I have a Christmas wreath hanger that I throw over a door for taking pictures. I also have a kid size hanger and an adult hanger depending on the size of the item.
Hang the item and take a picture if the front and the back of the item, I also take a picture of the tag and size.
Items that aren’t clothes if they can hang on the hanger it’s best for the pictures.
Items that can be laid flat on a dining room table for a picture works also. Remember the more pictures you can take the better and make sure you have good light.
I suggest the milk crate size so it doesn’t get overwhelming. Plus you don’t want to post more then 10 items a day since it bumps items down on a page.
I created a FACEBOOK account for buying and selling items, and following groups. I suggest this since Buy and Sell sites tend to take over your feed.
I try to list things on FACEBOOK primarily. You only need to create the ads once and then click post to other groups.
Items that are high value I post on KIJIJI also.
Item size that don’t sell in a week I write in the comments the new price. If it still doesn’t sell you can delete the item and repost it at the lower asking price.
Items that don’t sell I box up to have a yard sale in the summer. I also always have a bag in the go for low priced items to drop off to charity donations. After a yard sale any items that don’t sell I donate.
When I was getting out of debt I put the money once a month onto our mortgage. Now I deposit it towards our trip funds.
Good luck. I am sure once you reap the rewards of your effort both financially and from finding less clutter more relaxing.
