Smooth marketplace transactions rely on clear communication, mutual respect, and prompt responses. Learn the golden rules of negotiating politely, keeping viewing appointments, and leaving fair feedback in Kenya.
Communicating Clearly on WhatsApp and Calls
When inquiring about a listing, introduce yourself politely, state the specific item name, and ask clear questions about its condition or location.
Respecting Negotiated Prices and Time
Do not agree on a price via text only to aggressively renegotiate upon arrival. If an item matches its description, honor the agreed price and arrive on time.
Promptly Updating or Marking Listings as Sold
Sellers should delete or mark items as sold immediately after receiving payment to avoid wasting time for other interested buyers.
Writing Honest Product Descriptions
Always state the true condition of your item, including any cosmetic scratches, missing accessories, or battery health metrics.
