I see a lot of things that can be sold on these awesome sites, disposed or neglected in storages. This is sad because, a lot of money is being wasted. Well, even though some of them can be recycled, but what of the ones that can’t?. 

Selling used stuff on sites is easy. Most at times all you have to do is just sign up and take pictures of the stuff you want to sell, and upload it. Whenever people see what they like, they can contact you.

There are people that make thousands of dollars every month selling used stuff on some of these sites. Some of the used stuff you can sell are clothes, shoes, furniture, cars, phones. I listed selling books as one of the business ideas you can make money from, in one of my articles.

Below are list of some sites that you can sign up to. Most of them do not require you to identify yourself. If you have a Facebook account or an email, you are pretty much ready to get started. You do not have to give people your phone number in order for them to contact you. Discussions can be made inside most of these sites.

1. EBay
This website has been around for many years. You can sell things on auction and when you make a sale, you can ship the item to the customer. EBay has a final sale fee, the fees they charge depends on items sold.  

If you want to sell items faster, you can choose to promote them. If you do not want your items to be sold below a certain amount of money, then you can set a price reserve.

2. Facebook Marketplace
Almost everybody uses Facebook. You can choose to take advantage of their platform by listing the items that you want to sell, and whenever items are sold, you can mark them as sold. 

As a Facebook member, you can choose to join any buy and sell groups. This can help you reach more potential buyers, and you can get feedback from them. When a potential buyer sees your listing, they can decide to send you a message, asking about more information on the item. You can start up a conversation with them and discuss, how they might want the item to be delivered.

3.  Letgo
It is very easy to get started with this company, you can start selling almost immediately you sign up for an account. With millions of members, find a buyer in your local area should not be hard. People can send you a message in order to know if the item is still available.

You the seller can decide to meet a local buyer and exchange the item for the price you have agreed on. This can help you to make more because there are no fees on this platform. They do advise that all discussions should be done through their platform.

4. Gazelle
If you have a phone nobody is using or you are tired of your old phone then this website is the place for you. With this site, you can trade-in used phones and get quick cash for them.

They buy used phones from people and resell it to other people. They may fix the phones and sell it to there customers or companies. On this site you can also buy phones if you want.

5. Poshmark
When you go to garage sales, you often find used clothes that are still in good shape. You can decide to buy them and sell them on Poshmark. This site is a buy and sell platform, where people can buy and sell used fashion. You could sell clothes, handbags, shoes and many more. They are one of the biggest social marketplace for fashion.

You can take advantage of millions of members that this site has. Signing up is painless and their customer service is one of the best. They make sure that the buyer and the seller are comfortable on their platform.

6. StillWhite
Wedding dresses are precious and sometimes very expensive, but some people who just got married or have been married for many years, may want to sell their wedding dress. 

On this platform, people can buy and sell wedding dresses. To get started you can pay a one time fee of $20 for standard and $30 for premium sellers. This is good for those that need some money or want to help out a future bride that could admire the wedding dress.

7. IDoNowIDont
If you have diamonds or precious metals like gold, then you can sell them. It is true that you can sell your precious metals locally in stores like pawn shops, but having an option to list your precious metal and see if it could sell for more is a good idea.

On this site, people are already engaged and they love to shop for precious metals, if yours is unique or rare, they can jump on it and pay top dollar. If you make a sale, this website will keep up to 25% depending on the selling price.

8. Reverb
On this platform, you could sell guitars, drums, microphones, and many more. This website gets millions of visitors every month, and those are potential buyers. You do not need to own the items in order for you to sell them. If you know someone who has a lot of musical instruments and want to sell some, you can help sell them for a percentage.

This platform has a fixed selling fee of 3.5% and you can list as many items you like because it’s free. Once a sale is made, they will take their 3.5% and when sending the money to you, they will also take a 2.7% plus 0.25$. This is fair because most platforms could take 20 - 30 % per sale you make. 

9. 5miles
The structure of this site is to help those who may not want to spend money in shipping items they have listed for sale to find local buyers, so that they can meet and make an exchange. People within 5 miles from you can see your listings and if they want to buy they can contact you.
