Feeling the need to declutter? One way to help your budget and bank account is to sell used things online. However, the Internet can sometimes seem like the Wild West when it comes to interacting with other people, and we’ve all heard of people being scammed by others online. I’ve rounded up the 10 best sites to sell used things online, so that you can make a little money off of the things you no longer need.

For the sites that don’t have you paying through the sites’ platform, the best way to have people pay you is to do it through Paypal or Venmo. For local transactions, you can still use these or accept cash (make sure to meet in a public place!).

10 Best Sites to Sell Used Things Online

Craigslist

Craigslist has been around forever, and it’s still a great way to list items online and sell them. We’ve successfully sold several used cars on Craiglist and haven’t had any issues. As with any situation where you’re meeting someone in person, though, make sure to meet at a public place (the best recommendation is to meet in the parking lot of a local police station!). You can sell pretty much anything on Craigslist.

Facebook Marketplace

Facebook is another top place to sell used items online. You can sell locally or have people pay for shipping if they’re not local. You can sell almost anything on Facebook Marketplace.

VarageSale

VarageSale was a new site to me, but it is legitimate. It allows you to sell locally and verifies who you are through Facebook. You only interact with other verified people. You can sell most things here.

eBay

Ebay has also been around forever, and it can still be a good place to sell used items online. List any item and have bids for it or sell it at a fixed price. You are covered by their seller protection, but you’ll also have fees to pay — usually 10-15% of the final value. Read More→
