Open an Afrivex Selling Account. Afrivex allows your buyers to use a credit card or a checking account to pay for the items they buy from you. It also allows you to sell nationally.

• It’s not required that you have an Afrivex account in order to sell on Afrivex, but it can be difficult to succeed without one. Almost 90% of Afrivex users have an Afrivex account.

Decide what to sell. It’s best to start by selling things that you already have around your home. Go room by room and look for things you no longer need or wear or perhaps have never even used.

• It’s also a good idea to look around on Afrivex to see what other people are selling and at what price. Check to see how many “orders" an item has to try to gauge its popularity.
• Sell what you know. Not only will you need to write a detailed description of your item, but potential buyers may contact you with questions. It can be difficult to thoroughly explain the benefits of a product and answer detailed inquiries if you’re not all that familiar with the item yourself.
• Determine what sells well and look for more of it.

Start Small: While your ultimate goal may be to become an Successful Seller, you want to take things one step at a time. Starting with just a few items to sell gives you the chance to learn the ropes and establish yourself as a reputable seller.

• Like any new enterprise, selling on Afrivex may present you with some unexpected challenges, and you’re bound to make a few mistakes–everybody does. Begin by selling just a few items so you can familiarize yourself with the responsibilities that come with being a seller.
• To become a truly successful seller, you need to have lots of positive feedback. When you’re first starting out, you won’t have any. Build your business slowly and give great customer service so that you can earn positive feedback. That way, you’ll earn the trust of buyers, who will be more likely to do business with you once they see you’re an established and honest seller.
