I sell on Amazon, eBay and Craigslist. In addition most communities have yard sale groups on Facebook that tend to be a little more personal than Craigslist and are easy to sell on. I use these also.
The key is to pick the right place for the stuff. In general:
Craigslist: bulky items, common items, bundled items that do not sell well on their own
eBay: collectibles, brand names - And don't get sucked into their suggestion to start goods at .99 cent auctions - eBay has become more of a buy it now marketplace than an auction house. Price your goods at what you are willing to take for them unless you have something really special that will do well at auction.
Amazon: not just for media - you can also sell many goods that Amazon carries. I have sold weights, an electronic keyboard, games and more on Amazon.
There are great apps and sites available that can help you figure out profit and loss from sales and if it is worth your time.
For shipping goods, eBay has discounted shipping. I use a scale and weigh things and calculate the shipping at USPS. I keep on hand a supply of mailers purchased in bulk and recycle boxes.
Watch out for selling anything you can't afford to lose. Unfortunately there are scams on these sites with buyers returning different merchandise, saying they never got it etc.
Craigslist is great. No fees - cash and carry. There are email scrapers so watch out for odd emails where the items is not referenced or they ask you to email them directly. Do not use Western Union or accept checks. Cash only.
It really is fun cutting back on the stuff and awesome when you make money at the same time!
