The internet is one gigantic mall.

Yesterday, a friend shared with me that she had sold an unused weed eater on Facebook. She’s actually the last person I expected to hear that from! But honestly, I’m not too surprised — the internet has become this huge, sprawling marketplace for all kinds of new, lightly used, and sometimes totally unnecessary items. It’s interesting to note that nearly 25% of new items bought online get returned, and in my experience, that rate can be even higher—over 50%—because a beautiful picture of an item often doesn’t quite match what you see in real life.
