Looking for a platform to sell on

Hello, I’m a seller who sells clothes and electronics like AirPods or headphones. I often use Vinted and Snapchat to sell, but I feel like these platforms are becoming increasingly saturated, and I’m wondering if there are other platforms like Vinted that are much simpler and problem-free, and perhaps even better.

for electronics eBAy

I don’t want to advertise, but there’s also Opla which is still very new (same function as Vinted)

Thanks for the link.
I just took a look to see what it looks like. In my « niche » of vintage football jerseys, there’s a heck of a lot of counterfeits :confused:
Too bad

So I’ll reconsider my position on Opla with the latest new feature, at least it can be tested without wasting time so it doesn’t cost much to test.

Yes, I saw that too, but you have to install an extension if I understood correctly, and given the bans at the moment, I don’t dare to try :rofl: It would be stupid to get banned because you put on a Vinted extension that copies ads for Opla :rofl::rofl:

Oh darn, I had created a post about this, haha.

Personally, with the bans for bots, not knowing how their transfer works (especially with their app), I’m going to refrain.

I am a player, I launched

another new feature:

And meanwhile, Vinted prefers to spend its energy setting up a rubbish bot that bans people randomly.

To transfer your listings to Opla, you must not be banned from Vinted :sleepy_face:

Certainly because they decided to do a bit of cleaning…
After for Opla, the problem is not what new things or improvements they release.
There is nothing to say, they are trying to stand out and include options, such as the possibility of offering a promotion on one or more items for 5 days.
That’s not bad!

No, the problem is the lack of visibility and especially potential buyers.
It seems that, for the moment, there are only sellers.
So it’s good to fill the catalog, but at some point, buyers need to be interested.

I ask the question to those who have been there for a few months.
Have you made a single sale? :woozy_face:

hence my first message :face_savoring_food:

With their new update and the Vinted import, I was tempted. It’s been 48 hours since listings went live, and I have 3 views spread across 46 listings.

In other words, it’s dead as a doornail for now, and I don’t understand how they make money to stay afloat.

Their pro subscriptions are useless since even as a private seller, it’s dead…

Hello, lots of views, but no sales in 1 month

you convinced me, I tried it too. Import gives, I do the transfers on their platform. If it works well, it would be really great to update easily xD

I also have the impression that things are starting to move on opla, there are starting to be buyers

I haven’t been able to experience that yet :sweat_smile:

On the other hand, it must be acknowledged that they are moving well and quite pertinently. It’s just their pro subscription that I find ill-advised when the platform offers no visibility on sales.

Uh, me neither :joy: :joy:
Maybe some sellers buy things from themselves to have the joy of getting a sale :joy:
I hope they will focus on referencing because it’s good to announce more than 100,000 ads in a weekend, but if it’s just for show, we don’t care :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

And also, their paid « account verification » for €1, by offering a rating star, they are making fun of people…
Well, we’ll see…

In absolute terms, I don’t believe it at all (especially with eBay’s offensive on individuals) but at least I wouldn’t have killed myself working to make my listings, so well, I would have at worst lost a few minutes.

meh, especially as a newcomer who has to establish themselves

Opla is starting out, I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt. But they need to seriously focus on SEO.
What worries me is the astronomical quantity of fake football jerseys (my sales domain). When I browse Opla, there’s almost nothing else. There’s nothing better to drive away buyers who have at least some knowledge. There are also a lot on Vinted, but in proportion, it’s much less.

Search engine optimization is a plus, but it doesn’t change much; Beebs is listed and they are sinking. The problem is that they offer nothing new; it’s a copy-paste of Vinted. And you still have to consider that Vinted causes problems when you are active, but for people who make a few sales or purchases per year, they don’t necessarily see the problems. In my circle, all the mothers are extremely happy; I don’t even bother to debate anymore when they talk to me about it.
