Our 5 Basic Steps to Selling will take you through opening a sellers account, preparing your item for sale, listing your item, pricing, payment & postage and managing your sales.
 |
To begin selling on IWAC you will need to register for an account. To open an account click on the Sell link on the top of every IWAC page and then select the Register for Account link.
To ensure that we continue to make IWAC a safe place to buy and sell, we ask you to verify your account through any of the direct payment methods accepted. This is for verification purposes only. |
 |
Preparation is key! Make sure you do your research and be realistic.
To get an idea of what to expect to sell your item for and to find out how other sellers have sold similar items, check our IWAC's Completed Items search. You can gain great insight into how to write a successful listing in order to get the best price possible. |

You're now ready to submit your listing to IWAC. The easy to follow Sell Your Item Form guides you through the steps to a successful item listing.

Decide what format you want to sell in, 'Bartar style' or at a fixed price with Buy It Now
Write a descriptive title using all relevant keywords. Imagine you are the buyer - what information would they type in to find your item? Your description needs to provide buyers with all the information they need. Include information such as brand, age, condition etc and be honest - don't withhold information that may be an issue later.
Decide the duration of your listing. You can list items from 7,10,14,21,30 days. Many sellers list items for 30 days and include a weekend end time to capture weekend shoppers.
A picture tells a thousand words so always include a picture of your item. Buyers like to see what they are buying. |
Pricing: Make sure you price your item accordingly. Use the Completed Items search to get an idea of what this item has sold for in the past.
|
Payments: you choose how you would like to accept payment e.g. cheque, credit card, money order. Buyers want a safe and easy way to pay so consider accepting an online payment system such as PayPal, Nochex and Google Checkout. It's free for buyers and will speed up the payment of your item.
Postage: Make sure you include all postage and packaging cost in the listing - buyers want to know exactly what they will be paying for your item. If you are willing to ship internationally, make sure you include all of the relevant international postage costs. |
 |
Use My IWAC to track all your activity, especially useful if you have more than one item for sale or if you are both selling and buying several items.
Once the listing ends, it's time to collect payment from the buyer and send item. Simply contact the buyer to arrange payment and delivery details.
Remember to only post the item once you have received payment.
Once the sale is complete, leave feedback for your buyer and encourage them to do the same for you. |
