·Watch sales on Reddit are on r/Watchexchange. It's a caveat emptor / caveat venditor place, like any other open Internet marketplace -- it's on you to vet the seller, confirm they actually have the watch, arrange the transaction, etc. etc. No more of a problem with fraud than most other marketplaces, as far as I can tell. Seller reviews are on r/WatchExchangeFeedback.
The reason I recommend eBay as a place to sell for people who don't sell often:
- Auctions provide decent price discovery if you don't know what your item is worth. Provided you write a decent ad and take OK photos, if there's enough people out there who are interested in what you want, you'll get a decent price.
- Decent protections. eBay's protections may be more buyer-focused than seller-focused, but they're a better than you'll get with an unmoderated transaction.
- The existence of buyer protections reduces the risk of buying from low-reputation sellers, increasing your market and improving your price. A lot more people will buy from a low-reputation eBay seller than will wire money to a low-reputation forum seller.
- Lots of buyers on eBay, global reach.
Thank you for the info sir. I will look into it.
Ebay has the best exposure, I think is the site where one will get the biggest amount of views. The only problem is that if you are selling they will take 10% for the sale, and in top of that a PayPal fee which is 3-4.5%.
