  • Write a descriptive title - Use key words that people are likely to search for.

  • Write a detailed description - Let the buyer know the condition, brand, model, colour, size, style, dimensions, specifications etc.


  • Offer as many payment methods as possible - Don't restrict the buyer to only one payment method.


  • Increase your listings - We all know the saying "safety in numbers, law of averages", in definition, the more you have listed the more you will sell.
