Check your item before listing it
Make sure your items are clean
In general, all items that you put on sale should be clean. We recommend washing or disinfecting them in a way suitable to the item’s material. Kitchen items can’t be sold with mould or food remains.
Any spots, defects, or similar flaws that don’t wash off must be included in the listing’s description and photos. Please be aware that if they’re not noted, we may have to cancel the order.
Make sure your electronics are safe to use
Make sure everything is included
ImportantWhenever you upload an item, it might go through an automated check to make sure it follows our guidelines for selling. Normally, it takes up to 1 minute but, in some cases, can take up to 1 or 2 days.
If you buy a Bump for this item, don’t worry. That order won’t be processed, and you won’t be charged. You can bump your item again once the check is complete and your item is published.
