My blog post was written as part of my collaboration with eBay.
My husband and son have been drooling over the new PlayStation 4 for months. Now that it’s officially been released, they have been begging to get one. I told them we could upgrade as long as we sold our PlayStation 3 to help compensate for some of the cost. Over the years, we have turned to eBay to help us quickly and easily sell items that we no longer want, so when I learned that eBay’s new Simple Flow interface makes it easier than ever to sell a game console, I couldn’t wait to try it out.
As a seller on eBay for almost 12 years, I have to say that eBay has definitely made it easier than ever to sell a console with the Simple Flow interface. I was able to list our PlayStation 3 in just a few minutes and the entire process was quick and seamless. In the past, the selling process took forever, with multiple pages to go through and edit. Now it’s a matter of clicking a handful buttons and you’re item is up for sale.
Ready to see how easy it is to sell your console? Follow along below as I document the process of listing our PS3.
Step #1 – Head on over to the Simple Flow interface for consoles. Then click on the device you wish to sell. (I selected “PlayStation”)
Step #2 – Choose the type of device. (I chose “Consoles”)
Step #3 – Choose the model. (I selected “PlayStation 3”)
Step #4 – Select the device’s condition. (I selected “used”)
Step #5 – Click “Next” to make any customizations or stick with eBay’s suggested prices for auction and “Buy It Now.”
Step #6 – Make any customizations to the listing. At this point, I could have submitted my listing but I chose to edit mine a little bit. I started by changing the title and adding two of my own photos. I also added in a description of what was included in the auction. I left the suggested auction price, but removed the “Buy It Now” price. I also left the shipping details the same. The best part is it’s free to list, so if our item doesn’t sell we aren’t out any money.
Once I had everything complete, I clicked the “List it” button and just like that our PS3 was officially listed for sale. In a little less than a week, our PS3 should be sold and we will have some extra cash to put towards a PS4!
With the holidays right around the corner, now would be a great time to sell your old phone, tablet, or console on eBay. Not only will you make some extra cash for holiday spending, you will also have a great excuse to buy that new device you’ve been wanting! Head on over to the Simple Flow interface and start selling today.
