Selling items on Marketplace is a rising trend. People are looking at different alternatives to buying products online. Although challenging at times, marketplace is making it easy for consumers to find items they’ve also wanted from the comfort of their homes and fingertips.

So, where do you begin and what items can you sell?

Anyone can sell their items on marketplace from brick-and-mortar stores such as Cash Converters to entrepreneurs- all you need is an online page. You can sell gadgets, tech, jewellery, kitchenware and more. Marketplace deals with local sales meaning you don’t have to incur any shipping costs.

Here are a few factors to consider when selling items on marketplace:

Best selling items

Before you sell your pre-loved item, research the most in-demand items. What are consumers willing to buy online and at what price are they willing to purchase the item?

Who is your competition?

Whether you’re selling your pre-loved jewellery, tech or furniture, you need to remember that you are competing with other online sellers. You will need to optimise your listing so that it stands out from the rest. This means taking great pictures and writing keyword-rich descriptions.

Communication between you and the online buyer

To increase the chances of making a sale, we recommend that you respond to the interested buyer as soon as possible. Remain polite and professional at all times and be prepared to negotiate.

Handling the sale

As mentioned in our “How to sell your laptop” blog, you need to be cautious when concluding the sale. Are you meeting the buyer in a crowded and neutral place? Are you accepting full payment or 50% upfront and 50% before? As an online seller, you want to sell your items in the safest, most convenient, and quickest way.
