If there is an application that is succeeding in the world of second-hand sales between individuals today, it is Wallapop. We have a good handful of similar applications available and especially web pages that allow us sell second-hand products without intermediaries and at the price that "we want" without losing too much money.
Freedom and above all security in sales that these types of applications do not offer are the key to their success and it is true that not everyone is clear about the previous concepts before selling a product on Wallapop or similar apps, so today we will see how to get sell our product more quickly and easily.
The questions are many and the answers are clear
Always when we have to buy and especially sell in apps like Wallapop or similar we have to try to carry out the deals in hand and in crowded places for our safety. It is not the same to send an iPhone by courier than to show it directly to the buyer, but in both cases we have to make sure that everything will go well since it is a high-priced product and it is very important to be clear about the basic concepts so you don't have problems of any kind. The buyer also wants their guarantees and therefore many questions arise in this regard, in any case we will now talk about some of them.
Can I sell anything on Wallapop? Yes, almost everything that comes to mind you can sell. Except of course, the products prohibited by the app itself. ¿Do Wallapop Ratings Matter? Yes and no. This depends on many factors, but obviously the higher our valuation, the greater the chances of closing the deal. What is most important in selling a product? Basically what matters to the user who buys or wants to buy is the status of the product and this can be seen in many ways, but above all through photos, so they are the next thing we are going to discuss.
Product photos have to be the attraction for the buyer
And it is that as is well said all over the world when one thing enters your sight the rest is easier. In this case, what we have to take into account are the main factors that we want to highlight of our product and take the relevant photographs so that they look in all their splendor. Choose a good place to take those photos and with good lighting It is also important so we have to be clear about these details when creating our own ad.
Whenever possible we have to use a good camera to take the photos and these must be many so that the Wallapop buyer has all the necessary information without having to ask too much. What's more different photos can be added to this platform at no extra cost, so the more images the buyer has the better.
Undoubtedly, this is almost always the determining factor in whether our sale is a success and it is that having all the details in photos (possible damages, improvements implemented, etc.) may be what finally determines whether we will sell that product or not.
Clean or condition the product and have the invoice if possible
These details are also very important in order to be successful in the sale. And it is that the user who observes the hanging photos and sees traces of dirt or neglect in the product is possible that he will pass by our product making lose the sale due to accumulated dirt or being disassembled into pieces or similar.
Another important detail is to have the invoice of the product to verify that it is something that we have bought. In this sense it is not always possible have the product invoice, but it is very interesting to be able to offer a minimum guarantee on what we sell and obviously having the purchase invoice is a point to take into account. In older products, obviously, it will not serve as a guarantee, but despite this we will be able to show what the product we are selling really cost us and also verify that it is something that has not been stolen or found.
Not cheating is the key to success in future sales
This point is super important and is that if we lie in a transaction or try to deceive the buyer, he will vote us negatively, so it will be difficult to redo that vote against. In addition, when you try to deceive people, they retaliate in the reviews (as we have seen in some profiles) and therefore it is the rule to follow from the beginning: We cannot fool the buyer, That is why it is also important to fill in the product information well and detail whether or not it has damage, if it works normally and this type of detail about what we are selling.
Here it is also good to apply the rule that says: "what you do not want for yourself, you do not want for others" So in these cases it is best stay away from deception attempts in the sale of products since surely all this will turn against us preventing us from selling other products later.
Knowing how to negotiate and adjust the price is important, more at Wallapop
And it is that people enter first by haggling in applications for buying and selling products, so we have to be very clear about the price we want to achieve for our product and the one that we finally use as a claim in the Wallapop application. The most normal thing in the world in this type of application is to find high prices and then you have to use the ancient art of "haggling" to get a better price, so it is logical that they haggle us.
So it is necessary to adjust the price to the maximum and be very clear to how much we are going to lower the product we are selling. Normally it will sell better if we lower the price a little when we establish communication with the buyer through messages, but we do not have to lose too much money and that is why I say that we must be clear from the beginning that We will seldom sell the product for what we marked at the beginning Unless it's really a bargain. We have to be prepared for this and that is why it is important to think of a fair price always pulling downwards since "personal appreciation" that we may have on this is not worth euros ...
Shipments through Wallapop are really advisable and safe
We have been enjoying the option of shipping products via Wallapop. This option is very valid for both the buyer and the seller and will be of great help to carry out the operation when we have to send the product. In this sense, it is as simple as entering our personal data in the app settings and placing the weight at the time of publishing the ad so that those who visit it know that we are facing a product with shipping. Shipping is always at the buyer's expense and the rate will depend on the weight of the product starting from 2,5 euros and going up according to the weight.
Now everything is in the hands of Wallapop and when the buyer sends us an offer for our product, we will simply have to follow the steps to take our package to the Post Office, fully wrapped and ready to be shipped. In Correos we will only have to pass the code provided by Wallapop by the scanner and voila, the package will take a few days to be received by the buyer.
Once the package arrives, the buyer will have 48 hours to verify that everything is correct and then in 3 business days we will receive the money agreed in the offer. Given this, there is a section in Help that explains very clearly how the return procedure works in case of problem, we leave a part of the text that we find inside the app:
Is there a Return / Refund policy?
- Products not allowed in our rules of coexistence
- Products advertised with third party photos
- Non-original products (replicas)
- Products whose content or operation we cannot verify (Cosmetics, perfumes, wine bottles, air conditioners etc.)
- Products damaged or for parts.
- Color differences when it is not reflected in the description.
- Products stained, dirty or with other marks of use.
- Products not complete or parts that are missing but can be used (screws, buttons, etc.)
- Unsealed products (cannot be the only reason to process a return)
- Item displayed as "Perfect condition", "Brand new", etc.
Wallapop has a pretty cool market
Wallapop has become one of the most used tools when it comes to quickly selling any object that we have at home and that we do not really use. In addition, having the app on the smartphone in addition to the web makes your access is really easy for everyone and that is why it is succeeding in this segment.
We cannot say that it is the only app in which we can sell our products but it has become one of the main ones and therefore it is very interesting to know all the details of the app and know how it works. On the other hand, it has also earned the fame of being an app for people who bargain on the first message they send you, but that goes a lot with the person and is not always the case. The best way to verify this is without a doubt to make the first sale or hang up the first product and wait until you are lucky in the sale. Do you use Wallapop often?
