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.

    • London doesn’t have a lot of Argentinian places specialising in empanadas, which suggests demand isn’t that great. There are many neighbourhoods with none at all or even nearby.  So for a mini-chain like Chango (several branches in SW London) to open here where there’s already a well established family run place doing the same feels a bit off.  I’ll be giving Chacarero my ongoing custom. 
    • This is so helpful, everyone, thank you. @green bean Yes we have just (as of yesterday) installed the same external blinds you mention! We already had blackout blinds and we now have the external awnings too. Of course that will guarantee the end of the summer sunshine but I can see that they're going to be helpful as they let the light through but not the glare of the sun - I'm fed up of working in darkness with both the blackout blinds closed on sunny days. We'll see how we go with those for a bit but I reckon we'll get a couple of quotes from the other recommendations in case we end up going the whole hog. @penfold Love the idea of getting solar+batteries to offset the electricity usage so will look into that.  Thanks, all.
    • Yes Sally, I've emailed him several times since Xmas. I don't contact Councillors frequently but when I've done so over the years, I've found them generally engaged and responsive. It's unprecedented to just be ignored and, regardless of the query I'm raising, that's worrying from the point of view of  our local democratic voice. Its a Councillors role to represent local people! A different thread on here made reference to a lack of response from one of our ward councillors and, since there are only two, I'm guessing it's the same one. I'm following up my own concern separately but I'm asking on here about whether others have had the same problem. I'd like to think it's a one-off but, increasingly, I suspect it's not. Hope that gives a bit more context!
