[Singapore] How to create a InstantBuy Listing?
One of the easiest things to do on Carousell is to sell! Here's a guide on how to create your InstantBuy listing:
- To create a listing, tap on 'Sell' (the '+' icon)
- Fill in your listing title
- Choose the most suitable category for your item. Sellers onboard the InstantBuy program will be able to see the InstantBuy option when you list it in the InstantBuy categories. You may choose to list your items with or without InstantBuy.
- Complete your listing details as accurately as possible! It’s important to help buyers know what they're purchasing and reduce the chances of returns.
- That’s all there is! List it!
