CQOut, Play.com (Rakuten) and Gumtree are others but they will pull very little and are hardly worth it

thanks for the suggestions. I already have my own website but it doesn't get enough views. I dont know enough about SEO and i'm not willing to pay a lot of money for professionals to do it. I have contacted play.com to become a seller and have also setup an amazon account. Also have a facebook page with links to my website, ebay shop etc..
Is that pretty much all i can do now?

Takes time and a lot of homework.
Good Luck |

thanks | Not sure that rsot has had enough time to do facebook yet.
He's really very busy.
Hopefully others may chime in with info regarding facebook.
Last I checked facebook there was an expectation of payment. What put me off facebook is its own rules & methods of dealing with issues.  |

Getting views on facebook that actually converts into sales seems to be pretty hard unless you promote the page and pay a fair amount of money. Doesn't seem worth it unless i can get a lot of sales coming from facebook

I dont remember him ever mentioning anything about selling or even having a facebook page.
He would not have the time to pack any orders from anything but ebay I wouldnt think.
Hopefully the OP looks into all options and comes up with a plan.
I also would go for a website. One of the members here just posted a newly made website and some good info from our website genius members in that thread. Check it out.

I believe that newly made website is also mine ( GMC Trading * *Electronics Direct to you - GMC Trading Home) :D. I've been told its an impossible category to ever get recognized though
