Craigslist Is My Number One Choice For Selling Personal Items

I have written about this before, the fact that I think craigslist is a much better option for selling off personal items rather than ebay. Four years ago, you would have seen me putting up stuff on ebay to earn extra cash. But after numerous problems with ebay, I don’t know if I’ll ever sell something on there, again. If I got one more email from Xaing Yang from China about he he has wholesale goods for me to sell on ebay (a.k.a. he’s going to steal my money), I was about to explode. Ebay raised all of their fees about 2 years ago, as well. Not to mention, the market is officially flooded. Unless you have an authentic, signed jersey by Mickey Mantle or an original painting from Picasso, you won’t get as much money for your stuff as you would have 4 or 5 years ago. Once you factor in the listing fee, the closing fee, and then those little added shipping costs that you always forget to factor in when charging shipping, ebay isn’t the way to go.
