Seller Guidelines

Everything you need to sell quickly and get paid fast

1. What You Can Sell

Single left or right earbuds (any brand)
Charging cases (with or without charging capability)
Ear tips, batteries, cables and accessories
Items graded "For Parts" are allowed — be honest about what doesn't work

2. Condition Grading Guide

Like New (9/10) — No visible scratches. Battery holds full charge. Original audio quality. Ideally still has original packaging.

Good (7/10) — Minor cosmetic marks from normal use. Fully functional. Battery at 80%+.

Fair (5/10) — Visible scratches or fading. Audio works fine. Battery may be at 60–80%.

For Parts (3/10) — Audio does not work, or battery lasts under 5 minutes. Good for repair/parts only. Must be disclosed clearly.

3. Photo Requirements

Good photos = faster sales. Listings with clear photos sell 3x faster.

Use natural daylight or a well-lit room. Avoid dark or blurry shots.
Show all visible scratches or defects honestly.
For earbuds: photograph the stem, speaker mesh, and connector.
For cases: show the hinge, lid interior, and charging port.

Tip: Place the item on a white sheet of paper for a clean background. One photo is enough — clarity matters more than quantity.

4. Pricing Tips

Check what similar items sold for using the Price Calculator.
Like New Apple AirPods typically sell for ₹1,200–₹2,000. boAt/Noise buds for ₹300–₹600.
Listings priced 15–20% below market value sell within 48 hours on average.

5. After a Buyer is Matched

You'll receive an email notification with buyer details.
A prepaid shipping label (Delhivery or Shiprocket) is sent to your email at no cost.
Pack the item securely and drop it at the nearest courier pickup point within 48 hours.
Once the buyer confirms delivery and successful pairing, payment is released to your bank account within 24 hours.

6. Secure Packaging Guide (Crucial for Tiny Earbuds)

Because single earbuds are small, lightweight, and fragile, they require careful packaging so they don't get damaged or lost in the sorting hubs of logistics networks like Delhivery. Please follow these steps:

Step 1: Clean & Sanitize — Wipe down the earbud with a sanitizing wipe or rubbing alcohol and remove any dirt or wax from the ear tips/speaker mesh. A clean earbud ensures the buyer approves the purchase immediately.
Step 2: Wrap to Absorb Shock — Wrap the earbud or case in 2-3 layers of bubble wrap or soft foam and secure it with tape to prevent shock damage.
Step 3: Use a Small, Hard Box — Do NOT use a paper envelope or simple plastic bag. Place the wrapped item inside a small cardboard box (like a matchbox or small jewelry box) and fill any empty spaces with crumpled paper so it doesn't rattle.
Step 4: Label and Seal — Tape all box seams securely. Print the shipping label sent to your email and tape it flat on the box. Write the Order ID (e.g. #BG-1042) clearly on the box using a marker as a backup.

7. Payout

We charge a 12% seller platform commission on your listed asking price. In addition, statutory deductions (TDS 1% + TCS 1%) are withheld and remitted to the government on your behalf. Your net bank payout is therefore about 84% of your listing price. There are no listing fees or hidden charges. Payouts go directly to your registered bank account or UPI ID once the buyer confirms pairing success.

Delivery is paid by the buyer, not you. Shipping charges are added to the buyer's total at checkout and are never deducted from your payout — you receive your price minus only the commission and statutory taxes. Sellers pay ₹0 to ship; a prepaid courier label is generated automatically. Delivery is even free for the buyer on orders above ₹1,500.
