MARKET.YU wish list: what should a fair listing look like?

6 replies · 145 views

I make instruments, slowly. When I sell on big platforms I pay a fat cut, my name is small, and the reviews belong to the platform, not to me.

My wish list for a listing page on MARKET.YU:

  • The maker is the heading, the product second.
  • A plain description of materials and time, not keywords.
  • Reputation that travels with me, so if I leave, I take my history.
  • Clear fees shown before I list.
  • Photos large, no popups.

What else would you add? And what would you refuse?

Add shipping honesty: real cost and real time, for far-away buyers. I send from Sweden to the Balkans and the post is a lottery.

Add made-to-order status. My tables are not in a warehouse, they are in my head until someone asks.

As exporter: please have export documents guidance per country. Not legal advice, just a checklist.

I would refuse: countdown timers, fake scarcity, 'only 2 left' unless it is true and verifiable. Put it in the listing rules.

Yes to all of this. Anti-dark-pattern rules go on the wish list in bold.

Musicians would want to attach a sound sample directly to the listing, so buyers hear the viola, not read about it.
