is it worth trying to sell used DVD/ CD cases on eBay?
Due to lack of space, I recently replaced my CD jewel cases with plastic wallets and most of my DVD cases with plastic folders in ring binders.

Facebook Marketplace - easy to get scammed as a seller?
I don't particularly like selling on eBay. It's a last resort for me for a few reasons - * the fees. * the ease with which a dishonest buyer could screw you over.
