Selling Products Online

[Reverie]

Have you ever sold items online? Perhaps through an Etsy shop, Ebay... or even Facebook Marketplace? I know there are also several apps for selling, but I never had much luck with those. Have you had much luck?

I've sold 200-something Yu-Gi-Oh cards on eBay since I'm a big collector of them and sometimes I'll pull cards that are not essential to my collection that give me some extra bucks. If I saved a lot of very old cards I had when I was a teenager, I'd probably have thousands of dollars from them considering how rare they are nowadays, but I foolishly gave them away to multitudes of people because I thought I was done with the game and I was just a stupid teenager that didn't think about his future or a profit by any means. I traded away a card that's worth about $5000 now and the trade ended up being very much in the other traders' favor.

I've sold a few things on eBay a few times, and my wife started an Etsy store during lockdown which I helped her with. But apart from that I don't do much online selling.

I've sold a domain and a forum online. I've done that on NamePros and on Forum Promotion, respectively.

I have a Yu-Gi-Oh card on eBay I'm trying to sell right now and it hasn't even gotten a single view in the past three days even though when you sort by lowest price + shipping, my listing is the cheapest one on there. Not sure why my collectibles app says the card keeps going up if no one seems interested in it.

I’ve sold plenty of things online, whether it be shoes, consoles, etc. I sell on eBay or Depop depending on what I’m selling. I’ve also used other platforms but I prefer these two. Only downside of selling on these platforms is the fees but I suppose that is the cost of doing business.

I once sold an old iPhone on eBay and the buyer said they never received it. They agreed to half a refund and the post office gave me $50 as the tracking couldn’t prove where it was. I didn’t know back then about PayPal and eBay cover so I just vowed to never to sell online again.

Now whenever I wanna sell something I just give it away or pass it onto my mum and she sells it on Facebook marketplace. I just hate dealing with people and certainly don’t want them coming to my house xD
