A few rules to keep Peddly fair and trustworthy for everyone.
Photos and descriptions must accurately represent the item. Show defects, wear, and anything that might disappoint a buyer. The condition rating you choose should match reality.
Ship within the timeframe stated in your listing. If something comes up, message the buyer immediately. Consistent late shipping will impact your seller rating and search ranking.
Use appropriate packaging to prevent damage in transit. Damaged deliveries lead to disputes, returns, and negative reviews — all avoidable with good packing.
Respond to buyer messages within 24 hours. Be respectful and helpful. If there's a problem with an order, work with the buyer before escalating to a dispute.
Only list items that are legally yours to sell. Don't list items you don't have in hand (pre-orders, drop-shipping, etc.) unless clearly stated.
Shill bidding, fake reviews, and review manipulation are strictly prohibited and will result in immediate account suspension.
Peddly's 5% fee for first 30 days, then 8% is deducted from each sale automatically. Sellers are responsible for reporting and paying applicable taxes on their sales. Peddly may issue a 1099-K if you cross IRS reporting thresholds.
🚀 Tips for your first sale
Photos sell listings
Use natural light and shoot from multiple angles. Clear, bright photos get 3x more clicks than dark ones. Show any flaws honestly — it builds trust and prevents disputes.
Price to sell, not to hold
Check Market Insights to see what similar items sold for on eBay. Price 10-15% below that and you will move it fast. You keep more with Peddly fees than eBay.
Ship the same day or next day
Fast shippers get better reviews. Have your packaging ready before you list. Print your label from the dashboard the moment you get a sale.
Write descriptions for skeptics
Describe the item as if the buyer cannot see the photos. Include brand, model, size, age, any cosmetic flaws, and what is included in the box. More detail = fewer questions = faster sales.
Respond to messages within 2 hours
Buyers who get fast responses buy. Set up notifications so you are alerted when someone messages. A quick reply goes a long way toward closing the sale.
Ask for a review
After delivery, send a quick thank-you message. Most happy buyers forget to leave a review — a friendly reminder doubles your review rate and boosts your trust score.
