如果您是Facebook本地市场组的成员，您可以同时向他们发帖。Facebook Marketplace也是一项完全免费的服务。付款(Payment)、运输和取货由您自行安排。不过，您可以使用Facebook Pay。
方便是Letgo的强项。使用他们手机上的应用程序，您可以在一分钟内拍摄该物品的照片并将(item and post)其直接发布到网站上。目前， Letgo(Letgo)的下载量超过 1 亿次，非常受欢迎。可以验证和评价用户配置文件。这有助于确保您与信誉良好的人打交道。
Letgo还可以帮助您确保获得好价格。Letgo Reveal使用人工智能和计算机视觉(intelligence and computer vision)来确定您的商品是什么，并根据类似的列表 估算价格和销售时间。(price and selling time)
列表是免费的，但有一些收费选项可以帮助您更快地销售您的物品(item quicker)。您希望如何获得报酬以及客户如何获得物品由您自行安排。
Swappa是 Craigslist 的替代品，专注于美国的智能手机、平板电脑等电子产品。您可以免费列出您的电子产品，但您的定价中可能会包含费用。从技术上讲，这意味着买方支付费用，但这与寄售大致相同。
Swappa有严格的无垃圾政策(no-junk policy)。如果该项目无法使用、形状粗糙、屏幕破裂或被盗，他们将不会列出它。这对您作为卖家有利，因为买家已经在期待一些可靠的东西。
Swappa甚至对列出的所有具有ESN的项目进行(ESN)电子序列号(Electronic Serial Number)( ESN ) 检查。ESN是该特定设备唯一(number unique)的永久嵌入序列号。
您列出您的物品，Swappa通过PayPal处理付款，然后您将您的物品运送给客户。Swappa Local也为美国大多数主要城市提供服务。这提供了安排当地客户和您安排取货并由买家直接付款的机会。
Geebo是一个经典的分类广告类型(ad type)的网站，很像Craigslist。不同之处在于，每个帖子都经过人工检查，以确保其值得一看。Geebo 没有(Geebo doesn)列出通过检查的标准，但该网站在 10 年后仍然存在。他们一定在做正确的事。
目前，Geebo仅在 160 多个社区中为美国服务。Geebo是另一个由您安排付款和物品交付(payment and item delivery)或取货的网站。
Decluttr 或 MusicMagpie(Decluttr Or MusicMagpie)
网站——Decluttr或MusicMagpie
Google Play – Decluttr或MusicMagpie
App Store – Decluttr或MusicMagpie
Decluttr是美国网站，Music Magpie(US site and Music Magpie)是英国网站(UK site)，用于销售您的手机、游戏、书籍和其他设备。不过，它们的功能更像是寄售商店(consignment shop)，而不是分类广告。使用他们的应用程序或从您的商品中输入条形码，他们会为您提供即时价格估算(price estimate)。他们会向您发送一个包裹，您可以将物品放入其中并运送给他们。
如果您发送 10 件或更多商品，则免运费。然后，Decluttr检查您的设备，确保擦除所有个人数据，然后通过直接存款、支票或PayPal向您发送付款。支出可能不如您自己出售物品的支出那么大。但是，这是一种快速摆脱它的方法。
对于销售品牌服装(brand name clothing)，PoshMark是一种可能的选择，也是Craigslist 的绝佳替代品(Craigslist alternative)，适用于美国和加拿大(US and Canada)，尤其是价值超过 500美元(USD)的商品。您列出您的商品，当它们出售时，PoshMark 会(PoshMark)向您发送一个预付费、预先注明地址的标签。如果该商品低于 500 美元，则它会直接交给买家。
如果超过 500 美元，它会转到PoshMark，他们将在那里验证该物品。如果它通过了他们的身份验证，那么他们会将其发送给买方。他们使用托管式付款方式(payment method)。向PoshMark付款，当客户收到订单时，付款会发放给您。这可以保护您和客户。
另一个出售你的衣服而不是Craigslist的好地方是Vinted。Vinted总部位于欧洲(Europe)，在西班牙(Spain)、法国(France)、卢森堡(Luxembourg)、比利时(Belgium)、荷兰(Netherlands)、德国(Germany)、奥地利(Austria)、捷克共和国(Czech Republic)、波兰(Poland)、立陶宛(Lithuania)、英国和美国(USA)均有销售。目前，他们的市场约有 2500 万用户。
作为卖方，您设定价格。没有销售费用，但您需要增加运费。Vinted 可以为您提供USPS 运输(USPS shipping)标签，以便跟踪货物。
向Vinted付款并进入名为Vinted Wallet的(Vinted Wallet)托管系统(escrow system)。一旦买家拿到物品并同意它是好的，钱就可以在钱包里使用。
如果买家没有(buyer doesn)点击按钮，货款在交货后 2 天仍会到账。您可以使用钱包中的资金在Vinted上购买其他东西。或者，您可以将其支付到您的银行账户(bank account)。它将在 3-4 个工作日后显示在您的帐户中。(ll show)
Carousell针对更多的太平洋(Pacific)国家，在香港(Hong Kong)、澳大利亚(Australia)、印度(India)、新加坡(Singapore)、台湾(Taiwan)、菲律宾(Philippines)、新西兰(New Zealand)和加拿大(Canada)开展业务。Carousell是一个市场(market place)Craigslist 替代(Craigslist alternative)家居用品、车辆、衣服，甚至住房和租金(housing and rentals)。也许你可以租你的车？
您可以免费列出您的物品。如果您想使用他们的Spotlight 或 Boosts(Spotlight or Boosts)来宣传您的商品，您可以支付额外费用。这些程序似乎有点复杂，因此请确保您理解它们。运输以及客户如何向您付款是您和买家之间的事情。
顾名思义，VarageSale就像您自己的在线车库销售(online garage sale)。在世界各地开展业务，并向您所在社区的人们出售各种商品。您在VarageSale(VarageSale)上加入您的社区，将其连接到您的Facebook 帐户(Facebook account)以便验证您的身份，然后开始销售。
每个社区都有一名管理员来帮助确保事情顺利、安全地进行。VarageSale上的每个人都必须使用他们的真实姓名和照片(name and photos)。列表也是免费的。由您和买家决定如何完成付款和交付(payment and delivery)。
对于那些有衣服要卖并且不想等待获得溢价的人来说，thredUp。它以寄售模式(consignment model)运作，服务于美国和加拿大(US and Canada)。
