Creating Your Listing

Ready to sell something? Creating a listing on ShopBroker takes just a few minutes. Here's everything you need to know.

Before You Start

Make sure you have:

  • Photos ready - Clear, well-lit pictures of your item

  • Item details - Brand, model, condition, any flaws

  • A price in mind - Or let Price Genius help you decide

Step by Step

1. Start a New Listing

From your seller dashboard, tap "Create Listing" or the plus icon. This opens the listing form.

2. Add Your Photos

Upload clear photos that show:

  • The item from multiple angles

  • Any brand labels or model numbers

  • Close-ups of condition (scratches, wear)

  • Everything included (accessories, cables, boxes)

Good photos sell items faster and reduce questions.

3. Use Price Genius (Optional)

Not sure what to charge? Tap "Get Price Suggestion" to use our AI-powered pricing tool:

  • Upload a photo of your item

  • Answer a few questions

  • Get a suggested price based on market data

4. Enter Item Details

Fill in the information:

  • Title - Clear, searchable name (e.g., "iPhone 13 Pro 256GB - Graphite")

  • Description - Condition, features, reason for selling

  • Price - Your asking price in CAD

  • Item weight - Used to determine delivery eligibility

5. Choose Fulfillment Options

Select how buyers can receive the item:

  • Professional delivery - Our drivers handle pickup and delivery

  • Self-arranged - Buyer picks up from you directly

  • Both - Let buyers choose their preference

6. Set Your Availability

Mark when you're available for driver pickup or buyer meetups. This helps coordinate smooth handoffs.

7. Review and Create

Double-check everything looks right, then tap "Create Listing." Your unique share link is ready!

Your Share Link

Once created, you get a link like:

shopbroker.ca/buy/abc123xyz

Share this anywhere:

  • Text messages

  • Facebook Marketplace

  • Kijiji conversations

  • Instagram DMs

  • Email

Anyone with the link can view your listing and buy.

Editing Your Listing

Made a mistake or want to update something? You can edit:

  • Title and description

  • Price

  • Photos

  • Availability

Just open the listing from your dashboard and make changes.

Tips for Great Listings

Write Honest Descriptions

Include any flaws or wear. This builds trust and prevents disputes later.

Be Specific

"iPhone 13" is okay. "iPhone 13 Pro 256GB Sierra Blue - 94% Battery Health" is better.

Respond Quickly

When buyers message with questions, quick responses lead to faster sales.

Price Fairly

Research similar items. Price Genius can help you find the sweet spot.
