Selling TIps

1. Write titles that people actually search for

Here’s the thing. Nobody searches for “Good condition phone.”
They search for:
“iPhone 12 128GB unlocked black”

Good title formula:
Product + brand + key detail + condition
Example:
✅ Honda Civic 2016 low mileage
❌ Car for sale cheap

Clear beats clever every time.

2. Photos sell more than words

Listings with real photos get way more clicks. Period.

Tell sellers to:

1. Use natural light

2. Take photos from multiple angles
3. Show any flaws honestly
4. Avoid blurry or dark images
5. Clean the item before photographing

What this really means is simple. People trust what they can see.

3. Price it to move

Overpriced items just sit there.
Encourage sellers to check similar listings on wbols.com before posting.

A simple rule:

1. Want it gone fast? Price slightly below the average.
2. Want max money? Expect to wait longer.

Also, round numbers look better:
Rs 4,800 feels more honest than Rs 4,987.

4. Write a short, useful description

Nobody wants to read a wall of text. But nobody trusts a one-line listing either.

A good description answers:

1. What is it?

2. How old is it?
3. Why are you selling?
4. Any issues or damage?
5. What’s included?

Example:
Selling my Samsung Galaxy S21, used for 1 year. Battery still strong. No cracks, minor scratches on the back. Comes with charger and box.

That’s enough to build trust.

5. Respond fast or lose the buyer

Most buyers message multiple sellers.
The first one to reply usually wins.

Tip to share:
Turn on notifications and reply within minutes when possible. Even a quick “Yes, it’s available” keeps the conversation alive.

6. Be honest about condition

Honesty saves time for everyone.

If something is damaged, say it.
If it’s refurbished, mention it.
If the price is firm, be upfront.

Buyers hate surprises. Sellers who are transparent get better reviews and more repeat buyers.

7. Post in the right category

Misplaced listings get ignored.

If it’s a car, post in Vehicles.
If it’s a phone, post in Electronics.

This sounds obvious, but it’s a big reason some ads get zero views.

8. Refresh or update old listings

If your platform allows bumping or editing ads, tell sellers to update photos or tweak titles after a few days. Fresh listings get more visibility.

Even changing the main photo can revive interest.

9. Add location clearly

Buyers want to know how far they need to travel.

A clear location:
“Available in Lahore, Gulberg area”
beats
“Pickup only”

Location clarity increases serious inquiries.

10. Stay safe with meetups and payments

If wbols.com allows in-person deals, recommend:

1. Meet in public places

2. Avoid sharing personal details
3. Use cash or trusted payment methods
4. Trust your instincts

A smooth transaction matters as much as making the sale.
