Any advice on eBay store for 3D prints?

[Gizmo j]

I just got a AD5X 3D printer and wanted to sell my prints.

I've never sold anything online in my life, but I've bought hundreds of items online.

Does anyone have advice?

Etsy?

Not like I have any experience selling, well, anything anywhere, either.

Probably etsy, but I can't imagine the market for plastic junk is lucrative.

I've bought a couple printed plastic things, but they were esoteric prototypes, and I bought them as much to support a small business as I did for their utility. They are useful. Not just junk to sit around, and not something you can find just anywhere.

So far I've sold like 7 phone stands and 2 bust at pawn shops, barbershops, and also at those free phone booths.

I was going to go back to those free phone booths maybe the day after tomorrow, there's a bunch of them by the welfare office.

What's a free phone booth?

I meant those people who sells free phones, usually in front of the welfare office.

They use to call them "Obama phones".

That don't have these in your state?

If it's federal, I guess they do, but I don't travel in the right circles to see them I guess.

Usually when a homeless person owns a cellphone, it's a "Obama phone".

#1 advice for selling online as an individual: be prepared to be ripped off
Number 2, I think you in particular will probably lose money doing this, but look up how much similar items have sold for (completed listings, not active), figure out how much you'll be spending on packing and shipping supplies, figure out how much eBay is going to charge you, and then see how much money you'll actually be making after accounting for materials.
