Selling Online Tips

We’ve all had that moment in our lives when we look around the house and come to the conclusion, "I need to get rid of some of this."

The great news in 2024 is that there are more places than ever to list your items for sale and earn some money back! We’re here to support social sellers, so if you’re late to the party (or just want to hear some extra tips), check out our top tips for selling online:

1. Do your research before listing your item: Rarer items will always fetch a higher price. That said, even if you’re selling something more commonplace, check it against similar items to see what price range gets the most interest.
2. Be upfront about the item you’re selling: People who buy stuff online appreciate transparency. On the flip side of that, if you don’t give up many details, they may think you’ve got something to hide. Is the item slightly damaged? Are there signs of wear and tear? Be honest or risk the headache of dealing with returns and refunds.
3. Take plenty of great pictures of the item: The more pictures, the better.
4. Always check your spelling: Misspelt items will always sell for less as they will not get visibility in searches. (With that said, if you're looking to buy, always check for common misspellings to see if you can grab a bargain.)
5. Always check your posting/auction end times: Ideally, you want an item to end on either a Saturday or Sunday during the day. People often browse online auction sites when they’re bored on the weekend, so they’re more likely to see your auction ending and try to grab a quick bargain.
6. Set up a VibePay account: Using VibePay means you’ll get to keep all the money you’ve earned, and payment is instant. Your bank details remain private as well!

So there we have it, just in time for your spring clean! Let's clear that clutter and earn some side-hustle funds just in time for summer!
