How to sell on Preloved
Choose the right category
Preloved has over 200 categories across everything from Bathrooms to Vacuums to Goats and Motorcycles, so it’s important to make sure you’re choosing the right category so people can find your advert easily!
Search for what your item is and we’ll suggest the category we think is best, or select it from our list.

Take the best photos possible
Adverts with a photo have a better response rate and are more likely to sell quickly. Using really great photos gives your advert the best possible chance of being sold. Plus, it gives you the chance for it to be featured on the Preloved homepage or social channels.
Clear the background of any clutter so it’s just the item your selling (if possible) or other decorations to make it look pretty.
Try to take the photo in daylight or with the best possible lighting to show it off the best possible.
Take photos from as many angles as possible to show every part of what you’re selling
Plus, don’t forget to upload your photo the right way up! If you have problems, you can fix your rotation in your “My Adverts”

Post it everywhere
One of the best ways to get your advert sold quickly is to share it far and wide!
Post it on all your social media channels as you never know which of your friends, or friends’ friends are looking for what you’re selling!
Plus, if the picture looks great, we might help you out and share it too if you tag us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram!
