Have you experienced an online trade called Buy and Sell?

Yes! I've experienced it through Facebook's marketplace and buy and sell groups.

Let's talked about buy and sell online. It is the buying and selling goods and services online from an individual to another in exchange of money or through barter system (exchanging of items or goods)

How we started in Buy and Sell through Fb's marketplace?

In the year 2015, I'm working as a cashier in a Family Arcade located inside a mall. I don't have an idea about buy and sell online. I only knew that I can buy the things that I want and need in store or in malls. Until my borfriend (who is now my partner in life) told me that he will sell his phone and change it into a better one. He'll do an upgrade, he said. He posted his item in the marketplace. Alot of customers commented and messaged him privately. Until he found someone who offers him a good deal. They both agreed in the terms of their deal. They met at the mall where I worked.

An example of their conversation

And that's how it started. Everytime he saw something in the marketplace he's selling our gadgets (mobile phones, earphones and other mobile accessories). The deal sometimes is to barter their items (mobile phone exchanged into another lower phone) and the lower item should add extra money to cope up with the price of the item to be swapped.

Can you earn money through it?

Yes ofcourse! There's what we called a "Buy low, Sell high" strategy. It is buying an item at a low price and selling it in a higher price. But most of the items at the marketplace is secondhand so it means you can't sell it at a higher price.

Buying and selling online is a little convenient, just take a sit, go online on your pc/laptop or mobile phone look for the items you want to buy or upload your items you want to sell but we should always remember:

Beware of scammers a lot of them scattered online. Be wise and know the person you are dealing with.

If by chance you want to do any buy and sell transactions especially when you wanted to buy it online the safest payment method you could have is Cash on Deleveries. This is based on our experience. Just wait for your item to be delivered door to door by a courier and check your item, when it's all good then that's the time you'll pay for what you bought.

If we buy online the companies should be registered. You are not allowed to check before you sign for it. Some companies you need to pay in advance, some accept the payment later. If it's broke you send it back for free, broke after 14 daysit's the guarantee.

I am not familiar with facebook's market and not crazy about buying electronics second hand or from people I don't know. The thing is with new I have 2 years guarantee at least and the guarantee I receive it. Too many are scammed this way so it's a big no to me.

That's true buying new items from store gives you warranty. People with low budget usually doing this buy and sell online. Because second hand items are much cheaper than new ones and only that items are affordable to them. About the scammers, that's true there's alot of them circulating online.

I have a low budget too but I save for everything. I have a phone and a washing machine and a car. I use it and know it will get broke in two years. This means I have two years' time to save for it which is 36 months. The price of a simple machine/device divided by 36 is the amount I put aside. It's what I do with all things I need. Doctor, school fee, glasses, get included. If I do not have the money I don't buy it. That's why I don't have a fridge. It's not important enough to safe money for.
