How to Sell Electronics Fast on Harib: Complete Seller Guide

Listings that sell within days and listings that rot for weeks are usually separated by an hour of effort. This guide covers exactly how to prepare, price and manage a listing on Harib so serious buyers pick yours first.

Photos: The 10-Minute Job That Doubles Your Replies

Buyers scroll past listings with one blurry photo. Do this instead:

• Shoot 6–10 photos in daylight near a window, on a plain surface. No flash, no filters.
• Cover every angle: front, back, all sides, ports, and the screen turned on.
• Show the flaws deliberately: close-ups of every scratch and dent. This builds trust and pre-empts the "any faults?" back-and-forth.
• Photograph the extras: box, charger, bill, warranty card. A complete-box phone consistently sells faster and closer to asking price.
• For phones, include screenshots of the About page and battery health; for laptops, a screenshot of system specs.

Honest Condition Grading

Overselling condition wastes everyone's time — buyers walk away at the meetup and you start over. Grade conservatively:

• Like new / open box: genuinely no visible marks, complete box.
• Excellent: faint micro-scratches visible only under light.
• Good: visible wear, fully functional. Most used devices are "good" — say so.
• Fair: dents, screen marks or a fault. Disclose faults in the first line, not buried at the end.

State the deal-relevant facts up front: PTA status (checked via 8484), battery health percentage, repair history, and whether the price is final or negotiable.

Pricing Against the Market

• Search your exact model on Harib's explore page and note what active listings ask — then remember asking prices run 5–15% above selling prices.
• Price at or slightly below the median of comparable-condition listings if you want a fast sale; the first 48 hours of a listing get the most views.
• Leave a small negotiation margin — Pakistani buyers expect to bargain — but decide your floor before the first chat.
• Repricing beats waiting: if you get no serious messages in a week, cut 5% rather than letting the listing go stale.

Also watch buyer briefs — buyers post exactly what they want with budgets attached. Responding to a matching brief is often faster than waiting for your listing to be found.

Responding to Chats

• Reply fast. Response time is a ranking and trust signal; buyers messaging five sellers buy from whoever answers first.
• Answer the actual question, then move the deal forward: "Yes, PTA-approved, battery 91%. You can test everything at the meetup — when works for you?"
• Filter time-wasters politely: someone offering half your price on message one isn't negotiating, they're fishing. A firm "the floor is X" ends it either way.
• Keep the conversation on-platform until the deal is set — it protects both sides with a record.

Safe Meetup and Payment

• Meet in public, busy locations: mall food courts, bank lobbies, or known markets — Star City Mall or Saddar in Karachi, Hafeez Centre in Lahore, Blue Area in Islamabad. Daylight hours.
• Let the buyer test the device fully; a confident seller's best closing tool is "check everything."
• Payment: cash counted on the spot, or an instant bank transfer you verify in your own banking app before handing over the device. Never accept screenshots, cheques, or "partial now, rest later."
• For couriers/remote deals, be extra careful: confirmed payment first, record a video of the packed working device, and use tracked shipping.

Why Verified Shops Sell Faster

Individual listings compete on price; verified shops compete on trust. A shop profile on Harib gets a storefront page, a review history, and a badge that answers the buyer's biggest question — "will this go wrong?" — before they even chat. If you sell more than a handful of devices a month, becoming a verified seller typically pays for itself in faster closes and better prices. Ready to test the advice? Post your first listing — it takes about five minutes with the photos ready.

FAQ

How fast can I expect to sell a phone on Harib?

Priced at market with good photos and quick replies, popular models often sell within 2–5 days. Overpriced or one-photo listings can sit for weeks.

Should I mention faults in my listing?

Always, and early. Disclosed faults filter out mismatched buyers before the meetup; discovered faults kill deals at the meetup and earn bad reviews.

What is the safest way to receive payment?

Cash in person, or an instant bank transfer you confirm inside your own banking app before handing over the item. Never rely on payment screenshots.

Do verified shops really sell faster?

Yes — the verification badge, storefront and review history reduce buyer hesitation, which shortens negotiations and supports firmer pricing.
