With 360 cameras being out in the market for a few years now, there are a growing number of users who want to sell their 360 cameras to upgrade. At the same time, there are some users who want to get a bargain with a used 360 camera.
360buysell.net is a new Facebook group that works as classified ads for 360 cameras, accessories, and services. Sure, there’s eBay and Amazon, but they have hefty fees for selling. On 360buysell.net, there are no fees and you can post for free. To improve reliability of transactions, it relies on a couple of mechanisms:
First, buyers and sellers use their Facebook profile to post. The other party can then look at the profile and see if they are legitimate (e.g. if they belong to 360 camera groups, and what types of posts they’ve made). Disposable accounts don’t get approval to post.
Second, buyers and sellers are encouraged to post feedback. By reviewing the list of past transactions, you can see if the buyer or seller is a trustworthy resource.
What do you think of this new group? Let me know in the comments!
I would imagine you could pay via paypal to still have buyer protection should you pay and never receive the item, or if the item is defective or not as described.
It is a great idea and a big issue for persons not having a facebook account.
Great initiative! I’m going to post that my matterport pro is up for sale. Maybe not the right forum but if the price is right, it might be possible 🙂
