Tips for New Users
- Use good photos. Listings with clear, well-lit photos get 3x more attention.
- Be honest about condition. Describe any flaws. Trust is the currency of community commerce.
- Price it right. Check what similar items are listed for. Slightly below market gets faster results.
- Choose the right community. Post in the most specific community that applies. "Berlin Kreuzberg" beats "Berlin" which beats "Germany."
