FAQ
What furniture items can I sell on Amazon?
There are no specific restrictions, so it is possible to sell any item of home furniture: both indoor items, such as sofas and beds, and outdoor items, such as garden tables or chairs.
Why are the photos and description important?
In online sales, the buyer cannot physically see the item of furniture they intend to buy. A detailed description of the materials and dimensions of the item for sale is thus essential to help the buyer understand if the furniture they intend to buy is what they are looking for. Alongside the description, high-quality photos that show the product from different angles are just as important.
Can I sell used furniture on Amazon?
Yes, it is possible to sell used furniture on Amazon. To learn more about this aspect, it is advisable to consult the Guide to selling pre-owned items online.
