What are some good platforms to sell on aside from the basic popular ones we know of?
 

I am looking into branching out here. I love Etsy because they don’t hold ur funds for more than 3 days (for new sellers) I haven’t seen a updated post here on what platforms you like and why and what are other options out there!

Amazon, etsy, walmart.com, poshmark, mercari, craigslist, facebook

depends on what you sell and what is your preference-fixed price or auction

there is also sears.com if you sell tools

etsy is not too shabby.

no,it has expanded to antique,vintage stuff

yes.Bonanza is still around,but NO sales for me.
It will copy your Ebay listings and update them

ebluejay,ecrater,Rubylane,WMT,Sears

We can discuss this all day but i personally think there is nothing that competes with the big boys ebay amazon etc

Just the amount of sales they generate for you no other platform does that which tbh is really rubbish as its much harder for one when they are not on these platforms to sell

I thought that website was just for homemade crafted stuff ?

It is - but lots of people are making a killing there. They have significant volume for what they are.

is that site still about ?

For what I sell, I make my living off eBay and also bring in a little revenue via Etsy. I have tried Amazon but not a single sale. I have tried Facebook and Gumtree but have been scammed or bombarded with a-holes messing me around so they are untrustworthy.

i need other alternative too

Never put all your eggs in 1 basket as in ebay or amazon, if your account gets limited then your at a loss.

Use different venues to sell

Besides Etsy, Bonanza is a good place to expand. Back when I was selling in higher volumes, I had ~70K annual revenue from Bonanza at my peak. It made up the bulk of my sales. You get solid advertising on Google Shopping and elsewhere, my products often made it to the top of the search results. Bonanza has a self-referral affiliate link where if you direct any traffic to your booth, you will pay zero in seller fees. Bonanza also has no set limits unlike eBay, so you can list more expensive items and higher quantities without an issue.

Craigslist is 100% dead where I am. No sales in months.

What's the difference between a booth and a webstore on Bonanza? Is there a significant difference sales-wise?

Re: What are some good platforms to sell on aside from the basic popular ones we know
 

I must have sold 2 items on Bonanza,in 5 ?6,7?years??
There is a site called MERCARI?
A friend of mine has sold 152 items so far,it is mostly trash with poor pictures,sloppy descriptions,but he has nice things and accept offers.
So it depends on what you sell.

I sold around 2,000+ on Bonanza, and it was my main revenue source back in the day. Sales will grow once you build up your store and reputation, and there are some good perks with Bonanza that you don't get elsewhere. I have sold on Mercari, but only around 10+ items over the years.

HoWS etsy going for you?

Very nice experience on Bonanza - wow :thumb:

Re: What are some good platforms to sell on aside from the basic popular ones we know
 

I sold primarily phones, tablets, and hotspots. I'm a technology re-seller, so I also sold other technology or technology-related products.

Re: What are some good platforms to sell on aside from the basic popular ones we know
 

Yeah. Unfortunately, my booth was suspended a few years ago. It was basically the equivalent of a VERO strike on eBay. DMCA. The primary company whose products I basically sold for years had filed a complaint, and this killed the account. The products also ceased to be so profitable around this time, so I have largely slowed down selling ever since.

Trying to get back in the game now with a new [stealth] account registered under an LLC. Will likely take some time to get off the ground.
