Reply Fast and Communicate Clearly to Sell Faster in Australia

This is Part 7 of our guide to selling items online faster in Australia. Fast replies increase your chances of selling because many buyers message multiple sellers. If you respond late, they often buy from someone else.

What to say in your replies

• Availability: confirm if the item is still available.
• Payment method: be clear about what you accept.
• Pickup or delivery: share suburb and a time window.

Keep your messages polite and professional, and avoid long delays. Clear replies help Australians organise pickup faster. For general items, list in Marketplace. Individuals can post up to 5 Marketplace listings for free.
