Naively, I never realised it was so expensive to sell stuff on ebay (10% of final sale price, unless I'm reading it incorrectly). Do they ever have 'special offer' times when the sale fees are reduced? Or, what are the best other options for selling unwanted stuff? I have a bugaboo and other baby stuff to clear out. I have tried the Family Classifieds on the forum, but few takers. Is gumtree the only option other than ebay? any suggestions appreciated.

Yes, I think I worked it out at 9% plus listing fees. They do 'no 'fees' weekends but just save listing fees I think.

I'm selling something now so can update you if that's way off!


Gum tree can be good and it costs nothing to list.


Might be worth bumping your family stuff on here as I don't think people look back all that far. I sold my bee via the forum and it's def the easiest and nicest way but you get a bigger audience on eBay!

Thank you both. I have updated (ie bumped) my Classifieds post, posted on Gumtree and also discovered Preloved. We'll see. Not sure how long husband will put up with the stuff cluttering our bedroom - may be pushed to Ebay sooner than I'd like. Strange how selling through the Forum seems nicer and friendlier!

Green-Buttons is a locally run website for baby/children's used clothing. They have very specific guidelines about what they do and don't accept. For the items they do accept, I thought the money offered was very good. I haven't used them in a while, but I thought they were excellent when I did use them.

    • I’m not a Gail’s fan but there’s no reason a business shouldn’t open on Christmas Day. However, nobody should be compelled to work the day which, given the widespread coverage of Gail’s questionable employment practices, has to be a possibility here.  The only business I ever use on the 25th is maybe a pub and that’s a rarity these days but buses running would be very welcome for visiting etc. But the swings in the park should definitely remain chained up. Are parks even open on Christmas Day?
    • To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...
    • Well according to a newspaper article, Gail’s is opening 10 shops in London,,, yup Dulwich is named 10/5 I seem to recall with others in London opening at 7 am…!, Guess that is to capture workers coming off all night shift. Offering free mince pies until they run out.. So very sad to hear about Romeo Jones… been a customer since the opening, any idea where Patrick has gone or details… please pm me.    What is going to be in its place…. Will be around in Jan…umm village is changing….
    • interesting the police said "the car was in demand at the moment" what make/model is that?
