How to post an ad

Replace with a real screenshot of the posting form.

The steps

Writing a title that gets clicks

Your title is what people see in search results. Include the specifics a buyer would type.

Brand, model, year, key spec, and location. Skip the capital letters and rows of exclamation marks — they do not help, and they make a listing look like spam.

Photos

Photos matter more than anything else you write.

• Use daylight. Avoid flash.
• Take several angles, including any damage — buyers trust a listing that shows a scratch far more than one that hides it.
• Put the clearest photo first. It becomes your thumbnail.
• Do not use catalogue or stock images. Buyers assume you do not have the item.
• Clean the item first. It takes two minutes and changes the price.

Description

Answer the questions you would otherwise get asked ten times:

• How old is it, and how much has it been used?
• What condition is it in, honestly?
• What is included — charger, box, spare parts, service history?
• Why are you selling?
• Where can it be collected from, and is delivery possible?

Write in plain sentences. A short honest description outperforms a long promotional one.

Pricing

Search Seller.ae for similar items before you decide. Price near the middle of comparable listings unless yours is genuinely better or worse. Round numbers invite negotiation; if your price is firm, say so.

Getting more responses

• Reply quickly. Most buyers contact several sellers and buy from whoever answers first.
• Keep it live. Renew the listing if it goes stale.
• Consider a premium listing in a busy category, so your ad sits above standard results.
• One item, one listing. Posting the same thing several times gets all copies removed.
