For me personally I have more tech and hardware stuff but also just general items. I used Craigslist back in the day but that site now seems even worse. Am I correct or do I just need to rethink how I post? It’s never been good but it’s seemed like it’s never gotten better. I’m aware of Facebook market place but I really want to stay away from anything meta if possible.

I’m scared of getting scammed selling online. With all the nonsense sellers can say, the fees to eBay or whoever, shipping costs and hassle, online and shipped is the last resort for me unless it’s something small and simple.

Do I have to take my stuff to the flea market, set up everything in my trunk, and hustle?

    Long time ebay seller here:

    Just a quick tip for how I like to do it

    -take (good) pictures of your items

    -box it up

    -weigh it

    -finish listing the item.

    Depending on what I’m selling, and how fast I want to do it, and how much it would potentially cost to ship it, this is usually a very good way of doing it. I like using Ebay because it’s very informal and you don’t have to deal with the irritating interactions of people quite so much as on the other platforms.
