The expert gives practical advice for earning without investments and safely
In 2022 alone, approximately 67 million Brazilians purchased products and services online, according to data from the Brazilian Internet Steering Committee (CGI.br). This scenario represents a great opportunity for those who want to earn extra money without making investments, by selling used products.
However, you have to be very careful. Daniel Paredes, specialist at Already soldcompany operating in the second-hand sales sector, reinforces the alarm about scams.
“Just as the number of people buying products online is growing every day, the number of scams is also growing. You have to choose a safe platform to sell your goods, otherwise the result could be losses and stress,” she explains.
Discover 4 expert tips for making money by selling your used items safely on the Internet.
Find out where you will advertise
“Choose a platform that prioritizes your security. Many of them do not offer any support, exposing those selling a product to malicious users. Avoid companies/portals that do not offer any guarantee or insurance in case of fraud”, advises Daniele.
Choose carefully what you will sell
“Whoever buys a used object is looking for a fair price and equivalent quality. Sell something that can really be used by someone. In this way you collaborate with the circular economy, giving a lifeline to an unused object, and still make money” , He says .
Know how to evaluate
“Professional analysis is needed to validate the value of your merchandise. The goal is to make as much profit as possible and help ensure the sale happens as quickly as possible. Look for platforms that also offer this type of guidance. Charging too much can lead to losses and much more could block the sale.”
Pay attention to payments and deliveries
“The most common scams concern payments and deliveries. People who send the product but do not receive money or receive false payment receipts or Pix, deliveries that end in robberies and even kidnappings, among the most diverse situations. Choose a platform that is takes care of the entire financial process and protects you from any risk of fraud,” says Daniel.
24 products sold per minute
Approximately 24 used products are sold online every minute in Brazil. Já Vendeu, for example, takes care of the entire process of buying and selling used cars: the company photographs the product for advertising, collects it from the consumer’s home and also delivers it to the buyer. All this to make life easier for those who want to sell something.
“We want to encourage the circular economy and the offering of good products, with prices up to 90% cheaper than new items. This is a way to contribute to sustainability and the economy, as those who sell can earn extra income without working. It’s a win-win type of business, including the planet,” she concludes.
