Vinted V eBay

Hi, I'm keen to have a big clear out. I've donated some items (and topped up with buying nappies etc.) to my local Baby Bank, shared hardy/unused things with friends who have had babies recently and given generously to a couple of local charity shops.
But there are some things that I'd like to sell to make a bit of money as my maternity pay ends in a few weeks.
It's things like nice handbags that I no longer use and a GHD hairdryer that's only been used a few times and is still in its original box. Plus a few baby things.
My question is which is the best website/app to sell things on?

I live nearby to a PO but want minimal printing expectations as my DH currently has full use of the home office and I don't want to disturb him.
Any tips gratefully received.

I personally find Vinted easier, to list and get paid. You’re not charged any fees for selling.

If you make sure your postage option only offers Royal Mail you can just hand write the address and take it to the post office

I find vinted easier, although I do think you get a better price on eBay. You also get your money quicker on eBay, you can sometimes wait weeks on vinted. If you don't want to print labels for vinted you can do InPost, Evri and InPost label free/print in-store, just set the postage options to the ones you want to offer. I think you'll lose sales on vinted if you just offer RM as advised above. It's more expensive, and a lot of people are avoiding them at the moment. It's also more hassle for you because RM labels aren't prepaid like the others and you're responsible when it goes missing.

Really helpful thank you. The folks at the local PO are quite rude and there's always a massive queue. There's an Evri drop off nearby so will have a go with them. Thanks. I think I'll list smaller baby stuff on V and bigger more ££ items on eBay!
