We do not know what we have ... until we start up to Wallapop.Yes, that application in which you can find almost everything (and without almost).The platform has positioned itself as one of the leaders in the sale of second -hand products.

Therefore, if you decide to take the step and open a profile in Wallapopcomo Seller, it is important that you know it: the competition is brutal.And if you are one of those who buy, you must keep in mind that not everything is worth.Here are some tips to function with dignity in this online trail in which only the best survive.

1. Everything can be sold (and buy)

SELLER.The number one rule: everything is likely to be sold in Wallapop.If all.From that shirt that you bought 15 years ago to that vase from which you encaled in a trip because it seemed like it would look very good in the living room.But, as in everything, there is a ranking of key objects.

Now in summer the air conditioners and fans, the awnings, the campaign stores, the barbecues, the bikes, the plants, the garden furniture, the clothes and the wedding accessories and, of course, the technology.A classic that sells well all year: mobiles, tablets, even that console that you have in a drawer and that became fashionable years ago.And do not give up for size.A sofa?Safe success.

BUYER.Wallapop is an application designed for you to find products you are looking for, but if you prefer to explore without more you have options to filter by categories, price, location, publication date ... there is also a section of novelties and objects that it is urgent to sell.It is a fairly intuitive application, so beyond any advice, it is best to spend some time investigating and seeing their possibilities, which are not few.

2. Photos: the more, the better

SELLER.It is the only image that the possible buyer will have, so the photos have to be well made.Try that the light is adequate and the product looks good.The more the better, but eye: it is not worth all the same, it takes the object from different perspectives and make each contribution some information.Focus well, place the product in the center and prevent a lot of noise around.

For example, if you are going to sell a console, you don't have to take the furniture where it is placed.And whatever they are, do not hide any defect, transparency is important;If there are better damage to be sincere from the beginning.

BUYER.Look closely, as well as the description of the product. It may be more if you think it is necessary and distrust those generic ones that are not real and have been taken from image banks or the official page of the brand.

3. title without spelling and keywords

SELLER.The title matters as much as the photo, or more.It must be short and have keywords.Try not to commit spelling fouls.Add important information for the user such as size if it is some clothes or brand.Basically, put the same thing you would look for in Wallapop to find what you want to sell.

The seeker also the text that accompanies the image.Important that it is descriptive and contribute utility information, specify all details such as the guarantee, your condition, if it is little or very used, whether or not it gives size ... and, once again, also add here any failure or damage that you have, transparency above all: you will avoid bad grades.

BUYER.Ask, ask, ask and never get tired of asking.Especially if what you are going to buy requires a great economic disbursement, as can happen with certain technological products.Do not entertain any doubt.

4. Control the price ... and to your competition

SELLER.The price is a somewhat delicate factor for this second hand.You may be selling your first tablet, that your parents gave you and with which you have seen thousands of series and movies;It may give you some penalty to get rid of that blue sweater that is no longer worth but with which you have lived great moments ...

It is understandable, but not for the buyer.The user will compare prices and stay with the most economical, so forget to apply the sentimental value in your final figure.

Yes, you can inflate the price a bit, especially since we all know that in these platforms the dribbles prevails, but you do not pass either.If you know the original add it to compare.

BUYER.Look for the same product in different profiles and compares a price, article status, seller's opinions ... It is always better to give it a couple of turns and think well than to buy the first thing that appears in the search engine.And dribble.For trying ... not.

5. Better with its original 'packaging

SELLER.If you are going to sell some technology, such as a mobile, you will be more successful if you include things like the original box, the loader ... you can even afford to ask for more money than the competition for those details.Something that also applies to the rest of the articles.

So you know, if you were born for this second -hand sale, keep everything when you buy something.The ticket, the box, the accessories ... who knows if one day will end in Wallapop.

BUYER.If, for example, it is a technological product still in guarantee, do not hesitate to request the necessary documents, as well as the original box or accessories.

6. Ask for qualifications

SELLER.The first thing users will do when deciding whether or not to buy the opinions you have and if your previous clients have been satisfied or not.So don't have repairs when asking for a qualification.If they are good you will gain points for the user.

BUYER.Do not hesitate: read the seller's assessments.So you will know if you have committed some fraud, if you deliver your products well and if you do not lie in your descriptions.

7. Do not pass from the chat

SELLER.It seems an obvious advice, but not everyone does it well.The chat offered by Wallapop is to solve doubts and as a seller it is important that you are aware of the questions that users cast you.He will demonstrate that you are a serious and committed person willing to solve any questions without obligation.Be kind.And be careful, once again, with spelling offenses.

BUYER.Do not stop solving any questions through the chat offered by Wallapop.Do not buy anything without having all the information you consider essential.It is the main thing you should keep in mind if you are going to buy something in the app.Flee from those who do not answer the chat or do not want to give you certain information about the product.Also distrust if the price is too low.

8. The real location is not always the best

Seller. I intend to locate where more people can see your products.If you live in a small town and away from everything, choose a larger city in which to locate your profile and to which you can move without problems if you should make a delivery in hand.You will not lose possible buyers, you will get more people to see your ads and win potential buyers.

BUYER.One of the filters that Wallapop includes when looking for products is that of location.If you are one of those who prefer face -to -face contact, nothing better than accessing articles in your area to complete the transaction in person, without more complications.

9. It was time to pay ...

Most of these sale platforms include safe payment systems.Wallapop has been working with Walopay for a long time.Through it you can pay your purchases and receive them at home (buyer) and receive payments, if you are a seller.

In addition, this system controls that there are no scams and it is even possible to recover money in case of deception.If you send the product by a parcel service, it is best to pay so and try to avoid methods such as bank transfer, at least without seeing the product before.

And how it works?You just have to access the chat section and talk to the seller or directly send an offer through the Send it option.The seller has 24 hours to approve or reject the offer.

And be careful, because this offer is binding: only the seller can reject it.If you do, you can make a new one and, if you accept it, Wallapop will come into play and ask your data for the shipment and numbering of your card to charge.How could it be otherwise, you will also have to pay a commission for the service and shipping costs to the seller, a charge that varies according to the price and size of the item.
