Your first listing on Reusers can take just a few minutes. Whether you are selling a phone, renting out a generator or donating baby clothes, a clear listing helps the right person find your item quickly. Here is how to do it well.

Step 1: Choose sell, rent or donate

Start by deciding what you want to do with the item. Sell it for cash, rent it out to earn while keeping it, or donate it to someone who needs it. Not sure? Read our guide to choosing between buying, selling, renting and donating on Reusers.

Step 2: Pick the right category

Choose the category that best fits your item: vehicles, gadgets, home appliances, furniture, fashion or baby essentials. People browse Reusers by category, so the right one puts your listing in front of the right people.

Step 3: Take clear photos

Good photos make the biggest difference.

• Shoot in daylight, near a window or outdoors.
• Use a plain, tidy background.
• Show the item from several angles.
• For gadgets and appliances, show the item switched on and working.

Step 4: Write a clear title

Your title should say what the item is, the brand and the condition. For example:

• “iPhone 12, 128GB, UK-Used, Excellent Condition”
• “3-Seater Fabric Sofa, Neatly Used”
• “Baby Stroller for Rent, Weekly or Monthly”

Step 5: Write an honest description

Answer the questions people will ask before they ask them: model or size, age, how long you used it, why you are selling or renting it out, any faults, and what is included. Honest descriptions build trust and save you time.

Step 6: Set your price or terms

• Selling: Check similar listings on Reusers to set a fair price, leaving a little room for negotiation.
• Renting out: State your rate (per day, week or month), any deposit, and the condition you expect it returned in.
• Donating: Explain pickup arrangements and any timing.

Step 7: Add your location

Add your general area so nearby people can find your listing. You do not need to share your exact address in the listing itself.

Step 8: Publish and manage interest

Once your listing is live, you can see and manage everyone who shows interest inside the Reusers app. Reply promptly, answer questions, and agree on inspection and pickup with the person you choose.
