First time selling in a marketplace, or first time selling on Quibly? This article pulls together the most important things to know as you get started.
Review your listing details
Quibly generates your listing details from your photos, but always review before you publish. Make sure everything accurately reflects what you’re selling, as inaccurate listings often cause return requests.
Make sure your items are allowed on Quibly
Not everything can be listed on the platform. Check this article before listing anything you’re unsure about: What can I sell on Quibly?
Set up your Stripe account
Your item can only go live after you've connected a Stripe account. It's fast to set up and your financial details are handled securely by Stripe. See Setting up your Stripe account for more details.
Customise your shop
Your shop page is the first thing buyers see when they visit your profile. Add an icon, a banner, a description and a few details to make it your own. A complete shop builds trust and can make buyers more likely to purchase. See Editing your shop details for a step-by-step guide.
Take better photos, sell faster
Great photos make a real difference to how quickly items sell. Here are some tips: Taking great photos: tips for better results
Offer to cover shipping
Listings with free shipping tend to attract more buyers. You can offer to cover the shipping cost by turning on the toggle during the listing process.
Offer collection
As well as shipping, you can offer local collection as a fulfilment option. It's a good way to appeal to nearby buyers and avoid postage costs. Find out more here: Collection process: Seller’s guide
Photograph items before you ship
Once your item sells, take a few photos while packing it up. If a return request comes in later, having those photos to hand makes everything much easier.
