• Select all the payment types you will accept.  We recommend using our integrated PayPal pr Stripe option for complete buyer and seller protection.
• Be ready to respond quickly to buyer questions.
   

3. Engage During the Sale

Engagement is key to a successful listing. Answering questions helps build trust and attracts more listing interest.

• Use the “Questions & Answers” section to interact with potential buyers (you will be notified when you receive a new question).
• Help boost your listing’s visibility by sharing it on social media (such as Facebook Marketplace or Groups), free classifieds sites like Craigslist, forums, or other relevant websites.
   

4. Finalize the Sale

When the listing concludes with a winning bid, Buy Now, or accepted offer, the buyer will first be asked to pay our marketplace Buyers Premium.  Once this is paid, we connect you directly with the buyer to complete the transaction. Both parties receive each other’s contact information to arrange payment, local pickup, or shipping.

Sellers are expected to complete transactions promptly after the listing ends.
