To help you get started, you must first understand that a good classified listing needs to address the following: Attention, Interest and Action.

Attention:

You must first get the buyers' attention. Your title will do the trick. Be creative, keep it short and mention the best feature of your item. Your item's best feature could be price, quality or just a hot item most people want.
It's also important to place a keyword in your title, because most buyers will run keyword searches to find an item.
In addition, try to use some power words that grab buyers' attention. Here are some power word examples: discover, easy, guarantee, new, proven, results, safety, save, dependable.

Interest: Your listing needs to be appealing. Within the description of the listing, mention your item's beneficial value. As you already know your intended buyers (as your item has already been categorized), try to think of a way your item will provide benefit to the buyer. For example, if you are selling a car, tell your potential buyer (soon to be the next driver) how well the car will benefit them in every possible way. You may also want to provide a detail description of all the specifications, weight, and dimensions. Better yet, include a digital image of your item. Your image will speak volumes.

Action: Be a little assertive and try to use directive towards the end of your description. For example, "send me a message for more details" or "buy now, while supply last". The goal is to try to provoke an action on the buyer's part.
One last thing, be HONEST. By giving your honest representation of the item being put up for sale, this builds trust between you and the buyer. Honesty, above all else, makes a good listing. Remember, buyers will often return back to you for further purchases when they have that trust.

Example:
Title: Need a Dependable Used Car that Drives Well?
2004 Honda Civic - 12,000 miles, automatic transmission, CD, AM/FM radio, power steering, great gas mileage. Send me a message now.

We want to provide you with a positive experience and to help you enhance your business of buying and selling online. One of the key issues and concerns our users have relates to suspicious activities. Below are some of the behaviors you may want to look out for when dealing with other buyers and sellers.

The fraud Seller may:

• Request for payment overseas, payment to a third party, or to a location different than the one listed on the seller's ad

• Priced a normally expensive item at a very low price

• Use an image from an outside source that does not relate to the item being put up for sale

• Request payment through a non-traceable method, such as wire transfer, Western Union, and Money Gram

• Use very poor English

The Fraud Buyer may:

• Request to provide a partial payment and pay for the rest afterward

• A buyer may "erroneously" overpay you with a cashier's check and asks you to reimburse the "overpayment", although the check is a fake. Banks will cash these checks, but the checks will fail to clear when being processed at a later time.

• Similarly, after sending a fake cashier's check/money order, a buyer backs out of a deal and asks you to repay by personal check/Western Union/wire transfer

• Use very poor English

Additional useful tips:

• Try to buy and sell locally to avoid long distance fraud

• Always obtain the buyer/seller's phone number and attempt to communicate directly before agreeing on a sale

• Make your own time to contact seller in Person.

• Do not give out credit card or bank account information through email. Its not safe

• Always use your bank account for making payments like Account payee cheque/online transfer/Demand Draft. If possible, try paying by credit card. Under law, if you are defrauded by purchasing with a credit card, you may dispute the charges.

• Use Paypal (www.paypal.com) for online purchases. The most popular form of online funds transfer next to credit cards.

• Be wary of listings relating to: "income guarantees", "get-rich-quick" or other unrealistic claims, and some "work at home and make lots of Rs/-"

• If and when you notice these types of behaviors from buyers and sellers, please exercise proper judgment and common sense, on whether or not you wish to deal with them.

• If you are a victim of fraud or know information of fraud, contact your local Police officer.

• If you are a victim of fraud or know information of fraud, report us to deactivate particular fraud member
