How to post a marketplace listing

Posting a listing on TimeFotos lets you sell items, give things away, post wanted ads, or list services — all visible to people in your city.

Before you start

• Sign in to your account.
• Make sure your city is set correctly so your listing appears in the right local hub.
• Have photos and a clear description ready — listings with photos get more responses.

Steps to post

1. Go to your city’s marketplace
   From the app or site, open your city hub and click Marketplace (or Post listing / + Post).

2. Choose a category
   Select the type of listing:

   • Free — Give items away at no cost
   • For Sale — Sell items at a price you set
   • Wanted — Ask for something you’re looking for
   • Cars, Rentals, Pets, Jobs, Services, Real Estate, etc.

3. Add details

   • Title — Short, clear title (e.g. “Gray sectional sofa, excellent condition”).
   • Description — Condition, size, why you’re selling, pickup location, etc.
   • Price — Set a price or mark as free. Some categories have a small listing fee.
   • Photos — Upload at least one clear photo; multiple angles help.

4. Review and publish
   Check the listing for accuracy, then click Publish or Post. Your listing goes live in your city’s marketplace.

After posting

• Respond to messages — Buyers or interested users will contact you through TimeFotos messaging. Reply promptly.
• Mark as sold or claimed — When the item is gone, mark the listing as sold/claimed so others stop inquiring.
• Edit or delete — You can usually edit or remove your listing from your account or the listing page.

Tips for a good listing

• Use a descriptive title with key details (brand, condition, size).
• Be honest about condition and any flaws.
• Good lighting and multiple photos increase interest.
• Set a fair price (or “free”) and mention if you’re open to offers.
