Pro Tips for Success
Listing Best Practices
- • Lot Numbers: Always start at #1. Keeping items in order ensures a smooth pickup process for buyers.
- • Title & Description: Keep titles short. Bidders prefer descriptions that are concise and contain only relevant information.
- • Condition Field: This is critical. You must disclose any and all damage, defects, or wear in this field.
- • Categories: If you don't see a category that fits your item, contact us and we will review adding it.
Photography Guide
- • Main Photo: Your very first photo must be the clear "Hero" shot that captures the buyer's attention instantly.
- • Visual Details: Take enough pictures so that the buyer understands the item fully without needing to read the description.
- • Composition: Ensure photos are straight and the item is centered. The item should take up as much of the image as possible.
- • Bulk Uploading: It is best to upload in bulk. Use a smartphone or digital camera for clear, attractive images.
