eBay Clothing - How to Find Hidden Deals on Beautiful Bras & Lingerie

Use Descriptive Keywords

When using eBay search, choose keywords that describe in detail what you’re looking for, such as "push up t shirt bra," "La Perla lingerie," or "plus size intimates".

This will help narrow your search and take the guesswork out of searching multiple listings.

Sort Results by Newly Listed

This is a great option that allows you to see listings that have just been added but may not have attracted a lot of attention.

Set Alerts

This is a great way to get advanced notice!

Create alerts for your favorite styles, fabrics, sizes and brands. As matching listings become available, eBay will notify you.

Check Ratings

Feedback tells you a lot! 

Sellers with positive feedback and high ratings are more likely to provide accurate and detailed descriptions of listings and offer better client service.

Browse Detailed Descriptions

Reliable intimate apparel sellers will list items with detailed descriptions, including brand, style number, fabric information, sizing charts, care recommendations, etc.

Consider International Sellers

Don’t forget to check out international sellers. They may offer particular styles, sizes or colors that you’re looking for, or a favorite discontinued style that can’t be found locally.

Shop During Sales Events

This tip may seem obvious, but it’s good to remember that sales on intimates are cyclical.

Set an alert in your calendar and you’ll be sent notifications on eBay clothing sales that offer discounts on a wide range of items.

This is an ideal time to snag some really luxurious pieces and stock up on hard-to-find styles for less.

Explore Designer Collaborations

Some designers create exclusive styles for eBay at more affordable pricing.

Look for these collaborations to enjoy luxury pieces without the typical high-end price tag of their regular lines.

Focus on Fabric

Often overlooked, fabric quality is so important!

Look for deals on lingerie made from premium materials like silk, satin, or lace.

These classic materials are all about a sense of luxury and elevate the feel and splurge-worthy appearance of any undergarment.

Have a Spending Plan

It's easy to get carried away and spend more than you originally had in mind on beautiful lingerie! How can you prevent impulse spending and stay on track?

Once you’ve decided on the style you want, decide on a range of how much you want to spend before you start searching and don’t go a penny beyond.

Take a Look at Sample Styles and / or Gently Worn Designer Pieces

Another little-known way to get a designer look for less on eBay clothing is to search for high-end samples. Sample styles from previous seasons are often quietly sold online once a production run has finished.

Also, if you have a yen for glamorous vintage lingerie, you can sometimes find gorgeous pieces that are often hand-stitched and of great quality for a fraction of the cost.

Signature T-Shirt Bras

Smooth and seamless with no show-through, this is a full coverage lingerie drawer essential that goes with virtually everything.

For a polished appearance, opt for a T-shirt bra with business or formal wear (perhaps the perfect little black dress?).

And, for a more casual look, pair it with jeans and a simple tee, and your everyday favorites.

Chic Lace Bras

One of the easiest ways to add a touch of sexy to whatever you’re wearing is with an-always-in-style lace bra.

A versatile favorite that’s sophisticated and makes a statement, especially in black lace, this bra is great under a sheer blouse, a low-cut dress, or any other outfit that you want to zhuzh up.

Active Athleisure Bras

We love the casual appeal of this crossover basic! Why? Athletic and sports bras have a more relaxed fit and feel compared everyday bras.

Can you wear this style beyond the gym? Absolutely. Mix and match it with popular athletic gear and casual wear like leggings, yoga pants and more for an effortless gym-to-street look.

Convertible Strapless Bras

More flexible than you think, convertible bras are the answer to what to wear with strapless, one shoulder, and low-cut clothing.

For a sleek look, consider a style with seamless cups and invisible grippers along the inner edge for a stay-in-place all day comfortable fit.

Plunge Bras

The perfect pick for peek-a-boo and deep V necklines, a plunge bra is angled for a sexy look.

Supportive and comfortable, this type of bra is great for everything from casual tees and shirts to dresses and gowns.

Provocative Push Up Bras

The creme de la creme of padded bras designed to give your girls a boost, a pushup bra is, in a word, fantastique.

Available in a variety of cleavage enhancing styles that include graduated foam, gel, and even air padding, this style can be worn with everything from everyday and weekend favorites to corporate and formal attire.
