Selling

To sell your advertised items as quickly as possible, the following tips will help to attract potential buyers and make your ad stand out. When placing an ad on a2ztrader.ie, remember to…

 

Make it relevant

 

Place your ad under the category that best describes your item or service. If you believe there is an item category we are missing, please let us know and help us to provide a better service for you.

 

Make the most of your item title

 

Make the headline descriptive and enticing to capture attention. And try to include keywords that potential buyers will search for, such as the brand, or any specific features of the item. It may help to imagine you are the buyer. The title is crucial to influencing the buyer’s first impression, so make it clear and desirable and remember to check your spelling.


Examples of well-formed headlines:
- Sony Ericsson W810 with camera and MP3 player
- VOLVO V70 2.5 T Kinetic in great condition
- Diesel jeans women’s dark blue size 28
- King Furniture modular couch, leather, black, excellent condition

 

Include photos

 

A picture says a thousand words. So that means several pictures will do much of the talking for you. Use clear, well-lit photos from multiple angles to accurately showcase your item. Good lighting using natural or artificial light is often better than a camera flash. An uncluttered background will make your item look even more appealing. Include additional photos that highlight specific detail and unique features that make your item special.

 

Portray your item in detail

 

A convincing ad is always succinct, well organised and easy to read. Specify the item’s unique features, condition, brand, style / type / model, size, age, colour, and any other attributes worth mentioning. Remember the more information you provide, the less email queries you receive. Use the provided fields to enter information such as price, year and mileage. Check the information you have entered is accurate and correct - your selling success depends on honesty.
