How to stay safe when buying or selling on Facebook Marketplace
While youโre spring cleaning, youโre likely finding some things you want to get rid of. But before you post it online to sell on places like Facebook Marketplace, or you see something you want to buy yourself, there are a few reminders.
Spring Cleaning: Turn your trash into cash online
Anything can be sold online, and it doesnโt always have to be done by a major retailer. A new eBay survey reveals that the average American household has about 50 unused items around the house, worth more than $3. With platforms like eBay, Poshmark, and Craigslist itโs easier than ever to sell your stuff. Thereโs a right way and a wrong way to do it online. Be honest, and youโll end up getting the most cash for your trash.
Having trouble finding a PlayStation 5? Youโre not alone
Thatโs the message from every major retailer if youโre looking for the brand new PlayStation 5. Some lifelong gamers, like Erick Koblick, arenโt willing to fork over that kind of money. โItโs a way of life.โFor those who are willing to shell out extra dough for the gaming console now, thereโs still risk involved. He doesnโt recommend buying a big-ticket item like the PlayStation 5 from a reseller unless you can meet them in person for the transaction. If you do plan on meeting up with a reseller, make sure to do in a public place.
Trying to make a few extra bucks? Sell your old items online: 9 ways to guarantee youโll profit, and quickly
For anyone looking to make some extra money or replenish that pocketbook, have you considered selling your old items online? Even if theyโre in used condition and youโre selling them as such, youโll still want to make them look attractive to potential buyers. If youโre selling clothes, include a shot of what the item looks like on. And if youโre selling kids stuff, upload a photo of your kids actually in the clothes (again, blur faces if youโre worried about privacy!) If youโre selling a dresser, for example, be prepared to provide all dimensions, weight, info about moving it, etc.
