Selling genuine Pandora charms

Options
I have quite a few Pandora charms (and bracelet) that I no longer wear. All of them are at least 4-5 years old. All of them were bought directly from Pandora and are genuine and I’m wondering where is the best place to sell them?

I know eBay is currently full of fakes, does anyone know how I can show mine aren’t?! 

I don’t have the boxes or recipes any more. 

Thanks

    Not a lot you can do really.  All the fake sellers will state theirs are genuine so your listing will not look any different.  Have you tried any local social media market place ?
  • You could sell via an Auction House in a specialist Jewellery Auction. They wouldn't knowingly sell if they had any doubts on authenticity.  Downsides are though you'll probably pay 20% commission,  and you won't get much back. I've seen 10 charms go for £45 and £60 Total recently.
  • Pandora charms may cost a lot new but they generally don't sell second hand for anywhere near what they originally cost.

    There’s lots of Pandora on my various Facebook groups at the moment, many saying unwanted presents but also many bought in the half price sale and hoping to make a small percentage as a bonus on top.

    it appears to be going at considerably less than cost price, and much of it is still boxed with a receipt . Strangely, some people seem reluctant to return unwanted charms and bracelets which appear to be well within the Pandora states return period makes me wonder what they are up to.
