Selling Tips

      • Price your item competitively. Do some research to see what other similar items are selling for in your area. If you price your item too high, you are less likely to receive offers. If you price your item too low, you may not get the best possible price.
      • Write a clear and concise ad. Include all of the important information about your item, such as the condition, the price, and the location. Be sure to include high-quality photos of your item.
      • Promote your ad. Share your ad on social media, and post it on other classified ad websites. You can also try using paid advertising to reach a wider audience.
      • Be responsive to inquiries. When potential buyers contact you, be sure to respond promptly and answer their questions thoroughly.
      • Be willing to negotiate. Most buyers expect to be able to negotiate on the price of a classified ad item. Don’t be afraid to negotiate, but be firm about your bottom line.

    Here are some additional tips:

    • Make sure your ad is easy to find. Use clear and relevant keywords in your title and description.
    • Be honest and upfront about the condition of your item. Don’t try to hide any flaws or defects.
    • Be flexible with your payment options. Offer to accept multiple forms of payment, such as cash, Telebirr, and offline bank transfer.
    • Consider offering discounts for bulk purchases or for buyers who pick up the item in person.
    • Be patient. It may take some time to sell your item, especially if you are selling a high-priced item. 

    Here are some things to avoid:

      • Don’t use all caps or excessive punctuation in your ad. This can make your ad look spammy and unprofessional.
      • Don’t make false or misleading claims about your item. This could lead to problems with the buyer down the road.
      • Don’t ask for personal information from potential buyers until you are sure that you are going to sell them the item. This includes their address, phone number, and Social Security number.
      • Don’t agree to ship the item to a buyer before you have received payment. There are many scammers who will try to get you to ship them the item without paying for it.

      By following these tips, you can increase your chances of selling your item quickly and for a good price.
