What's the best way to sell paper?

So, I was flipping through my obese presentation case earlier today and realized my collection needs to thin. What method of sales would you guys think is best for prints? I know eBay is convenient but you honestly get waxed on fees. Of course, there is a much larger audience and potentially extra funds. Paypal fees are inevitable. EB seems like more haters than anything. I'm in a number of FB groups, those might be valuable resources. Not sure if there are many other options.

I've never sold anything on EB but I've bought a few things with zero problems.

eBay of course is best. Pony up the 10% and don't worry about it as they give you the widest platform

Ebay will get you more exposure on the items your selling. I do a poster collection thin out every so often on Ebay.

Ive sold both on Ebay and EB.

EB - You will get less $ for your print even without the ebay fees.
- plus side, is you are dealing with people who know about prints, how to ship communicate etc.

Ebay - you can get more $ i find... but sometimes you have to deal with some less experienced art collectors.

You can always toss your list on the "trading post" thread here. Maybe someone has an ISO of yours that you can work something out on.

THIS! I just sold a piece to a d-bag on ebay who wants to return a piece because he thought it would have been something different. I clearly had no returns, everything was described as was, but he for some reason assumed a screen print meant it was a litho.

I've sold and traded on expressobeans with 0 problems!
