How to choose (quick guide)

Selling general stuff? Start on eBay + Mercari. eBay gets you reach, Mercari is friction-free for smaller items.

Selling fashion? Depop for vintage/streetwear under 30, Poshmark for branded women's clothing.

Selling sneakers or hype? StockX wins on price discovery. List on eBay too for items StockX won't authenticate.

Selling cards, toys, or collectibles? Whatnot's live format converts dramatically better than static listings.

Cross-listing across platforms?
