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?
I still use Craigslist, but only for items I just want gone. Like, “This thing is free and sitting out on the curb. First one here gets it.” I’ve given up on actually buying or selling there. Too many flaky people who don’t know how to communicate or fail to show up at the agreed time and place.
eBay is my long-standing go-to for buying/selling used things that have actual value. I’ve been screwed twice in 20 years. Both times it was a seller who took my money and never shipped my item. When I sell things, the buyers have always been great.
I avoid Facebook Marketplace, though I hear it’s the popular spot now.
How much money do you lose on fees and shipping all said and done? I need money but my introversion is pushing me to pay the price to not deal with Facebook marketplace.
