Selling a second-hand item checklist
Prepare an honest second-hand listing: inspect the item, take useful photos, describe defects and organise payment and handover.

PREPARE THE ITEM
- Check the platform accepts the item you want to sell
- Check the item for visible wear and damage
- Test the functions you can safely check
- Clean the item using a suitable method
- Gather the accessories included in the sale
- Measure the dimensions relevant to the buyer

BUILD THE LISTING
- Take a clear overall photo of the actual item
- Photograph each visible defect
- Photograph useful details and included accessories
- Write a title identifying the item and model
- Describe the condition and any untested functions
- State exactly what is included in the sale

ARRANGE THE SALE
- Set an asking price after checking comparable items
- Choose collection or a suitable shipping option
- Check parcel weight and dimensions before quoting shipping
- Keep payment and messages within the platform’s recommended process
- Confirm payment through your own account before handing over the item
- Mark the listing as sold after the handover
