Sign in and tap New listing on the homepage, or go straight to /sell. You’ll fill in:

1. Photos. The single biggest factor in whether something sells. Shoot in daylight, get the whole item in frame, and include close-ups of any damage. Honest photos of flaws prevent wasted trips for both of you.
2. Title and description. Lead with the brand and model. Say what it does, how old it is, what’s worn out, and why you’re selling.
3. Price. Search Listd for comparable items first. If you’re not sure, price slightly high and expect an offer. Listing at free is also an option for things you just want gone.
4. Category and location. The right category is how buyers find you. Your location is shown as a general area, never your street address.

You can edit, mark sold, or delete from the listing page any time. Only you see those controls. Boosts, badges, and other seller mechanics are covered on the Perks page.

Plenty of listings get posted by someone other than the owner — you’re clearing out a parent’s garage, handling an estate, or doing a friend a favor. Listd supports that openly instead of making you pretend the item is yours.

When you create the listing, flag it as listed on behalf of someone else and tell us your relationship to the owner — parent, relative, friend, estate, or other. That relationship is shown to buyers so nobody is surprised when the person answering questions isn’t the person who owns the thing.

The consent step

Then you choose who buyer inquiries go to. If you want them forwarded to the owner, we need the owner’s permission first — we don’t take your word for it:

1. You give us the owner’s email address.
2. We email the owner directly, name you, state the relationship you claimed, and give them two one-click links: I agree or Not me / don’t contact.
3. Nothing is forwarded until the owner clicks “I agree.” If they never respond, inquiries simply stay with you.
4. The owner can revoke at any time with the second link, and forwarding stops immediately.

If you’d rather just handle every inquiry yourself, pick that instead and no consent email is sent.

For anything commonly stolen or titled, we ask for an identifier when you list it:

• VIN for cars, trucks, motorcycles, ATVs, and snowmobiles
• HIN (hull identification number) for boats
• Serial number for bikes, power tools, generators, and similar gear

We screen these against stolen-property databases, including Bike Index, as part of Listd Serial Watch. A hit gets the listing pulled and reviewed.

What’s public and what isn’t

• VINs are shown publicly on vehicle listings. Buyers expect to be able to run a history report, and it’s already visible through the windshield.
• Serial numbers are kept private. They’re used for theft screening and recovery only — publishing a serial would help a thief claim the item, not stop one.

If you don’t have the number handy, you can use the scan button to read it off the plate or sticker with your camera. Honest sellers benefit from this: a screened serial is a strong signal to a cautious buyer.

Some categories are hard-blocked, and some are allowed only with paperwork. Read Prohibited items before you post — it covers weapons, regulated goods, recalled products, animals, counterfeits, and more. Our Community Guidelines cover conduct, and the Terms of Service are the binding version.

If you’d rather rent a tool or trailer out repeatedly than sell it once, Listd handles the payment, agreement, and payout for you. See Renting for fees and how payouts work.
