The best 2 options the I have found are as follows:For small easy to ship items that have a reasonable value, use E-Bay. the shipping cost and hassle is minimal. You get a larger potential choice of buyers so you should get the highest price possible.For larger items (bikes, furniture, etc.) use Craig s list. I ve never had a problem selling items there and most people want to come see this type of stuff so you are better off marketing it in your local area.
I agree with the other posters who have mentioned Amazon, eBay, and Craigslist, but I ll add my two cents on the strong-suits of each, as I ve used all three to buy and sell. And I m not sure exactly of the nature of your items, but I have a suggestion if they are homemade or vintage.I love using Amazon for books, cds and dvds, or any other published thing because you can just type in a little info and amazon fills in the rest of the details, usually including a picture. That saves a ton of work!For other unique items, eBay is okay but a little more work to photograph and otherwise document your item. eBay is losing favor with me, however, because everybody is looking to make a fortune or come away with a steal. Depends on the items though.As another mentioned, Craigslist is awesome for larger items that you do not want to ship. Try to be as descriptive as possible to avoid a flood of questions.If these are items that are vintage or that you have crafted yourself, etsy.com is great. You can actually create your own online store on Etsy to sell your crafty creations. However, there are restrictions so read Etsy s rules. I haven t sold on this site but I love to peruse there!
I shop from Amazon.com all the time and the service is excellent. It is user friendly, my cc number is safe and their customer service is excellent. ie. return policies, etc. I love the customer reviews of the products which help me decide one way or another to buy and the presentation of the product, such as enlarged and side views of the item. I highly recommend Amazon.
I sold stuff on ebay before I got my own website.I prefer selling from my own site now as there are no fees for stuff that doesn t sell and no time limits as to how long I can display something.If you are selling online I also recommend PayPal, it s a good way to be able to accept credit cards without paying merchant fees to banks.Good luck.
Quite a few people are now using craigslist. It s free and can be local customers so there s less chance of getting ripped off. Many folks like craigslist for purchasing articles they can physically look at and touch before purchasing. You can list articles by state and nearest city. Good luck!
