Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I've recently gotten into selling items on Etsy, and so far I like their system much better. When I have a sale, I can instantly print a packing list and a shipping label, and the postage gets deducted from my account. Its a very clean, easy system, and far more trustworthy system than anything using PayPal - SO FAR.
The main problem with Etsy is that items either need to be produced by the seller, or be vintage. I sell items that fit both of those categories, so it works for me, but it is not a site to sell normal household goods. You couldn't sell new books or current pressings of LPs, for instance. That's what keeps them from fully competing with Ebay. They could change that policy to include everything, but that would fundamentally change what Etsy IS, and I doubt they want that.
I use Craigslist and FB Marketplace for selling guitars, musical instruments, and household goods. Craigslist used to be pretty good, but seems useless these days. I always post my items on both, but I NEVER get responses from Craigslist anymore, only FB. Also, all they do is connect buyer and seller. They do nothing to facilitate the transaction, like take care of payments or shipping. They are simply 21st c. Classified Ads.
There are others like OfferUp, but I've never used them.
