Selling stuff on Facebook

[Ouroboros]

Hello, I've seen a few people talking about selling things on Facebook, and I was wondering how to go about it. Is it best to set up a separate selling account so that your stuff just gets posted onto the local selling pages rather than all over your friends' news feeds, or is there a way round this using your own account? I've got a fair bit to try and get rid of so I don't really want to be cluttering news feeds up with pictures of baby clothes etc!

Thanks!

same as Preciousbane - there should be local selling groups to you... you sometimes have to request to join..

It is quite good to do Facebook for popular things though.. saves ebay fees etc.

I put on my status 2 days ago that I had newborn through to 6-9 clothes to sell if anyone knew anyone who might be interested. 2 days later 60 in my pockets for 12 outfits. 1 bundle so fare sold via local selling page.

I've just joined a few selling groups in my area. Kids stuff (high chair, stair gates, playpen etc) all sold like hot cakes. Love it. No fees and I can drop stuff off locally or have it collected. In 2 weeks made about £100 from stuff I no longer needed.

I think that if it's a closed group (ie one you have to request to join), then anything you list on it will only show on the group's homepage & not on your normal newsfeed, so no need for two separate accounts.

I found my local selling group just by putting the first half of my postcode into the FB search box.
