Getting seen on RETRuly

Shoppers on RETRuly browse by department, search for particular items and use the search filters. It is therefore important that your listings take into account all three of these.

In order to ensure your items are seen in the search it is important to ensure that your item title contains all the search terms that a customer is likely to use, it is also advisable to include the size of the item in the title. Once a seller has found your item, good quality photos and a detailed description with accurate measurement and detailed condition report will maximise your chances of selling.

When you list an item please ensure that the select all the search filters that apply. If you don’t complete these your items will not show up if the customer selects the search filter.
