eBay or Rebuy - comparison of sales platforms

With this practical tip we provide you with a comparison between the two sales platforms eBay and Rebuy. Read which platform is more suitable for which purposes.

eBay: Auction and Buy It Now as an option

You can buy and sell various products via the eBay online auction house. We'll show you what's so special about the top dog:

• Buy & Sell: You can offer or buy almost anything on eBay. It starts with items of clothing, goes beyond electrical requirements and ends with vehicles. There are almost no limits to your imagination. As long as you comply with the guidelines of the online auction house, you can set almost anything and hope for a corresponding buyer.
• This is how it works: After you have registered on eBay, you can sell the desired items. You can calculate in advance what costs you will have to pay. Depending on the category and effort (e.g. several images or a highlight), an advertisement on eBay will cost you more or less money. On the other hand, as a buyer you only pay the amount you see in the offer. Please read everything carefully and think about possible shipping costs. Incidentally, the seller sets the amount himself or it results from the previous bids.
• Target group: eBay is ideal for all bargain hunters, because on the platform you will find both auctions and instant purchases. So you will surely discover a few bargains here. Sellers, on the other hand, benefit from a large community and can usually sell most things well.
• Conclusion: eBay is an almost all-encompassing sales platform with auction and immediate purchase options. The only catch: Sellers have to transfer part of the proceeds to eBay. However, there are always campaigns where you can sell your products free of charge. Tip: Save a lot of money on your next Ebay purchase with our vouchers.

Rebuy: Fast buying and selling

You can also buy and sell products quickly at Rebuy. We show you where the platform can really score:

• Buy & Sell: Unlike on eBay, you cannot turn all products into cash at Rebuy. Here you can mainly offer or buy products from the areas of video games, books, cell phones and films as well as music, tablets & e-book readers, computer software or consoles including accessories and notebooks.
• Here's how it works: First you can search for the desired product and have a look at what Rebuy offers you. If you have products that bring in more than ten euros, you can return them to Rebuy free of charge and receive a credit afterwards. You can then have this credit paid out to your account. However, buyers can browse directly and choose a suitable product from Rebuy.
• Target group: Rebuy is aimed primarily at those who want to sell their items quickly. The price can be found quickly and the shipment is also prompt. You also have no risk that your products will go through the virtual counter at low bids.
• Conclusion: Rebuy is a sales platform with special products. Above all, the fast processing stands out. You don't have to buy anything here or wait for someone to buy the goods for you.

Conclusion: which sales platform is more suitable?

Unfortunately there is no clear answer to this question. After all, it always depends on what your motives for buying and selling are. But you can orient yourself on a few points:

• eBay: This platform is particularly suitable for sellers who offer auctions or want to set the price themselves. If you are also looking for bargains, you are also in good hands here.
• Rebuy: This platform is better suited for all sellers who love fast processing and do not have an exact price. The site is also interesting for buyers when it comes to buying used items quickly and without negotiations.
