Top 6 Places to Sell Online

Thanks for the great info! I had not heard of most of these, but will try them out. I am also fed up with eBay with the way they turned corporate. I think W**M*** is now listing on there as "Buy".

This is a big turning point for eBay. They are going to lose so many sellers if they keep letting these corporations sell on there. Losing sellers means eBay also will lose a lot of their flavor. Eventually, losing their flavor will lead to losing customers.

I don't understand why people price items so low to where they are making pennies on an item. Nothing P*ss*s me off more than when I research an item (on & off eBay), buy a quantity of that item, then in a week or two, someone else has the same item on there for only pennies higher than what I paid for it, if I'm lucky. I know some of this is my fault for not finding better suppliers or not buying bulk enough, but you get my point. I'm just a regular guy, not a corporation.

If people would just be cool and not so greedy, more people could make a living selling online. If I could make $5 each on good items, I would be happy if I could sell about 20 items a day. The way it is now is I have to try to sell one or two big items a day. I would rather sell these big items at a lower cost, but I don't have the smaller items to fall back on for some of the profit loss on the bigger items.

I hope the places you listed turn out better. By the way, I also checked out eBid and it was just a bunch of ads and links. eBay must have bought them out already.

Great place to be is bonanzle.com This is a free listing and low fvf site.

I'm also on eCrater but havent' sold a thing. Been on iOffer for 5 month, sold very little. Forget Ebay...ate up all my profit in their fees.

Bonanzle, been there for little over 2 month but sold more than I did on iOffer. There is a great family feel and a very open forum board with many people helping anyone new. I would suggest to give it a spin

A lot of these places, Ebid. bluejay, are great places if only the buyers would show up. Instead tumbleweed has shown up in their place. I want to try out this overstock.com but I fear it's another dude. Ebay and Amazon need competition but so far the buyers aren't looking elsewhere. In other words, it's not the venue that we need in order to sell successfully elsewhere, it's the venue that attracts customers. I was on bluejay for year, listing items that would sell in 1 to 2 days on Amazon or ebay. In one year on bluejay, no sales. I took all the items off bluejay, put them on ebay and sold them all immediately. What good is no fees with no buyers.

try http://www.bonanzle.com or http://www.shoptimesaver.com for buying. They are both user friendly and get many visitors.

I was on ebay for a long time and they got more of my money than I did. It's ridiculous! They would do alot more business if they were fair with their fee's. I could have 25 items listed and if 5 of them sold I still had to pay listing fee's on the items that didn't sell. It was not profitable for me. Plus I got ripped off by sellers all the time and ebay always sided with them.
I had one person who bought a dress from me, wore it and returned it. I know she wore it because the tag was missing and there was dirt on the hem. And I had one person who claimed they did not get their item, which was a one of kind vintage gown, that I was forced to give her the money back so I was out the money, the shipping cost and I lost my dress! I never ship anything without tracking confirmation since then. It does not good to have no return policies if ebay is going to screw over the buyers anyway. You have no say in your policies, the buyers have more rights.
I sell now at Etsy and it is wonderful! It's only for handmade, vintage, things such as banners/avatars/business cards or items such as buttons, fabric, beads etc that others can use to make things. It is such a dramatic difference, it's like another world away from ebay.
I can post an item,,, and it's only .20 to list it, it stays up for 45 days!!!!! and the fee I pay after selling is soooooooooo much less percentage than ebay. I have had alot of luck there. I have things listed on DaWanda as well, free item listings, you don't pay anything unless your item sells... but no luck, I sold 2 items to the same buyer and she never paid and I am having to pull teeth to file an unrecieved payment to get the fee's dropped.
Kaboodle is a community that allows you to place the items you have on sale from other stores in a list on your profile. You don't actually sell things on there but you get alot of traffic to your shop site and items because your items become so much easily searchable. I couldn't find my items through a google search until I started using kaboodle and now they come up just like w**m**** or any other corporate sellers items.
Sorry I talk alot I just wanted to let everyone know about etsy.com and kaboodle! They are great!

Sick of Ebay fees. My money on the www.ioffer.com

I personally really like www.sellcent.com because they only charge 1% final value fee and they are based in Australia. Ioffer has more fees than even ebay that's why that one shits me.

I know a young lady who claims she sells miscellaneous merchandise online and makes 15% commission/profit. She wont tell me who or what her clients are or where she gets all her products from. She'll change the subject. What I do know, is that she doesn't handle the merchandise nor stock it at her home where she works. All she has to do is list these items and then make some transactions or whatever. She earns enough money to live off of and go on fancy vacations. And it seems as if she barely puts any efforts in doing this type of work. Every time I talk to her, she's busy watching youtube videos and listening to music, reading books, calling up old friends, watching TV, and just living life however she wants. She claims she sometimes forgets to remove the "for sale" signs, and is lousy at returning emails from customers, and sometimes ignores them as if they'll take a clue that the item basically sold. What is this? I need to know. She wont tell me, because of pride and self respect, no matter how I ask her. I'm literally going insane, this isn't fair. Point me in the right direction? (Save my life) I'm in serious debt.

@ Johnny, What a female bee eye tee see ayych if she wont tell you wont tell you what she does for a living. In this economy it's surprising if anyone can survive off of anything today. We either go and get multiple jobs today and bust our rear tails at some hard labor jobs or get lucky enough to hoard all the opportunities to ourselves. Dog eat dog world. Every man or women for themselves. Signs of the times are coming! The American way! I'd disassociate with her if distance persists. That's no friend. Friends help friends when in need. None of this bovine scatology! Way too cold for me.

I have never heard of these sites before. And no mention of Zibbet.com here yet. What a shame. I sell on Etsy and Zibbet. Used to on Art Fire but this was before their recent changes and higher monthly fee. SO not worth it. Etsy charges smaller fees than most to list. The same when items sell. Zibbet charges NADA to list OR sell. They have a Basic or Premium option. In these difficult economic times, Zibbet.com is the place to sell.
