I was checking sample of the listings and those who sell good they mention details like non smokers house and bundle items to save more money
Other available sites to check for selling your clothes
3- Sell used items on Facebook Marketplace
I love Facebook Marketplace as I tested it and found how easy it is to sell items
I was able to get 500 dollars fast by selling all of my baby’s stuff like stroller, car seats and baby monitors along with other toys not suitable for my kids’ ages
Definitely you should give it a try and keep it on your list
4- Sell used items on Craigslist
Craigslist is still alive for those who does not know about Facebook Marketplace
Although Craigslist looks like an old outdated site but it gets tons of traffic and it is full of weird deals and offers
5- Sell on eBay
eBay is always number one consumer to consumer eCommerce site that turned so many ordinary people to make full time income
There are so many artists and also those who make crafts or sell precious coins making decent income

6- Deliver food
DoorDash or Postmates are ideal sites to help you make quick money delivering food in your neighborhood for extra cash
7- Babysitting
Babysitting as a jobs can help you keep making 500 dollars cash every month
Once you find a list of parents who try your services and trust you well, they will keep asking for your free time to keep their kids with you
I found Care.com to be one of the best sites to check and create a profile if you plan to go for baby sittings as a side hustle

Or check in at a hotel for overnight stay and take pictures of everything

Legitimate websites like Marketforce.com and Secretshopper.com will not ask you to pay any money
Even you can get reimbursed for the products you bought while keeping it

With this method alone, you are on the track on how to make 500 dollars fast in one day
I would say one of the easiest way to make 500 dollars fast is to arrange for garage sale

24- Rent your car
Sometimes we have our cars sitting idle especially during the weekend
Even if you decide to use your car in weekend you will end up using one car as a family and leave your spouse car
Also if you go on vacation for 2 weeks, you car will not be used during your stay away vacation so why don’t you rent it and make money out of it

29- Sell your Jewelries

Consider signing up to UserTesting and also UTest, UserFeel and Userbrain.net
Also TestingTime pays good money to PayPal account for testing products and services
35- Make money by lending money
If you have extra money instead of 1% bank interest you can use the extra cash as a way on how to make 500 dollars fast
If you have no idea about investing your money then use lending club
