A few habits that make your listings more trustworthy and more likely to sell.
Choose Like New, Good, or Fair based on cover wear, page condition, and any previous owner markings — not on how you feel about the book. Buyers who receive a book worse than described are the top source of disputes and bad reviews.
Photograph the front cover, spine, and any damage (torn pages, water stains, writing) in daylight. A listing with honest photos gets more contact reveals than one with a single blurry shot.
Lead with the book's real title and author, not a marketing phrase. Search on SecondBook matches title, author, and ISBN — an accurate title is also how buyers find you.
First printings, special editions, box sets, or a signed copy are worth calling out — use the description for general details and the seller's note for specifics about your exact copy.
A buyer only reveals your number when they're ready to talk. Answering calls or messages promptly is the biggest factor in turning a reveal into a sale.
Once you've agreed a sale, mark the listing as sold from your dashboard so other buyers stop reaching out and it comes down from Browse.