您向 thredUp 索取清理工具包(Clean Out Kit)，将衣服放入并寄回给他们。从那里，thredUp 对其进行检查、拍照并列出。如果这是他们的零售合作伙伴之一想要的东西，thredUp 会从您那里购买。它不会击中网站。如果它确实进入网站，您有 12 小时的时间来编辑价格。然后它会上涨 12 小时的投标期(bidding period)。
如果它在 60 或 90天内没有(day period)售出(t sell)，您可以自费将其寄回。或者忘记它，thredUp 声称它。60天期限(day period)适用于大多数商品，90 天适用于高级商品。
如果您对 thredUp 的销售流程(selling process)不感兴趣，您可以索取一个捐赠袋(Donation Bag)来发送物品。thredUp 将代表您向您选择的慈善合作伙伴捐赠 5 美元。他们会寄给你一张税单(tax receipt)。当有这么多当地慈善机构也很乐意接受您的捐款时，这似乎是一项艰巨的工作。
也许是最不明显的选择，Instagram可能是您销售某些东西的正确方式。它的设置不是为了让销售变得最简单，但它可以并且已经完成。在Instagram 上(Instagram)放一张照片非常简单。然后写一个描述，将其标记为#forsale，也许发布要价(asking price)并让人们私信你。
如果您有非常感兴趣的追随者，这可能是您的Craigslist替代选项。(Craigslist)也许你有很多当地的追随者，或者你是一个手袋爱好者(handbag person)，并且有很多手袋爱好者。这可能是一个定制的市场。

11 Best Craigslist Alternatives To Sell Your Stuff
Α lot of us have too much stuff, or stuff we don’t neеd or use anymore. So what do we do with that stuff? Sell it and make money online. Craigslist used to be the first stop to do that, but things change.
Here are 11 best Craigslist alternatives to help you sell your things, in no particular order.
- Facebook Marketplace
- Letgo
- Swappa
- Geebo
- Decluttr or Music Magpie
- PoshMark
- Vinted
- Carousell
- VarageSale
- thredUp
- Instagram
If you haven’t already bought or sold something through Facebook Marketplace, we’d be surprised. Consider how many people buy your local newspapers. Now consider how many people in your area are on Facebook. Chances are there will be far more of your neighbors on Facebook than buy the local papers.
That alone makes Facebook an excellent Craigslist alternative to sell your stuff. Check out how to get great deals on Facebook Marketplace to get more ideas
If you’re a member of local marketplace groups on Facebook, you can simultaneously post to them. Facebook Marketplace is a completely free service as well. Payment, shipping, and pickup is your responsibility to arrange. You could use Facebook Pay though.
Convenience is Letgo’s strong point. With their app on your phone, you can take a picture of the item and post it directly on the site in under a minute. Currently at over 100 million downloads, Letgo is extremely popular. User profiles can be verified and rated. This helps make sure you are dealing with a reputable person.
Letgo can also help you make sure you get a good price. Letgo Reveal uses artificial intelligence and computer vision to determine what your item is and estimate price and selling time based on similar listings.
Listings are free, but there are fee-based options to help you sell your item quicker. How you want to be paid and how the customer gets the item is up to you to arrange.
Swappa is a Craigslist alternative that focuses on electronics such as smartphones, tablets, and more in the US. You can list your electronics for free, but a fee may get built into your pricing. Technically, that means the buyer pays the fee, but it’s about the same as consignment.
Swappa has a strict no-junk policy. If the item doesn’t work, is in rough shape, has a cracked screen or is stolen, they won’t list it. This works in your favour as a seller because the buyer is already expecting something solid.
Swappa even runs Electronic Serial Number (ESN) checks on all items listed that have an ESN. An ESN is a permanently embedded serial number unique to that specific device.
