Any tips for success?

1. Take photos (up to 12) of your item showing everything you would want to see yourself.
2. Comprehensive photos can save lots of back & forth messaging from buyers.
3. Upload the photos in a JPEG format at least 1000 pixels wide.
4. To change your photo – first add a second one (drag to re-order)
5. Make sure your item looks its best as you’ll be competing with other sellers of similar items.
6. Ensure good background lighting and make the item fill the picture.
7. Be honest in your description of its condition, any defects or special features.
8. Price it realistically or if you’re not sure of its value hit the ‘INVITE OFFERS’ dropdown.

Any tips for safeguarding?

1. If a deal sounds too good to be true – it probably is, so be on your guard.
2. Never part with your goods until you have received cleared funds or cash in hand.
3. We strongly advise not accepting a cheque – they can bounce even 120 days after clearing!
4. Don’t refund anyone without first confirming their identity and UK address.
