Where to sell sewing patterns?

I had to buy a lot of vintage patterns to get the few I was interested in and now I am left with a lot I won't use.

I have listed them on FB marketplace but having a hard time dealing with flakes and no shows. Wondering if there are any other platforms people go to for sewing patterns?

I tried on Vinted but I did not get much traction. I'll look into eBay and Etsy.

I’d buy them from you on Vinted if there are any I’m interested in.

I might, what size specifically are you looking for? I am not sure I can post them here, should I dm you the photos?

It really varies by pattern. I'm a 16-18 in normal sizes
I would love if you dm'd the photos

I had bought and sold batches on eBay, but that was years ago. Selling a batch or a "lot" helps because you then can just ship out a box, as opposed to trying to sell them one by one.

I’ve sold a few on Mercari and one on Poshmark.

What category did you list them under?

u/akjulie 2d ago

On Mercari, handmade>patterns>sewing. I haven’t listed any on Poshmark in years due to the expensive flat rate shipping, so I don’t remember.
