These guidelines help you sell faster and keep you inside the marketplace rules. They apply to individuals and to business stores.

Before you post

• Clean the item and gather what goes with it: box, charger, warranty card, receipts, registration papers.
• Check what similar items are listed for in your city, so your price is realistic.
• Decide how you want to be contacted: chat only, or chat and calls.

Photos that work

• Take them in daylight, against a plain background, with the lens wiped clean.
• Show the whole item first, then each side, then the details: screen, ports, tyres, labels, model number.
• Photograph any scratch, dent, crack or stain. Buyers trust sellers who show faults, and it avoids arguments when you meet.
• Use your own photos of the real item. Up to 12 photos per ad.
• Hide number plates, serial numbers and documents if you wish, but never edit a photo to hide a defect.

If you add photos first, the AI ad creator can draft the title and details for you to check.

Title and description

• Title: what it is, the brand and model, and one key fact. "Samsung Galaxy A54, 8/256, PTA approved" is better than "Mobile for sale".
• Description: age, condition, what is included, why you are selling, and anything a buyer would ask anyway. Short lines are easier to read than one long paragraph.
• State the facts only you can know: PTA status of a phone, real mileage of a vehicle, accident history, whether documents are complete, remaining warranty.
• Do not write phone numbers or links in the text. Use the contact options instead.

Price

• Enter the real price. If you are open to offers, mark it negotiable and leave a little room.
• If the ad gets views but no messages after a week, the price is usually the reason.
• Reducing the price by editing the ad is better than posting the item again.

Talking to buyers

• Reply quickly and politely. Most buyers message several sellers and go with the first clear answer.
• Keep the conversation in the BUY.net.pk chat. It keeps a record and lets you report abuse.
• Respond to offers: accept, decline or send a counter offer. Unanswered offers expire after 72 hours.
• Never share an OTP, your CNIC image, or your bank or wallet login with a buyer.

Meeting and handing over

• Meet in a busy public place in daylight, and take someone along for valuable items.
• Let the buyer inspect and test the item. Do not let a phone, a bike or a car leave your sight "for a test".
• Count cash on the spot, or open your own banking or wallet app and confirm the transfer has arrived. A screenshot is not proof.
• For vehicles, complete the transfer papers properly. For phones, sign out of your accounts and reset the phone after payment.
• Give a simple receipt for expensive items and keep a copy.

After the sale

• Mark the ad as sold. It stops new messages and keeps the site accurate.
• If you sold through an offer in chat, the buyer may leave a review. You can reply to it once.
• Ads that are not sold expire after 45 days. Renew the ad if the item is still available.

Things that get ads rejected

• Wrong category or city, or the same item posted more than once.
• Internet or catalogue photos for a used item, or watermarks from other sites.
• Contact details or links in the title, description or photos.
• A fake price, or a title stuffed with unrelated keywords.
• Anything on the restricted and prohibited list.

If we ask for changes, the note on the ad tells you exactly what to fix. Edit and submit again; you do not need to start over.

Selling as a business

If you sell regularly, open a business store. You get a store page, 30 free live ads, staff accounts and bulk upload, and you can apply for the "Business verified" badge. Business sellers must be clear that they are a business, honour the prices they advertise, give receipts, and respect any warranty they promise.

Promotions

A good free ad sells most things. If you want more reach, promotions such as Featured put your ad in more visible places for a set number of days and are always labelled. See the pricing page and the refund policy.
