Selling and listingsFor sellers

A buyer wrote to you

New messages from buyers arrive in your messages with an alert. With Premium you read and answer them; on the free plan you see that someone wrote.

When a buyer contacts you, his message lands in your messages. You get an alert, and your home shows how many buyers are waiting for an answer.

With Premium

  1. Open your messages.
  2. Open the conversation.
  3. Read what he would like and answer. Agree on the total, the payment and the shipping there.

On the free plan

You see that a buyer wrote, not what he wrote. The message is marked as hidden, with a note that Premium lets you read it. Your listings stay live either way.

Answer quickly

  • Buyers often write to several sellers. The first clear answer usually gets the order.
  • Name the total with shipping in your first reply, if you can.
  • Say how and when you ship, so the buyer does not have to ask.

Good to know

  • You can send a listing into a conversation, so the buyer sees exactly which item you mean.
  • A buyer who bothers you can be reported and blocked from the conversation.
