I used to sell things on eBay pretty regularly.
At one point I was even buying stuff from poundland and then selling it for a couple of quid profit each time and sometimes hitting up car boots to see what I could get.
Soon enough though the eBay fees went north and combining that with having to deal with feedback from customers where things went missing or they weren't happy I just found the whole thing quite stressful.
Now it seems though eBay reselling (buying stuff on the cheap and selling it for a profit!) has made a bit of a comeback and quite a lot of people seem to be doing it again.
I just found the whole manual task of get item > list it > Package > send on > deal with money etc. to be quite tiring at times. Especially when you have so much to sell each week. I really struggled at times fitting it around work and many a lunchtime did I have to trawl to the ONLY post office in Norwich city centre to send my items off.
Has anyone thought about giving it a go or do they already make a good amount from it?
What about other sites like Etsy or those smartphone apps you can use now to sell things to your local community?
