Do you sell stuff...

[firecat]

...on Amazon, Half.com, or eBay?

Which of the venue(s) do you like, and why?

(I've sold on eBay before, which is fine, but it's a lot of work. I've heard selling media on the other two is easier.)

I haven't sold stuff on any of them, though I've bought through both eBay and Half. There's AuctionDrop (http://www.auctiondrop.com), but the commission probably makes it less appealing for smalll items, if your goal is income rather than "get rid of it".

I sell on all of them now and then -- which one you should use for a particular item totally depends on the item. Being about to pass out, I'll try to post some details/explanation sometime tomorrow.

The amount of work involved with Ebay has always put me off.... my daughter has sold a few things for me there.... but like you I have stuff to get rid of.... I'll be interested if you find any easier online selling media.

I sell on Amazon.co.uk. I like it because there's very little hassle involved, and books are easy to parcel up. The main reason I don't sell anywhere else is that trying to pack other objects semi-professionally seems too stressful to me.

I like Amazon for media. Much easier, no pictures required, also you set the price and it sits there until it sells (unless it goes over 30 days, in which case you'd want to think of relisting it anyway). Also you don't pay anything unless the item actually sells.

I've sold 6 books so far on Amazon. Very easy.

I'd probably sign up for the $40/year plan $1/book if I do this more than very casually.

Nice listing tools and clear notices.

I like not worrying about what price to list something at. Amazon has great suggestions.

Question needing answer.

Hi, I am starting my own at home business and I was wondering how I can sell stuff online at no cost to me, see I also have paypal, so what can you suggest me to do? Can you e-mail me and let me know. Thanks.
