# How do I sell or give away an item?

Create a listing with photos, a price and how the buyer gets the item.

You list an item from the **Create Listing** page.

1. Press Create Listing on the Marketplace, or go to Create Listing.
2. Add Photos. You can drag them in or press to choose them. The first photo is the cover.
3. Under Details, enter a Title and Description.
4. Choose a Category and the Condition.
5. Under Offer & price, answer How are you offering this item?. Free (Freecycle) is chosen for you; the other choices are Lend / borrow (item comes back), Fixed price and Negotiable.
6. For a fixed price or negotiable item, enter the Price and Currency. A free or lent item has no price.
7. Under Location & Delivery, enter the Location.
8. Choose the Delivery Method.
9. Press Publish Listing.

You see **Listing created successfully!**

## Choosing a delivery method

Choose **Pickup Only** if the buyer will collect the item. Many communities do not allow items to be posted. If yours does not, choosing a posting option stops the listing being published. You see a message explaining this.

## Before your listing appears

In many communities, an administrator checks new listings first. Your listing will not appear to others until it is approved. If it is not approved, you get a notification with the reason.

Only list items you own and are allowed to sell. Describe the condition honestly, and include any faults in the photos.
