Why does selling stall between closet and listing?
Most selling intentions die in the gap between "I should sell this" and a live listing: photos to take, a description to write, prices to research, forms to fill. A cataloged item already carried that homework - so publishing is checking a draft, not starting from a blank page.
What should be true before you publish?
- Correct model, size, leather and hardware - buyers search those strings.
- Date mark copied exactly, with the year you decoded.
- Honest condition notes on corners, hardware, lining and odour.
- Photos of the exterior, stamp, hardware and any inclusions.
- A market estimate checked against comparable completed sales.
- Your asking price adjusted for condition, completeness and how fast you want it gone.
Which marketplace should a bag use?
Follow the item and your country. Classified ads cover a local sale. eBay covers a wide set of categories and countries. In samla.ai, publishing to classified ads and eBay is a Pro and Ultra feature, and which marketplaces you see depends on your country.
How does publishing work from a cataloged item?
Open the bag, choose publish, and review the draft built from the fields and photos you already have. Edit the title and price if you want a faster sale or a stricter description, then send it. You are not retyping the model, the stamp or the condition from memory.
When the bag leaves, mark the departure so you do not hunt a ghost on the shelf. The catalog stays the record of what you owned, and the next listing starts from the next item - not from a blank form.
