Hey all
I've been meaning to have a huge marie kondo style clearout of my wardrobe and I started listing some on eBay, most things I've started at 2.99, 1.99 quite cheap, but now I'm thinking there's not really any point combined with PayPal, postage and eBay fees.

Wondering if there are any other alternatives out there ?

Maybe gumtree but I would prefer to post the item than someone collect because of timings, is it safe or will there be hassle along the line?

Thanks

Have you tried Facebook Marketplace? It would all be 'doorstep collections' so no fees or postage!

Try depop or letgo. You ship the items and get paid via paypal... 90℅ of the items are clothes. (Mostly used "vintage" "retro" type clothes) some of em are a rip off and others are not too bad in terms of pricing. Bought 3 ps4 games for £15 and discovered i could've bought them from CeX for £9. Seen some nice deals on a few clothes but I'm put off by the fact I'm gonna be wearing someone elses clothes. Wearing my friends' jackets ain't the same as wearing johns old rags. (Not john who runs this website. It's just a name.)

I second Depop, I've bought and sold plenty of things on there without any issues.
They sometimes do no fees weekends, which helps :)

Thanks, I gave the ones that didn't sell to charity, but have listed some on eBay before I saw this. If it doesn't sell there will list on depop
