Yes, the cover photo is a real conversation. wallapop, that untamed land. The perception of the used market may not be entirely positive for some users, especially because of how boring chat conversations and counter offers can be.
I’ve been using wallapop as long as it existsI have a five star seller profile and I want to share with you how I survived. fauna What’s inside the app and what is my perception of sales after all these years?
Yes, ridiculous offers can be avoided (to a large extent)
The true description of an ad of mine. Not the prettiest, but effective.
Bargaining seems to be an inherent human behavior. Definitely try to buy something cheaper. For me, the first important point in an ad is the description. It should be noted that not one euro was deducted in it.. Actually, in my personal situation, I’m not afraid to write a somewhat aggressive statement in a predictable way. dribbling. I’m in this app to sell, not to be good.
If you state that you do not bargain, someone will bargain. Your direct messages will go to hell if you don’t indicate that you’re not negotiating.
Does this work? According to my experience, to a good extent. Finally something like speed limits. In Spain there are 120 km/h marks and yet many drivers exceed it. Without signals, everything would be chaos. Something similar with the description, significantly reduce the number of aggressive offersenough for the conversation not to be annoying.
Price is subject to negotiation. A certain margin is always given to the actual price of the product.. If you want to sell something for 100, ask for 120, if you want to sell something for 1,000, ask for 1,100. I usually examine the price of competing products to determine the right price. I try to put a realistic but attractive figure, by a certain margin when they try to lower the “peak” I had previously planned.
damn posts
This iPhone costs 1,050 Euros. With Wallapay the price goes up to €1,102.50.
Sorry, I’m not posting via Wallapop.. We can send it out, but not with the application system. Wallapay is, in my opinion, a bad option in every way. On the buyer side, the commission is quite high. On the seller side, you have to take the package to the post office and you can’t get the money until the buyer is satisfied.
Wallapop shipping raises the price of the product, slows down payment, and leaves the buyer completely dishonest.
Likewise, if the buyer wishes to report that he received the product in poor condition, you will have a hard time proving that this is not the case. The only way I post is life path: you pay in advance for the product, I will send it to you when I confirm your payment. What assurance does the buyer have? Many reviews.
For myself, I have my back if I know the product is in good condition. already paid, I usually make videos of how the product is before it’s shipped, and if the buyer didn’t pay for the insurance, it’s none of my business what happens next. Although I send the products if there is no other choice, deal in hand always has preference.
Measures of treatment at hand
I choose very well who I will sell to.. If someone speaks offensively badly in chat, insists on going directly to WhatsApp, or has no ratings on their profile, common sense is unlikely to lead me to meet them.
Choosing who, where and when to meet is important. I choose dense areas under video surveillance whenever possible and always in daylight.
When I stay, I usually do Well-lit, busy places with a camera nearby. Usually it is banks, in addition, to check if the amount is high. These factors tend to scare away potential criminals (at least in my small town in the south of Spain) who might want to seize the product illegally. I always keep in mind that the number of late arrivals is high, so I leave room for my appointment to fit my schedule.
mobile case I let the potential buyer try whatever they need. Nothing prevents the person from escaping, but the precautions I took earlier make this unlikely.
For me Wallapop is still unbeatable
There are phone sellers on eBay, on forums like HTCmania, Vibbo… In my personal experience, Nothing faster and more efficient than Wallapop. If your product is in perfect condition and you have an honest, complete and clear description, you can successfully sell your product in a few hoursfive-star ways for seller and buyer.
You have to be patient and remember that you will be dealing with all kinds of characters. They offered me scooters in exchange for the motorcycles I sold.. The phrase “I’ll give you (I’ll give you less than 50% of the product right now)” is very common and there are people who don’t even stop to read the product description. But I sell (and buy) well, and I hope it stays that way.
