No sound. Every step is also written out below.

Step by step

  1. Step 1: Select Sell something at the top of the page (Sell on a phone).

  2. Step 2: Select Choose photos (on a phone you can also Take a photo). Add up to 12; the first one is the cover. Then select Continue, as you will after each step.

  3. Step 3: Add a title that says what it is, choose a category and add your price.

  4. Step 4: Choose a Condition if the category asks for one. Allow offers? is set to Yes, so buyers can offer a different price; change it to No if you'd rather they didn't.

  5. Step 5: Answer any questions about the item. Some categories have none, and then this step is skipped.

  6. Step 6: Write a description and choose how it can be bought: Collection, Local delivery or both.

  7. Step 7: Add your postcode. It's never shown: buyers only see your area and roughly how far away it is.

  8. Step 8: Check the preview and select Publish listing. You'll see Your listing is live! with a link to share.
