Step 1

Photograph well

Use natural light, neutral backgrounds, and capture every angle. Listings with 8+ photos sell 38% faster on average.

Step 2

Write honest descriptions

Detail condition, included accessories, provenance and any flaws. Buyers reward transparency with stronger bids.

Step 3

Use AI pricing suggestions

Our model surfaces a fair starting bid range based on the last 30 days of comparable sales — usually within 5% of final price.

Step 4

Ship with insurance

All shipments over $1,000 require signature + insurance. Use our partner labels for discounted, fully tracked rates.

Step 5

Earn the verified badge

Hit 30 days, 10 sales, and a 4.8+ rating to unlock the verified seller badge — and reduced fees of 6.5%.
