Top 10 Selling Tips for Posting on MaKaBo (and Getting Quick Responses!)

Selling something on Makabo.net? Whether it’s your old sofa, a bike, a property, or a home-cooked tiffin service — these smart tips will help your listing stand out, attract more serious buyers, and lead to faster sales.

Let’s turn your local listing into a success story!

✅ 1. Use Clear, Real Photos

People buy what they can see. Make sure to:

  • Upload real photos, not stock images.

  • Use good lighting — preferably natural daylight.

  • Show different angles of the product or space.

  • Highlight any wear or damage honestly.

📸 Pro tip: The first photo is the thumbnail – make it your best one!

🖋️ 2. Write a Straightforward, Honest Title

Your title should tell buyers what you’re selling — clearly.

Bad: “Great condition! Must see!”
Good: “Samsung 256L Double Door Fridge – 2 Years Old”

A great title saves time for both you and buyers.

📃 3. Describe Everything Buyers Need to Know

In the description box, answer common questions upfront:

  • Condition (new, used, refurbished)

  • Reason for selling

  • Dimensions/size (for furniture or property)

  • Age of the item

  • Price negotiable or fixed?

  • Pickup or delivery available?

Transparency builds trust — and trust sells faster.

🎯 4. Choose the Right Category

Pick the most relevant category so your post is seen by the right people:

  • Bike → Vehicles

  • Cook Needed → Jobs

  • Tiffin Service → Food & Services

The more accurate your category, the better your results.

📍 5. Be Location Specific

Makabo is a hyperlocal platform — buyers want things close by.

Add your area or landmark in the post:

  • “Kandivali East – Near Thakur Village”

  • “Malad West – Close to Inorbit Mall”

This increases interest from nearby users who can quickly pick up or visit.

💰 6. Set a Fair Price

Do a quick search on Makabo for similar items to price competitively.

You can:

  • Start slightly higher to allow negotiation.

  • Mention if the price is firm or negotiable.

💡 Bonus Tip: A well-priced item gets more responses in the first 24 hours!

📞 7. Be Responsive

Once your ad is live, reply to messages or calls quickly. Buyers move fast, especially on local platforms.

Activate notifications so you don’t miss leads.

🏷️ 8. Use Tags & Keywords

Add relevant tags to help your listing appear in search results:

  • “second-hand TV”

  • “job in Borivali”

  • “flat for rent”

  • “maid service in Malad”

More keywords = more visibility.

🛡️ 9. Get Verified for Trust

If you’re a business or service provider, Makabo can verify your:

  • Aadhaar ID

  • FSSAI license (for food vendors)

  • RERA number (for real estate agents)

Verified sellers build instant trust and get better conversions. Ask us how to get verified.

🚫 10. Avoid Common Mistakes

  • Don’t post the same item multiple times — it can be flagged.

  • Don’t use misleading titles or fake urgency.

  • Never share OTPs or payment links outside the app.

  • Avoid overpromising – it leads to bad reviews.

Final Word: Sell Locally, Sell Smart.
