You can start selling in Jamaica today without spending a dollar. The question is which free channel brings orders, and which one just brings "how much?" messages.
The free options, honestly
| Channel | Fees | Found on Google? | Payment safety |
|---|---|---|---|
| EzyCart JM | Free · 5% standard on marketplace orders only | Yes — a page per product | Receipt upload, Mark paid, shipped with proof |
| Free | No | DMs and screenshots | |
| WhatsApp catalog | Free | No | DMs and screenshots |
| Facebook Marketplace | Free | Weak | Cash at pickup |
| Classifieds sites | Free / paid boosts | Some | None |
What actually brings orders
Being found by someone who is already searching. Instagram shows your product to people who know you; a marketplace page shows it to strangers typing "gold hoops Jamaica" into Google. Both matter; only one grows on its own.
Get paid without getting burned
Never ship on a screenshot in a DM. Use a channel where the customer uploads the receipt to the order and you confirm before shipping.
