Selling used things

As I used to move around quite a bit I tend to keep myself lean on things. Before I live in UK (not British) and I used to sell quite a few things on eBay, especially when I moved over here and had to get rid of everything. Overall, I never had any issue selling almost anything, of course price would vary. Here, however, I noticed that it takes much longer to sell anything (if at all) and the usually at much smaller price than what it would be in UK. Choice of used things tends to be much smaller as well. I use mercari, yahoo auctions, craigslist and facebook.

I understand that there isn’t a single, most popular service, so it makes things harder, and craigslits or facebook is used mostly by non-japanese. But even put everything together it seems to be much smaller than the British ebay.

Is it only my impression? Is there some disdain when it comes to buying used things? I would like to say not, given how popular places like book off are, but then my experience selling things doesn’t seem to align. I also got impression that Japanese people are much more willing to just throw things away and buy new stuff. Even just browsing for random things the choice seems to be much wider on European services than on the Japanese counterparts.
