Hi,


I have lots of baby clothing and equipment to sell-all used and in great condition. I was thinking of selling on the forum, but then thought that having an on-line store would be the best way to go.


I've looked at selling on-bay(you pay a monthly cost which seems like another debt!), then looked at Amazon sell a little where you pay a small cost per item(pence) rather than a monthly installment.


Would just like to know if anyone has experience(good or bad) of any of the above on-line stores and just some general advice really.


Thank you!xxx

Buttercup, I sell on my daughters used stuff to afford to buy the next stage of toys or clothes and wouldn't use anything but eBay or the forum. eBay is a huge platform for selling and buying with an enormous reach. I would go elsewhere. Yes I pay fees but it's worth it for the additional monies earned, plus I like my paypal account to be rolling constantly. Each month they just send me and email detailing fees and automatically take them from my paypal account, I don't see it as a debt at all. I don't think amazon is worth selling on although I haven't ever researched fully. I hope this helps somewhat.

Thanks GinaG3. Yes I like the idea of a constanly rolling paypal account. Nice to hear from someone who actually uses a different selling platform other than the forum,just to know how it is.


Thanks for your helpful reply

We used Gumtree recently, the free option. Though for an office move rather than children's clothes / toys. No costs and struggled to keep up with the interest it generated! Then of course there's preloved, again a free option.

    • I'm not sure it's sensible  to presume any agreement from interlocutors, but if you do, then do I agree that it's the right thing to say so. My own guess -- it's nothing more -- is that the officers were acting just to effect an arrest on arrival, as requested, quite possibly without any knowledge of the content of wretched tweet at all*, and that their being armed was absolutely incidental.  But I don't know any reliable facts. I do think the turning up (5?) en masse to do so was possibly complacent and unthinking, if there was no reason to believe the arrestee was a threat.  If they had  been doing so for good reason, I guess they could have had at least one weapon trained at him, and had  him hands above head or on the ground in no time.  But I know no reliable facts of the incident whatsoever.  Perhaps they were Father Ted fans -- seriously -- and trogged along, on a quiet afternoon, to see the man himself.  Perhaps they and/or their CO will get a severe bollocking from above.  I don't know. * But even that with some reservations.  The last time I looked up cases on wrongful arrest, years ago, I think I remember there being held then to be at least some onus on the acting arresting officer to be satisfied that  the required grounds for a lawful arrest  did exist.  And I don't know any of the facts of the present case. 
    • They carry guns at the airport.  It may not make it ok but that is a fact.  In France and America they all carry guns.
    • TfL and the Met had a small team a few years ago dedicated to addressing bike theft.  https://tfl.gov.uk/info-for/media/press-releases/2011/february/officers-target-bike-thieves-and-successfully-reunite-stolen-bikes-with-their-owners I assume that went with austerity. There is now a Task Force https://www.london.gov.uk/who-we-are/what-london-assembly-does/questions-mayor/find-an-answer/metropolitan-police-service-cycle-taskforce And some advice from the MPS: https://www.met.police.uk/cp/crime-prevention/keeping-vehicles-safe/how-safe-is-your-bike/ The marking service is good and helps.  As a cyclist you do your best to minimise the likelihood and I would never leave a high end bike locked on the street out of sight.  I've had three bikes stolen in London over the last two decades. Gum Tree sadly makes it too easy and for every bike theft there is someone knowingly or unknowingly prepared to buy a bargain that is stolen.
