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.

    • In just two days, we’ll take to the streets to show Donald Trump that he and his politics are not welcome here. On Saturday the global far-right mobilised their biggest protest for decades. We want to show that supporters of Trump and fascism are not the majority – far from it. Here are all the details you need for the day. The march assembles at Portland Place, near the BBC, at 2pm (see assembly blocs below). After speeches here, the march will move off at 3pm. It will then march down Regent St, through Piccadilly Circus, on Whitehall (past Downing St) to our rally at Parliament Square. The rally at Parliament Square will begin around 5pm and finish at 7pm. If you can’t make it to the march, feel free to join the rally after work! (Nearest tube: Westminster). The short, accessible version of the route assembles at the top of Whitehall (SW1A 2DY) at 4.30pm to march to Parliament Square for 5pm. You may also prefer to just join the rally directly at Parliament Square.  Join a bloc – and make friends! Our movement is diverse, and various elements are forming ‘blocs’ on the march to emphasise their visual presence collectively. You can join these blocs or form up behind them:   A) Palestine, near BBC, W1A 1AA B) Climate, W1B 1NS C) Amnesty, around junction with New Cavendish St, W1B 1LU D) Migrants' rights, W1B 1LS E) Jewish bloc, W1B 1QQ F) Ukraine, around junction with Weymouth St, W1B 1JL G) Europe, W1B 1NR More stewards still needed Stewards are a crucial part of keeping the protest safe for everyone to participate. They are a visible point of contact for attendees who may need directions or other assistance. Experience of stewarding is useful but it's also fine if you haven't done it before. You will be issued with a hi-vis jacket and briefed in advance and on the day.  Sign up to be a steward Staying comfortable on the day The demonstration lasts for several hours, so we suggest you should:     Bring a bottle of water and snacks (and eat beforehand)     Charge your phone fully the night before, and bring a portable charger if you can     Go to the loo beforehand (really!)     Buddy up with someone, or stick together as a group – it can be hard to find people easily if people wander off     Coming alone? Protests can be a great place to meet like-minded people. If you feel unsure, you can always talk to a steward     Consider the weather: bring a waterproof jacket or wear suncream where necessary     Wear comfortable clothes and footwear, and use our accessible route if you need to (see above) Bring your friends and family on Wednesday. Let’s make this massive! In solidarity, Stop Trump Coalition
