Selling used tools online sounds easy — but there are traps that can cost you time and money. Here are the 3 biggest mistakes to avoid:
❌ 1. Posting on Sites with No Buyer Protection
Craigslist, OfferUp, and Facebook don’t protect sellers. You risk scams, lowballers, and ghosted meetups.
❌ 2. Ignoring Fees on eBay
eBay charges seller fees (12–15%), plus shipping and return handling. It adds up fast.
❌ 3. Not Researching Your Tool’s Value
Underpricing is common if you don’t know what your tool’s worth. Use platforms that give instant market-based offers.
✅ The Better Way:
Sites like WeBuyTool.com give instant, fair offers and free shipping — no guesswork, no risk.
