Make money by selling your old stuff online

 Sell Your Old Stuff and Make Money Online

I spent the weekend de-cluttering my room, something that I have been trying to do since so many weeks, and now I have a huge heap of stuff that I do not need. Clothes, shoes, accessories, computer items and what not. Donating some stuff away could be a nice idea but is there a way I could resell the stuff and earn some money? Yes, maybe open a make-shift shop outside my house?

A number of reselling websites have sprung up in the past some years which provide a market place for used items that are no more required. These websites are free to sign and come up with some good features that are user-friendly and help in earning an extra buck as well. Some of the sites that I found good enough for the purpose are listed as below:

A number of reselling websites have sprung up in the past some years which provide a market place for used items that are no more required. These websites are free to sign and come up with some good features that are user-friendly and help in earning an extra buck as well. Some of the sites that I found good enough for the purpose are listed as below:

              1) eBay:
eBay which started as an auction site is one of the best sites in the world to sell stuff be it new or used. As they say, ’Anything sells on eBay’. You have to sign up on the site and list your items. You can compare the prices with other sellers and thus be able to generate good amount of money. The auction tools help the buyer to bid for the item and thus keep the prices competitive. You would need to craft the listing in order to make it more pleasant to the customer and also better than the competition. A good photograph, descriptive note would go a great way to sell your item

     2) Craigslist:
This site is very popular among anyone who is looking for either a service or an item. The sign up and listing is free but the pickup of the item has to be arranged. This site can be used to sell larger items like expensive furniture, machines, bikes etc.

       3) Amazon:
Amazon is one of the top ecommerce sites in the world. Although it mainly is used to sell new items, it can also be used for old items. There are options of either a free listing or a paid version. Keep an eye on the cut out that Amazon takes, could be a bigger chunk of the sale.

      4) Quikr/olx:
Sites like olx.com and quikr.com have come a long way in the past one year providing a platform for people to sell their used stuff online. These items range from cars, bikes, jewellery to even rented spaces. There are features of the seller as well as buyer being notified of listings as per their requirements.

   5) Facebook Marketplace:
Facebook can be used to sell old stuff if you have a good social presence or if your page has a good amount of traffic. You need to figure out how to add a payment gateway to the pay (Facebook has a paid option for that) and also the delivery methods need to be taken care of. If your page gets famous, you can be benefitted by word of mouth.

        6)  Etsy:
Etsy is for items that you make yourself but also for retro and vintage stuff especially clothes. You can sign up for free and start an online shop where people would buy your old stuff
