Well, recently I've been trying to sell some of electronics on ebay and haven't really had much success. Then I remembered on another forum I used to go on they had a "Buy, Sell, & Trade Section". I just thought it would be kind of helpful for people to sell what they don't need, and for others to buy what they want or trade with others.
But yea, just an idea.

This has been suggested many times, I went through and looked, can't find many of them, guessing they've been deleted. but the reason that it always gets rejected is because of the possibility of scammers and whatnot. really, it's a "we don't want it because we don't want to get blamed for anything that could go wrong," and it's a valid reason.
really the only way i could see this being done in a manner that would protect the site and its owners from any responsibility would be doing it on a sub-domain or something, like shop.codinghs.com, with a completely different set of rules, and making people have a separate account and all sorts of stuff about "this site makes no guarantees about the validity of the things sold here, please make sure that you check the other person's reliability records and stuff"
and even then, i'm not sure that the possibility of trouble would be worth the hassle.

haha. you need to make things stand out, make things catch people's eye. USE CAPITAL LETTERS, exclamat!on po!nts and friendly words like free shipping if on something like ebay, or something comparable on sites like craigslist. you just need to be patient, and remember, people are always looking for a good deal, make what you're selling look like the best deal out there.

It can take a couple weeks, just be patient, eventually someone will want it.
