How can I make my listing look better?

February 10th, 2012 :: dane

The best way to improve your listing and make it more attractive for potential buyers is to follow these 3 easy steps


1. Clear & Concise Item Titles – Informative concise item titles makes it easy for potential buyers to know exactly what you’re trying to sell and more likely to click on your item. Include the most important details of the product (e.g. – Brand, Size, Year etc). If you are offering free shipping, be sure to include it in the Item Title.


2. Take Great Photos – Pictures are the most important part of your listing. Invest time to take great pictures and it will pay off! Here are a few tips:

  • Use a neutral or plain background
  • Have good lighting and avoid shadows
  • Make sure your photos are focused for clear images of your product
  • Include more photos to highlight details of your item

Better photos lead to a better experience and potentially more sales on Yardsellr!




3. Write Accurate & Thorough Descriptions – A good item description includes a concise overview of the product and what the buyer should expect from you as a seller.

A best practice of successful sellers is to use bullet points to describe the characteristics of the product (e.g. – Size, Quantity, Model, Color). You should also include your Yardsale policies (Do you accept Refunds?; How long it takes you to ship). The more information you provide a potential buyer, the less risk of issues after the transaction. Don’t be afraid to be creative in how you market your product.
