buyer psychology

Replace vague flaw language with specific details using the 5-point framework (what, where, how big, visible when worn, fixable). Always pair flaw text with a close-up photo and price the flaw in explicitly.

Write every listing as if the buyer will never message you. Include brand, measurements, condition with flaws, price, payment terms, and shipping cost — all in the post, not in DMs.

Start with COD or 50% deposit if you're new. Move to GCash-before-shipping once you have 10-20 reviews. Lead with what the buyer gets (video, tracking, social proof), then ask for payment.

Respond with details plus a decision point — 'P450, GCash payment, ships tomorrow — want me to reserve it?' — to filter out non-buyers within 1-2 messages instead of 15.

Put the price on your listing — in the title, description, and photo. You'll get fewer messages, but the ones you get will be from buyers who already accepted the price.

Run through the diagnosis checklist: check price vs. competitors, retake photos in natural light, add size/condition/shipping info, and renew stale listings every 7 days.
