Frequently Asked Questions
Can I resell electronics on Facebook Marketplace with no experience?
Yes β the majority of AmazeDeals resellers had no prior experience when they started. Facebook Marketplace is one of the most beginner-friendly platforms because it connects you with buyers in your community and cash pickup requires no shipping. Start by listing your 3β5 best items from your first box, learn how buyers respond, and scale from there.
How much can I make selling electronics on Facebook Marketplace?
We do not track what resellers resell for, so we will not quote you a return on electronics on Facebook Marketplace. What is fixed: a Pro Box is $199, and the item count and the listed retail of the contents are stated on the product page. Price your own items from completed listings on your platform, and subtract that platform's fees before you call it profit.
Do I need to test electronics items before listing?
Yes β always test electronic and mechanical items before listing. A working item listed as "tested, works perfectly" commands 15β25% more than an unlisted condition item.
What happens if an item doesn't sell on Facebook Marketplace?
If an item hasn't sold within 2 weeks, try: (1) reducing the price by 15β20%, (2) relisting with new photos, or (3) cross-posting to a different platform. As a last resort, bundle slow-moving items into a lot listing. Most electronics items sell eventually at the right price β it's simply a matter of finding the right buyer.
