Sell faster and smarter
Tips for selling your things faster
Photos, text, price and quick replies make the difference. Here is what works.
1. Photos sell
The image is the first thing buyers see. A few extra minutes here make everything else easier.
One item per listing
Do not mix unrelated items in one listing. Buyers search for one thing, and we write better text when every photo shows it.
Daylight and a clean background
Place the item near a window against a neutral wall or clean floor. Avoid flash, clutter and dark corners.
Keep the subject centred
Show the entire item. Include an overview, a detail and any visible wear.
Be honest about condition
Honest photos mean fewer cancelled purchases and a faster deal.
2. Many items? Do them together
Film a room for the fastest overview, or upload up to 30 photos at once. We identify and group the items so you can create separate listings.
3. Let us write — then add your knowledge
You receive a finished title and description, but you know the item best. Add its brand, model, age, measurements, accessories, receipt and any defects.
4. Choose a fair price
Our suggestion is based on similar second-hand items. Compare a few listings and leave a little room for negotiation if you are unsure.
5. Reply quickly
The first seller to reply often gets the sale. All contact stays in Sellavo, so your email address and phone number remain private.
6. Is the listing standing still?
Boost the listing
A boost returns the listing to the top. Evenings and Sundays often work best.
Adjust the price
Views without messages often indicate that the price is too high.
Change the first photo
A brighter main photo can substantially increase clicks.
Renew in time
Listings pause automatically after 60 days. Renew before then to retain statistics.
7. Safety and rules
Never put phone numbers, email addresses or links in the listing. We review published content to protect users and keep contact traceable. Read the listing rules.
