Advantages: Simple process for selling used goods

Disadvantages: Ability to add items requires a paying account

I have often used amazon.co.uk for buying, but was pleasantly surprised to discover how easy it is to use the Sellers section for a wide range of items.

I signed up for a Sellers Account after having a spring clean and discovering I had a number of books, cd's, dvd's etc. in good condition, but which I no longer used. The creation of the sellers account was very simple, and once I was logged into the sellers part of the website, I was able to search by ISBN or barcode number to discover if my item was listed and at what price. Once I'd added my item and set my price, I was able to view my inventory and see how my prices compared with other sellers. Note that it is not possible to add an item, as this facility is unavailable to the basic seller account type.

For me, the process is better than ebay, since I find the idea of auctions a bit off-putting. I managed to sell quite a lot of stuff, and received payment from Amazon very promptly into my bank account. So I've succeeded in tidying up my place, and earning a bit of extra cash into the bargain!

Summary: Great alternative to ebay for selling
