5 Tips for Selling Items Online

1. Post a clear description with details important for viewers and photos to support your belonging. Give the customer all the details they need to make their decision simple.
2. When selling name brand items, take a photo of the inside tags to show authenticity.
3. If there are rips in clothing, or furniture is broken and needs repaired, put those details in the description.
4. Be professional! Selling websites ask for reviews from both customers and online sellers.
5. Avoid posting alcohol related items, since this alerts customer service and many times the post will be taken down.
