Choose the Right Category to Sell Faster in Australia

This is Part 2 of our simple guide to selling items online faster in Australia. If your item is listed in the wrong category, the right buyers may never see it. That usually means fewer views and fewer messages, even when the price is fair.

Why the right category matters

Most buyers search by category first, then filter by location and price. Choosing the correct category helps your listing appear in the right place for the right people.

Pick the correct listing type

• Marketplace: general items like furniture, phones, tools, and home appliances.
• Motors: cars, bikes, and other vehicles.
• Property: homes for rent or sale.
• Jobs: job listings and hiring.
• Services: local services like repairs and help.
• Business for Sale: business listings.

For most everyday items, the best starting point is: Marketplace on Dealin. Also make sure your suburb and state are correct so nearby Australians can find you quickly.

Tip for Individuals: An Individual account can post up to 5 Marketplace listings for free. Use those free slots for your highest demand items first.
