Playtrade advice needed

Hi

I have started to sell things that werent selling too well on ebay on playtrade, although the price obv includes postage i still find that they go for more than they would on ebay including postage and that they sell much quicker. so ive been selling books and games on play trade for a few months now.

Anyway today i saw an MP3 player that i liked and noticed that although play.com sell it some playtraders also sell it. I would like to sell my old MP3 player, which i have had for two years, but was top spec at the time and has been kept in a silcon cover for two years and has no marks etc and is fully working etc, i looked on ebay and it would fetch £50, i looked on amazon and i would get about £80 however i dont have ana amzon account and want to sell on play trade but i cant see anywhere were i can choose to sell an electronic, my only options are things like books, games, dvds etc.

Anyone no if i cant sell an mp3 player and where else i could try

sorry its a long post

thank you

    I think only pro traders can sell electronics on Play.com

    taken from play.com
    Apply to become a ProTrader
    ProTraders can list an unlimited number of items on PlayTrade. A monthly subscription fee of £19.99 is charged to your PlayFunds account. For more information about PlayTrade fees, please review our Fees Guide

    I'm not sure if a normal seller can list electronics on Amazon either though, someone might come along who knows.

    Ebay might be your only option, or gumtree, local ads etc

LOL sorry had to be done .......ha!
