Reselling guides

Plain-English playbooks for selling secondhand — what works the same everywhere, and what each marketplace does differently. Free to read, no account needed.

Start here

The fundamentals carry across every marketplace — learn them once.

Reselling basicsThe apps are the easy part. What's hard is knowing what a thing is actually worth, what to say about the scuff on the back, and whether the person messaging you is real.

By marketplace

Every marketplace has its own rules, fees and habits. Here's what actually matters on each.

eBayWhy item specifics decide whether buyers ever narrow their way to your listing, auction versus Buy It Now, handling time and seller standards, returns, and how eBay's fees work.
eBay's size ruleseBay now blocks or hides clothing and footwear listings whose size field is missing or non-standard, including items you listed months ago. What counts as non-standard, and how to get a listing visible again.
PoshmarkWhat actually moves items on Poshmark now that sharing works differently, plus offers to likers, Closet Clear Out, style tags and bundles — and how to stay visible without risking your account.
MercariHow Mercari's fees and Smart Pricing shape the price you set, plus shipping choices, protecting your rating, and getting a stalled item seen again.
DepopThe photo style Depop buyers expect, writing a listing that gets found, offers and bundles, shipping, buyer protection, and what you can't sell there.
WhatnotGetting approved to sell, prepping and running your first live show, what sells well, seller standing, shipping and how Whatnot's fees work.
VintedHow Vinted's fees fall compared with everywhere else, listing well, shipping, Buyer Protection, bumps and spotlights, and handling offers and bundles.
Facebook MarketplaceWriting a listing that gets replies, staying safe on local handoffs, the scams to expect, when Facebook actually protects you, and reviving a quiet listing.
EtsyWhat Etsy actually allows you to sell and what gets shops shut down, plus getting found in Etsy search, fees, Star Seller, returns and cases, and new-seller payment holds.
