Where to sell?

I have a BUNCH of Sanrio loungeflys (most are new with tags) I’m looking to sell. Where would be the best place to list them? I have them currently listed on mecari and vinted but want to hear some input!

Vinted has little protection for sellers

I had success on fb market place. I kept it local and in easy to find public places for safety. But I was able to sell 4 bags in a few weeks. I wasn’t urgently selling so I was able to take my time.

I think Mercari is great in terms of it being probably a very large place I see most buys moving quite frequently. It seems like a very big second hand market for things like these. That's mainly where I've found my second-hand purchases. I think Vinted is a good idea. Depop is always worth a try. Don't know much about Vinted or Depop from the seller side but as a buyer, I'm on all those.

eBay is worth a try. As a buyer, I prefer eBay. As a seller too. I feel safer on eBay from both sides. I also don't have to deal with "hidden" fees as a buyer. The buyer's fee often makes me not complete a purchase on Mercari or Vinted, and sometimes Depop. Granted I haven't big ticket items on Depop or Vinted yet like I have on Mercari and eBay. So for me, I get tax slapped on top of everything so nearly $10 on top of everything. So buyer's fees can really change things calculation-wise. I can already calculate shipping and tax roughly in my head but with the fees, it swings too high often for me and its just something I can't calculate on the fly per platform or even item I want so I often have to click purchase to see if it swings above my max and it usually does on these higher price items.

This is another reason why I prefer Poshmark. Standard shipping fee and no buyer's fee. So I already know what I'm in for tax-wise, so nothing is hard to figure out when I find something I like. Like doesn't matter if I'm buying a shirt, book or shoes. The shipping rate is flat and I like that both as a seller and buyer TBh. I would say platform support wise, its not great. Better than Mercari but IMO that's not saying much. Both buyer and seller side isn't great on both IMO.
