    Default Which one do you think is better?

    I am going to try and sell some items on the internet but I don't know which auction site is better so sell on. I would like to get some input on this. Is ebay the best one or is there any other auction sites that I should use.

    It depends on what you are selling. If they are difficult/heavy to ship, I'd use a local site like Craigslist. It is free to post and you don't get a percentage of your asking price taken out at the end.

    If the items are easy to ship, and you just don't have any idea what to ask for them, I'd use eBay and start with as low a price as you can accept.

    Great advice. Right on point. :cthumbup:
