Best Answer

We all know that buying second hand/ used stuff can save us so much money. The question comes down to where do you start looking? Where can you find the best deals? The best place to start is online.

Buying Online-

Craigslist- One of the most popular and free website to buy and sell used stuff today. Craigslist has over 50 million unique visitors/month and currently the leader in classified ads. But there are pros/cons about craigslist.

  • Pros- Great exposure, it's free, easy to use, link directly to your email.
  • Cons- A great amount of scams, you'll receive fishing emails asking you to change your password so they can send viruses to your computer stealing your information, can waste so much time traveling around to look for the ideal item, it's only local.

Tips using craigslist

  1. Make sure you see the product in person before agreeing to buy it.
  2. Never send money to anyone
  3. Make sure what you're buying completely works.
  4. Don't bother something that's too good to be true. It's most likely a scam
  5. Don't trust the pictures
  6. Don't meet people after sunset ( could be very dangerous)
  7. Bring someone along with you if possible
  8. Do your research before buying something valuable

123exchanges.com - A new way to buy and sell used stuff online with video. If you're time is limited, 123exchanges is the place where you should go to search for used stuff. They allow you to watch video listings without having to leave the comfort of your home. 123exchanges could possibly be the future of online classified advertising.

  • Pros- Video to showcase products, save you time from traveling around, let you exchange stuff instead of buying, share your postings to social media with just one click, great customer support and users interaction.
  • Cons- It's a bit new, so far only available in some areas.

Ebay- eBay is the biggest international auction marketplace to buy and sell used stuff online. If you can't find something on Ebay, most likely you won't find them anywhere else. Well known for selling your used stuff first and using that money for new purchases.

  • Pros- Worldwide exposure, easy to compare prices, you can find almost everything on Ebay.
  • Cons- Alot of fake stuff, customer support is crap, selling fees are increasingly expensive, alot of scam emails.

Tips for buying stuff on Ebay

  1. Check shipping price and policy
  2. Read reviews, feedbacks and ratings of seller
  3. Check location of sellers, be careful sellers in Nigeria
  4. Check refund policy and ask seller if you have any questions before buying
  5. Don't get into an auction war- sometime you might be paying for over what it's worth
  6. Do your research

Amazon- A great marketplace to buy books. Very safe and secure. Amazon has great customer support and well known for its prices. You can compare Amazon to Wal Mart but for online only.

Here are some other websites where you can list your products for free.

  1. oodle.com- Social classified ads. Great and fast if you have a facebook account
  2. backpage.com- Great for personals- seeking a mate
  3. olx.com- Where buyers meet sellers
  4. Kijiji.com- own by ebay, if you like ebay you'll like Kijiji
  5. classifiedsforfree.com- The domain says it all
  6. classifiedads.com - not much exposure
  7. recycler.com- recycle your stuff
  8. Walmart.oodle.com- walmart version of free classified

When you want to purchase something online, first, you must look at what you want to buy, look at the price and if you are sure that what you are looking at is what you really want, then there should be a click to add to cart button, or a shopping cart next to the item, or when you click the item, there will be something that says add it to cart, so add it. Then once you finished shopping, you view your cart items and click check out, then type in your card number, your address and all the other things that they want you to fill out and do so, then they should ship it to.

I hope that this helped you!

There are several ways of selling stuff online, the most popular being an auction website like eBay, where you can easily create an account and start selling your products from your own home. It's also possible to setup an online storefront at special niche website specializing in helping you sell specific items. Or you can create your own website with or without a premade shopping website solution like Shopify.

Mostly through ebay. You put the product up with pictures and wait for people to bid or buy. Then you get their address and mail it to them. Ebay will walk you through the steps
