Putting your product online

Publishing a product takes place in two stages:
- Creating your ad
The more specific you are, the better your ad will be! It is important that your future buyer has all the information they need when reading your ad: from the material to the smallest flaw. This will limit confusion upon receipt and requests for withdrawal/non-compliance.
A few tips:
- The title
It must describe your product comprehensively and objectively.
If you mention a designer or publisher and the origin is not proven, use the following wording: “in the style of,” “inspired by,” “in the manner of.”
If your product is a rug or mirror, indicate the dimensions in the title. Customers search for this type of item based on the space they have available.
If it is a set, specify the number of products in the title - “pair,” “set of 3 chairs.”
- The category
If an item does not have a suitable category, it simply means that we do not accept it on the site.
- Photos
A minimum of 2 different photos are required. Choose the first photo for your listing, which we will then crop. Make sure that the entire product is visible: it must not be cropped. It is important that there is nothing on top of it, in front of it, or inside it. Also remember to add detailed photos. Be careful with photos taken outdoors and overexposure to light; indoor photos are best!
Please note:
If you are selling a bundle: the main photo must show the number of units available in the bundle.
If you are selling individual items: the main photo must show a single unit.
- Quantity
A bundle means that you are offering several products sold together. The buyer cannot therefore purchase individual items.
A single item may exist in X copies that can be purchased separately.
- Description
Be sure to provide as much information as possible to future buyers. Tell them everything you know about your product and its previous life, and also indicate any defects.
- Price
We advise you to take into account the condition of the product and similar items on the site.
- Moderation of your listing by our Selection team
Once you have created your listing, it is sent to our Selection team, which processes listings one by one, seven days a week. Selection is an integral part of our identity and our primary added value.
To learn more about our selection process, please see our Selection Charter.
After reviewing your listing, we may ask you to modify it. For example, we may ask you to add a photo of the entire product or all products in the lot.
