I am happy to say that I have had an online store for a few years. I hadn't done much with it since 846 Publishing took off the way it did. But I got back to it in 2026. It's selling almost daily, and it's amazing income! One thing I've learned is that the best place to sell online depends heavily on WHAT you're selling. Every platform has its own audience, and choosing the right one can make a huge difference. Here's a little breakdown for anyone thinking about getting into online selling: - Amazon: New products, books, household essentials, electronics, beauty products, toys, and everyday consumer goods. - eBay: Just about everything! Vintage items, collectibles, electronics, replacement parts, books, antiques, tools, and unusual finds. Clothes don't do well unless they are name brand or specialty items. - Etsy: Handmade goods, original designs, vintage items (20 years or older), craft supplies, personalized gifts, and digital downloads. - Vinted: Secondhand clothing, shoes, accessories, and affordable fashion. I mostly sell games, books, and puzzles. MY FAVORITE SELLING SITE! No seller fees and the buyer always pays for shipping. - Mercari: Clothing, toys, collectibles, video games, electronics, household items, and miscellaneous secondhand merchandise. - Depop: Trendy clothing, vintage fashion, Y2K styles, streetwear, and unique pieces that appeal to younger shoppers. - Poshmark: Brand-name clothing, designer handbags, shoes, jewelry, and fashion accessories. High-end only! - Facebook Marketplace: Furniture, appliances, home decor, exercise equipment, tools, and larger items that are easier to sell locally. MY SECOND FAVORITE. There's no shipping required if you sell locally. Instant payment. No restriction on what you can sell. - OfferUp: Furniture, electronics, tools, bicycles, household goods, and other local pickup items. Didn't love this site. - Craigslist: Used furniture, appliances, equipment, tools, and larger secondhand items. I generally avoid it.
