Glyde is an eCommerce marketplace that provides a simple, safe way to buy and sell used and new consumer media and electronics such as video games, DVDs, iPads, iPhones, and Kindles.

Glydeâ€™s eCommerce engine absorbs complexity so the user experience is simple. Buyers enjoy the great deals of a peer-to-peer marketplace combined with the service, convenience, and safety of a retail store. Glyde provides extensive buyer protection and offers a no-hassle return policy for used as well as new goods.

Glyde similarly makes it simple for consumer sellers of used media and electronics to receive fair value for their items. Sellers list items in seconds by entering the title, selecting the image, and choosing the condition. Glyde suggests the fair market value and presents a one-click option to donate proceeds to charity. Once the item is sold, the seller conveniently ships the item in a pre-addressed, stamped envelope provided by Glyde.

Started by the founder of eBay Motors, the Glyde marketplace reaches millions of potential buyers and sellers every month through glyde.com, Facebook, and large media and content partnerships.
