Selling on a marketplace is easier than it seems, but the first two weeks are crucial. You either get your first orders and reviews, or your listing gets lost among hundreds of others. Below is a step-by-step guide and calculation examples for beginners.
Step 1. Choose a product you understand 🎯
It's best to start with one or two areas you're familiar with: service subscriptions, access to tools, account promotion services. Sell only what you can deliver honestly and on time, and only what is allowed by the platform and service rules.
Step 2. Listing 📝
The title should answer three questions: what it is, for how long, and in what format. Weak option: “Account cheap”. Strong option: “Service subscription, 1 month, personal profile, delivery within 15 minutes”.
In the description, specify:
what exactly the buyer will receive;
term and conditions of use;
region and restrictions;
how delivery works;
what to do if a problem arises.
The fewer questions remain, the more payments you'll get.
Step 3. Price 💰
Simple formula: purchase cost + your time + platform commission + buffer for replacements. Example: purchased for $7, commission and buffer calculated at $1.50, want to earn $2. The price is $10.50. Compare with ten closest listings and set a slightly lower price or the same level if your description and reviews are stronger.
Don't dump prices to zero: buyers are suspicious of prices much lower than the market rate.
Step 4. Payouts 💳
Decide in advance how you will withdraw your earnings. The platform offers several methods, including cryptocurrency, ByBit Pay, Binance Pay, Russian cards, and PayPal. Availability depends on the region and conditions, so check your account.
Step 5. First 10 Orders 🚀
Respond quickly. First orders build reputation.
Deliver exactly as described. No surprises.
Politely ask for a review, without pressure.
Record customer questions and add answers to the description.
Review the listing statistics after a week and adjust the title.
Realistic plan for starting: 3-5 orders in the first week with 5-7 listings and quick work. This is a guideline, not a promise: results depend on the product and competition.
What to avoid 🚫
Promises you cannot keep.
Copying others' descriptions.
Going silent during a dispute.
Selling something that violates service rules.
Paid Privileges ⭐
Once your base is ready, you can consider paid seller privileges that increase visibility. First, get your processes working under normal conditions and only then invest in promotion.
