Create a great listing

Our top five ways to get your listing sold.

  • Write a relevant title

    We'll recommend keywords buyers use when searching to help your listing stand out. Avoid all caps and focus on specifics like brand, model, size, and colour.

  • Take high-quality photos

    Our app can clean up your image and add a white background. Choose a well-lit place, take photos from various angles, and capture any blemishes for transparency.

  • Choose a buying format

    We'll make a recommendation, but if you'd prefer to let someone buy your item immediately, choose Buy It Now. If you're selling a collectible, or want buyers to compete, choose Auction.

  • Set the right price

    We'll recommend a price based on recent sales of similar items. If you’d rather decide for yourself, think like a buyer and see how other sellers price their items. Best Offer lets buyers know you're open to negotiating.

  • Ship with ease

    We provide a custom recommendation for the best shipping service and packaging option. You’ll get a discounted rate on postage by using eBay shipping labels. To sell locally, offer local pickup.
