My Top Three Marketplaces

While I have my favorites, I am always willing to branch out and at least sample new marketplaces. I have tested nearly every marketplace with the exception of etsy.

Today, I want to share some of my top performing marketplaces. These marketplaces are where I sell the bulk of my items. I don't intend for this to be a review, but I will add a little blurb as to why I believe the following have worked well for me.

1) Vinted
Vinted has changed so much since I joined back in 2013. One thing is for sure, their phenomenal layout makes them a hotspot for sales. The dynamic feed and ability to "push up" items after a select period of time, means your listings won't be hidden. Their excellent searchable catalog makes it easy for customers to find very specific items. Customers can find relevant results for the most specific things. Size 8 beige ballet flats? We've got it! Galaxy phone cases for iPhone 6? Got that too! This combination of a well cycled catalog and excellent search engine, makes it easy to see why items sell faster on Vinted than say Depop.

2) eBay
We can't forget this classic! EBay is a name everyone knows! It was one of the few marketplaces that has been in existence since the 90's. EBay helped pioneer the idea of eCommerce and make the idea appeal to people around the globe. With this sort of legacy, it's understandable as to why it's among the largest marketplaces. Their large consumer base and large breadth of categories, make them remain among the top for sales.

3) Mercari
I am hesitant to put this one on the list provided their absolutely pitiful customer and seller support. That aside, there is no denying they are one of the best smaller marketplaces for turning items fast. This is mostly due to the real time feed that changes precisely as an item is uploaded. List hot ticket items during prime sale times (usually 7:00 PM -10:00 PM) and you can sell more than you would ever imagine to sell in the same time on Vinted or eBay. Customers can also subscribe to updates for their favorite items. Mercari will frequently share which types of items have been popular as of recent.
