Zez Retro | DONE selling on eBay! - The Cathode Ray Podcast #48 @ZezRetro | Uploaded March 2023 | Updated October 2024, 14 hours ago.
In this episode the boys talk through the ups and downs of selling retro items online. eBay and it's buyer protections are good but the fees and legal requirements for that platform are starting to add up. Is another platform the answer or should we look to our retro community instead?
