heading out the door. Discounts and BOGO offers are still doing their job moving older inventory, even if margins run slim at times. I’ll share both the buyer’s order total (what they paid with shipping, tax, etc.) and my earnings after fees, labels, and promoted listing costs.
👉 Quick definitions for anyone new here:
-
Item subtotal = sum of the item prices.
-
Order total = what buyers actually paid, including shipping, taxes, and fees.
I’m running a 60% off summer clearance event with a flat $12 shipping promo on 3+ items, plus 10% coupons layered in for extra incentive. Promoted listings are still steady at 2%.
Now let’s get into this week’s Top 10 👇
🏆 Top 10 Sales
1. Gingham Shirt Factory Ben Sherman Colorful Button Down Long Sleeve Mens L (10% coupon)
Buyer Paid (Order Total): $10.23
Earnings After Fees/Shipping: $2.42
Notes: A clearance steal for the buyer. With VAT and shipping, margins were tiny, but the goal is clearing space and keeping items moving.
2. 3-Item Clothing Lot (BOGO + $12 flat shipping)
Buyer Paid: $21.55
Earnings: $6.83
Notes: Bundles are still doing their job in moving lower-value pieces. After fees and ad costs, not huge profit, but three items gone in one shot is worth it. (One of the 3 items shown below).
3. Carhartt Distressed Hoodie Black/Gray Zip Sweatshirt Mens L (10% coupon)
Buyer Paid: $21.19
Earnings: $9.32
Notes: Carhartt always pulls attention. Even discounted and distressed, it made a solid sale as fall hoodie season ramps up. 💪
4. Franco Sarto Flex Loafers Black Leather Slip-On (Resold After Return)
Buyer Paid: $19.85
Earnings: $4.56
Notes: These sold once before the store revamp, were returned, and sold again. Shoes can be hit or miss, but still happy to see them finally out the door. Woop woop! 🙌
5. Vintage 70s Pink Pleated Chiffon Dress Ms. Classic 14
Buyer Paid: $19.49

6. Lapogee Boho Maxi Dress Neutral Brown Sleeveless (Promoted)
Buyer Paid: $18.99
Earnings: $7.18

7. New Starter Cleats Black & White Fielder Mid (10% off sale)
Buyer Paid: $18.83

10. Hollister Super Skinny Jeans Men’s 30×32 (Promoted + 10% off)
Buyer Paid: $16.50

✨ Final Thoughts
This week’s Top 10 sales brought in:
-
$181.64 in total buyer spend (order totals)
-
$66.40 in earnings (after fees, labels, and ads)
The wins here aren’t huge individually, but that’s the point, clearance + promos keep stale inventory moving. With fall around the corner, hoodies, jackets, and backpacks are already picking up momentum. Fall is also my happy place. It’s vibing outside, doesn’t make me feel bad for inside, it’s just the best.
Top 10 recaps drop every Thursday.🤙
