11 Ways to Turn Your Old Junk into Cash

4) Auction Items on Ebay

Ebay is a worldwide platform where you can sell your items for a flat price or auction them off to the highest bidder. Transactions are not cash, however the money can be deposited straight into a PayPal account. Ebay does have listing fees, depending on the style of the auction for each item, and the process can sometimes take a little longer than anticipated. Ebay is great for niche products and more valuable rare items that may not appeal to a local demographic. Items do typically need to be shipped, so costs should account for those fees, but with Ebay you have the ability to sell internationally. This guarantees better odds that you goods will sell, however it can accrue additional unexpected costs, and if you have not established a buyer reputation, your funds can be held for up to 21 days before being released.
