Selling a bunch if stuff I cant use frying my brain

I am trying to sell a bunch of things I cant use anymore online and its frying my brain. I need the extra money but it is very tedius creating the posts and everything. I have items on ebay and they draw scammers like bees to honey. These people ask me to leave ebay to finish the sale and that violates ebay rules. The one time I did they immediately asked me to buy a ridiculous amount of gift cards and theyd pay me for sending them to em and buy my item. I said no reported them to ebay and blocked them. They made new accounts and tried again. They were blocked and reported again. Now my account is set to block anybody with accounts younger than a month from buying from me. It just wears me out. And it takes ages to sell my stuff. I just need the money not the drama.

@sickofbeingick22 My sister does very well selling on eBay but she’s alert for scammers.

This is why I do not even try to sell stuff on eBay. I am trying to find a local store where to bring everything I want to sell.

@sickofbeingick22 I understand very well, I do not drive but my husband drives my stuff to the store.

I can't really sell at a store because I don't have my license and can't drive my items to one. I would not be able to carry a lot of things on the bus or anything, and trying to take them in an uber would most likely use up whatever money I made in the sale for the price of the ride. I am however going to try other sites besides eBay that would work better.

That's why I rarely sell things online. So, I know what you mean. Not that I have a lot to sell, but still. Scammers prowl sites looking for easy targets.

I sell online because I don't yet have my driver's license so taking my things to shops to sell in person is hard for me. If I could drive and just run my stuff to shops to sell it I would do that instead.
