Sell on Ebay or tPF?

[L etoile]

I'm not allowed to sell on tPF (<500 posts), but why do people still sell on eBay when they can sell on tPF? I want to sell one of my bags, but I've never used eBay.

For me, it's wherever the bag sells first! I don't discriminate ...

I would say ebay gets more traffic then tpf when selling a purse. Also I think 500 posts on here to be able to sell or trade is a bit high. I'm also an active member of flyertalk and you can trade airlines miles etc once you reach 90 posts and have been a member for 90 days.

Best bet on ebay is to do a BIN with best offer price and hope you get an offer in the range you want. Ebay is actually great assuming you get a paying bidder and you state your terms clearly.

Many (and I mean many!) of us are on a waiting list to be accepted to tPF market place. In the meantime, I need to offset my impulse buying with whatever means are available to me. That's why I, personally, use Ebay. ush:

MUCH MORE traffic on Ebay ! A lot of professionals do not have the time to do 500 posts here

ITA Ebay do have more traffic, also allows auction where as MP is listing style.

I kind of also think that on the MP people aren't really selling bags for huge profits .. it's more of selling bags to fellow purse lovers at a fair price. With ebay, anything goes!

Just a heads up dudes....Discussing the MP outside of the MP IS NOT ALLOWED.It is a BANNABLE offense to some......u can lose your MP privies .......

Interesting to know. I didn't realise the wait was so long.

Regarding the application to sell on MP - did you guys get a confirmation email stating that you were on a wait list? If so my app seems to have gone ignored...:wondering

^ Was there something not clear on Jill's post about the MP?

Just read this post and leave it at that (or PM a mod if you're still curious). You don't want to lose privileges before you had any in the first place.

I think this thread can probably be closed, too..
