Where do I get things to sell?
Start in your own home, look for things you no longer use or need. Ask people you know, charge a small fee and split the remainder. Stores that offer deep discounts or discontinued items are good sources for products to resell. Garage sales, resell stores are filled with things to resell.
How do I ship, and who pays?
If you’re selling locally, the buyer can pick up the item or you can offer delivery for an additional fee. For shipped items, the buyer typically pays the shipping cost, although you can choose to include it in your price. UPS, USPS, FedEx, and other carriers allow you to drop off packages, and many offer pickup services.
See Field Notes for tips on reducing shipping costs.

What do selling platforms charge?
Many selling platforms are free to join and list your items. Others offer free plans but charge a transaction fee or percentage only after you make a sale.
See Field Notes for marketplace comparisons, current pricing, and selling tips.
