 Better sites to sell on than Amazon and eBay. Okay, so you're selling on Amazon and eBay and you're getting crushed. You're getting crushed because you can't compete with these low prices and the fees are ridiculous and you don't know what to do. Well, you've landed on the right video because I'm gonna tell you what to do. I'm gonna show you better places that you can be selling your products on, making more money, have less hassle, less competition and we're starting right now. Hey, I'm JR Fisher.

Okay, so I've sold millions of dollars of products online, both digital and physical products and I gotta tell you, I started off at eBay and I went to Amazon and I had them both rolling pretty good and I learned a lot along the years and we've sold a lot of different products but you know, since I started and I started selling in 2009, there's a lot of other places. There's a lot of other alternatives out there now. eBay used to own the market. I mean, eBay was where you had to be and when I started out, Amazon was not even that big in 2009. They were big but eBay was the place you wanna sell your products and a lot of that's changed. So in this video, I'd like to share with you my opinions on that and places that you could make some money. You don't have to pay these stupid fees and you don't have to lower your price to where you aren't making any profit and just listen, you're gonna love this. Now, the good part about eBay is that it's huge. The bad part about eBay is that it's huge. It's really hard to stand out. If you're selling products on eBay or Amazon, it's really hard to get your product in front of people. Now I'm sure you can run ads and have it pop up at the top but if you don't wanna run ads and you just wanna get some business, maybe you don't have money to run ads. Maybe you're just starting out. eBay and Amazon, I think it's not gonna be the place for you. Now the first one I wanna tell you about is eBid. eBid's very similar to eBay but the cool thing is you never pay more than a 3% fee to sell. Now, you can be into double digits with eBay and that's pretty darn high. And also as of this recording, there's a $99 lifetime seller fee. In other words, you pay this 99 bucks, you can sell for a lifetime on there and they run specials every now and then where you can get as much as 50% off. So you wanna check out eBid, really cool site. If you're selling all around the world, eBid's great. But what if you're selling locally? What if you just wanna sell local and you know, eBay takes so much of your profit, it may be some items around the house you just wanna get rid of. Here's what I'm gonna tell you and a lot of people are scared of it but don't be if you do it right is Craigslist. Craigslist is a great site to sell stuff on. You do have to be cautious. Yes, there are scammers out there. I'm gonna cover that before you guys say that and put stuff in the comments because I know there are scammers out there. Matter of fact, if you did get scammed and you had a problem, put it in the comments there, you may help some other people. Now the cool thing though, I mean, let's put it out on the table here, is that there's no listing or selling fees on Craigslist for most items. Now I know some of the categories do have fees now but for the most part, if you have some items around the house you wanna sell or some individual items you're just gonna sell, there's no fees. Now it's primarily a local type thing. So if you're trying to sell nationwide, Craigslist not for you but if you're trying to sell local, it's really good and the safe thing to do is meet these people at a, I don't know, UPS store, something along those lines or a coffee shop and you can get the items to them. Pick a close place to your house and say, hey, this is where I'll be, this is how you can pick up the item. Another cool thing that I like to do if I'm selling something local is I just give it my PayPal account. I said as soon as I receive the money, I will meet you at the store at three o'clock or whatever time we pick. If I don't receive the money, I don't go down there, I don't waste my time, everything's all set that way. What I found is 99% of people will pay you on time and you can get rid of that item. So Craigslist is really good for locally sold items. Now another newcomer in the market is called Letgo. Letgo's really cool and it's an app on your phone and all you have to do is open the app. The cool thing about Letgo that I like that's a little bit more, I guess, inviting than Craigslist is that as soon as you open the Letgo app, you'll see items and images on the very first page. It's there. Craigslist, you're gonna have to search through it a little bit to try to find the items you want, but on Letgo, the items are right there. People see those items, so you're actually getting some free advertising. The next one up is OfferUp. OfferUp is a great one. It's an app on your phone and it's very similar to Letgo and as much as when you log in, you're gonna see images right on the pages. Now they're not categorized, but you can search by categories. In addition to that, you're still gonna have to set up a meeting place and time with anybody who wants to buy