Using ebay for selling Local pickup only kitchen appliances?

12 years ago

Asking for some advice-

My kitchen remodel has contracted to the existing space instead of adding a bumpout, so that I no longer have room for the display Gagg steam oven and Wolf microwave that I had purchased. I spent about a hour trying to list them on ebay today for Local Pickup only with Cash sale, but ebay does not allow the auction to be posted without allowing payment with Paypal. Apparently allowing the buyer to use Paypal for local pickup is a bad idea since proof of purchase cannot be made without online delivery confirmation. Has anyone successfully circumvented the Paypal option and been able to sell through Local Pickup only with cash payment?

Hmm. I have listed them on the Baltimore craigslist but no responses in a week.

Any other ideas?

In any case you will find that the ebay percentage is quite high these days, and the burdens it puts on you as seller are pretty large compared to how it used to work. IMHO, it's really not very suitable for these kinds of sales anymore.

Craigslist is about as good as it gets. But, be sure you're pricing it appropriately. It's like pricing a brand new used car. Once it rolls off the lot, the value drops dramatically. 50% of what you paid is a good place to begin the price.

OK I will stick with craigslist. I have them listed at about 1/3-1/4 MRSP for now. Ebay really is a lot of trouble! WIsh I hadn't spend all that time on it but perhaps not being able to list was for the best.
