1 Click Auctions Guidelines on creating legally compliant listings

The following are general guidelines to help you create listings that won't infringe the intellectual property rights of others. However, these guidelines are not intended to constitute legal advice. Given the wide range of products available for sale on 1 Click Auctions, 1 Click Auctions cannot be an expert in the specific intellectual property concerns regarding each item, and cannot offer brand specific advice. If you have specific questions about the legality of your item, you should contact the manufacturer, where appropriate, or an intellectual property lawyer

  1. Create your own listings. Avoid using other users descriptions or images. Your items are likely to be unique and therefore should be described accurately and honestly
  2. Ensure the statements in your listing is accurate
  3. Use Brand names appropriately
  4. Ensure your item is authentic, and at least described correctly if reproduction
  5. Contact the intellectual property owners before listing where appropriate

Selling with improved results

Here are some tips on how to create better titles and descriptions and how to price your item

Titles/ Short Description

Did you know the default search feature scans only listing titles? That's why it's really important to put the best information in the title. Here are a few tips:

  • Include your item's manufacturer, brand name, or designer, but be sure that any reference to these names complies with 1 Click Auction Policies. For instance, we don't allow keyword spamming, which is inappropriately using brand names or other words for the purpose of attracting buyers to a listing.
  • Describe your item in 50 characters (counting both letters and spaces) or less.

Long/ Main Description

Try to Anticipate and answer buyers' questions. Keep these things in mind:

  • Details, details, details. Tell buyers as much as you can about your item:
  • What the item is
  • Who made it
  • What it's made of
  • What condition it's in
  • Include several pictures, showing fine details and the condition of your product.
  • For high-price items, buyers expect more information such as:
  • Special history
  • How you got the item
  • Where it's been kept

Price

The right price entices people to shop and makes buyers feel confident about their purchase. So keep these things in mind:

  • The item's true market value
  • How does it compare to similar items?
  • What condition is it in?
