When posting items, you’ll need to include title, price, and location. The more information you provide, the more likely you’ll be able to sell your item faster. Help buyers find your item faster by adding a description, category, and the ability to ship.
To get started:
- Open the app and tap
- Tap Take Photo, or to choose from pictures you already have, tap Select Photo
- Use a cover photo that shows the whole item, by itself
- Add at least 2 more photos (maximum of 12). Items with more photos sell faster
- More photo tips
- Enter a detailed Title
- Include name, brand, year, or size, as applicable
- Double-check your spelling. If people can’t search for it, they may not be able to find it.
To add details:
You now have the option to add more details to your products. While there are only two required fields (Category and Condition), we highly recommend filling out as many fields as possible. This makes it easier for buyers to find your products quickly and for you to sell your products faster!
- Select the item's Category or confirm that the category selected for you is accurate.
- For example, if you’re selling a hammer, make sure it’s in Tools, not in Clothing & shoes
- If you don't see the category you want, pick the closest one
- Select the item's Sub-category if available (optional)
- Set the item’s Condition. (The default condition is set to Good (for Cars & Trucks only) or Used (normal wear) and will need to be adjusted as you see fit.)
- Provide information for as many of the other fields as you can.
- Write a quick Description
- While this field is optional, we highly recommend adding a short description to your products. Listings without a description often get lower buyer interest.
- Add values for any field(s) that a buyer will need information on in order to make a purchase. (Example: Size for clothing, Shoes, etc.)
- Car: include info like the year, make, and model. See: Adding vehicle information
- Furniture: include height, width, and length
- Enter your Price
- Try setting a price that’s the same or less than what similar items are selling for online. (The max price value is $750 for shippable items.)
Turn on Shipping:
- Set the item’s Location (required)
- Buyers will only see the approximate location of the item (they won’t be able to see your exact location)
- Choose if you want to meet up in person and/or Sell & ship nationwide
- Shipping it? You can toggle the Sell & ship nationwide button. Some shipping restrictions will apply (See: How shipping works for sellers)
- Shipping it? You can toggle the Sell & ship nationwide button. Some shipping restrictions will apply (See: How shipping works for sellers)
- Choose your package size. For more info, read Selling and shipping nationwide.
- You can decide whether or not to Enable Buy Now. If you choose to enable this, you will auto-accept the first full-price shipping offer you receive.
- Tap Post - and you're done! Check the app for messages from interested buyers.
