    Research similar items to set competitive prices. Consider including usage instructions or accessories.

  • Clear Policies:

    Set clear pickup/delivery options, cancellation policies, and usage guidelines upfront.

  • Appropriate Deposits:

    Set security deposits proportional to the item's value and risk, not excessive amounts.
