Tips for Shopping Neutral

1. Think about resale value:

Its not always a case of spend more to get more. Think about what you could sell it for BEFORE you buy it. Do your research on what is a realistic price.

2. Everybody’s got something to sell:

You can sell a real mixture of stuff on Dabbid.com – from hosepipes to hats. Dabbid.com estimates that Irish homes are sitting on approximately €500 worth of saleable items – so get selling!

3. Balancing your budget:

Make sure any money from selling is in your account before you start buying

4. Offer good customer service:

You’re already a savvy shopper so remember what you want as a buyer when you’re selling. Communicate well, and be honest, if you’re going on holiday and can’t post your item, let the buyer know.

5. Make the more of your listings so you sell more to buy more:

Clear photos, detailed descriptions and complete transparency on any faults are the key to a successful sale. Put yourself in your buyer’s shoes and make sure there are no surprises in store.

6. Timing is key:

Think about what time a listing ends. The busiest time is between 7pm and 8pm at the weekend so you’re more likely to see last minute bids if the listing finishes around then.

7. Is there a need for speed?

Over half of all items for sale on Dabbid.com will be on sale for a fixed price. If you think your buyer will want your item quicker, or it is for a specific time, why not use ‘Buy Out’ to sell your item?
