When posting items, you’ll always need to include a title, price, and location, though you’ll have the option to include more details. The more information you provide, the more likely it is you’ll sell your item quickly.
Help buyers find your items by adding a detailed description, category, and the ability to ship.
Getting started
1. Open Sellwild.com and click Sell. Then click Get Started.
2. Click the circular button in the center of your mobile screen to Take a Photo your item or click the Add Images to choose a photo from your gallery.
Choose a cover photo that shows the whole item by itself.
Add at least 3 photos (maximum of 8). Items with more photos usually sell faster.
If your item shows any signs of damage or wear, include that in the photos—transparency helps build a trusting community and can prevent issues with the buyer later.
For more helpful hints on taking a successful cover photo, take a look at our Cover photo tips article.
3. Enter a detailed Title.
Include the name, brand, year, or size of your item (as applicable).
Double-check your spelling. If people can’t search for it, they may not be able to find it.
4. Add a description.
We highly recommend adding a detailed description of your item. Listings without descriptions have lower buyer interest.
You can include information such as product specifications, size, dimensions, color, etc.
For cars, consider adding year, make, model, mileage, etc.
Add more details
You now have the option to add more details about your item. While there are only 3 required fields (Category, Condition, and Price), we highly recommend filling out as many fields as possible. This makes it easier for buyers to find your products quickly and can increase buyer interest.
1. Select the most appropriate Category for your item or pick a category that matches as closely as possible.
For example, if you’re selling a hammer, make sure it’s in Tools, not in Clothing & Shoes.
2. Select a Sub-category.
3. Set the item’s Condition.
The default condition is set to New and will need to be adjusted as you see fit.
4. Fill in additional details.
5. Set your Price.
Try setting a price that’s the same or less than what similar items are selling for online. (For shippable items, the minimum listing price is $5 and the maximum listing price is $10,000.)
Choose the delivery method
1. Set the item’s Location (required).
Buyers will only see the approximate location of the item, they won’t be able to see your exact location.
2. Choose if you want to meet up in person for a Local Delivery or Sell & ship nationwide.
Shipping it? You can toggle the Shippable option.
If you choose shipping, the buyer will pay for shipping, in addition to the price you set for the product.
3. Choose your package size.
Make sure to select the correct size to avoid issues with shipping or additional fees for selecting the wrong size.
5. Tap Save Listing — and you're done! Check the app for messages from interested buyers.

To locate your item faster, choose the same keywords that you used in the listing’s title or description. If you’ve just posted or edited the listing, it can take a little while for it to show up again in search results.
