Sick of eBay? Try the best alternative places to sell in 2019 ...

eBay

No one can deny the power of eBay: Since 1995, eBay has held its place as one of the largest marketplaces in the world. It has turned thousands of hobbyists into PowerSellers and allowed thousands more to run profitable, at-home businesses. However, the eBay marketplace has evolved significantly in recent years, and various policy changes have prompted an exodus from eBay, as sellers look for other, more lucrative online marketplaces.

Amazon

You missed some cons about selling on Amazon such as how they keep your money for a minimum of 2 weeks, sometimes, months on end until the buyer has reported that they got their item. Amazon also doesn't seem to have any person that one can talk to, just voice mails that never seem to get checked. Ebay on the other hand, once you have made a few sales and they have verified you aren't a scammer, gives you your money right away. It's one of the very few pluses to selling on Ebay. I'm here looking for alternatives to both of them. I'm tired of Feebay and I can't stand how Amazon holds onto the money until they feel like releasing it.

Etsy

eBay listings are up to 10 days, or 30 days for fixed price, while Etsy's listings last 4 months. This means your listings will last 4 times as long on Etsy before you'll have to renew them. Etsy is cheaper charging only $0.20USD listing fee per item, and a fixed 3.5% commission. This fixed pricing model is much simpler than Amazon and eBay!

Bonanza Background Burner

Although Bonanza's monthly traffic is lower than eBay's, the ratio of shoppers to sellers on Bonanza is much higher: 1,300 to 1 on Bonanza vs. less than 10 to 1 on eBay. That means far less competition between sellers, and far more chances for buyers to see your products.

craigslist

If you're good at spotting items that are worth a lot more than they're being sold for, or you have the skills to do up items that are a little lacklustre, you could make a neat profit here. For example, you might have an eye for valuable antiques, or you might know how to restore old wooden furniture. Or maybe you know how to sew something back to life. Pick up some workable free items or low cost items from craigslist (or browse local garage sales), work your magic, and sell the items for a higher price on Craigslist or other selling platforms. This can be a hit-and-miss strategy, so be sure to only select items that you're confident you could sell for a profit. And if items need work, make sure you have the time to do it, otherwise you may end up with a garage full of items you can't flip.

Rakuten

Rakuten (formerly buy.com) is considered the “Amazon of Japan”. Now, Japan’s not the first company that comes to mind when you think of eCommerce, but get this: Japan’s population is more than 126 million and more than 90% of Japan’s internet users are registered on Rakuten. That’s a big market.

Newegg

Newegg is clearly best for anyone who’s selling tech products, particularly those operating mostly in the US and Canada markets. Newegg’s audience is mainly men aged from 18 to 30 and 35, so if that’s your target market, Newegg might be a good option for you.

eCrater

The main appeal of eCrater is that it’s free to set up a store and it even has templates you can use to easily create an attractive store. It’s said to be easy to import your listings from eBay, which is good if you’re looking to transition entirely. There’s not a lot of information on eCrater online, but there’s said to be at least 65,000 active stores on the site. The number of customers and the amount of traffic pales in comparison to the larger eCommerce platforms, so it’s probably best used as a complementary marketplace, rather than one that you solely rely on to run your business.

Ruby Lane

Ruby Lane is a legitimate alternative to selling on eBay. It’s been designed to bring buyers and sellers of antiques, art, vintage collectibles and jewelry together - similar to marketplaces like Etsy and Bonanza. Ruby Lane has 1.1 million unique visitors per month, which is impressive for a niche marketplace. A majority of users are located in the US, Canada, UK, Australia and Germany, but it has global reach. 85% of users are women aged over 40 and almost all describe themselves as a “collecting enthusiast”, so if that’s your target market Ruby Lane might be a great option. It seems to attract more purposeful, educated buyers who might be willing to spend more money than those who are scouring eBay for bargains.

Walmart

It’s not widely known that Walmart, one of the largest retail corporations on the planet, has entered into the eCommerce marketplace world. Walmart Marketplace is a platform where select sellers can list and sell products. It’s very similar to Amazon in that you could be competing with Walmart itself, but it’s definitely worth considering as an alternative to selling on eBay. You get to take advantage of Walmart’s massive reach and customer base and it’s free and easy to get set up. Walmart seems to be taking the eCommerce space more seriously so it’s likely to be investing heavily in this area over the coming years. Who knows, maybe in five years everyone will be saying they wish they were on Walmart from the start?

PayPal

Here recently I have had excellent success selling on Facebook Marketplace and collector groups that allow buying and selling. Some groups are only for sharing or information, but it is easy to find the ones who permit selling. For example I found a vintage Christmas group with over 100k members that I sold many items to. I also found groups to sell vintage toys, mid-century decor, glass, and jewelry. And I have had a lot of success with marketplace. I live in Kansas and have sold to collectors all the way in Houston. No listing or selling fees but u do have to do all the invoices and figure your shipping out yourself. I received payments on PayPal with no problems.
