Anyone sold on Reverb ?

blues90,

Sorry can't be of any help, as 90% of my guitars get traded in with the guitar shop.

blues90, from that other message board:

I just got this email today from Reverb.... perhaps some of you did also?
Not sure I'm all that excited about it:

Dear Reverber,

We’re writing to let you know about a new IRS reporting requirement for 2022:

Beginning January 1, 2022, marketplaces like Reverb will be required to collect tax identification information from sellers who sell $600 or more on the platform in a calendar year.

This information is needed to ensure timely and accurate issuing of a Form 1099-K.

There’s nothing you need to do now, but we may ask you for tax identification information in 2022 if you hit the new $600 threshold.

It used to be three and a half percent selling fee, plus a credit card processing fee, and of course the shipping label is separate. I think it is up to a 5% selling fee now. I usually got the best price using UPS ground from the Reverb shipping label generator, but the price varies depending on the box dimensions and the total weight. Probably also depending on how far it has to go. I have sold four or five guitars on reverb now, and think it was a pleasant experience for all concerned. Just take lots of good pictures, answer most of the questions that you could think of in the text of your ad, and things should work out pretty smoothly.

Feel free to check out links to my sold guitars in "Guitars for Sale" section toward the bottom... 😊

Here's one - there are a few more...

I have HO trains and power tools and 3 acoustic guitars listed on Craigslist. Sold the trains today asked $500 got $400 they were just sitting and places like Trains are only interested in above $1000 and the charge a fee.

E bay has become a rip off with what they take.

Might have a buyer for my Fender CP-60S I listed it for $130 taking a loss yet I never use it.

I have tons of other stuff listed from power tools to fly fishing gear reels rods and fly tying stuff . Three guitar pedals I never use. three guitars.

I just need the funds.

I've read how much E Bay sucks out of your profit. I used to sell in the 90's didn't even need photo's then the photo's were required then paypal then taxes same on line Sweetwater/ MF so on Reverb sales tax which you already paid when you buy anything then get hit again selling any thing.

I'll just keep relisting on Craigslist hoping all the stuff is gone.It's a real pain listing because you need to basically start from square 1 with each item and try to take clear photo's with a cell phone . I have a log in yet for some reason each item is a process unless I'm doing it wrong . I saw something on their site to do it faster didn't work.
