I never have enough time in England to sell things on Ebay but was wondering whether to do it from France. Would anyone recommend it, bearing in mind the length of time and the cost of postage? Alternatively, is there a French Ebay where I could sell my things?

But generally not much point with the french ebay,    ebay.co.uk and .com ( america) still have more money and the americans dont mind the postage costs.   www.renovatingfrance.com Life is what "you" make it, don't let "it" make you!    Report

We sold most of our stuff on ebay from Australia before coming over. It was a lot of work, and I suppose overall we got what we expected we'd get (lost on some, made on others).

I've sold 30 items totally 150 euros over the past 6 months on eBay France.  Only a few items didn't sell.  It's mainly been outgrown but good quality kids clothes and a few household ornaments.  In fact on Saturday I sold 6 items inlcuding a pair of jeans that my son never wore as they were too small for more money than I paid for them in Auchan    Report

I have enjoyed reading all your replies.  This forum is SOOOOOOOO useful.  It looks as if I am going to be spoiled for choice i.e. selling stuff on Ebay UK or Ebay France.  I shall try both and report back. Most of the stuff is things that I inherited when I cleared out Mum's house (oodles and oodles of fabrics - more than I need) and when I cleared the chai in my French house (French artisan things, such as pate pots, fishing tackle, hunting gear etc). It is going to be fun as all the proceeds will be profit.  First though, I need a better computer...
