Introduction
Even experienced buyers and sellers can make mistakes. In this article, we highlight 10 common mistakes and show how to avoid them.
1. Incomplete description
Don't leave out important information. Size, color, material, age and condition are critical to buyers.
2. Bad photos
Pictures that are dim, blurry, or taken from only one angle will not do the item justice. Invest time in taking good photos.
3. Too high starting price
Overpriced items stay on sale for a long time. Research the market and set a realistic price.
4. Not answering questions
Not answering buyers' questions comes across as unprofessional. Answer quickly and politely.
5. Ignorance of fraud
Learn about common scam languages. Don't fall for dubious offers.
6. Sharing of personal data
Never share your personal information, bank card details or passwords.
7. Non-compliance with agreements
If you promised to meet or send the goods at a certain time, keep your word.
8. Failure to specify return conditions
Before the transaction, agree whether and under what conditions it is possible to return the goods.
9. Delay in payment
If you buy an item, pay at the agreed time. The seller is waiting for money to be able to send the goods.
10. Leaving Feedback
Give honest feedback to other users. This helps keep the community trustworthy.
