Help: Creating your ad

Create a great ad to attract buyers

Putting time and effort into creating a great ad will help you sell your item. Buyers are not only more likely to find your ad, but are more interested in buying items from ads that look good and sound great.

Take the time to write down all the features and benefits of your item and shoot good-quality photos of your item – pictures always give more information than words!!

Remember, the more a buyer knows about your item, the more interested they may be in purchasing it.
