Write a useful listing title and description
A specific title and honest, structured details help buyers decide whether your item fits their needs.
Put identifying facts in the title
Use the item type, brand or model when known, and one useful distinguishing detail. For example, “Office desk, 120 × 60 cm, white” says more than “Amazing bargain!!!”. Include only facts about this item. Do not add unrelated brands, cities or repeated keywords to attract searches that the listing cannot satisfy.
Follow a reusable description order
Start with what is for sale and why you are selling it if you wish to share that. Then state dimensions or specification, actual condition, known faults and repairs, included items and collection arrangements. Distinguish tested functions from untested ones. If a fact is unknown, say so instead of borrowing a specification from a similar product.
Check consistency before publishing
Compare title, price, category, location and photographs with the description. Use the correct currency and say whether the price covers one item or the whole bundle. Keep personal account details and private documents out of the text. Read the listing as a first-time buyer and answer the obvious missing questions before publishing.
Your viewing checklist
- Title identifies the real item.
- Condition, faults and included parts are explicit.
- Price, photos and description agree.