your products, but it works a lot like Letgo. The next place that a lot of people I think overlook, my wife's really good at using this, is the Facebook Marketplace. You can put stuff in the Facebook Marketplace and sell locally. Now the cool thing I like about the Facebook Marketplace is when somebody contacts you through Facebook, you can actually go to their profile and see who they are. If you're using something like Craigslist, you don't know who they are, you don't know where they are, you don't know if it's a scam, it's not a scam. You know, if you take the right precautions, you're gonna be okay, but the thing about Facebook is I can look at their personal profile. Now I guess the drawback is, if you wanna sell to people, they have to be on Facebook, but most people do have a profile on Facebook. Even if they don't use it a lot, they probably have one just to stay in touch with family members, so you're gonna reach a lot of people on Facebook. And the other question I ask is, if you do not have a profile on Facebook, and it's 2020, what's going on, okay? Are you hiding something, is something wrong? I have a profile on there, I don't really post that much of my personal profile, but I'm there, and you know, that lets people know who I am, what I do, they can figure it out, am I a scammer, am I not a scammer, it's pretty easy to see. The next one is Bookoo, that's B-O-O-K-O-O. Now, they're a fairly newcomer in the market, but they are in most states in the US, in some states more than others, they're more of a local sales thing, there's no selling fees, there's no buyer fees, so that saves you money right there. Now, you may say to yourself, well, they're not very big, and there's not that many listings there, and that's true, and you're not gonna have as much exposure, but keep in mind, if you're on a site like that, you have less competition also, there's fewer people selling, so your products can show up a whole lot easier on a site like Bookoo. Now, I wanna get into those of you out there who are selling clothing. I don't do this, I've never sold or bought it, but I know my wife has, and it's a big thing, and the first one I wanna talk about is Poshmark. Now, at the time of this recording, Poshmark makes things pretty easy, it's really great if you've got women's clothes, men's clothes, kids clothes you wanna sell, they have a flat fee. Anything that's under $15 is a 295 feet, so there's not a lot of profit there, but if you're just trying to get rid of items, I get it, you know, that works. Anything over 15 bucks, you're gonna pay a 20% fee, so it is a pretty high fee, but keep in mind, you set the price, and it's a one-of-a-kind item because what you're doing here is you're selling used items. A lot of people make a lot of money selling used items, they go to thrift stores, they buy stuff for a dollar or two, they put it online for 15, 20 bucks. So it is a great place to sell clothing, Poshmark. Now, the next site is Vintage, V-I-N-T-E-D. It's a great place to buy and sell second-hand clothing. Now, a lot of it is vintage second-hand clothing, but here's the cool thing about this site, they don't charge any fees whatsoever. All you gotta do is list your products on there and collect the money. You're still gonna have to do something like PayPal to get people to pay you, but I've found that PayPal, pretty much everybody has nowadays, and if they don't, they can set up an account in a couple minutes, and they can get the money to you, and you don't have to worry about the money being good, a bad check, bad credit card, any of that stuff. Now, keep in mind when you use PayPal, there is a fee in many cases, so you're gonna have to pay a fee there, but since you're not paying any fees to sell on the site, it's a pretty good deal. Now, the next one is Tradesy. This is the last one I wanna talk about, but it's a really cool site. This is more for the people who are selling designer handbags, clothing, shoes, that type of thing. Their fees are a little bit high, however, people come to the site looking for these products, so if you have got a high-end designer-type product, you wanna sell it, it's a great place to sell it. For any items over $50, they're gonna charge you a 19.8% fee. For anything under $50, they're gonna charge you a $7.50 fee. Now, that could change, that was at the time of this recording, but that's not a bad deal if you've got some high-end vintage shoes, handbags, clothings, designer stuff that you wanna sell, it's a great site to sell it on. Now, there's a lot of other sites you can sell on. I just wanted to briefly go through these because so many people are wanting to sell, maybe even used items, and eBay has just become cost-prohibitive, and the competition's too stiff, and the prices are too low, and you just can't sell anything. So what I've noticed is a lot of these apps are going to more localized-type sales where you can sell locally, you can make money, and some of them don't even charge fees like I just told you. Check out some of these sites. Maybe you've got some sites in mind that you think are really good too. If you do, put those in the comments below. Let us know about those sites there too.
