Sell Faster, Sell Better
Proven tips from experienced community sellers. Small changes that make a big difference.
Photos matter most
Natural lighting is your best friend — photograph near a window or outside
Show the item from multiple angles
Include a photo of any flaws — buyers appreciate honesty
Clean the item before photographing
A clean background makes items look more valuable
Pricing strategy
Research what similar items sold for recently
Price 10-20% higher than your minimum — leave room for negotiation
Use our AI price suggestion as a starting point
Free items get picked up fast — great for decluttering
Write great descriptions
Lead with the brand, model, or key feature
Include dimensions for furniture
Mention why you're selling — it builds trust
Be upfront about any damage or wear
Or just tap “AI Auto-Fill” and let our AI write it for you

Quick responses lead to faster sales
Use the quick reply buttons to save time
Be a good neighbor
Show up on time for pickups
Have the item ready and as described
Be flexible on pickup times when possible
After the sale, thank the buyer for their purchase
