Sites to sell used furniture online
Do you want to sell used furniture online, but you don’t know which sites to turn to? Try to see if the solutions listed below can work for you.
Kijiji
Kijiji , a portal belonging to the eBay group is one of the best sites to sell used furniture online, as well as several other products. It allows you to publish ads for free and sell used items following more or less the same mechanism provided by Subito, therefore not the classic eBay auctions.

On the Web page that appears, then fill out the form that you see on the screen by entering all the data concerning your ad.

Furniture and household items ) and Sub-category (eg For the home ), so as to specify the type of object you want to sell.

If you want to try to sell your item even at a distance, then by sending it by courier, check the box located next to the item If I sell at a distance. It is possible to select this option using a verified PayPal account as a payment method (for each item sold on Kijiji it is possible to send only one PayPal payment request for a value not exceeding 100 euros).
After completing the information related to your ad, please fill in the fields located in the section Upload your Personal Information indicating whether you are a private or a ‘ company, your email, your name and, if you want, you also provide a number of phone to be contacted by any buyers interested in your item.

The Kijiji team will take care of your request and, if your ad does not violate the terms of use of the service, it will be published in a short time.
Also on Kijiji it is possible to advertise your ads to make them more visible to users, upon payment of some sums of money. For more details on this, I invite you to directly consult the page that has been set up on the Kijiji website.
If you wish, you can also use Kijiji from your smartphone or tablet: all you have to do is download the free app available for both Android devices (if you have a device without Play Store, check its availability on an alternative store. ) and iOS / iPadOS.
Other sites to sell used furniture online
While you’re at it, consider these other sites for selling used furniture online as well. I hope they can come in handy.
- Immediately– given the popularity of this portal, which I have already spoken to you extensively in the guide you are reading, I recommend using it also to sell used furniture.
- Bakeka– this site is also one of those that I have already mentioned to you: since it allows you to publish advertisements of various kinds, also relating to the sale of used furniture, I recommend its use.

Sites to sell used books online
Now let’s move on to some sites to sell used books online. See which of these might be right for you and use them to get rid of the books you no longer read.
eBay
eBay , the popular online auction portal, allows you to publish up to 50 free listings every month and is great for selling used books. Compared to the sites I mentioned in the previous lines, eBay provides for the payment of a small commission (which can reach up to 11.5% of the value of the asset to which a commission of 0.35 euros per transaction must be added, to taxes on shipping costs) in case the sale is successful. Understood? As for the type of products, eBay allows you to sell practically anything, which makes it one of the best sites to sell used books, household items, electronic devices, clothes, etc.
To post an ad on eBay, go to its home page and click on the register item (top left). Then fill out the form that displays on the screen by placing in the appropriate fields your name, surname, the ‘ e-mail address and your password and click’ Subscribe to complete enrollment. Within a few minutes, you should receive a welcome email at the address you indicated.
Once logged in, click on the Sell link (top left, near the eBay logo), type the title of your ad in the field Create a descriptive title for the advertisement … on the web page that has opened and click on the button blu Start to start the procedure by which you can publish your advertisement. On the next page, click the Sell button to assign a category to the item you indicated in the title and, if it is the correct one, click the Sell a similar item button. If, on the other hand, you can’t find an item like yours, click on the Create a new listing link and select the condition of the item you are about to sell.
Now, provide your contact information ( country, address, postcode, etc.), using the appropriate form, click on the button Put your object on sale and describe your object by filling in the form that appeared on the screen. Indicate the Title of the ad (in reality, this field should already be filled in with the information you entered in the “Create a descriptive title for the advertisement …” field); add up to 12 photos for free using the appropriate buttons located in the Add photos section and describe the specifics of the object using the editor located next to the Description item.
Now, in the Set a price section, decide whether to sell the item through an online auction and/or through the Buy it now mode (which you can call up by clicking on the Edit item and moving the appropriate switch to ON ), which allows you to buy a well directly at a price chosen by the user who publishes the ad (i.e. you). If you decide to opt for the first solution, also indicate the starting price, the duration of the online auction and the reserve price to set the minimum amount to reach to sell the object at auction. If, on the other hand, you decide to use the Buy It Now formula, indicate the price in the appropriate text field.
After indicating the sales method you prefer, set the shipping method by choosing one of the options available in the drop-down menu located next to the Service item and also enter the data relating to the cost of shipping in the appropriate field. Alternatively, you can also offer shipping by ticking the Offer free shipping option and allow the buyer to collect the item themselves by checking the Offer local item pickup option.
Finally, in the Sales preferences section, select one of the accepted payment methods, possibly change the postcode of your city in the text field located near the item Location where the item is located, indicate the packaging times using the appropriate drop-down menu and choose whether or not to accept the return of the item by selecting one of the options available in the drop-down menu located next to the item Returns accepted. Now you can finally click on the Sell at the rates shown button (the rates shown are the ones you see in the box on the right) to post the ad.
I remind you that eBay is also usable from smartphones and tablets, by downloading the official app of the service available for Android (if you have a device without Google services, you can download the app from an alternative store ) and for iOS / iPadOS.
Other sites for selling used books online
In addition to the solution just mentioned, you can try these other sites to sell used books online. I’m sure they will be useful to you in some way.
- ComproVendoLibri– as its name suggests, it is a specific portal for the sale of used books, including school texts.
- Libraccio– platform curated by IBS that allows you to sell used books of any kind, also available as an app for Android and iOS / iPadOS.

