Sell your items
Whether you’re an individual with just a few items, or a business with a warehouse full, eBay offers a broad selection of tools and solutions that make selling computers, cell phones and electronics easier.

If you’d like to sell your own item, you can find out what it could be worth, erase your old data or get a shipping kit. If you'd rather not sell it yourself, eBay offers three solutions: 1) Find a store where you can drop it off and they sell it for you; 2) Use the fast cash trade-in tool to get an instant offer on your old item and arrange for free home or office pick-up and free shipping; 3) Find a local trading assistant who can handle the selling process for you.
