Why stop at one platform?
Items usually sell faster in front of more buyers, which is why many resellers list on 2 to 4 platforms. The hard part is keeping them in sync: when an item sells in one place, it has to come down everywhere else. Voolist cross-lists to eBay, Poshmark, Depop, Etsy and your own Shopify, WooCommerce or BigCommerce store from one form, and takes sold items down everywhere in seconds. See how cross-listing works →
Frequently asked questions
Which selling platform is best for me?
It depends on what you sell and how you like to sell it. Clothing does well on Poshmark and Depop, electronics and collectibles on eBay, vintage and handmade on Etsy, and big local items on Facebook Marketplace. The quiz weighs all of this for you in about a minute.
What is the best platform to sell clothes?
Poshmark and Depop are top choices for clothing. Poshmark works well for brands like Nike, Lululemon and designer items. Depop is ideal for trendy and vintage fashion aimed at younger buyers.
Where should I sell electronics?
eBay is the leading platform for electronics, with the largest buyer base. Mercari is a good alternative with lower fees, and Facebook Marketplace works well for selling bigger items locally.
Which platform has the lowest fees?
For US sellers, Depop charges no selling fee (only 3.3% + $0.45 payment processing), and Facebook Marketplace is free for local pickup. Mercari takes a flat 10%, eBay about 13.6% plus $0.40 per order, and Poshmark 20% on sales of $15 or more. The lowest fee is not always the best pick, though: a platform with more of your buyers can sell faster and for more.
Is it better to sell on one platform or several?
Selling on several platforms puts your items in front of more buyers, so they usually sell faster. Many resellers list on 2 to 4 platforms. A cross-listing tool like Voolist posts your listings to all of them from one form and takes sold items down everywhere else, so you never sell the same item twice.
Which platform is best for beginners?
Mercari and Facebook Marketplace are beginner-friendly, with simple listing steps. Poshmark is great for fashion sellers who enjoy its social side. Start where you feel comfortable, then expand.
What sells best on Etsy?
Etsy is ideal for vintage items (20 or more years old), handmade goods and craft supplies. Buyers there expect unique, artisan products, so it does not suit mass-produced new items.
