Selling online

How I wish I could shed my laziness and make a determined effort to sell online. I have so much that I can sell as I am keen on getting rid of stuff that I have not used and also what I have used but have no use for. .
My garden has lots of items that could be grabbed by those who do not have them in their country.
Hats off to those who are engaged in this activity.

My sister sells used clothing, shoes, and accessories online. I gave her some of our stuff to sell. I could do the online part but I know I would be lazy about actually shipping it out so I let her do it and she gets to keep 50% of the $$ from the sales.

You are paying a price for your laziness but it's ok since it is your sister that gets the money (lol)

I know my products will have great demand it is the preparation that it entails I am wary of.

Hope you figure things out and give it a go sometime.
I expect, though, that it won't necessarily be as easy as some would say.
You mention things in your garden. Are these plants? Fresh stuff? Because if so, then you'd have to consider how they will be shipped, since you seem to imply providing them for abroad, and how long they will last, therefore how fast should they be shipped.

@allknowing Ah, I see. If they are dry, then I suppose it is ok to ship compared to fresh ones. :)

What about buying? Do you encounter any problems. Are you restricted?

@allknowing I buy from Amazon Italy and Amazon France. When I order books or DVDs (movies) the items never go through custom. I ordered other things and they were inspected by the Swiss Customs, I know that it's normal but this costs 10$ for each inspection.

It is not easy to sell online. I have tried it many times and did not succeed. Have you tried to do it before?

I know how you feel. It is not easy. I am not good at marketing myself and send to the same places and try different ways to write it but I still do not get many responses.

@allknowing You could do a yard sale then. That would move some things to a new home. And you dont have to go anywhere unless you want to set up away from home.

@allknowing No, it's a store that specifically sells good used products from clothes to furniture, etc. We have many here. They usually split the sale 50/50.

@allknowing I have sold online before, it went pretty good I actually sold more than I thought I would. With computers being every where, that seems to be the way people shop now. Give it a try

Actually reading your discussion this post got the inspiration (lol) I am not good at running around.
You are a great seller I see and more power to you.

When I look at our curry leaf and cinnamon trees I feel how much money I could make out of them (lol)
Setting the ball rolling is what I feel the most difficult. The ball is too too heavy (lol)

It's hard to sell online. I have tried three times with some books I had. I ended up giving them away instead.

I used to be an online seller. I sell authentic H & M clothes and some Korean apparel. But I stopped because I had to focus on my online job.
