Group

With a traditional garage sale, you spend days setting up tables, placing items in sales racks, and putting price stickers on everything. And after all your hard work, you also have to spend a day or more sitting around hoping buyers will show up. Make things easier on yourself and take your garage sale online. A virtual garage sale allows you to sell off unwanted items, and it reduces your workload and save you loads of time. Learn how PayIt2 can help you host a successful virtual garage sale today!

What Is a Virtual Garage Sale?

With a virtual garage sale, such as VarageSale, you can sell items locally. You also have the opportunity to reach a larger group of shoppers by setting up and promoting your own web page, plus you get to leave the sale open as long as you want. Just take a picture and write a description of each item, then put the images on a web page for shoppers to view with a link to your PayIt2 Collect Page.

Cut Clutter and Raise Funds

List your unwanted items in an online garage sale and take advantage of new financial technology for collecting money. Open up the garage sale to other sellers, or invite others to donate unwanted items to the garage sale to support a worthy cause. This allows others to get a great deal, feel-good about contributing to a worthy cause, and they can spruce up the house while cutting clutter.

Keeping a Virtual Garage Sale Organized

One big advantage of a virtual garage sale is that buyers are not rooting through your sale items, thereby losing or damaging them. However, it helps if you start out organized. Pick up several plastic bins or boxes and a label maker or marker. As you photograph and list items, sort them by categories, such as toasters, men’s garments, shoes or small size women’s tank tops, and mark the boxes accordingly. Use whatever category fits, and that will make it easy for you to quickly find items that sell.

Take Advantage of Collecting Money Online

Collecting funds on a PayIt2 Collect Page helps you organize sales and donated funds by letting customers pay online. The service also provides you with specific data about the sales and funds raised. Furthermore, in the unlikely event of a return, you can easily manage refunds right through your PayIt2 account. This saves you time and brings a high level of organization to your virtual garage sale.
