Selling on No Bad Days is simple and rewarding! Here are step-by-step instructions to ensure your items are listed in the best way possible for buyers to find and purchase.
1. Take High-Quality Photos
Having many informative photos (up to 5 to 10 per listing) and ensuring their quality will help you attract a buyer’s attention and sell more quickly.
Please keep in mind to use your own pictures. DO NOT USE STOCK OR WATERMARKED IMAGES YOU FIND ONLINE. They’re copyrighted and may not show the current condition of your item.
Here’s what to keep in mind when taking photos and adding them to your listing
✅ Lighting: Use natural daylight or a bright, neutral background to make your item pop. Avoid dim or overly filtered photos.
Clear, well-lit photos help your item stand out and increase the chances of selling quickly.
✅ Angles: Take multiple shots to give buyers a full view of the item:
- Front view (full item) First Picture Front view (FULL)
Show the entire item in the first picture. Don’t use collages. - Back view (especially for jackets, tops, or unique designs)
- Close-up of details (zippers, buttons, embellishments)
- Brand tag/label (if it’s a well-known brand, this builds trust)
- Fabric care tag (for material details)
- Any imperfections (stains, rips, faded areas—be honest!)
- Labels & Logos – if a luxury / well known brand make sure to upload photos of the logo
- New item – make sure your tag / proof of purchase is included.
💡 Pro Tip: If selling clothing, take a photo wearing or styling the item—it helps buyers visualize how it fits!
2. Write a Clear & Honest Description
Your description should accurately describe your item and include key details. A great description should cover:
What it is: “Vintage Levi’s 501 Jeans” or “Oversized Nike Hoodie”
Size & Fit: “Tagged as Medium but fits more like a Small”
Color: Be specific! Instead of “blue,” say “navy blue” or “baby blue.”
Material: Cotton, linen, denim, etc.
Condition: New, worn a few times, vintage, etc.
Imperfections: Mention any stains, rips, missing buttons, or signs of wear. Transparency builds trust!
💡 Example Description:
“Oversized vintage Nike hoodie in forest green. Soft cotton fabric, super comfy and great for layering. Slight fading near the cuffs (see last photo), but still in great condition. Fits like a size Large. Brand logo embroidered on the chest. DM for questions!”
3. Set a Fair Price
💰 Consider:
Brand & Condition: A rare designer item may be priced higher, while a common fast-fashion item should be affordable.
Original Price vs. Selling Price: If an item was originally 5000 Kes and is in excellent condition, a resale price of 3000 – 3500 kes is reasonable.
💡 Pro Tip: If you’re open to offers, mention it in your description! (“Open to offers, feel free to DM!”)
4. Choose the Right Category & Tags
When uploading, select the correct category (Tops, Bottoms, Shoes, Accessories, etc.) and tags to help buyers find your item easily.
✅ Good Example:
- Category: Jackets
- Tags: #Vintage #Oversized #Nike #Streetwear
❌ Bad Example:
- Category: Accessories (wrong category for a jacket)
- Tags: #Cool #Trendy (too vague, won’t help search results)
5. Final Check & Upload!
🔄 Before Posting, Double-Check:
✔️ Clear, well-lit photos from multiple angles
✔️ Honest description with size, brand, and condition details
✔️ A fair price based on market demand
✔️ Correct category and helpful tags
Once everything looks good, hit upload and wait for your first sale!
By following these steps, you’ll increase your chances of selling quickly while keeping buyers happy and informed. Happy selling! 🚀
