Anybody Here Have ANY suggestions for Selling Besides eBay, Marketplace, or Craigslist?
I just sold approximately $1400 worth of car audio amplifiers.

I let them go cheap and grossed $615. After their fees, I wound up with $343.56!!! AND they don't even use PayPal anymore, so you may have to wait as long as 30 days to get paid!

I've been a user for several years, sold a few things here and there, but I've NEVER seen it this bad! It's borderline extortion!

Anybody have a similar experience, or other suggestions?

I'm FURIOUS!

Set up your own Shopify or Big Commerce website.

There are all kinds of auction where you can consign things that you want to sell. I think most have a flat fee, but it's around the same amount of money as If you sold it on ebay.


Craigslist even charges if you sell a lot of stuff.

Everyone wants our money.

Whatnot has smaller fees than eBay.

The auctions are live feeds from a webcam. You sell the item in a few minutes instead of days.

I've heard items sell for a bit less than ebay but that's only with the specific items I deal with.

You tried to sell them too FAST.

Ebay is okay for selling....Just list them at a decent price and let them take a few years to sell at the reasonable price, if it takes that long.

I list as auction, with a starting price that is acceptable to me. If it doesn't sell, just relist forever until it sells. I used only free ebay listings though.

It's normal to pay someone 30% commission to sell anything rather low priced for you, so ebay is not overly expensive as a rule.

Look into Mercari. It's like ebay. I've only used it to buy things, not sell. So I don't know about the fees, but seems quite pleasant. I find stuff on there that I can't find anywhere else.

eBay is fucking garbage now, unfortunately they still have a monopoly on the used items market most likely thanks to their delusional seller fanbase.

The execs of the company sent death threats to the owners of an ecommerce review website ffs


Bonanza, Mercari, offerup, etc. are alternatives but don't have nearly as big of a userbase

Yeah, ebay fees should only be around 12% in total. They include tax now too in the price, which is added after the fact.
