Pro seller tips
Sell faster. Sell for more.
Photos
- Natural light. Outside, golden hour, or near a north-facing window.
- Multiple angles. 6+ photos sell 2× faster than 1 photo.
- Show flaws honestly. A scratch in your photo is a non-issue at pickup. A scratch they discover at pickup is a refund.
- Stage with context. A sofa on a clean rug looks twice as expensive as the same sofa in a cluttered garage.
- 3/4 angle for furniture. Shows depth and dimensions in one photo.
Pricing
- Use our AI price suggestion as a baseline. Adjust by 5–15% based on condition.
- Round to .00, .50, or .99 — odd numbers feel cheap.
- Price 5–10% above your floor — leave room to negotiate.
- Drop price 10% after 7 days if no offers. Drop 20% after 14 days. Re-list after 30 if still nothing.
Response time
- Respond within 1 hour during waking hours. After 4 hours, conversion rate drops 50%.
- Turn on push notifications.
- If you can't respond fast, mark yourself "out of office" in your seller profile.
