Two sellers can offer the same phone in the same area, and one gets ten messages while the other gets none. The difference is almost always the listing. Here is how to write one that gets found, gets trusted and gets enquiries on FeelyFeely.
Pick the right listing type
Start at feelyfeely.com/listing/post and choose what you are selling: an item for sale, rent or free; a mobile phone or tablet; a vehicle or motorbike; a home, land or property; or a place, business or service. Each type asks for the details buyers in that category search by, so choosing correctly puts you in front of the right people.
Write a title buyers would type
Think like a buyer searching. Lead with the brand, model and the one or two details that matter most.
- Weak: “Phone for sale, very neat”
- Strong: “Samsung Galaxy A54, 128GB, black, UK used”
Keep the extra adjectives for the description.
Photos do most of the selling
- Shoot in daylight, near a window or outdoors, never under a single yellow bulb.
- Use a plain background so the item stands out.
- Show every side, close-ups of any marks, and the item switched on if it has a screen.
- Use your own photos. Pictures copied from the internet are easy to spot and make buyers doubt the whole listing.
Describe it honestly
Cover condition, age, what is included in the box and any faults or repairs. Being upfront about a scratch costs you less than a buyer who walks away at the meeting point. Fill in the optional details too; they power the filters buyers use, so a listing with complete details shows up in more searches.
Set your price with confidence
You can show an exact price, a starting price, a range or “price on request”, and you can mark the price as negotiable or allow buyers to make offers above a minimum you set.
For many phones, electronics, vehicles and homes, FeelyFeely’s price check shows how your asking price compares with similar listings, from “Priced to sell” to “Priced high”, along with the typical range for comparable items. It is a guide, not a rule, but it helps you avoid pricing yourself out of the market or leaving money on the table.
Put it on the map
Drop the location pin where the buyer can collect or view the item. Accurate locations bring enquiries from people who can actually reach you, and they help buyers searching nearby find you first.
Finish with verification
The last step lets you upload documents that prove the item is genuine. Verified listings carry a shield badge that buyers notice in search results. Our guide to verification explains what to upload.
