Whether you’re cleaning out your garage or looking for your next deal, speed matters. Here’s how to save time and get results fast:

✅ For Sellers: How to Sell Fast

  1. Post During Peak Times
    🕒 List your items during high-traffic periods (early morning, lunch, or early evening).
  2. Use a Clear, Keyword-Rich Title
    🔍 Example: “iPhone 13 Pro Max 256GB – Like New – Cape Town” helps people find your ad faster.
  3. Upload High-Quality Images
    📷 Bright, clean, multiple-angle photos build trust and increase engagement.
  4. Write a Straightforward Description
    📝 Include condition, specifications, and your reason for selling. Be honest and detailed.
  5. Set a Fair Price
    💰 Check similar listings to stay competitive. Offer a slight discount for a quick sale.
  6. Promote Your Ad (Optional)
    🚀 Use the “Feature” or “Boost” options to stay on top of search results.
  7. Respond Fast & Be Ready
    📱 Enable notifications and reply quickly to interested buyers. Be ready to meet or ship immediately.

🔍 For Buyers: How to Buy Smart & Fast

  1. Use Filters to Narrow Results
    🧭 Filter by location, price range, and category to find what you want faster.
  2. Search with Specific Keywords
    🗝️ For example: “Toyota Corolla 2018 Johannesburg” instead of just “Toyota”.
  3. Contact Multiple Sellers
    💬 Don’t wait on one seller—message a few to improve your chances.
  4. Negotiate Respectfully
    🤝 Be polite and fair. If a seller likes you, they may offer a better deal.
  5. Meet in Safe Places
    🛡️ Always meet in public, well-lit areas—preferably during the day.
  6. Inspect Before Paying
    🔍 Check the item thoroughly before making payment or agreeing to a deal.
