About footwear lots
Footwear is a classic flea market and online category. Sorting by size and style is the key task, and matched pairs in popular sizes sell fastest.
Sort by size first. Popular sizes sell first, so price the odd sizes to clear.

Pricing approach
Sort by size first. Popular sizes sell first, so price the odd sizes to clear. Compare against recent sold listings rather than asking prices, then subtract freight, fees and an allowance for units you cannot sell. Use the profit calculator to test your numbers.
