Selling used

Get a quote from MPB first. MPB buys directly — you get an instant online quote, ship the gear free, and get paid after inspection. It’s the fastest honest price discovery: even if you then list privately, you’ll know your floor. KEH runs a similar buy program in the US. Private sale (eBay, forums) usually nets 10–20% more but costs you time, fees and buyer risk.

Seller’s tip: a screenshot of the shutter count (from EOS Digital Info) in your listing builds trust and justifies your price. Under-half-rating counts are a genuine selling point — show the number.

Frequently asked questions

Is it safe to buy a used Canon on eBay?
It can be — stick to sellers with long histories and detailed photos, pay with buyer protection, and verify the shutter count yourself on arrival. For zero-hassle, KEH/MPB’s warranties are worth the small premium.

Where do I get the most money selling my Canon?
Private sale usually tops trade-in quotes by 10–20%, but after fees and hassle the gap shrinks. Get an MPB/KEH quote first so you negotiate from knowledge.

Should I mention the shutter count in my listing?
Absolutely — with a screenshot. It’s the single most-asked question from used buyers, and a low verified count sells the camera faster.
