Opening your own online store is troublesome and costly. If selling something is not your main activity, you can use ready-made marketplaces on the Internet.
Instructions
Step 1
If you are selling a one-off item, use the online auction. The largest company providing such services in Eastern Europe is the Polish Allegro. On the territory of the Russian Federation, it operates under the name "Hammer", and on the territory of Ukraine - "Aukro". The auction site Au. Tut. By operates in Belarus, and in some Russian cities there are small local Internet auctions, for example, in Krasnoyarsk - 24AU. Ebay is a popular auction site in Western Europe and the United States.
Step 2
If you decide to use an online auction to sell a product, select the one that is valid in your area. Be sure to select only one site, because listing one product in two auctions at once is contrary to the rules of such resources. Register on it in the usual way: enter your username, password, e-mail address, city, enter captcha, etc. When you receive a message to activate your account, follow the link it contains.
Step 3
Take some quality photos of the product from different angles. Then create a new lot for the auction, enter its name, detailed description, add the pictures you took. Specify the territory where you can buy the lot, the delivery method, the starting price and the price for early purchase, the duration of the auction and other necessary data. After carefully checking everything, put the lot up for sale.
Step 4
Another way to sell a product without an online store is to use message boards. Please note that you can use them only if the lot is not currently put up for any online auction. Choose only free boards - with or without registration. For those that require registration, register as indicated above.
Step 5
Bulletin boards, unlike auctions, do not tie a user to a specific site. You can place the same ad on several sites at once, and this will not contradict the rules. The optimal number of them is 20. Regardless of whether you use an auction or message boards, do not include contact details directly in the title or text - such an ad will certainly be removed. Use the dedicated fields. And always choose the right category for your lot or ad.
