How to Sale Stuff Online?

[HotRoderX]

This most likely seems like a pretty stupid question but! I see people selling stuff in Mech Markets on Reddit and Geek hack. I was wondering bit about how it works.

I read about some of ebay's horror stories and that has always keep me from selling things online. Though might look at unloading some things in the future that just don't need. I would like to get some advice, onions etc from people that have been there done that.

Another thing is how do trades work? I see people trading artisan's but that seems really really easy to get scammed and the price of some of these items holy crap.

What exactly are you looking to sell? As for trades I only do trades with people I've sold or bought to before, or are very respectable members of the community.

Most likely some keyboards and perhaps some keycaps! I have a Vortex Pok3r I was thinking about selling also a Ducky One.

How do you even anything?

But seriously there's a few threads on this exact topic already.

Read the rules they practically tell you what to do.

And nobody is getting my onions.

PS: I  might post more later, let's see who else chimes in.

This thread might help.

Or this one

And honestly most things are common sense and doing your own research.

I've had plenty of deals both ways that seemed shady but so far most things have worked out ok, there will always be idiots.

Heck I just got 2 keyboards recently that I didn't even get asked to pay for until after I received them, this used to be the norm but too many shady folks nowadays.

Personally I tend to lean towards using a paypal invoice and always pay or sell as goods, and even when trading if you aren't comfortable agree on a value and cross invoice with the other person and pay each other that way you've got some recourse if things go bad.

Unfortunately there are people who know exactly how to work the system and scam, this can not totally be avoided just be smart about what you do and cover yourself as good as you can.

I like to put a note when selling something that the buyers need to understand what they are buying the same goes when selling you need to get your head wrapped around it so you understand what to do,  once you get a few things sold and delivered you'll get the hang of it.

Ask for feedback from people, use trackable shipping, if it seems to good to be true it probably is, follow the rules and as much as these types of threads get old at the end of the day just ask and we'll probably help.

PS: many of us who have been around a while don't mind the occasional PM either if someone needs some direction

PPS: I like to ship through paypal using USPS either first class for smaller things or priority for other things, flat rate boxes are often your friend. Use tape and make sure to use padding and it is super easy to print labels at home as well.

PPPPS: I've had much better luck buying and selling on r/mechmarket than I ever have here.

Start small, ask for references, always get tracking, pack your stuff well and ship it on time, follow your gut if anything seems weird. Your best bet is to jump right in. 99% of people here are on the up-and-up.

Also , gotta make sure you can trust ur bottom bit*h..   You'd assume she's skimming.. and allow that to a certain degree,  but if it exceeds that,  gotta get down to business..
