Sell Your Used Junk for More Money by Letting Amazon Store and Ship It
We've shown you all kinds of ways tosell your unwanted crap for real money, and many of them involve selling through Amazon, since it's a natural place people go to shop. Take it a step further and let Amazon store and ship that stuff. You'll sell faster and for more money, and you get rid it immediately.
Ben Guild explains that one of the things holding most people back from selling their stuff is keeping it around while they wait for it to sell. Amazon fixes that by allowing you to ship your unwanted stuff to them, where they'll store it until it sells. When it does, they'll ship it too, and the seller can even use Amazon Prime if they're a subscriber—all to get your unwanted stuff. At that point you won't even have to lift a finger—just keep an eye on things to make sure there are no return or customer service issues, or the buyer doesn't try to scam you.
Amazon's seller fees can take a bite out of your profits for sure, but Ben explains that his experience selling everything from computers to old cables he packed up and labeled individually from the bottom drawer of his computer desk was a good one, and allowed him to essentially declutter his house, box up all the things he didn't want anymore, ship them to Amazon (who gives you a break when shipping to their own warehouses), and then let them handle the sale, shipping, and transactions. He gets a clean house and some extra income, someone else gets a bargain on some slightly used gear, and it's all saved from the landfill. It's a win-win.
