With So Many Places To Sell Your Stuff – How Can You Decide?

When it comes to places to sell your stuff online, the Big Platforms like Shopify, BigCommerce, Ebay, Amazon and some others will certainly get you a lot of traffic. People who search on these sites for something you have in your shop, or something close to it are likely to see you show up in the results. Of course someone else may have something in the results too just like your “one-of-a-kind” item. So what does that tell you? If you sell on only one site, there could be a lot of competition for what you have to offer. Be it one-of-a-kind, vintage or new and branded, there will be others.

  • The old DIY – do the multiple eCommerce platform listing yourself.

Relatively easy. You send your listing with title, description, photos, prices etc., and let the Service do the work of putting the item up on multiple sites.

DIY – Do the multiple eCommerce platform listing yourself:
Pros Cons
Little to no cost. Some sites charge nothing to list (only pay a fee when a sale is made), others charge a small listing fee. Every time you make a sale, you must make sure to remove it yourself from the others sites you have it listed on. Tedious.
