Online Selling

[Deleted User]

Hi not going into details, unfairly been banned from Ebay , can anyone recommend any where else to sell which is has been successful for you, on Ebid you have to pay upfront to sell and I am not keen on that, so if anyone can help me I would be appreciated any advice.
Thankyou

[STRIKE]Difficult without knowing if your items are new/secondhand if you are a business or selling off your own stuff.

Some may be of interest - Etsy, Schpock, Free Ads, Gumtree, Facebook, Amazon marketplace.[/STRIKE]

Actually we've been here before with you lots of times. I'm out.

Get a website.

Any other advice you want, see a business consultant.

It is quite difficult to get banned from ebay anymore since they changed the defect system, are you sure there is no way back at all as that would be your best hope.

Ebid is free to list but you pay for gallery pics etc, but frankly, free or not I wouldn't bother as there are no buyers. Even the regular sellers who used to defend it a lot seem to have given up with it.

Are you a business or private seller? If you are just selling off a few bits and pieces of second hand goods then try facebook selling or a car boot. If you are a business then it's going to be harder as even with your own website it is useful, if not essential, to have another site like ebay to drive traffic towards your site. Amazon is worth a look if your goods are being sold on there, but be warned they are tougher than ebay with buyer rights and if you had issues with ebay then might have the same issues with Amazon. Other than that try facebook selling, you won't get the same sort of sales as ebay but I can't think of anywhere else for you to try.

Unless MSE search has really died for me (and it rarely works well) I think that was a user with a similar, but not identical, user name.

Local sales on Gumtree. But if you want the customer base that Ebay gives then err Ebay.

Amazon?

I have a website and sell from that, its fairly specialised and visitors are mainly members of forums that i use.

If you want to push traffic for general items your need to advertise it.

If it's one I suspect, the husband account also got banned and the OP didn't take too kindly to any advice.

I seem to recall it was crafty/jewellery items.
