Just for our readers, we’ve created this nifty How to Sell Your Items Online Cheat Sheet.  Download and enjoy!

​

​Step One: Google “How to Sell xxx Online”

The first and easiest way to figure out how to sell your stuff online is to simply Google it.

You want to list your item on the site that has the biggest audience of potential buyers. For instance, if you were selling a set of golf clubs online, Ebay may be the best bet.  But if you were selling custom hand-embroidered tea towels, Etsy is where you want to be. Selling antiques and collectibles often is easier on sites dedicated to those items.

The Big Guys: Ebay and Amazon
​

It will come as no surprise that selling your stuff online on Ebay and Amazon are popular methods.

Both platforms have incredibly large audiences, thereby increasing your chances of selling your item quickly.  There are fees associated with using both services, so be sure you are aware of what you are agreeing to before listing your items.

Lesser Known: Ebid, Bonanza, Etsy, Collectors.com
​

As mentioned above, Etsy is a great site for selling handmade and craft items online. If you have beads, buttons, fabrics, and vintage items to sell, be sure to give Etsy a look.

Ebid is a site that is similar to Ebay, but doesn’t have the same amount of traffic. If you’re selling on Ebid, you’ll want to market your items elsewhere, too.  On the plus side, however, EBid has lower fees than the big guys.

Bonanza is a great option for selling more unique and quirky items.  Bonanza has a large audience, has no listing fee, and a low commission percentage compared to Ebay.

Collectors.com is a great option to sell your collectibles online.

Local Options: Craigslist or Facebook Groups

The best thing about selling your stuff online locally is that you pay zero fees for listing and selling.

If you live in an area that has an active Craigslist community, try listing your item there.  Photos are key to selling your items. Use common sense and caution when meeting with buyers: only accept cash and meet in public places.

If you live in a community without a lot of Craiglist action, selling your stuff in Facebook Groups is a great option.  Find local Facebook groups to list your items and be sure to follow all the rules. You’ll keep all the profits of selling via Facebook

Apps to Consider: Letgo, Offerup, Etc.
​

There are several apps that let you create accounts and list your items for other members to see.

Apps like LetGo, OfferUp, and 5Miles, etc. are certainly options, however, many users complain about spammers, failure to show up to buy, etc.  Be sure to read reviews from users before signing up for an app.
