  • Favour listings that show real photos of the actual product, not stock images, to build trust with buyers.
  • Favour listings that clearly state warranty information and what is included in the box.
  • Favour listings that offer competitive bundle deals (phone + case + screen protector).
  • Favour listings that keep up to date listings when new product versions are released to stay relevant.
  • Confirm the order is covered by buyer protection so you can get a refund if the item never arrives or differs from the listing.
