Is it a good idea to find someone else to sell my stuff on ebay?

Answer by  diva25 (4016)

I think you are better off selling your own stuff on ebay. Those places could swindle you out of money. You can keep all the money that way. The only way that I would ever let someone else sell my stuff is if they were a trusted friend or family member.

It's always better to sell your items yourself, since you know best what it is that you're selling. You're better qualified to write the eBay entry and also to answer any questions buyers might have. Plus, you won't have to pay someone else part of the profits!

It depends on your computer skills, and time. You will make more money if you sell for yourself, but if you don't know how or don't have the time to properly market your items, it might pay to hire someone to sell for you. For low priced items, it's best to sell them yourself.

It is best if you can sell your stuff on ebay without the help of another person because then you don't have to share your profits. If you use a 3rd party, you have to give them a percentage of what you make. Only use a 3rd party if the item you are selling is expensive.

You can do that since you will have more possibilities of becoming famous and earning more money,but it may take some risks regarding security.

It would probably make more sense for you to sell it yourself. You will lose some profit by having to pay someone to sell your stuff.

I think you are better off doing it yourself. That way you avoid being ripped off. You have to be careful. Do research to see how much stuff is worth.

No. Ebay's learning center can teach you how to go through the process yourself.
