Creating a Marketplace Listing

The Marketplace is where members list products and services with photos, prices and a location, and buyers message the seller directly from the listing.

Before you list

• You need a signed-in Xacheus account in good standing.
• Have clear photos of the actual item — stock photos mislead buyers and get reported.
• Decide the price and be ready to describe the condition honestly.

How to create a listing

1. Open the Marketplace from the navigation.
2. Choose create a listing (the sell button).
3. Pick the category that fits — Electronics, Fashion, Vehicles, Property, Services and more.
4. Add photos, the title, the description, the price and your location.
5. Review everything and publish.

Writing a listing that sells

• Put the item and its condition in the title ("iPhone 12, 64 GB, screen protector since new").
• Photograph the actual item from a few angles, including any defects.
• State whether the price is fixed or negotiable.
• For services, say exactly what is included and what is not.

After you publish

Buyers message you directly from the listing — watch your messages. When the item sells, edit or remove the listing so nobody keeps enquiring: Editing or removing a listing.

Honest limits

Xacheus is not the seller and is not a party to the transaction. Payment, delivery and disputes are between buyer and seller. Check the item, agree a safe way to meet or pay, and use the report tools if something goes wrong.

Safety

• Meet in a public place for in-person trades.
• Be suspicious of buyers offering more than the asking price or "overpayments" — that pattern is a scam. See Avoiding online scams.
• Never share bank PINs or mobile money codes with anyone.
