The right category for your Services
Not sure if your listing should be classified as a Service? Let us help you out!
What constitutes a Service?
A Service is a professional skill or expertise provided to the client, customisable and/or unique to the client receiving it.
For listings where physical goods are involved, it will also be considered a Service when the service provided by the seller requires expertise in a particular area, requires equipment that a regular person would not normally own, involves the lending of items for a fee or when a product is built according to a buyer’s specifications. A few examples include;
- Products that require extensive customisation
- Sale and installation of products that require customisation
- Items for rent
Items that fall under our Services and Learning & Enrichment categories have to pay a fee to list due to the business/professional nature of these listings.
By doing so, we aim to encourage quality listings and reduce listing spam in the marketplace, making it easier for buyers to find what they want. When buyers can find the item they want faster, sellers benefit too!
What if I’m selling products that come with free installation?
If the product requires a certain degree of customisation before being installed, the product and installation would be considered a Service.
If the listing is purely providing installation services, then it would be considered a Service.
To provide guidance on categorising Service listings, here are a few examples of the correct categories for your listings*!
*Please note that the list below is not exhaustive that there are other services not listed that would fall under the definition of a Service.
To provide guidance on categorising hybrid Product-Service listings, here is an example chart of the right categories for your listings!
