Post items in the Marketplace section and choose a category
This will ensure that your post will be included in the Classlist weekly Digest. The Digest goes out on a Thursday evening at 6pm (7pm in British Summertime). Posts appear in order with the newest at the top, but if someone has commented on a post it will be bumped up to the top of the list. Choosing a category makes it easier for parents to search the Marketplace if there are a lot of posts.
-
Attach photos of your item.
Parents will be more likely to purchase your item if they can see recent photos of it. While a good description is nice, a photo is worth a thousand words. Use a square aspect ratio of 1:1 with your item in the centre if you are on a desktop. If you are on a mobile you will be able to move the square around to get the best view of your image.
-
Include the price.
If the price is negotiable, you can state the amount you are hoping to get for the item followed by "OBO," which means "or best offer."
-
State the condition of the item.
If there are any defects or issues with the item, be sure to mention them so that interested parties are not surprised later.
-
Reply privately to those who are interested.
If a member wishes to purchase your item or come by to see it, send them a private message to make the arrangements.
-
Indicate when the item has sold.
Once your item has sold, mark your post as complete. This will save you from receiving responses to an already complete sale.

The Marketplace is for parent to parent personal selling such as second hand bikes, holiday homes, outgrown school kit, and not for parents to promote their own businesses and services.
NB For some schools, locals businesses can pay to place adverts on Classlist by contacting Classlist via advertise@classlist.com. This is entirely separate to the Marketplace listings. This service is not available in all schools and depends on your school's subscription plan to Classlist.
