Are you thinking about selling your old laptop, motorbike or car? Or maybe you have a brand new mobile phone but you don’t want to use it? The best way to get rid of these is to sell fast on Bikroy!

Bikroy offers a fantastic platform to bring together buyers and sellers across the nation. It is a simple, easy-to-use system that allows you to browse through thousands of listings as well as create your own.

Despite the convenience of use, many sellers find it difficult to get buyers quickly due to some common mistakes. So if you are thinking about selling your products or services, make sure to avoid these 5 mistakes while posting an ad on Bikroy. This way you can start selling in no time!

1. Not Adding Real Pictures

This is the biggest mistake people make while posting ads on Bikroy. Many sellers post ads for products and use the downloaded pictures rather than real photos of the actual product they are selling. Oftentimes these sellers do not receive any responses, or they have a negative experience with interested buyers.

The reason for this is, buyers prefer to see real-life photos of the product rather than a promotional picture meant to entice customers. Adding stock photos may give some buyers the impression that you might be a fraudulent seller, and they will be less likely to contact you.

The best course of action is to take photos by yourself before posting in the ad. It provides credibility and trust, and you will have a better chance of selling your product.

2. Setting the Wrong Price

Setting a price that is either overstated or understated can cause problems for you. Before posting an ad for your product, it is a good idea to research the market beforehand. For example, if you want to sell your laptop, note down the make and model and search the internet for its current market price of laptops. You can also compare the prices charged for both new and used versions. After finding out what other sellers are asking for, you can estimate a competitive rate to set which will be profitable for you without overcharging your buyers.

If you set a price that is too high, no buyers will be interested and they will look elsewhere for sellers offering the product for much cheaper. On the other hand, setting a price that is too low may seem too good to be true, and buyers may avoid your product thinking it is defective or deceitful.

3. Not Including Enough Details

On Bikroy, more details always equals more views. 

This means that the more information you add in the description, the more likely your ad will be viewed by buyers. Nowadays, it is not enough to post an ad with attractive pictures and a good price – you need to make a convincing description as well.

Our suggestion is to add as many relevant details about the product or service as you can. You can include details about for how long you have used the product (or whether it’s brand new), you can list all the different components that you will provide with the product (e.g if you are selling a phone, mention if you will include charger and headphones as well). Most importantly, you should add information about the current condition of the product and enlist any flaws it might have. It is better, to be upfront so you can avoid hassles later.

By adding sufficient details and using the right keywords, buyers will be more likely to find your ad and set a deal.

4. Listing under the Wrong Category

Bikroy.com organizes all the posts according to their corresponding categories. This way it is easier for buyers to find what they are looking for. If you happen to include your product or service in the wrong category, you are less likely to get interested buyers as they may not be able to find your listings.

Oftentimes this problem arises due to sellers posting under the right category but the wrong sub-category. It is important to narrow down as much as possible so you can find your target customers quickly and efficiently.

Before posting your ad, make sure to go through all the relevant categories and sub-categories to find the best match for your product. An easy way to do this is to look at our sitemap.

We advise that you set the right title as well. For example, if you want to sell a brand new Samsung phone, don’t title your ad as “New Samsung Smartphone for Sale”. Instead, use more specific words and write it as, “Samsung J7 Pro for Sale”.

5. Listing in the Wrong Location

Adding the correct location is very important. Most of the transactions through Bikroy occur face-to-face as buyers meet in person to complete their exchange. If you list your product in the wrong location, it will be very difficult to seal the deal with buyers in person.

While posting ads, make sure you select the location nearest to you. This will make it easier for you as well in case you need to go to your buyer to sell the product.

Using the correct location becomes even more important in case of services. For example, if you are operating a car repair shop in one location but you list the service as located near your home, this will not work. You need to make it easier for your buyers or clients to come to you.
