    seriously fed up with selling things on ebay these days, too many fees, and its all weighted far too much in favour of buyers. Is there anywhere else, similar? where i could put a few things up for sale? I know you can sell on Amazon, what are peoples experiences like?

    Car boot sales or walking into a pub and asking if people want to buy are where it's at <ok> I find that if you are naked when you attempt to make the sale the results are usually even better.

    Good luck

    I did a comparison on the sites that buy your DVDs, CEX seemed to offer the most money so I sold a box of DVDs to them. Only got £48 for the lot so I'm back to selling on ebay now. Got 36 items on with 2 days to go and already bids total over £190 so quite pleased with that. I'm getting rid of all my DVDs as they'll be worthless in a few years. Got a stack of 200 films to rip then a stack of boxsets that I couldn't find on torrents, going to take months.

    I know plus they won't allow you to charge more than £2.25 for postage on DVDs and it costs a lot more than that to post a big box set. I just want them shifted.
