For most people, Facebook Marketplace is the easiest place to sell ordinary used items locally: it has a large audience, no shipping, and you can arrange cash or in-person payment. It is best for furniture, appliances, tools, clothing bundles, and household goods.1610

Choose based on what you’re selling:

• Facebook Marketplace: easiest for local sales and quick pickup.
• eBay: best for valuable, collectible, or specialized items; shipping and fees add work.36
• Poshmark: easiest for branded clothing, shoes, and accessories.
• Swappa: good for phones, tablets, laptops, and electronics.
• OfferUp: convenient for local sales, with identity-verification features intended to improve trust.1
• Amazon: reliable for new products or high-volume selling, but less convenient for occasional used-item sales.2

For the best balance of reliability and simplicity, start with Facebook Marketplace. Meet in a public place, don’t accept overpayment checks, confirm payment before handing over the item, and avoid sharing verification codes.
