3. Selling an item
It is time to sell!!
Register one item at a time, unless you are selling things in a bundle or group.
So, take that first item, and let’s get going!
• Log in, go to your shop, and click on the big green “Add New Product” button.
• Add the product to your shop by filling in all the details in the various boxes. Click on the information buttons (grey question marks 👉 ?) for help on how to fill in each section, or pick from the various tutorials on offer.
• Type the exact name of the product and be honest about the condition of the item.
• Don’t forget the ‘Product Overview’ to write any helpful extra information: where you bought it, how old it is or anything wrong or broken with it. The more information you give, the better your chances of getting a happy buyer!
• You can also write here that you are looking to swap for another item. This might suit you if you have trading cards or collector models.
• Remember to check your spelling and punctuation.
• Upload your photos. We recommend at least 3.
• Think about your options for delivery and payment. Delivery by post, local collection or you can offer both options. Note that swapping items is only possible for local collection.
• If you can’t finish your listing and want to come back to it again before publishing, click ‘Save as Draft’.
• If you have checked your listing, and are happy with it, click ‘Save and Publish’.
• Your parent or guardian in charge of your account might now be asked to approve the listing before it is published on Tradem. You will be notified when they approve.
Now all you have to do is wait for your first customer. How exciting!
