Seller FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about selling on Resale Rack, from listing and pricing to delivery and getting paid.

Getting started

How do I become a seller?

Start out by filling in our Seller Registration Form with your basic details. All information about our selling process can be found on our Become a Seller page.

I’ve bought from Resale Rack before. Can I sell too?

Yes. Simply update your account to a vendor account to start listing. You’ll find this tab at the bottom of your account dashboard.

Does it cost anything to list?

Listing on our website is free. Our ‘List-for-You’ service via WhatsApp, where we upload your items for you, comes with listing fees starting from 7 GHS. See the full fees on our Become a Seller page.

Can shop owners or small businesses sell on Resale Rack?

Yes! Resale Rack was made with you in mind too. List all your items on our platform and host your store on our website for free. Once you sign up to sell, you’ll get your own shop link, for example resalerack.store/store/yourshopname, to share online and on your socials, so customers can find all your goods in one place.

Listing your items

Which store does my item go in?
  • Mum’s Basement Babies, kids, pregnancy and maternity
  • Mama’s Marketplace Women’s fashion, shoes, bags, beauty and accessories (mum or not!)
  • Dad’s Den Men’s fashion, shoes, bags, grooming and accessories
  • The Rack Everything else, from kitchenware and gadgets to books, furniture and fitness gear

Not sure? Choose The Rack, and we’ll move it if needed when we approve your item.

What condition do items need to be in?

Items can be Brand-new, Almost-new, Gently-used or Used, as long as they are in good condition.

How many photos should I upload, and what makes a good photo?

As many as you can, but usually up to 6 photos is enough to show every angle of your item, so buyers can assess it properly.

See our tips for taking photos guide to help you take the best pictures of your items.

How do I list an item with several sizes or colours?

If you are listing on our website, submit one product at a time, and list any sizes, colours or extra quantities under the short description.

How long does approval take?

Approval usually takes up to 24 hours.

Pricing

Who prices my item?

You do. Resale Rack doesn’t set prices. We believe a seller is king when it comes to pricing. You know how much you bought an item for, how long you used it and how much you want for it.

But as a resale and discount store, we do ask sellers to list their best offers, below regular market prices, in line with our Best Price Policy.

If you’re caught in a pricing dilemma, just get in touch with us via WhatsApp. Our Seller Relations Officers are always on hand to help with suggestions based on experience, current market prices, recent sales and the item’s condition.

Can I change my price after listing?

Yes, you can. Just log in to your vendor dashboard and update your price. Lower, we hope, since a great price helps your item sell faster! 🙂

What happens if my item doesn’t sell?

Your listing stays up until your item sells. Our goal is to make sure everything sells as quickly as possible. If your item hasn’t sold after 6 weeks, we’ll suggest a price drop if you listed online. If you used our List-for-You service, we’ll reduce it to the lowest price you’ve agreed to. We’ll then re-advertise your new price on our socials.

Selling and delivery

Will I be in touch with the buyer?

No. Resale Rack handles all communication to keep both buyers and sellers safe.

Who handles delivery?

Our third-party courier partners collect from you and deliver to the buyer, combining orders where possible. Once your sale is confirmed, we’ll arrange collection. You can also drop items at our office in Coastal Estates, Baatsona, off Spintex Road.

Who pays for delivery?

The buyer pays delivery directly to the courier, and Resale Rack doesn’t make any profit from delivery fees. If an item is returned because it didn’t match its listing, the seller pays the return delivery.

How long does delivery take?

Within 48 hours (business days). Express delivery is available at express rates, depending on the seller’s availability.

Do you deliver outside Accra?

Yes, through trusted transport partners such as FedEx, O.A Transport, STC or VIP. Large items travel by cargo truck.

How should I package my item?

Please make sure your item is presented in its best sellable condition: cleaned, dusted, wiped and packed as carefully as possible to prevent any damage in transit.

Label every package with the buyer’s name and general location, which you will receive with your sale notification. No contact details are needed.

Fees and payment

What fees do I pay?

A 13.5% service fee, deducted after your item sells, plus a listing fee only if you use our List-for-You service. See our Become a Seller page for details.

When and how do I get paid?

After each completed sale, once the buyer confirms receipt and that all is well with the item, we send your earnings to your Mobile Money account within 24 hours.

Why does my dashboard show my earnings?

Your dashboard shows the total you’ve earned through Resale Rack. Your payment is sent to your Mobile Money account after each completed sale.

Returns and standards

What if a buyer says the item doesn’t match the listing?

Any seller who fails to meet our quality or honesty standards will bear the cost of return delivery and service fees.

Can a buyer return an item because they changed their mind or it’s the wrong size?

No. Resale Rack is a decluttering platform for sellers trying to free up space, so please take your time to make sure you want an item and that it meets your needs before buying. Great-priced items go quickly, and a return like this could have cost the seller a sale to another interested buyer. If an item doesn’t turn out to suit you, you’re welcome to resell it on Resale Rack.
