Don’t want to manage your own site for selling? No problem. You can sell on platforms like Etsy, eBay, Amazon, Gumroad, or Redbubble. Options are unlimited. Do you sell online, what are your favorite platforms to sell. Do you like to sell from social sites or from ecommerce markets?
 
I don't partake with selling anything online, but if I did, I'd opt for selling things on the Facebook marketplace as I'd be able to connect with those close to my area.

However, if I wanted to sell products, I'd use Amazon. Patreon is also great.
 
I have sold quite a lot of things on the Facebook marketplace. I would like to point out that the choice of the platform to choose depends on the type of product or services that are being sold but I have used Facebook many times to sell different things especially used products.
 
The online marketplaces to sell products are Etsy, eBay, Amazon, Facebook Marketplace etc. There are other ones but these are the most popular. The platform that is used is usually determined by the nature of the product or service you want to sell.
 
It's Instagram I would choose to be my best social media sites for selling anything online. Even without using the marketplace, I've been alps to sell from posting on my wall.
 
I've sold 375 items on eBay to date. I love both selling and shopping there. I've never tried many other platforms for selling items, however.
 
I've never sell anything online but if it comes to my mind to do so or the opportunity comes, I will love to sell on Amazon and Facebook. I think that's the marketplace I'm versatile with and it has been good for sellers too.
 
I mostly use ebay, but started to use facebook market place more.
Ebay’s solid, but I’ve noticed more people using Facebook Marketplace lately too. It feels easier and quicker to sell stuff there. I sold fairly used children's tab there and I made some sales.
 
I always prefer to sell from social media or forum marketplaces I have a store on Facebook. And I also have a store on the largest forum in my country. And those two online platforms give me good sales.
 
I've bought few things on ebay which was good more than how I expected. If you need rare items, go to ebay.
Yeah, eBay’s great for rare stuff. I once found an old game console there that I couldn’t find anywhere else. Honestly, for collectibles, eBay feels unbeatable.
 
I've worked for a company that used mainly Instagram to sell everything they have for their customers. I learnt how to use it too for my own personal sales.

What game console did you end up purchasing?

That’s cool! Instagram can be great for sales if you know how to use it right. I’ve sold a few old gadgets there too, and it’s way faster sometimes than listing on eBay. But yeah, I still go back to eBay when I need to find rare stuff.

Yeah, it's a very good social media platform to sell things especially if your target audience are on the site. The only problem now most people using Instagram faces is their irregular algorithm.

Facebook Marketplace feels more alive lately, especially for quick local sales. And yeah, Instagram’s algorithm can really mess with visibility. It’s either hit or miss most of the time.

The algorithm has changed a lot, but if you cross-posted your instagram content to other social media pages, you'll do a lot better.

Algorithm's change all the time, but if you stay consistent, you'll outperform the algorithm.
