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
