How to Sell Your Used MacBook Pro, iMac, or iPad Without the Hassle of eBay or Craigslist Apple products not only have excellent graphics and an intuitive, user-friendly operating system, but they also hold their value over time, unlike many other brands. Which brings us to the question: When you’re ready for a new MacBook Pro, iPad or iPhone, where should you sell your old device for the best value? Disadvantages of Selling on eBay It may be tempting to try selling your device to the highest bidder on eBay, but there are several downsides to this method.

● Sales Fee- eBay takes 10% of your final sale price (which includes the price of the item, shipping charges, and any other amounts you may charge the buyer, excluding sales tax). So, if you sell your MacBook Pro for $250 plus $7.99 shipping, eBay will take $25.79.

● Time Consuming Process- Just getting an item listed can be time-consuming—from describing the condition of the item to gathering manufacturer information and posting pictures. Once listed there’s no telling how quickly your item will sell. If you set up an auction you have the choice of choosing the duration, which could be anywhere from 2 to 30 days. If your item doesn’t sell, you have to start all over again.

● Dealing with questions from consumers- Being bombarded with questions from consumers is often one of the most frustrating parts of selling items on eBay. You may find yourself in time-consuming back-and-forth email strings with prospective buyers that eat away at your precious time.

● Listing fee- If you sell over 50 items a month on eBay you may be charged a fee just to list your device in addition to the fees eBay charges once your item is sold.

● Potential for a return- When you sell an item on eBay there is always the potential for someone to return your item regardless of how thoroughly you described it or the item’s condition. While you have the option of listing your item as a final sale, this could reduce your desirability as a seller.

Disadvantages of Selling on Craigslist

● Anonymity- You never know who you’re dealing with as a seller on Craigslist—you may receive a call from someone interested in your item who says they’re on their way to meet you at your home or a local coffee shop and then never shows up.

● Time consuming/hassles- Although Craigslist has millions of viewers worldwide, since the site is broken up into different geographic regions your reach as a seller will likely be relatively small. This could make selling your item a more time-consuming process.

● Questions about safety and payment- You never really know the intentions of the person on the other end of the phone line, and you could end in a potentially dangerous situation, especially if you sell your device from home. In terms of payment, requiring cash only could limit your opportunities as a seller, but accepting a personal check or even a cashier’s check or money order could be very risky because of scammers.
