Earning extra money selling things we no longer use is within everyone's reach with the right tools. In the Play Store we can find a large number of apps to sell thingsHowever, they are not all equally popular in our country.
In this article we collect the 5 most used applications to sell things in Spain. I have not included Letgo due to the scarce presence it has in our country. Neither to AllcollectionAs it focuses on batches of articles, it is not at hand for all users.
Milanuncios
Milanuncios is one of the second-hand items sales platforms more veteran created in Spain that, today, has been modernized to adapt to Wallapop, the most used application in Spain to sell second-hand items.
This platform bought secondhand.es to later change the name to Vibbo and finally close them. One of its strengths is found in the messaging section, a section that allows us to know if the buyer or seller is connected to the application or via the web at that time. Through this chat, we can share more images of the products we want to sell, which will avoid having to end up on WhatsApp as it almost always happens if we use Wallapop.
Milanuncios allows us sell second-hand items for free without the platform getting any commission. However, if we are a company, we have a series of special conditions and advantages that are not available to private users and that have a cost.
The Milanuncios application is available for download for free in the Play Store and also is available via web.
Facebook MarketPlace
One of the latest platforms that have become an interesting option to consider, if you have a Facebook account is Facebook Market Place, Facebook's second-hand goods sales platform.
Facebook Market Place not found independently as an appInstead, we can find it within the Facebook application that uses our location data to show us the objects closest to our location.
If you don't use Facebook, you will be forced to create an account If you want to use this platform, a platform whose main problem is that: it is limited to Facebook users.
Through the application, we can access the public data that vendors have posted on their walls, information that really does not allow us to know if the seller is legal or the products he sells are trustworthy.
Unlike other platforms, Facebook Market Place does not have a reputation system that allows us to trust or distrust the seller or buyer, this being another of its negative points along with the need to create a Facebook account.
eBay
eBay had its golden age in the first decade of 2000, since it was practically the only platform that managed the sales of second-hand items along with shipping and payment security through PayPal.
However, with the arrival of other platforms such as Wallapop, the popularity of this platform has been declining. To this we must add that the number of companies that sell new items is increasing, in a movement aimed at try to compete against Amazon.
Although the number of second-hand products is no longer so high, it is an excellent platform to find any product that comes to mind, since the search results show us all the results available around the world, also showing the approximate cost of sending it to our country.
eBay is an excellent platform to buy second-hand items but not to sell. The high commissions charged by both eBay on the one hand, and PayPal on the other hand, mean that selling a product on this platform can even cost us money.
As we use the platform, we receive a score from sellers and buyers, thus creating us a reputation within the platform.
The ideal payment method to buy through eBay is PayPal, since it is the only way to be protected against fraud. eBay is available for free download on the Play Store and is also available via the web.
Vinted
If you want to get rid of all the clothes that You don't like it anymore, it doesn't fit or it is too big for you, the best application to sell it and get some extra money is Vinted. Vinted is the only platform focused on buying and selling second-hand clothes, although, like other platforms of this type, we can also find completely new items.
The application is available for download completely free of charge through the Play Store and also allows us to access via web. In 2019 Vinted bought the second-hand clothing sale and purchase platform Chicfy, the one from the ad sure yeah, sweetie, so you need to keep looking for it.
Wallapop
I have decided to save this application for the end since it is the application most used to sell second-hand items, although we can also find new items through the different ads (increasingly common) that are shown on this platform to sell things.
Wallapop does not charge any commission of sales between individuals and is maintained thanks to the money it charges to professionals who create their own stores in the application, eBay style, although focusing on second-hand cars.
As a good app worth its salt, Wallapop makes it easy to shipping to buyers, charging a small commission for insurance. The buyer will only receive payment when the seller has approved the item they have purchased.
This is a problem, since it is likely that we will meet someone who replaces the product with another that works, intentionally damages it so as not to proceed with payment ... and the seller has no opportunity to defend himself and the buyer will always have the reason.
En este sentido, I am more convinced by how eBay works by paying through PayPal, since through disputes, you can quickly reach an agreement with the buyer or seller in case of differences or clarify the truth.
One of the problems that continue to affect this platform practically since it hit the market are the messages, messages that sometimes do not arrive or arrive too late, so if we find an interesting article, we have a good chance of not getting it if the platform does not work.
Like eBayAs we use the platform, we receive an assessment from sellers and buyers, which allows us to build a reputation within the platform.
Wallapop is available for download for free through the Play Store. In addition, it offers web access, perfect for when we want to clean our house and we want to sell everything we see.
