Decluttering is wonderful! DW and I are selling off 22 items that we’d otherwise throw away, could net over $2,000. And eBay and PayPal do make it easy. 9 items will sell, the rest TBD this afternoon.
But their take is much more now, about 13%. Most buyers are more savvy now, the days of generous bidders have passed IME, and snipers have become the norm. Lots of dealers now instead of private parties. And though I’ve only been scammed once in 78 transactions, you read about more scam angles all the time.
So it’s still a good outlet for decluttering, along with tossing, donating, giving away or selling local (big items). But not as attractive as eBay was in its heyday IME.
