1. Write a Clear, Honest Product Title
Your title should include the product name, key feature, and condition. Example: "Men's Nike Air Max — Size 42 — Grade B" beats "Nice shoes for sale".
2. Use Real Photos
Buyers decide with their eyes first. Take photos in good natural light. Show any wear or defects — this builds trust and reduces returns.
3. Price Competitively
Check what similar items sell for on other Kenyan platforms. Slightly undercut if you're new — your first 5 reviews matter more than your first profit margin.
4. Set Your Quality Grade
gikomba.shop lets you grade products A, B, or C. Use it honestly. Buyers who know what to expect are satisfied buyers who leave good reviews.
5. Respond to Buyers Fast
Sellers who respond to WhatsApp enquiries within the hour close 3x more sales than those who respond same-day. Turn on notifications.
