First-Time Seller? Here's Everything You Need to Know

September 20, 2025·4 min read

Welcome to RUSTI! Whether you're clearing clutter or starting a reselling business, here's everything you need to post your first successful listing.

Step 1: Create Your Account

Sign up with your email or Google account. Add a profile photo and your city — listings with location get 3× more views than those without.

Step 2: Know What Sells Best

The top categories on RUSTI are:

1.Smartphones
2.Bikes & Scooters
3.Furniture
4.Home Appliances
5.Cars

But almost anything in good condition will find a buyer — from textbooks to treadmills.

Step 3: Write Your Listing

A good listing has:

•Title: Brand + Model + Key Spec (e.g., "Samsung 55-inch 4K Smart TV – 2 years old")
•Condition: Be honest. Buyers trust honest sellers.
•Description: Age, reason for selling, any defects, what's included.
•Price: Research the market. Price slightly above your minimum.
•Photos: At least 3 clear images.

Step 4: Respond Quickly

Buyers lose interest fast. Check your notifications and reply within the hour.

Step 5: Handle the Meet-Up Like a Pro

•Suggest a public location.
•Confirm the meet 30 minutes before.
•Bring the original receipt/box if available.
•Test the item together so there are no disputes.

Step 6: Close the Deal

Collect payment, hand over the item, and mark your listing as sold. That's it — your first RUSTI sale is done!

Good luck — and remember, RUSTI support is always a WhatsApp message away.
