Best eBay Alternatives for You to Consider in 2022

1

eBay

Poor policy: One of the main reasons prompting sellers to switch from eBay to other selling platforms is its controversial policy. It’s been quite common that whenever an unsolved problem happens between sellers and buyers, eBay tends to put customers first, and sellers have no choice but to accept eBay’s opinion. This sometimes leads to substantial disagreements but is still the best solution for eBay since it minimizes the time and money eBay has to deal with and they won’t lose any customers. It can be seen that eBay doesn’t pay much attention to your interest, and you might be the only one to lose money, even when you are right.

Amazon

Being known as one of the world’s most visited websites, Amazon has massively expanded its products, from selling books only to providing millions of items across a wide range of product categories. Similar to eBay, Amazon has accumulated a massive customer base as the wide product range has attracted millions of visitors to this site every day. However, remember that this also means fierce competition in this marketplace, so it might be hard to get a sale at first. This platform’s advanced personalization also displays relevant products based on customers’ search history and preferences, which can be a huge advantage for selling items here.

Walmart

As we all know, Walmart gains a reputation as the biggest retail company in the world. As this giant gradually invests more in its online presence as a marketplace where sellers can upload and sell their products, this becomes a good eBay alternative option for you. Since Walmart’s online marketplace is still quite new, their online sales and customer traffic might not be as high as eBay’s, but there is more to expect in the future.

Rakuten

Unlike Amazon, Rakuten doesn’t possess any brands, so you won’t have to worry about competing with brands of the marketplace itself. In fact, this website is trusted by many world-recognized brands such as Dell, Lenovo, Dyson, and more. However, the fee when using Rakuten is quite high compared to other online marketplace platforms. You have to pay $33 for the seller fee per month, 8% 10% for the category fee, and $0.99 for commission. Rakuten will be your best option if you are targeting the market in the east, especially Japan.

eBid

eBid is another alternative option if you are looking for an eBay-like marketplace with a lower cost and fees. You can sell every item here as you might sell on eBay, but on a smaller scale, as the traffic driven to this website is not as high. Nevertheless, the fee you have to pay is much lower compared to eBay, with a 5% commission per sale or upgrade to SELLER+ subscription with $139.98 and never have to pay commissions again.

Another eBay alternative for you to sell almost everything is Mercari, a Japan-based company that is growing in the UK, US, and Japan.

Etsy

Etsy is similar to eBay in terms of the listing fees, but the Etsy fee is much lower compared to eBay, which is only %0.2 per item, plus a fixed 3.5% commission. More than that, while the listings on eBay last up to 30 days, Etsy allows listings up to 4 months. Although the traffic driven to eBay is still much higher, Etsy’s customer base is more specific, making it a huge advantage to selling your items here.
