Minute 1: Hook Them with the Basics (The “What”)

Start by repeating and expanding on the key details from your title. Be specific.

  • Example for a vase: “This is a beautiful, hand-blown glass vase from the [Brand Name] collection. It stands 12 inches tall and is in perfect condition, with no chips or cracks.”

Minute 2: Sell the Benefits, Not Just the Features (The “Why”)

This is the most crucial step. Explain how the product improves the buyer’s life.

  • Feature: “Holds water.”
  • Benefit: “Perfect for displaying a fresh bouquet of flowers, instantly brightening up any room in your home.”
  • Feature: “Made of solid oak.”
  • Benefit: “This durable construction ensures it will last for years, becoming a family heirloom.”

Minute 3: Be Brutally Honest About Condition

Building trust is non-negotiable. If there’s a scratch, a stuck pixel, or a faint stain, mention it. Use terms like “Like New,” “Gently Used,” or “For Parts/Repair.” Honesty prevents returns and negative feedback, building your reputation as a trustworthy FujUnity seller.

Minute 4: Tell a Mini-Story (The “Who”)

Give a brief reason for selling. It makes the listing feel more personal and authentic.

  • “Selling because we’re downsizing.”
  • “Upgraded my model, so this one needs a new home.”
  • “Never used, it was an unwanted gift.”

Minute 5: End with a Clear Call to Action (The “How”)

Tell the buyer exactly what to do next.

  • “Message me on FujUnity with any questions!”
  • “Local pickup is available in [Your Town].”
  • “Check out my other listings on my FujUnity profile for more great deals!”
