Do have Blahnik taste on a Wal-Mart budget?

If The Shoe Doesn’t Fit, the auction site for shoe lovers, was created to remedy that problem… and so much more. This is a new online auction site designed to help shoe lovers buy and sell fabulous shoes without having to wade through other merchandise. It provides individuals and businesses with a simplified, low cost solution to selling shoes online.

The site is tailored to people who love shoes and everything that goes along with them. If The Shoe Doesn’t Fit has categories for shoes and all shoe-related items: Footwear that would satisfy everyone including the funky fashionista, the star athlete, and even the shopper who wears the unusual size shoe. Sellers can offer shoe supplies and accessories as well; shoe clips, and laces, and polish, oh my!

Buying and selling shoes at online auction sites is nothing new, but an auction site that sells ONLY shoes is!! Forget plowing through UFO detectors and shrunken heads (yes, those things have actually been auctioned off online!). There are no distractions to take away from the focus on shoes and shoe accessories on If The Shoe Doesn’t Fit. Distractions on other sites may mean spending more money! No need to worry about stumbling upon a digital camera or a new phone when the desire is for a pair of Uggs.

If The Shoe Doesn’t Fit was designed to simplify life for the online seller and their business. The fee to list shoes for sale on the site is $1.00…that’s it. Pay a dollar, post the shoes. Sell the shoes, keep the money. There are no final value fees, no fees for photos, bolded headlines, highlights or gallery listings. It’s simple and affordable.

The site is ideal, easy enough and within the means of the casual seller; there’s even a video to walk new sellers through a listing step-by-step How to List Shoes. Perfect for the gal who runs out of space in her closet but can’t bear the thought of throwing away her forgotten footwear; she can make some money and buy new shoes! She can spend a dollar at McDonald’s and get two apple pies, or she can spend a dollar on If The Shoe Doesn’t Fit and turn enough profit to buy two pairs of candy apple peep-toe pumps instead.

Different and unique is the opportunity to swap shoes on the same site. Without ever having to leave the comfort of home or step out of pajamas, shoe lovers can connect with people who share their sense of style and shoe size. And listing shoes for swaps is FREE!

The site’s quick and easy registration process is a step in the right direction for shoe shoppers and shoe sellers. To sell, swap or shop for shoes, If The Shoe Doesn’t Fit is the perfect place!

Tamara Mellon is considering selling Jimmy Choo, which is worth around £500 million, or roughly $800 million. The former fashion editor, who is president and CEO of the company, is “sounding out investment banks about ’strategic options’ for the business,” according to the Telegraph. Since she owns one-fifth of it, she could stand to bank up to $160 million from the sale. According to the Telegraph, “The company’s shareholders may appoint an adviser to help work on a ’strategic review’ for the sale,” set to possibly happen by the end of the summer.
