Seller Step One:

Listing an Object for Sale or Swap in the Marketplace

 

Once you have created your object/s, you will see on the right hand side additional menus and options. At the top is a link to ‘List this Object for Sale’.  You can also add a new object for sale if you wish – but let’s ignore that link for now.

 

 

 

 

 

Click on the ‘List this Object for Sale’ link. This will bring you to a page which allows you to fill out a range of details on how you want to sell the object. At the top of the page is a short preview of the object itself.

 

 

Next, pick how long you want to accept offers – you have a choice between 3, 5, 7, 10, or 15 days. Remember, there’s no listing OR relisting fees!

 

Now pick how you want to be paid. You can choose as many options as you like. You can see an option there called ‘Zings’. This is our inhouse currency, which offers you an additional security and is an easy way to accept payments. You can also accept ‘Swaps’, which allows you to swap objects with other members.

 

Next, pick a minimum offer amount. This is like a reserve price – you won’t accept any offers below this amount. If you are accepting Zings, it’s worthwhile to remember that they are worth $US 1 each. You don’t have to fill this field out if you’re only accepting trades.

 

If you are accepting trades, then fill out the next field, where you can let people know what you are willing to swap your object for. This is an excellent way of letting other members know if they have something that might fill a gap in your collection.

 

Next, tell people where the object is located. This information is automatically filled in by using your profile details. You can edit or change the location if you need to.

 

 

Now fill in the shipping details – how much it will cost to ship domestic or internationally. We recommend you contact your local postal service for advice on how to calculate this.

And finally, add any extra information on the sale or trade.

 

 

When you’ve finished, press the Preview button, where you can view the listing and make any changes necessary. (You can see below that I choose to do a simple trade of my object. The ticks and crosses tell you what you do or don’t accept as payment ) 

 

 

Press save once you’re happy with the listing. You will be taken to a confirmation page; from there you can view your object/listing, or do other things.

 

 

Ok, go back to the object you’ve just put up for sale. You can see now the object page is quite different. On the right hand side menu, you will see a bright green message telling you that you are now accepting offers for this object.
