Word of warning on Ebay tho, and this comes from someone who's been flipping stuff there for 20 years: There's a hold on your funds for around 21 days, depending on how fast the item is shipped out, and registered as delivered (hint: Always use tracked shipping)
Second, there's a limit on how much you can list / sell as a beginner. So don't count on being able to liquidate collections or extra stuff in a flash.
And third, Ebay is incredibly biased towards buyers - so if you're looking to sell something very expensive, try local first - where you can get cash in hand. I've lost thousands of dollars on Ebay as a seller, even though I've followed every step to secure myself.
But other than that - it's a very hard place to beat if you're looking to sell something. I'm selling on a TON of channels, but it's really hard to beat Ebay for actually getting stuff sold.
