Selling my odds and ends. Facebook marketplace or eBay?

I would suggest finding specialist and sights for each item.
three Austin seven cars? wow!
eBay has better back up if things go wrong but Facebook is more personal

I have used eBay quite a bit recently 
They arrange the postage now either through Royal Mail or Evri, you can choose which to specify when listing your item.
It is all tracked postage so less chance for false “I didn’t receive my item” claims and you can get the postage label printed in the post office or parcel shop when you drop the item off which is less hassle.
I’ve never used Facebook so can’t offer any advice.
Hope this helps, good luck whichever you choose

Thanks for the replies. I had a look at f-book marketplace and eBay. eBay seems to have a larger amount of stuff on sale, whether that's a good thing or not I don't know.
It's not going to be easy, especially since most of the stuff I have for sale will probably be too big for posting and will have to be collected from me in Cornwall.

Ebay, if you book royal mail for the smaller items you can pay £0.30 for the royal mail to collect from you, i live in the sticks so its a no brainer for me used ebay a few times for selling mixed results, but worth checking out what similar items are going for were all looking for a bargain after all

Vinted is very easy to use and is getting more popular . Ebay is also easier than it used to be and they both have good back up and protections for both the seller and buyer
