I'm looking to get rid of them but there's no rush (so don't need to use Cash Converters, Music Magpie or the like).
I haven't sold on eBay for years. Is it safe to sell on there or is there anything I should be careful of - ie. insist on PayPal and not sending until money's in my account etc?
Thanks for any help provided.","comment":[{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52676028","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"ApolloCreedXXX"},"datePublished":"2024-05-01T17:14:19.000Z","text":""},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52676155","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Mrcrazyman69"},"datePublished":"2024-05-01T17:37:20.000Z","text":"FB marketplace is decent if you live in a high population area. Scams are pretty common sense to avoid(cash only, don't post or allow couriers). In my experience the scammers are unbelievably easy to spot and you'll only really fall for it if you're too trusting.
eBay is excellent, but unfortunately the scams on there are completely out of your control. All it takes is for the buyer to turn around and claim the package didn't include the item and eBay will likely side with them, even more so if you haven't sold on eBay for years and lack positive seller feedback. I ship using Royal Mail Tracked only(don't use Evri..) and usually film myself boxing up the item, just in case any issues do arise.
If you do choose to sell on ebay then make sure you use the 70/80% off fees offer that comes around(there's one currently). It's only really worth selling when those offers are live."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52676302","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"SR94UK"},"datePublished":"2024-05-01T17:59:03.000Z","text":"If you live in a city, ebay it, collection only, it's against the rules but just take payment on the day in person when they collect