Sites to sell used vehicles online
I conclude the guide by telling you about some sites to sell used vehicles online. Try them and see if among them you find someone suitable for your needs.
Autoscout24
Are you going to sell a used car? Autoscout24 is the best solution you can adopt. This well-known web portal allows you to buy and sell cars, motorcycles and vehicles on three wheels easily, quickly, and, above all, without paying fixed costs or commissions.
To publish a free ad on Autoscout24, first of all connected to its home page, click on the Login item located at the top right and, on the page that opens, click on the Register button (if you are a private individual) or Register as a reseller (if you are a car dealer). In the first case, to register you must indicate your email, password, check the box regarding the acceptance of the privacy policy and click on the yellow Register button; in the second, however, you must provide the company details in the appropriate text fields ( Company name, VAT number, etc.) and click on the orange button Register.
Once you have registered, click on Insert and select the type of vehicle you want to sell by clicking on one of the items in the menu that appeared on the screen: Used cars, if you want to sell a car or Motorcycles and scooters, if you want to sell a vehicle on two wheels. Decide whether to sell to private buyers ( Post an Ad ) or to AS24 Express Resellers ( Sell Immediately ). In the case of this article, I have decided to go for the first solution.
Once this further choice has been made, fill in the form that you see in the new Web page that has opened indicating, through the drop-down menus present in the same, the brand, the date of registration, the model, the type of fuel used by the vehicle, etc. After entering all the required information, click on the Complete the announcement button to continue.
Finally, check that the information in the Vehicle data section is correct and, if so, fill in the rest of the form indicating the color of the vehicle, its mileage and the retail price (expressed in euros). If appropriate, tick the boxes relating to the possibility of negotiating the price and deducting VAT.
In the Photos of your vehicle section, on the other hand, enter the photos you have taken of your vehicle (you can add up to a maximum of 15 by clicking on the Add photo button ). I recommend, make sure that the shots are of good quality and include photos of both the interior of the vehicle and the accessories, in order to allow potential buyers to get an idea of its real condition.
In the Description field, instead, enter as much information as possible about the vehicle you are selling. You can use up to a maximum of 4,000 characters: use them well to indicate any damage or “hidden” defects, the use of the vehicle by a smoker, any components repaired or replaced and so on. Also reiterate the information you entered previously in the various fields of the form.
Continuing with the creation of your free ad, check that the data shown in the Equipment and Guide & Environment sections are correct and, if there are any inaccuracies, make the necessary corrections by clicking on the Edit button. In the Conditions & Maintenance section, on the other hand, click on the Edit button and, if necessary, add the missing information by ticking the boxes located under the items Certified coupons, Non-smoking vehicle or Damaged vehicle. Also, don’t forget to add information about the previous owners of the vehicle, the date of the next revision, the date of the last repair and the last change of the timing belt using the appropriate drop-down menus included in the form.
To complete your announcement, add the data relating to your Contact Information and select your title ( Mr or Mrs ), your name, surname, postcode and city and your telephone number. Then, indicate whether to show the number in the ad or not by checking the appropriate box and, after accepting the terms of use of the service by checking the relevant box, click on the Publish ad online button to finally publish your ad. The AutoScout24 team will review your ad and, if deemed compliant with the site’s quality standards, will publish it within seconds.
If you still have doubts about how to publish your ad on Autoscout24, do not hesitate to read the guide where I explain in detail how to publish an ad on Autoscout24. If, on the other hand, you have already published the announcement and now you want to change it, read the specific tutorial in which I explain how to do this.
I remind you that Autoscout24 is also available as an application for mobile devices: you can download it for free on your Android device (also from alternative stores ) or iOS / iPadOS.
