Should I sell old toys on eBay or Facebook Marketplace?

The best platform depends on what kinds of toys you’re selling.

Choose eBay if: you have vintage, rare, or highly sought-after collectibles, like sealed LEGO sets, 1980s action figures, or rare Pokémon cards. eBay gives you access to a large audience of collectors, which can help you get a higher price, but it does charge seller fees, so you’ll want to factor those into your expected profit.

Choose Facebook Marketplace if: you’re clearing out everyday toys, large items like play kitchens or ride-on cars, or bulky lots, like a big bin of mixed LEGO or a bag of plushies. It’s usually better for quick local sales and pickup, and local cash sales can avoid shipping hassles and may have lower selling costs.

If you have a mix of items, the best approach is often to put the rare, valuable toys on eBay and sell the rest locally on Facebook Marketplace.
