Most buyers barely read descriptions but good ones filter out time-wasters. Include: dimensions, condition details, reason for selling, and firm vs negotiable. Answer common questions before they are asked!

I always include why I am selling. Buyers are suspicious otherwise. Moving, upgrading, received as gift - gives them confidence the item is not broken. Transparency builds trust.

Pro tip: put the most important info in the first line. Most people only see the preview before clicking. Lead with condition, size, or the main selling point.