You list your item, Swappa processes the payment via PayPal, and then you ship your item to the customer. There is also the Swappa Local serving most major US cities. This provides the opportunity to arrange for the local customer and you to arrange pickup and be paid directly by the buyer.
Geebo is a classic classified ad type of site, much like Craigslist. Where it differs is that every post is checked by a human to help ensure it’s worth looking at. Geebo doesn’t list what the criteria is for passing the check, but the site is still around after 10 years. They must be doing something right.
Currently, Geebo only serves the U.S. in over 160 communities. Geebo is another site where payment and item delivery or pickup is up to you to arrange.
Decluttr Or MusicMagpie
Website – Decluttr or MusicMagpie
Google Play – Decluttr or MusicMagpie
App Store – Decluttr or MusicMagpie
Decluttr is the US site and Music Magpie is the UK site for selling your cell phones, games, books and other devices. They function more like a consignment shop than a classified ad though. Use their app or enter the barcode from your item and they’ll give you an instant price estimate. They’ll send you a package that you put your items in and ship to them.
If you’re sending 10 items or more, the shipping is free. Then, Decluttr checks over your device, ensures all personal data is wiped, and then sends you payment by direct deposit, cheque, or PayPal. The payouts may not be as great as what you might get selling your stuff on your own. But, it is a quick way to get it out of your place.
For selling brand name clothing, PoshMark is a possible option and a great Craigslist alternative, available to the US and Canada, especially if it’s valued over $500 USD. You list your items and when they sell, PoshMark sends you a pre-paid, pre-addressed label. If the item is under the $500 mark it goes directly to the buyer.
If it’s over $500, it goes to PoshMark where they will authenticate the item. If it passes their authentication, then they send it to the buyer. They use an escrow-style payment method. The payment is made to PoshMark and when the customer receives the order, the payment is released to you. This protects both you and the customer.
Another great spot to sell your clothing instead of Craigslist is Vinted. Based in Europe, Vinted is available in Spain, France, Luxembourg, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Austria, the Czech Republic, Poland, Lithuania, the UK, and the USA. Right now, their market is about 25 million users.
As the seller, you set the price. There are no selling fees, but you’ll want to build in the cost of shipping. Vinted can provide you with a USPS shipping label so the shipment can be tracked.
Payment is made to Vinted and goes into their escrow system called Vinted Wallet. Once the buyer gets the item and agrees that it’s good, the money becomes available in the wallet.
If the buyer doesn’t hit the button, the money still gets released 2 days after delivery. You can use the funds in the wallet to buy other stuff on Vinted. Or, you can get it paid out to your bank account. It’ll show up in your account after 3-4 business days.
Targeting more of the Pacific countries, Carousell operates in Hong Kong, Australia, India, Singapore, Taiwan, Philippines, New Zealand, and Canada. Carousell is a market place Craigslist alternative for household items, vehicles, clothes, and even housing and rentals. Maybe you can rent out your car?
You can list your items for free. If you want to use their Spotlight or Boosts to promote your item, you can pay additional fees. Those programs seem a bit complicated so make sure you understand them. Shipping and how the customer pays you is between you and the buyer.
As the name suggests, VarageSale is like your own online garage sale. Operating around the world, and open to selling all kinds of items to people in your community. You join your community on VarageSale, connect it to your Facebook account so you can be verified, then start selling.
Each community has an administrator to help make sure things go smoothly and safely. Everyone on VarageSale has to use their real name and photos. Listings are free, too. It’s up to you and the buyer to determine how payment and delivery is done.
For those that have clothes to sell and can’t be bothered with waiting to get a premium price, there’s thredUp. It functions on a consignment model, and serves the US and Canada.
You request a Clean Out Kit from thredUp, put your clothes in and send it back to them. From there, thredUp inspects it, takes pictures and lists it. If it’s something that one of their retail partners wants, thredUp will buy it from you. It won’t hit the site. If it does go to the site, you have 12 hours to edit the price. Then it goes up for a 12-hour bidding period.
If it doesn’t sell during a 60 or a 90 day period, you can have it sent back at your own cost. Or forget about it and thredUp claims it. The 60 day period applies to most items, 90 days to premium items.
If you’re not interested in thredUp’s selling process, you can request a Donation Bag to send the items. thredUp will donate $5 on your behalf to whichever of their charity partners you choose. They’ll send you a tax receipt. Seems like a lot of work when there are so many local charities that will gladly take your donation too.
Maybe the least obvious option, Instagram might be the right way for you to sell some stuff. It’s not set up to make selling the easiest thing, but it can be, and is, done. Putting a picture on Instagram is about as easy as can be. Then write a description, hashtag it as #forsale, maybe post an asking price and have people DM you.
This could be the Craigslist alternative option for you if you have followers that would be highly interested. Maybe you have a lot of local followers, or maybe you’re a handbag person and have a lot of followers who are handbag people. It might be a custom-made market.
Get Selling, Get Paid!
Now that you know your Craigslist alternatives, what are you going to sell? Where do you think you’ll sell it? Have you had any experience selling in any of these methods? How about other options? We’d love to hear from you.
