Tips When Selling
How to get the best experience when you offer up your products or services on barter.
Upload photos you’ve personally taken.
Make sure the photos and words you use are kind to others and they do not exploit others by showing inappropriate parts of the body or talking about sexually inappropriate acts or parts of the body, especially pertaining to children and minors. Images or words showing or talking about drug use are not appropriate.
Write clear and accurate product descriptions in simple English.
If it’s a product you are selling, make sure your item is clean before passing it on. Yuck. You’d think this was self-explanatory but hey….
If you agree to sell an item to another member, try to deactivate or archive your offer/listing quickly, unless of course you have multiple items and have more to sell.
Even if you get more inquiries to buy an item, sell the item to the buyer who was the first to reserve it. It’s all about the Golden Rule - you would appreciate it if someone did it for you, right?
Keep the pricing on your products and services fair. No silly price-gouging and other frustrating antics. Remember, you want a fair deal and good pricing when you buy! Again, it all goes back to the ‘Golden Rule’ your grandma drilled into you.
Be quick to respond to inquiries and questions. Your ratings and reviews are very important. People will pay attention to then when they are deciding whether to barter with you or not, for obvious reasons!
So here’s some healthy, kind, adult things to do!
Respect each other. If you’re nice to someone, they’ll most likely be nice to you.
Be kind and courteous. Treat others how you would like to be treated. The ‘Golden Rule’....
Be responsive. If you're not interested in bartering anymore, let the other person know.
Be punctual. If you set up a time to meet with someone, make sure to be on time.
Keep the other person updated. Think you’re going to be a little late or something’s come up? Let them know.
Chat with other members during the day and avoid messaging late at night or early in the morning. No 10pm texting!
Try to meet up in person instead of relying on delivery. Why? This one is important for meeting people face-to-face and finding your peeps in your own towns and cities! Make it a big deal!
